☆Twin Code☆

I think a lot of you know already of my love for twin codes – why be jealous/mad that your friend has the same dress, skirt etc. Just have fun and work it!

You may also remember that Tori and I did a twin code back in 2010. Well we’re back with something new for 2011, this time with a Star Print theme!

My Code
Star print dress & red belt

Blazer
New favourite wedges!

Jade Earrings & Necklace

Accessories & Nails
Tori’s Code

ASOS Star-print dress

Floppy hat
Oxfords & Slouchy socks

I was so pleased with how similar our prints were.  Tori had mentioned it, but I never thought they would be so alike. This girl is so effortlessly beautiful and I always enjoy doing twin codes together. I love the simplicity & elegance that Tori created with her look – teach me your ways! 

Check out Tori’s post on our twin code, here.

If I was a rich girl…

I would certainly be buying up a storm in Urban Outfitters. I’ve always been a fan of the store ever since my first visit to America. There are a few stores littered across the UK but I usually have to travel to visit one.

Inspiration; Seeing Red

The fabulous Rii of Utsukushii Gal made a post recently about Red Lips in Gal, which I loved. In the post she tried out red lips herself (and looked absolutely stunning whilst doing so) – she paired her look with matching make-up & a rock code. 
This inspired me, because she was trying something new and it turned out great! So I thought about maybe trying it for myself – why? I have never worn red lipstick before as I’m so fair skinned, so I figured why not give it a try!
I actually think the red didn’t come out too bad haha
It certainly looked dramatic against my light skin, but I felt that was part of the look. Even so I don’t think I would wear this kind of colour without matching dramatic eyes, but it is certainly a look I will be trying again
So thank you Rii for inspiring me to try something new, and for showing us all how fabulous red lips can be in gal!
What do you think of red lipstick in gal?
Would you try it out yourself sometime?

MURUA トップス ♥

I’m loving Murua’s top collection right now, and how they place a coordinate pic of each one (see +code) on the webstore – makes it a bit more inspirational and seeing a good code of an item I like always seals the deal for me. Casual ~ Chic designs 

They also help international customers buy from the webstore – makes it that much sweeter

Inspiration; Momoko Ogihara ♥

A few people have asked me lately to make some inspirations posts, which I was excited about because I love seeing other peoples~

For my first inspiration post, I’m going to feature Momoko Ogihara as I have a big girl crush on her because I’m really feeling Murua and her personal style right now
Gotta get me one of those Murua iPhone covers

I have been loving wavy hair for a couple of months and Momoko carrys it off so well…and if you want to know how she does it, check out the beast of a hair iron she uses in my latest tweet

Also love her simple up-dos & make-up

 
Great use of accessories & love her nails

If there’s one thing that I have been inspired by since I first began following her blog, it has to be her make-up

It’s dramatic without being too ott. I like a look that can carry from day into night and I think she usually does this pretty well. She also wears some of the best contacts out there right now, I always find myself envious of them & wanting to know which ones she’s wearing. Anyone else agree?

And of course I adore her fashion sense. I always look forward to an update on her blog with new coordinates. She always makes her outfits look so effortlessly chic/on trend. My favourites right now have to be: her use of the Murua pearl collar & what I see as her version of ‘blogger’

I know that a lot of people aren’t into Mode (in gal), which is fair enough. I personally like it as it fits my personality and lifestyle a bit more than other styles right now…and Momoko is really representin
