A Quick Catch up on Some of theTrends of 2013

Hello Strangers ! 

I'm so sorry that I have been M.I.A! All the work load and lack of sleep, hasn't let me keep up with my blog posts, so today, instead, I decided to look up on and have a quick catch up of some of the trends of 2013! 

PS. I will still be updating this post with much more trends, so keep posted! XO

It's all about London Fashion Week !!

                               

Heyy Guyss!

I'm so overjoyed this week with London Fashion Week and the fact that I'm officially moving back to Spain by the end of this month! I got the job that I was hoping to get in this amazing, well-known marketing agency back in Madrid and I'm starting to work there this October! That also means that I have sooo much to do in such little time; like pack my in-numerous number of clothes and post them back home ASAP.

Getting back on topic to London Fashion Week; I was invited to see Matthew O'Brien's collection and designs by Marina Prokopiva (who I'm interning with) as her jewelry was worn by his models on the catwalk. 

The second picture above, is a little sneak-peak of this fall's fashion from a couple of designers such as; Cassandra Amoré, Bibhusaa, Taslima K, Marie MacSharry and Matthew O'Brien. Nonetheless, for those of you who have me on Facebook will be able to see videos of "Fashion's Finest" show, in a little bit more detail. 

My favourite designer from the "London's Fashion Week off schedule show" was Marie MacSharry; I liked almost all of the outfits that were showcased and I feel like it was the one that I could most relate to.

I was really indecisive when it came down to choosing what to wear for the show, but I finally chose to wear a black long maxi skirt that is figure-fit at the top with a pistachio coloured crop-top and stiletto black heels.

I bought this skirt from Forever 21, Hong Kong and absolutely love it as it gives off more of a elegant look in comparison to my other skirts because of its different material, which was just what I needed, as I didn't want to walk in with a crop-top and maxi skirt portraying a trashy kind of look. The skirt's also transparent from half way down my thighs and is attached to a plaited black belt at the top which makes it even more trendier. 

I loved the colour of this pistachio crop-top, the fact that it contrasted so well with the skirt and that I managed to show off a bit of my belly without looking so shabby, was exactly the look that I wanted to go for. I combined this outfit with a black leather zipped clutch, my out of town, black suede stiletto heels from office (as seen in my previous post; http://divs30.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/black-suede-sided-leather-dress.html) and a black and gold floral necklace that I don't remember where I bought from.

For those of you'll wondering that I have the same shoes as my friend; the one in blue, those are mine! I got my friend to come with me, which was very last minute, and because she didn't have appropriate clothes to assist me to this show, she chose a couple of things from my wardrobe and put a fab outfit together! :)

Until my next post! XO

Heeeyy!!

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I said my work would take over my life again, and surprise, surprise, IT HAS! Thus, I'm going back to post once a week.

So this week, I'm going to talk about the outfit I wore to Drury; a new club in Covent Garden, London. It consists of a black suede sided leather dress that I bought from H&M in Hong Kong. Again, like my previous post, this is a body-hugging dress and because of its suede sides and its black colour, it's much more flattering! The good thing about it, is that you can wear this dress for a hot date or for a night out with the girls, and choose how to dress it up by combining it with silver or gold accessories.

I paired it with understated jewelry, a simple silver cuff from Forever 21, and silver Swarovski earrings, but to avoid it from looking very simple I curled my hair with my "Remington Pearl Hair Curling Wand" (as seen in the picture on the right) and wore a matte bright red lipstick with killer black stiletto heels from Office and a black leather zipped clutch. 

I really liked the overall look, it wasn't too over the top or too simple, for those of you looking to go for that curly look, I definitely recommend that curling wand, I mentioned earlier.

Have a fab week!

Heeeey!!

I'm going to go straight to the point this time, as I know that some of you'll have been waiting for this one! But, WOAAH, I just realised it's been a while since I featured in an evening dress!!

We have previously seen this trendy colour on celebrities, such as Blake Lively, Eva Mendez, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Kate Middleton, so if you want to make an impression, blue is the way to go!

The outfit I wore consists of a royal blue bodycon dress that features an open laced back and sides that helps to highlight my curves, besides, I reaally like this royal blue colour on me but I just feel that it would look even better on those with a slightly more tanned skin than mine.

Additionally, to make it look even more luxurious, I wore my rees 2 part high heels from Topshop that I absolutely love as they are suede black sandal stilettos with a gold bar around the ankle. I feel it gives the look and the dress, in general, a whole new superior perspective but I couldn't find these on the website, as I purchased them from Topshop, Hong Kong. Nevertheless, I've been told that the fashion hits those streets first, so maybe it will be a while for it to touch London town.

I also piled on some accessories such as a gold necklace and peace signed earrings, which I don't remember where I bought from, but I'm sure there are similar ones out there, especially in terms of the necklace.

I used my Chanel bag for these pictures but I ended up taking my clutch from Prada (coming up soon) to the party instead as we all know that chunky, big bags are good for daytime use but small bags do it for a night out.

Have a good day! XO

Heyaa!

