The Edit: Autumn/Winter 2013 Fashion Week Beauty Looks

I had a great time seeing the makeup artistry on the runways this season, and I’ve put together some of my favourite looks from Style.com here. Hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

Chanel

For the A/W 2013 runway, Peter Philips wanted makeup that would be beautiful close up and equally as eye catching from a distance. The silver sequins/jumbo glitter, which were placed from the inner corner of the eyes and extended outwards is makeup art perfection, and I can imagine the extra sequins placed on the model’s lashes would have caught the lights beautifully on the runway as they moved their eyes.

Thakoon

Dianne Kendal created an amazing dimensional smoky eye that brings to mind stars in the night sky. She layered 3 different types of glitter on top of NARS Outremer and the yet to be released NARS Solomon Islands Eye Paint to achieve the dazzling effect. Ah-mazing.

Hello everyone!

It’s warming up here in Melbourne, and looks like Spring has truly started. I’m really enjoying the longer daylight hours and the fact that I don’t have to wear a coat in the mornings when I’m travelling to work.

On the international runways for Fashion Week Spring /Summer 2013 has been very exciting indeed. Some inspirational beauty looks and great ideas to kick off the holiday season coming up. Here are some of my favourite picks from Milan, New York, and Paris.

Ooh, another thing: Victorians- don’t forget it’s Daylight Savings this Sunday!

OOTD vlog on youtube ‘What I’m Wearing This Week’

0 comments

Hello!

I youtubed again- this time I ventured out of my normal beauty blogging comfort zone and did an outfit vlog, for better or worse! I had fun making this video and I think I’ll continue to do these ‘OOTD’ posts, it seems to be an appropriate outlet for squee-ing about clothing purchases (I don’t tend to do this in real life).

Feedback appreciated!

BLOG SALE part 2: clothing

0 comments

Hello!

This is the clothing part of my (pretty gigantic) blog sale. I think I’m getting a bit addicted to purging/streamlining my stash, so I’ll be posting up jewellery sale items soonish (part 3, dear lord).

The majority of the items listed here are almost new- and have been sitting in my closet because they are too big (ah the perils of online shopping). I do take in/up a lot of clothes, but things that are too big around the shoulders I can’t do anything about. Some items I just own and never wear. Either way- I need good homes for these clothes!

Everything is clean, but some items are not ironed (I’ve been ~~lazy~~ ahem blogging)

To give you a reference point for these clothes- I’m a shorty at 156cm, and generally a size 6-8. These clothes vary from a size 6- size 12ish.
