Love the Look!: Girl Next Door Makeup!

It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Whitney Port! She seems like such a lovely, down-to-earth, fashionable girl that anyone would want to be friends with! Her makeup in the picture above is the perfect look for a natural, girl next door, 'I'm pretty and I didn't even try' look. Guys are sure to like this enhancing yet natural makeup on you!
Tips for the look:

• Eyes: Whitney has a deep peach colour blended on her lids, with a thin to thick line of black liquid eyeliner and one or two coats of black mascara. If you want to go for an even more natural look, use a dark brown liquid liner & mascara instead.
• Eyebrows: Since you are going for quite a natural look you want to make sure your eyebrows are groomed and neat, in order to do so use a brow gel or brush to comb in place and fill in sparse areas with a brow pencil. When filling in your eyebrows always use a pencil that is a one or two shades lighter than your hair color. For example, I have black hair so I use a medium-brown.
• Cheeks: Whitney has a deep peach-pink on to accentuate her cheekbones and give her a blushing look.
• Lips: Finish off the look with a deep pink lipgloss and voila!

Love the Look!: Bronze Smoke & Red Lips!

This is a pairing of my two favourite beauty looks; soft bronze smokey eyes and red lips! The models in the picture look gorgeous thanks to their soft, sultry eyes and vixen red pout!
Tips for the look:

• Eyes: Since you are going for red lips, it's recommended to keep the eye makeup soft. Doing it this way allows your eyes to look smokey and sultry and compliment your red lipstick, rather than look like you are wearing too much makeup. To achieve this, simply apply bronze eyeshadow to the eyelids and underneath the lower lashline then blend, blend, blend!
• Skin: Dewey skin is key, apply a tinted moisturiser or dewey foundation
• Lips: Line lips with a red pencil in order to have a clean shape and fill them in, by filling in your lips with a lip-liner allows your lipstick to last longer. Apply lipstick on top and voila!

Outfit of the Day!: Military Floral with a Boho Twist!

I wore a floral ruffled above the knee dress, black tights and tall black boots (which will be featured in an upcoming outfit of the day post). On top I had a military-esque khaki green shirt, I rolled up the sleeves and tied it at the waist to accentuate it. Next for jewellery I wanted to add a boho feel so I stacked on some bracelets (a brown tied rope bracelet, & wisdom beads) & stuck with a gold color scheme when I layered necklaces. The important thing when layering necklaces is you want to make sure that they are different lengths, as in the picture you can see I have on a short, medium and long one, so they compliment eachother.

Style Love!: Loving the Leather!

Ahh the leather jacket- perfect for adding an edge, and it is so versatile it can be worn from day to night. I love the leather jacket, it's one of those timeless pieces that can go with pretty much everything. It's starting to get chilly where I am so I will definetly be wearing this during fall and winter. Kim Kardashian is one of my fashion idols, she definetly knows how to choose fashionable and gorgeous clothing that flatters and accentuates! The above picture is a perfect example of an edgy night look- with her bombshell tousled waves, dramatic eye makeup, leather jacket and statement necklace, white tee paired with distressed jeans and heels! It's definetly a "I'm cool, and I didn't even try" look!

Althought I can't afford it, being a huge fan of Nicole Richie's style, naturally I love her jewellery line- House of Harlow 1960! I think the name is original and fashionable and the jewellery exudes boho chic! If you are a big fan of her style, more posts on Nicole's enviable boho style will be coming soon!

Love the Look!: Smokey Eyes & Tousled Waves!

Nina Dobrev & Kayla Ewell's looks are perfect for a night out! With their tousled waves and smokey eyes, they look gorgeous! For tips for the look, look below.
Tips for the look:

• Eyes: Nina (on the left) has a bronze/brown smokey eye going on, so just take a dark brown eyeshadow and apply to the lid, then add a bronze eyeshadow on top of that then blend blend blend. Kayla (on the right) has a navy smokey eye, simply apply a navy eyeshadow to the lids and very close to the lashline underneath your eye, and blend it all out.
• Cheeks: Both girls have a peach blush on to accentuate their cheekbones, so to do this take a peach blush, a blush brush and lightly sweep it on your cheekbones.
• Lips: Nina's got on a light reddish pink shade of lipstick while Kayla is wearing a peachy pink one.
• Hair: Wrap hair small sections of hair around the outside of the barell to give big loose waves, use your fingers to lightly loosen them up if too tight, spritz with hairspray and voila!

Style Love!: Boho Chic Maxis!

I love Nicole Richie's style, especially when she rocks a boho maxi! I love how she has fun with the style of maxis she chooses, from bold and colourful to flowing and summery! By pairing a maxi dress with boho accesories like the necklace or upper arm bracelet Nicole's wearing above, you can emulate the effortless bohemian style. You can also add a leather jacket to edge it up, which will keep you warm for those colder times.

I just love love Nicole Richie's style and Boho Chic Maxis!

Love the Look!: Smokey Bronze with the Olsens!

The Olsen sisters in the picture look gorgeous; & it's their soft natural bronze-brown smokey eye that takes centre stage! This is one of my favourite looks to do! It's super easy to do, so if you are interested look at the tips for the look below!

How to get the look:

• Face: To get the Olsen glow, use a tinted moisturiser and brush on a bit of peach blush
• Eyebrows: It is important to fill in and use a brow gel on your eyebrows
• Eyes: Simply put on a light bronze eyeshadow on your lid and underneath your lower lashline, then blend. Take a darker brown or bronze and use in the crease, blend the colours together to get that soft smoky look. Since you are using bronze shades, it's important to use a highlight colour on your browbone. Then put on a few coats of your favourite mascara!
• Lips: Dab on a nude peachy lipstick, add gloss then voila!

Style Love!: 2011 Met Costume Gala!

I love the Met Costume Gala which is held each year. I'm always curious to see what the celebs will wear! This year my favourites were;

Bar Refaeli is wearing a mixed metal dress which I absolutely love! It has a kind of glam tribal feel to it. Also the turquoise earrings makes the outfit go from gorgeous to stunning!

Jessica Szohr is wearing a fun and edgy dress which I think is gorgeous but I'm not really a big fan of the shoes, sorry!

 Salma Hayek's dress epitomises everything that is romantic glamour, so so pretty!

Nicole Richie's dress exudes vintage glamour, I love love the cut-outs on the arms!

Kate Hudson glows in this metallic cream dress with sparkling detail, I think it's so pretty because it makes her look all glowy and plus what a great dress to wear, when you're pregnant or not! Not sure about the thing in her hair though, what do you ladies think?

Love the Look!: Hot Pink Lips!

What do you girls say, do or don't? I personally think do! I think it can look fun, edgy & sweet if done correctly, so if you want to try this daring look please take a peek at the tips for the look.

Tips for the look:

• Make sure to whiten your teeth beforehand, some shades of hot pink tend to make teeth look yellow.
• Choose a hot pink that has a blue undertone, as it will help make your teeth look whiter!
• Since your lips will be taking center stage, keep eye makeup to a minimum. Katerina did wear black eyeliner but only in her waterline and top lashes (for a defined but not over-the top look), and used neutral eyeshadows such as beige and brown.