I cant't believe I'm writing up so many posts lately, but its only because one of my bosses is on holiday for this week, otherwise I know I wouldn't be able to cope as much. Sooner or later, I will go back to posting once a week but whenever I see that I can, I'll additionally post something up, to help make up for the loss time, for when I'm on holiday. 

Having said that, actually, my cousins and I are planning on going to Thailaaaand this Christmas! Yes, that means a hot Christmas & New Years, getting a tan and summer all over again! I'm so excited, I JUST CANT WAIT!!!

I don't want to bore you with that though (or at least for now) as it's a long way ahead, so lets get back on topic...

NEVER have you EVER seen me in pants (and I mean trousers), so have a good look!! I feel that this smart look can work for an interview/lunch with your boss/a day out with your friends or even for a date. I personally wore it out for a lunch with my boss in Central London as well as to see a friend from Madrid who was holidaying around here. I really like the look of these leggings and because they're so thick it would be more appropriately worn in the winter but they can be pulled off throughout the year, especially for those Londoners.

I wore these leggings with a simple, black racer back top so that the colour could blend in and I could avoid looking overdressed (as usual). I found that it looked too dull, however, especially as I going to meet my friend for a few cocktails after, so I embellished the look by adding on a gold tone chunky double curb chain which wasn't too professional of me, taking in account that I'm going for a lunch with my boss before, but unlike any other boss, he's more chilled out and I did have to make my fashion statement as he's in the fashion industry himself, (same applies for the red lips).

Additionally, I combined it with gwenda pointed low court shoes to give it more of a formal and elegant touch.

Stay tuned, to read my next post and see what I wore on a night out in London!

Heyy Guys! 

How have you been? Hope those make up posts helped and encouraged you to buy some of the items you never heard of; as some of you'll mentioned to me earlier.

Today we are going to talk about the daytime outfit you can see from the pictures above.

The neon crocheted lace tank pulls off a very summery look because of its colour and the fact that it is semi- transparent and floral patterned from the front. In the link above, the model wears it with a similar toned bandeau, which I don't like much as I feel like it's killing the vibe, so instead, I wore it with a black bra to contrast it from the neon coral and highlight the pattern even more.

Additionally, the black skirt supports that contrast and for those of you who know me, know that I wear this skirt so often and I absolutely love it! I definitely recommend this skirt; as it's cheap, comfortable and convenient to match it with several items, whether its hot or not.

I love dressing up and sometimes, I go over the top, so I felt like wearing the espadrille peep toe wedges, would help dress up the look and obviate it from looking that dull, simple and casual.

I carried a large classic flap bag from Chanel, A.K.A. my new baby. It's bigger than my other silver classic flap bag so it's so practical for me as it fits everything I need; such as my make up, wallet, house keys with a dozen key rings, phone etc. Personally, I just love the look of it, its smooth, matte and soft so if your looking to buy a bag and saving up, I do definitely recommend this one as its also timeless, stylish and classy.

Keep Posted, for my next look! XO

It's ALL About The Make Up, Girls! (PART 4/4)

Some people put their foundation on with their hands, or use a blending sponge whilst other use brushes! It's important to clean your make up brushes regularly as they harbour dirt and bacteria that can cause spots. You can clean your brushes with shampoo or for example, use MAC's own brush cleanser solution.

Let's start off with the biggest brush in the picture, 150 Large Powder Brush from MAC. This ones used for loose or pressed powder products application. I don't really like this brush too much as it's so big, so instead, I use the 116 Blush Brush from MAC (the one above the 150), that is used for sculpting shaping and blending powder products. 

Above that, is the 242 Shader Brush from MAC, which is used for the application and blending of powder, concealer, or emollient-based products, but I personally just use it to apply my concealer as its small and helps cover up small detail around my eyes and other imperfections.

Above that, is the 191 square foundation brush from MAC which is used to apply and blend emollient and water-based foundation and cheek products, such as liquid foundation. It is also, additionally soft as its made of synthetics.

The one above that, is the 188 small duo fibre face brush from MAC, that is used for the light application of powder, emollient or water based foundation and cheek products. Clearly, as you can see from the picture above, I just use it to apply my blush.

I don't remember where my Eyelash Curler is from, but usually it's fairly cheap and it's a shortcut to wide-eyed natural beauty that also helps volumizing mascara resulting in maximum impact.

The pink Blending Sponge is extra handy as its pointed end can be used to apply foundation or concealer around the nose or eyes and the rounded end for make up such as cream, mineral, liquid foundation or blush to the rest of the face. Other than that, it's easy to clean; as all you have to do is squeeze it under soapy water, several times.

In terms of make up brushes, I occasionally use the next 4 brushes (to the left of this picture) for eyeshadow blending and application. The first brush from the left of the picture is double-sided, one side is used for blush application (which I've never used before) and the other, I use to blend my eyeshadow with. The third brush from the left of the picture, is also double-sided, where one side I use to "millionize" my eyelashes and shape my brow with, whilst, the other side again, is use for eyeshadow application. I bought this set from Superdrug in London for around £10 and found it totally advantageous and worth it.

Keep posted for my next posts; back to outfits!
