What I like to wear :)

I have been really loving this summer!!

Especially since I went to so many weddings, I got to experience and search for so many dresses lol. I mean I do that anyway but this time I really had to look for the perfect dress.

I must have looked through so many shops and online shopping and I finally got my dress it was so beautiful I had to get it and I found it at oasis.

I know what you guys are thinking........"why didnt you just go to Asos?" Well I eventually did and found my dress there too.

here is a quick snap shot of my dress!

Oasis Broderie Bandeau Dress

Stunning isn't it I had so muxh fun in this dress, I had other dresses too but one of the weddings I went too was really good because most of my own firends were there so I wanted to look my best. 


On a another note I sometimes get asked what my style is and how i would dress if I didn't wear the head scarf.

My style is very dressy, chic classic and sometimes edgy I hate boring classic so here are a few dresses if I had more weddings to go too lol or any girl only occasion:

I love this dress elegant and feminine :)

I love this dress its very sexy and flattering on curves!

The next outfit is typical summer day outfit that I would wear to see a few friends bare in mind I do not go out like this only at weddings or occasions where there will be no men :) this outfit is a little edgy without being too weird.


Loveeeeee.............xxxxxx

I would then pair it with this lovely bag:

Modalu Bristol Grab Handbag, Black Croc
 
and to finish I would slip on my amazing Aldo Monin Caged Heels:

I hope you guys enjoyed this post about my style I might do more of these in the future .

P.S Ramadan Mubarak to everyone!

maxi dresses!


Its August and the summer will soon be over, especially in London since its been ages since I saw any sun
but I know that despite the short sunny periods I wore alot of maxi dresses and I have to say they are the most versitile way of keeping cool and on trend .

I saw alot of the celebs sporting them, no to mention them popping up in the magazines and fashion blogs. And although I find them to be a staple in the summer since I can't wear shorts and mini's.

To be honest im not really ready to ut them away for the coming seasons so I decided to play a little and create 2 outfits that could transit from summer into Auntumn and Winter.

One thing you could do is to wear leggings underneath the dress to keep you warm plus I think that they really give that feminine touch to a girl, but if your more of a rocker chic then you could style your maxi dress with a leather jacket and some studded boots!

let me know your ideas for dressing up or down a maxi dress!

A new discovery...

So one day I was very tired, and I really could not be botherd to go to the bathroom sink and wash my make up off, so as I was on my mums bed I looked over her bed and found some rather appealing wipes!



Tada!! Simple have their own baby wipes so I thought to test it out on my face and I am happy to report that the quality of wipe is very good, thick but not harsh on the skin.

The value for money is good too they cost about £2 and you get 56 wipes and if you wear makeup everyday or you use it prior to another remover it could save you alot of money, since MAC wipes cost about £12 a pack (not the cheapest make up item).

The actual removal of the makeup is very comparable to MAC and I have to say I will be topping up on this product instead of using my baby sister's ones :)

NOTE: PAMPERS BABY WIPES ARE REALLY HARSH ON ME AND LEAVE A GREASY RESIDUE DO NOT USE  :)

Has anyone tried baby wipes to remove their makeup?

Kim Kardashian Illumafill beauty fusion makeup look


Hey everyone I am so excited to post this because I fell in love with this look on Kim so I had to do it. You will see that I am using a lot of layers but that's because the make-up will last longer on especially If you're going to wear it all night like at a wedding and I have been at so many weddings these past 2 months and found this way good in keeping the eyeshadows still as good as the start.

To know how to get this look click here.
 

Products mentioned:
  • Smashbox Photofinish lid primer
  • MAC paint pot in Quite Natural
  • MAC eye kohl in Teddy
  • Bodyshop Shimmer cubes pallett in 06 (darkest shade)
  • Bare Minerals eyeshadow in Golden earth
  • L'oreal eyeshadow in Rose gold
  • Rimmel Liquid liner 
  • MAC eye kohl in Feline
  • Maxfactor lash extension mascara

I have been waiting to get my hands on this collection since Temptalia posted a preview on her website, I didn't get much from the collection and mainly because these days I don't want to splurge since I already got other items from MAC but the MSF's are something I really wanted. I have been longing to try MSF's and here was my chance and I love them A LOT!

Here are some photos and swatches enjoy:

L'occitan Haul

I am very excited for this haul actually, mainly because I love L'occtitan there products are so good they work well and they are kind of natural.

I have filmed a video on this and this a post to accompany the video and what I got was:


Lait Corporel (DRy skin Body lotion)
2 x Huil De Douche Shower Oil in Alomond
Huil De Douch Shower Oil in Grape YUMM!
Creme mains Dry skin Hand cream
Shampooing Shampoo and Conditioner
Gel Douche Vetyver Showering gel (for me daddy and bro's)
And the Extra Foaming Bubble Bath

Can I just say even though they like to lable eveything in french (since they are a french company) they don't give their products difficult names and always put it in english too which is good :)

I love L'occitan, its like luxury in bottles lol,

Has anybody tired L'occitan before?

Accessory of the day AOTD

 The detailing on these is just amazing!

So I have been inspired by the summer and all the joy that comes with it, and its given me makeup ideas too, but what really is giving that summer feeling and a bit of glam are these cute Bow earings. I got them from Accessorize and they go with almost every outfit and even though I wear a headscarf, when people come over or I go to someone's house everbody loves them I don't know if they still have them instore but these little dainty babies are just so adorable.

A new discovery...

About 2 years ago I bought these pumps from Rocket Dog at Next (btw I love next don't judge the brand by their shop) and I actually could not fit in them I am a size 6 UK and so are these but I wasn't sure if it was me or the shoes so I just stuffed them in my wardrobe and forgot about them.



Then one day when I was doing my BIG Spring Summer clear out and I found them again and decided to give them a try around the house since I only ever wear shoes that I am unsure about on carpet incase I give them away or sell them. Usually I don't go for these type of shoes because my style is more girly but these are so pretty  but with an edge. ( I love the cute gems, little deer and mushroom thingy)



So I walked around the house for about an hour as I though I would break into them further the result was some pain inmy big toe but I feel like they are too pretty to give away or sell I love them they are great for casual days without looking like your lazy with your clothes so I guess I will be keeping them :)

Has anybody else made a new discovery from their past?
