Inspire me

It is not magazines that inspire me to love fashion but it is the modern day and classic fashionistas that inspire me whilist choosing what to wear, or what make up to put on. Some days i feel like channeling audrey hepburn's make up in breakfast at tiffanys and other days i like to channel mischa barton from the oc or even occasionally ashley olsen.

These three people have a special place in my heart, for 3 reasons each.

Audrey- what more do i have to say, the classical beauty, and the represention of my favourite fashion era,the late 50's early 60's.

Mischa- After falling in love with the oc about a year ago, her character and her real life fashion are a real source of inspiration, slightly boho but glamorous and slightly preppy.

Ashley Olsen- i was madly obsessed with the olsen twins when i was younger who were truly my first real fashion inspiration. I'd watch each film or tv series that would come out, and strive to dress like them. My favourite was always ashley and even more so as she grew up. I have to say her recent looks are not my favourite but more so than her sisters hobo chic look.

These are some of my favourite pics for inspiration...

One day, during the holidays, i shall make an "inspire me" book, filled of pictures.

Make Up, Shake it up

Make up is a vital part of fashion in which it completes and finishes your look, its like signature scent, it improves your natural beauty. There are so many make up brands out there and great make up blogs, there is no excuse not to try it out.

There a few principles for getting your look down

1. A great foundation, you may have to try a few to find which is best for you ( make sure you test in natural light)

2. Mascara, Mascara, Mascara..... Even if you are running late, a slick of mascara can give you polished look.

3. Lipgloss, a glossy lip is this generations lipgloss, its fail safe with different shades and finishes from frosty to sheer, it's really a simple thing. The first commercially available lip gloss was Max Factor's X-Rated, launched in 1932 although was discontinued many years ago.

Here are a few pics of my eye make up, i was experimenting with eye shadows that i haven't really used before, Mac Jest and Clarins mono reflect in 12 ( forest).

I am thinking of getting Brown contacts as i think they will suit me better than my natural blue hazel colour. I always had brown eyes until about a few years ago, then overtime they changed.

What do you think?

You will be pleased to know that there will be a weekly beauty post as i feel this blog needs it, Make up is part of fashion and this blog is going to show it.
