Fab February: Chignon Tutorial

It's official! Paris Fashion Week has begun and just in time. Welcome to the final chapter of my Paris inspired makeup, fashion, and hair trilogy! Today's hair style: the chignon, is inspired by the above photo of Victoria Beckham. I know she is not French nor was this picture taken in Paris, but the chignon is an incredibly popular hair style and this is just my favourite one. Let's add a little spice to the Paris series (get it spice, as in Spice Girls...) Products Needed: -Heat Protectant - Curling Wand/Iron - Hair Ties - Bobby Pins - Hair Spray 1. Start with dry hair. You can wash your hair the night before or work with second day hair. If your hair feels a little greasy just add a little bit of dry shampoo to your roots. 2. Spray your hair with a heat protectant making sure to get all the way to the ends of the hair. 3. Loosely curl your hair using your curling wand or curling iron. Don't worry if you don't get every single piece because you are ...

What is Bloglovin and how do I use it?

  Some of you may have noticed that I recently joined a site called Bloglovin. I would just like to give a little bit of information on this website and what it means for my blog. Bloglovin is a free resource which brings all of your favourite blogs into one space/newsfeed. When you create a Bloglovin account you can see all of the blog’s you follows updates without having to go to all the separate urls. If you have a blog you can “claim” it on Bloglovin and then people will be able to follow it. When you update your blog you can choose to have it automatically update your social medias, for example mine is connected to my Twitter account. When you join Bloglovin you are not giving up the rights to your blog nor is it then sponsored by Bloglovin. This website is simply a positive way to promote your blog and be able to read other people’s blogs that have similarities to your own.  I see this as a great opportunity for anyone who, like me, is just starting out in...

Best Dressed at The Screen Actor's Guild Awards

Yay! It's another best dressed post. This past weekend was the Screen Actor's Guild Awards,and everyone looked stunning. Here are my favourite clothing picks from the red carpet: 1. Amy Adams. She looks amazing in this stunning shade of blue, and she is also definitely going on my fitness inspiration list. 2.Isla Fisher. I must say if she was channeling her inner Marilyn then she should do it more often. She looked stunning in her cream satin v-neck gown. It showed off her curves perfectly,as well as perfectly accented her hair. 3. Jared Leto. Not only can rock the long hair, but he can rock the red carpet looking sharp and sophisticated. 4. Lupita Nyong'o. Turquoise is definitely her colour. With matching eye makeup she gave a lesson on how to go matchy-matchy the right way. 5. Mayim Bialik. This by far the best lace overlay dress I have ever seen, with the lavendar and then black underlay, this is just perfection. And so is Mayim Bialik. Those are my top ...

Golden Globes Best Dressed Picks

Award Season is finally here! And starting off with the Golden Globes, here are my favourite outfits: 1. Reese Witherspoon. She is so cute! And one of my biggest fashion inspirations. 2. Kerry Washington. I cannot get over how gorgeous this lady is! 3. Amy Adams. I saw this colour combination a number of times on the Red Carpet... Not quite sure if I like it but she looks beautiful in it! 4. Not only is she amazing in Blue Jasmine , but she is amazing on the Red Carpet. 5. Melissa McCarthy. One of my favourite comedic actresses and a knockout on the Red Carpet. I hope you enjoyed these picks! I thought long and hard about them. I have had questions about best and worst dressed lists, but I would like to state that I only condone positive comments and for me worst dressed lists are not positive. They chose what they wore and, hopefully, they liked their pick, and that is all there is to it. This is all my own opinion and feel free to disagree. On t...

Makeup Storage and Organization

When I was in Bed, Bath, and Beyond the other day, I picked up a cosmetic organizer. It is from U.S Acrylic, and it is the large version with removable lipstick holder.  This is what it looks like as a whole, it has lots of different places to keep things, and it holds most standard size cosmetic palettes. First is the lip stick holder, which I put beside the organizer to create even more storage room. It holds 12 lip sticks, and so I have my favourite 12 arranged in order of preference.  The left side has 3 sections that get deeper as you go back. In the front section I keep some of my smaller eye shadow palettes, like my Mac, Tarte,  and Clinique. I also keep my Paint Pots here. In the section behind I keep all of my setting powders, bronzers, and blushers. In the final section is where I keep all of my foundations that I am not using. So I have my Mac Studio Tech and Studio Fix, etc. I also keep here my cream concealers, and liquid bronzer.  ...
