Recent Recommendations

As I have mentioned several times, my other blog got deleted but I had made some recommendations for a couple of products/brands that I thought might be useful to re-blog for you. I can't put pics up again as I deleted them off my laptop after I'd posted, naively thinking I would not need them again!

So, I'd mentioned my new Michael Kors watch - I love his accessories and can be viewed at http://www.michaelkors.com/

I'd also posted about a bracelet Mac had given me for xmas from HultQuist Copenhagen, which is gorgeous. You can check out their catalogue at http://www.hultquist-copenhagen.com/

Beaute is a new cosmetics brand by Beau Nelson which has recently been launched in Canada and the US. I am currently coveting the 'weightless lip creme' so if anyone knows where I can get my grubby mitts on them, please email me! http://www.beaute-cosmetics.com/

As mentioned in the 'nails nails nails...' post, the 'Brights' look was achieved using the Acid Palette by Sleek Make-up. I spotted these palettes in Superdrug months ago but figured they wouldn't be worth the money. However after watching several Pixiwoo vids where they were used and after my friend Lisa buying one, I was convinced to give them a go. I picked up the 'Acid' and 'Sunset' palettes at less than £5 each and I have to agree - they're fabulous! The colours are amazing, they don't have that much fall-out and they blend like a dream. So definitely check them out. You can pick them up in Superdrug or go to http://www.sleekmakeup.com/

Also check out Pixiwoo at http://www.fashionface.tv/ where you'll find heaps of tutorials on make-up application, trends and looks.

Finally, and I'm not going to say much but Mister Mascara lashes are brilliant. All of the pics below feature me (except the Gwen pics) wearing MM lashes and they are simply superb. You can get 2 pairs for £9.50 in boots or go to http://www.boots.com/

Enjoy! A xx

You'll be getting no more coffee made by me.

Craving a fashion fix this morning, our summer has been a joke so I'm happily planning my winter wardrobe. I got another new job and even though I am sad that I won't be spending my days with my friend Wayne at the bar I've been working in, I won't be sad to say farewell to all the people who are too good to even mutter a please or thank you. Some days I leave that place feeling like Cinderella. See ya mop. See ya fine misting of hot frothed milk.

I can't wait to have another wardrobe purge. Now I can give all my coffee making outfits to charity, and invest in a few things to complete my new capsule style wardrobe. I'm going to put all my clothes into outfits and just get rid of the random items that don't go. Maybe I'll Ebay the good stuff. Maybe I'll do a post called what were you thinking! Sometimes when I go shopping I get swept away with the vision of a situation that requires certain clothes even if I may never be in said situation. These are the pitfalls of a fabulous imagination. But I did pull off peruvian goat herder chic quite well. So it's not all bad.

Anyway, I have been seeking my inspiration from my two favorite Fall 2008 collections Michael Kors and Marni. I love the Marni (below) colour-ways and the vintage style and cut of the Michael Kors collection (above)

For more Autumn fashion inspiration there are tons more runway shows Over here at Elle Have fun.
