My Everyday Face

Tuesday, 25 October 2011


I've had requests (many times) to do an updated version of My Everyday Face. So here it is! It should also help those who were wondering about what makeup I used in my last few outfit posts! 

I also get asked a lot about my eyebrows and how I keep them groomed, well the answer really is simple: I visit a professional "Threadist" once every two weeks to get them threaded and shaped! You can look up Brow Bars, or Beauty Shops that offer this service in your area! Prices of threading do vary, depending on area and service! Hope you enjoy the tutorial! :) xo

Style is Personal.

Monday, 24 October 2011


Every time I am asked to sum up my style in one word, I always find I can't. I'd say its a mix of everything. I tend to dress based on my mood, and what at the time, I'm inspired by. Hence my edgy days, classy days, playful days etc..

I also feel I'm constantly evolving. I discover new ways to dress everyday, and the sheer enjoyment of embracing new ideas sits very well with me.

In all honesty dressing up in a fashionable or stylish way didn't always come natural to me. It's something I have been developing for a while now, and I've come to realise it's more about how I feel rather than how to look. Yes it's good to keep an eye out for trends, and yes it's good to occasionally incorporate those trends into my everyday dressing, but I've just found that If I can look in the mirror and say "Yes", then I'm good to go.

I think style is personal. I've said this before and I will re-iterate it... How I dress is not always going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm still going to embrace the way I dress, keep evolving, and keep enjoying myself in the process.

I love to see girls (and boys too!) embrace their style. I revel in the thought THEY feel and look good, no matter what they're wearing, and that inspires me.

Keeping an open mind has also allowed me to develop my style. There have been times I've thought "Oh that would never suit me", but soon after I've thought that, I go ahead and try it, and most times I end up loving the way it looks on me.

If you are developing your own style, be willing to consider new ideas. I'll also say to keep a style diary, it can be a blog or a scrapbook of your outfits. If you're not all that up for blogging, uploading your looks onto sites like or Chictopia is a great way to keep tabs on your growth.
Try new things and be brave enough to take risks, this way you're more likely to find what works for you and what makes you feel and look good.
It's your style.
It's personal.

Black on Black

Saturday, 15 October 2011


Black is just THAT colour. It's classic and timeless. I like the ease of slipping on an 'all black' outfit, because I know no matter what, it would look flattering. You can say this one was somewhat 'ballerina' inspired. I remember when I was little (and I'm sure most other girls out there can relate...) I used to wish I was one!
 I shot these using the black and white filter on my camera, and being such a lover of black and white photos, i'm quite pleased with how these came out.

Hardware (Accessories)

Wednesday, 12 October 2011


There's just something about this type of accessory that I Love. I've mentioned this before in the past, but I'm drawn to simple but unique looking jewellery, that still manages to make a statement. The necklace (£7.99) and bracelet (£3.99) are both by H&M. I'm wearing them today! :)

As a friend of mine rightly puts it, good weather in Britain comes as often as a Solar Eclipse. Haha, so true!
It's been beautiful these past few days, and I've loved every second of it. I'd had a stressful week last week, and the good weather really put my mind at ease. Amazing what a little sun can do, eh?

It has also been nice visiting my summer wardrobe and wearing some of my favourite summer pieces! :)
