Alexander McQueen Scarves? Yes Please!

Long live McQueen and his iconic skull scarves! Seen on every celebrity and fashionista, these silk scarves can be incorporated into any outfit at any season. The skull print just adds the perfect touch of drama to any outfit. I've also seen these worn in the hair as a headband, super cute!





Relax, go shopping, and have an amazing day guys!

Versace RTW Spring 2010

Sexy cut-outs, flirty pastel colours, geometric patterns, and mini skirts. What's not to love about Versace's RTW Spring 2010 collection? I know it's not terribly recent, but I always have a moment looking back at it. While I'm not too fond of the prints, I absolutely love the mini skirts and dresses.

How amazing are these mini skirts? I especially love the metallic triangle one; it's definitely bold but paired up with a simple long sleeve, it's totally wearable and glamorous.


These mini dresses are so funky with their geometric prints! Love the recurring theme of the metallic triangles seen in Nastha's dress.



And last but not least, my definite favourites of this wonderful collection, the dresses!
How beautiful are these? I love the pastel colours, the hints of metallic and the sexy slits.



I'm telling you, pictures do not do these dresses justice! The sides of this dress are very low cut and more of those metallic triangles decorated the daring slits.


This has to be one of my favourite dresses I have ever seen, and I've oogled over a lot. Again, pictures do not do it justice. The back is low cut, there are side cut-outs, a huge slit for some sexy leg, and all while being adorned more with those darn metallic triangles that I love! I can't explain it, but something just really draws me to this dress. Perhaps how smooth and silky it looks, and the arrangement of the triangles is unique and pretty, but not distracting. It's one of those dresses I will wistfully dream of wearing to prom but sadly won't happen.

Just Fine!

One of my favourite songs to get ready to is Mary J Blige's, Just Fine. It's perfect to blast when you need a pick me up because it's so uplifting. For me, this optimizes getting ready to go out on a Friday night. Just take a look at some of the lyrics! How could you not feel happy when listening to this amazing song?

It's been a long week I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right

No time for moping around, are you kidding,
and no time for negative vibes cus I'm winning

And I'm a still wear a smile when it's raining
I got to enjoy myself regardless
I appreciate life, I'm so glad I got mine

You see, I won't change my life, my life's just fine

Check it out guys, it'll instantly put you in a better mood :)

All Was Well

In honour of my most favourite series, Harry Potter and how it has come to an end, here's a post dedicated to one of my favourite characters, Hermione Granger. Portrayed by the beautiful Emma Watson, she proves that it is definitely possible to be both smart and beautiful. She's landed a couple of major ads for Burberry and People Tree and managed to juggle her famous life while studying at an Ivy League school. Not to mention that she can totally rock a pixie cut that shows off her gorgeous facial structure. One of my favourite looks from her was the premier for the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.


I'm in love with the lace, the feathers and how it's see through but still classy. It's definitely different than what Emma would usually wear and I love it!
Her makeup is not over done, and her pixie cut is just so cute! Not a lot of women can pull off hair that short and make it look so beautiful.



Ouff, how gorgeous is this Oscar de la Renta dress for the London premier of Deathly Hallows Part 2?
Even though the tulle gown was huge, it did not overwhelm her and it was in the loveliest shade of grey.



Usually matching your eyeshadow to your outfit would totally clash but her smokey grey eyes just..work! The added gold liner is so subtle but pulls it all together. Not to mention I love how her hair has grown in.

Brb while I mourn over the end of this amazing series!

Love The Way You..Look!

Oh Rihanna, even though I can't stand her music, I adore her style, especially her piercings and tattoos. Having 7 piercings myself, she totally makes me want to get my tragus pierced because her stud is so subtle and precious.

I'm in LOVE with her all earrings, they are something I would totally wear.

I NEED these wing earrings in my life. Seriously, she has the best jewerly.


Taking some classic pearls to a whole new level of sexiness


All in all, I find her to be a risk taker with her style. It's sexy, edgy, and most of all, never boring.

Model Crush of the Moment!

Standing at 5'9 with stunning grey/blue alienesque eyes, perfectly chiseled cheekbones, and a lithe ballerina body, Anna Selezneva, a Russian native is definitely one of mine and the industry's favourites. Discovered only about 4 years ago, she quickly rose to the top in the fashion indsutry, landing numerous covers, walking for Chanel, Dior, Valentino, Balmain, the list goes on. She was even declared as one of the top 30 models of the 2000's. Oh and have I mentioned that she has the cutest Russian accent?! She seems so kind and funny in her interviews as well.

Her look is so versatile, from sweet,
(btw how adorable does she look in this hoodie? so casual but still stunning!)

to sexy


Here are some more pictures of this beautiful babe;




One of my favourite looks from Balmain, oh man that jacket..





She comes oh so close to being my favourite Russian model, second to Natasha Poly of course ;) I'll have a post about her later, so until then, thanks for reading and take care loves!
