2012 is here and you know what they say, great minds think alike. In a similar vein to Rachael’s exhibitionerama post I’ve been stockpiling Things To Look Forward To In 2012. Great name huh? Anyway, finally at the end of Jan here it is in all it’s glory… Part two, Art & Beauty is here.

This summer I’ve updated my makeup bag with some new purchases that have become essentials. I tend to the natural end of make-up, I’m not so interested in crazy colours, but more into looking like I’ve had a delicious 9 hours sleep, which is a rare occurance.
I don’t really wear foundation, but Aveda’s Inner Light tinted moisturiser is light enough to wear everyday and it has SPF. It’s non-greasy as well, so I can wear it and not get a sweaty mirror/forehead. Bonus. Benefit’s Porefessional is a bit of a miracle product, it’s a silicon based mattifier/pore refiner which gives an unreal soft focus glow to your skin.
To celebrate Cannes festival Stella Artois have created a film about mythical character ‘Jacques D’Azur’. A chance to revel in good old-fashioned glamour, the film sees them take a look at the scene on the French south coast in the ’60s and the legend surrounding this archetypal playboy figure.
Stella asked me to put together [...]
I knew I was going to get the black versions of these New Look lace-ups, especially after seeing Fur Coat in them a few weekends ago. I also went crazy and got the leopard print pair, maybe it was wearing my tie dye tights all days that gave me a little reckless feeling. They’re light [...]
I’ve spent a lot of time looking for party decoration inspiration for my birthday next week. Most of my attention has been focused at the Confetti System’s beautiful garlands, their colour schemes are just brilliant. Sherbet-y pastels mixed with sludgy neutrals and metallics is something everyone can get on board with and I think I [...]
I’m loving Topshop’s make up at the moment, it’s priced exactly cheap enough to be a lunchtime treat but not so cheap that it’s shit. Perfect medium, right? They’re also on the money with the colours, I bought the Parma Violets shade (left), and it’s sickeningly good. I also snapped up the Nutmeg cream blush, [...]
Fashion experts get my goat a little, I actually like people’s idiosyncrasies! When an old friend of mine asked to help find her some nice maternity clothes I couldn’t help but get a bit Gok Wan. When you’re cheggers your body is busy making a human so you don’t want to be faffing around, [...]
Topshop Unique’s LFW show was held at the old Eurostar terminal which gave it a Bum Bum Train surrealness, I was half expecting to be wheeled out of the show and into some other random scene, like a boxing ring or tea room. Loved all the ‘don’t wear heels’ tweets, it was a mere minutes [...]
London Fashion Week started today for me, as I had a full-on few days back at work after getting my wisdom teeth removed. I say full-on, I mean I went in doing my best impression of Casper the friendly ghost and left early to collapse into bed.
Daks was the refreshing morning hit my senses needed [...]
