Kiss and Tell

My obsession with YSL's Rouge Pur Couture lipstick is increasing by the day, so I have now been wondering if I can still have dramatic eyes as well as lips. The advert for the lipstick shows the model with both dramatic eyes and lips, but is this too much for me, more to the point can I pull it off.

With all these highly important questions flying around in my head, I decided to search the web to find some new make-up ideas. I came across this image, which I love, so I thought I would share it. =]

The Lipstick For Heroines

I have always wanted to wear red lipstick, however with my ginger hair and fair skin, I never knew which colour would suit me best. There is always also that worry of wasting my money as well as having ridiculous looking lips. So i forgot about about the idea, stuck with my nudes and pink tones and that was that.
Then last week, whilst purchasing my face cream and foundation, the lovely sales woman at the Yves Saint Laurent counter suggested I try their new red lipstick. Since then I have never looked back. I love it, in fact when I am not wearing it, for instance when I'm at the gym, I feel naked, it's like my make-up is not complete without my Rouge Pur Couture. My new make-up bag must have!

Please Mind The Gap

After trying to reinvent their logo, Gap have scrapped it just one week after unveiling it. This was all down to the many critics tearing the reinvention apart on forums and social networking sites.

Personally I do not see what's wrong with the original logo of 20 years, it is an iconic logo known throughout the world, the failed attempt looked more like a logo for a marketing company rather than an American fashion brand.

Leave it be Gap!

Your Amazing, Just The Way You Are

Bruno Mars song lyrics have the ability to turn my frown upside down, and make me think that I would like to find my very own Bruno Mars, who likes me just the way I am =]
The majority of women, insecure or not, have the fantasy that they will one day find someone who will not care that they have cellulite, a bad complexion or not so pearly whites. So tell me has anyone found them yet, or do they actually exist, as i'm losing faith.

Brand New BHS

 As a student, I have found it very hard to find a job whilst at university, in fact for the two years that I have attended Huddersfield University, I have not had a single response from any of the many stores I handed my CV too.  So basically I have been living off my student loan and nothing else, well mummy and daddy too obviously =]
Before university I worked for Wallis, which wasn't a bad job, apart from the extremely rude customers that used to frequent the store.
I am now undertaking a placement year, and am currently working for the PR department of Karen Millen, I have fallen in love with most of their products really. The 5.30 alarm is the downside to this excellent opportunity, but hey ho beggars can't be choosers.
While my placement is on the verge of glamorous, my weekend job, which I now finally have is not so much. It seems Wallis could not live without me, so have taken me back, thank goodness. However we are now situated in BHS along with Dorothy Perkins and Burton.
I know what your thinking, BHS, why on earth are Wallis, Dotty P's and Burton in there? Well as you may or may not know they are all part of Arcadia and so is BHS.

A BHS store in Uxbridge had a huge refit, with a brand new concept, that has made it super modern. And thanks to Phillip Green the BHS store in Basildon, Essex is one of the lucky stores to get the refit.
I must say it's like working in a completely different place, so modern and inviting and it also has a cafe =]
It's not as glamorous as it should be just yet, as the other BHS employees and I are working in a lot of dust, but on the positive side there are some fairly good-looking builders, which is always nice when it's a quite day.
If you live near a newly refurbished BHS I suggest you go in and take a look you will not believe your hopefully dust free (if it's finished) eyes.

Over and Out

Exquisite Erdem

So I'm very behind blogging about the fabulous shows from the recent fashion weeks, however I am starting off with Erdem's spring/summer 2011 collection.
It seriously made me want to cry, I have fallen in love with every piece!

Here are a few of my favourites...

The show began with applique on white chiffon with white lace, this gave the show an air of romance and naivety, however it was not long before a more vibrant colour palette was used.

Beautiful embroidered floral prints, appeared throughout, keeping the feminine feeling to the collection.

Busy printed, tailored trousers and shorts were matched with floral blouses and shirts, and pretty ribbon tie shoes along with a more harsh lace shoe finished off the outfits perfectly.

Burlesque!

 

So what have Cher, Christina Aguilera and Kristin Bell all have in common? That's right they all star in the 2010 film Burlesque!

Anything including singing, dancing and Cher is a hit with me so I can not wait untill this comes out,17th December, being the UK release date according to IMDb.

Small town girl Ali (Christina Aguilera) heads to Los Angeles and finds herself working as a waitress in a burlesque club, she soon falls in love with the art of burlesque and from the trailer I think we can all gather that the club falls in love with Ali and her voice.

Sequins, glitter, heels and eye candy for both the ladies and men, this film in my opinion is going to be a huge hit and I can not wait to be front row with my popcorn =]
