Classic Brit Awards OOTD

Hello Honeys!

Hope you're well and are having a beautiful week!

I had the pleasure to receive VIP tickets for the Classic Brit Awards last night.  I'm not going to lie, I was a little apprehensive as it's not like I know a whole lot about classical music, but oh my gosh was last night incredible! (I think its going to be shown on ITV Saturday at 10.20pm if you fancy seeing it).

There was Lang Lang - the amazing Chinese pianist who opened the Chinese Olympic Ceremony, Nicola Benedetti - simply gorgeous, and the star of the evening - Hans Zimmer aka the guy who wrote the sound tracks to over 150 films including The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean,  The Dark Night Rises, Inception & Sherlock Holmes.  It was so incredible I really would recommend it to anyone!

Clothes

I wore my favorite lace LBD from H&M, black zara leather jacket and a Moschino brown leather bag.  I left my hair in natural waves and kep my makeup light and sparkly.

It was such a beautiful evening and the Classic Brit Awards are definitely something I'd like to see again.  Oh - and Myleene Klasse's dress was just WOW.

Have you guys ever been?  Or are you gonna watch it ??

London in the Sun - Caramel leather jacket & Kiko kiss balm

Hey Dolls, 

I don't know about you but I've been loving the beautiful weather we've been having this summer here in London.  So today I've dressed ready to spend the day down at Hyde Park (hence the flipflops!).

I've got on here one of my favorite lambskin leather jackets from Muubaa as its perfect for this summer weather with its copped length and delicious light caramel colour.  Perfect for taking of the edge off those summer breezes. I've matched the look with natural makeup but with a touch of my new Kiko kiss balm, see down below for more details!

I'm Wearing:

Muubaa Leather jacker SS12: similar here

H&M Long Top SS13: Available here

Jeans - Italian boutique: Similar here

Moschino Leather Bag SS13: Available here

GAP leather flipflops SS13: Available here

Check out my Kiki makeup down below!

Makeup: Today I tried out a brand new lip balm called kiss balm by Kiko in 04 Cherry.  I bought it because of its beautiful smell that is good enough to eat (it's also a bargain at £5.90).  Even though it looks bright pink, it just adds a subtle pink gloss to the lips that I just love.  It also leaves them feeling amazingly nourished too. Available here.

And that's it, my beauties.  I hope you've enjoyed!

Let me know what you think!

Look of the day - leather

Hi ladies,

Summer still isn't quite with us yet and there's still a lot of showers so it's not time to quite wack out the short shorts and flipflops.

So, to fight against the elements I've gone for a lot of leather (pleather). Since living in London the last year, I've seen that a leather jacket is a staple for most girls, from summer to winter. Where ever you look you'll see girls adding it to their outfit.

I've paired it with some Urban Outfitters leather leggings and some ankle boots to complete the look

 Wearing: Cuffed Vegan Leather leggings from UO, Leather jacket from Zara (last season), ankle boots Topsho (last season), 
Makeup: See previous post

Bronze it up!

Putting on the right amount of makeup depending on the occasion is sometimes quite hard to gauge.  There's nothing worse than being too made up or too little. This weekend was a close friends birthday and she treated us all to a beautiful home cooked dinner.  I opted for a subtle gold and black smokey eyes with tonnes of bronzer to make it a bit more special



Below are some of my most used and most trusted makeup products.  These all make part of my fail-safe makeup bag and I carry with me wherever I go!  The bronzed effect was achieved through lightly applying the Nars bronzer all over with a large bush and then concentrating more under the cheekbones in order to acheive contouring.  The Benefit blush I then gently applied above this to lift the cheekbones and add a glow.

Face makeup - applied in this order

• YSL touch eclait foundation in B55
• Concealer - YSL top secret BB cream
• MAC prep and prime white loose powder
• NARS laguna bronzer
• Benefit Cosmetics blush in dallas

Eye Makeup

• Clarins barocco trio (my favorite smokey pallet in the world, discontinued)
• DiorShow Blackout
• Chanel kohl crayon in peche cuivre

Clothes: Zara biker jacket, Miss Selfridges jewelled shirt



To Venice with Love

I recently went away to Venice for a day trip.  Though I used to live in Italy, and have travelled around most of it, this was my first time there.  I think it has also become my favorite city in the world. There is so much history in the walls, and it looks like nobody had touched it for hundreds of years.

To get to Venice from mainland Italy you have to get the ferry as there are no direct roads into the city.  Going on it made me feel like I was in the film The Tourist with Johnny Depp!  It was a beautiful day but still a bit windy on the ferry so I made sure I took with me my favorite fitted biker jacket by Muubaa. This seasons version can be found here.

Cream Jacket: Muubaa

Blue top with bow detailing: Urban Outfitters

Jeans: Topshop

When I left in the early evening there was a beautiful sunset bathing the city in a gorgeous blue and purple light. Have you guys ever been, what did you think of it!?
