Je Suis une Rock Star

It's Friday! Whoop-de-doo!! This means:
1) it is almost the weekend
2) it is casual Friday dress-code at work.
I have had quite a few requests from people to share more OOTD's on my blog but I feel my daily outfits aren't really share worthy! My job requires me to wear corporate attire so most days I am in professional suits. As boring as it may sounds I actually really love wearing suits. Why? They make me feel powerful ;) and it makes choosing what to wear that little bit easier. Getting ready in the morning would probably take me a lot longer if had to pick some awesome fashionable outfit everyday haha :)

So today being a Friday, I thought I would share my OOTD  
"Je Suis une Rock Star"! 
Tee: Love Chile (I got this t-shirt of the designer Faye when I met her in Sydney! She is super lovely & talented, check out her blog also at Love Chile Style)
Blazer: Country Road
Black Skinny Jeans: Country Road
Earrings: Tiffany & Co

My FOTD:
♥ Cheeks:
NYX Angel Blush
MAC Vanilla Pigment (highlight)
♥ Eye:
MAC paint pot in Bare Study (base)
MAC Vanilla Pigment (inner to mid of lid & brow bone)
MAC Jest e/s (mid to outer corner of the lid)
MAC Crochet e/s (transition colour, blended on orbital bone)
MAC Scene e/s (crease & lower lash line)
MAC Smolder (waterline)
MAC Liquid Eyeliner (upper lash line)
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
♥ Lips:

MAC Angel Lipstick
MAC Lipgelee in Lilacrush


These photos were taken with flash - in real life  the look feels a lot softer and not AS sparkly! Just randomly chose these colours together this morning and really like the result :)

HHD & I love cupcakes>

Happy Hump Day Everyone! The sun was actually shining today which made me smile (after all the rain & even hail we've been having!) Isn't life sweet with a little bit of sunshine? :)
Life is also sweet with cupcakes in it!

2010 MTV Movie Awards

This weekend the 2010 MTV Movie Awards were held at the Universal Studios’ Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California. 
Thought I  would share my best & worst picks of the event!


Best
Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana. 
Gorgeous green lace dress and the hair & make up all looks perfect.
Paris Hilton in a feathered Blumarine dress. Think the outfit is OK but mainly picked her because think her makeup looks stunning! Love the bronze/plum smokey eye with nude lip. 
Whitney Port  in strapless yellow & grey Yigal Azrouel dress
Jessica Biel in Giambattista Valli. Two word: Super Cute. 
Plus her hair looks amazing!
Sandra Bullock in a long-sleeved Oday Shakar dress and Christian Louboutin heels. Love the low cut back! 
Gorgeous - GO SANDY! We ♥ you!

Worst
Lindsay Lohan in a Pamella Roland jumpsuit
We appreciate the trends Lindsay Lohan is trying to work: ombre, sparkle and jumpsuits. Just not all in the same outfit, please. Plus we all know she is wearing loose fitted pants to hide her SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet.. 
Katy Perry goes overboard on the red carpet with her electric blue wig &  a strategically sequined mini-dress
Christina Aguilera in Versace Atelier.
Bit OTT for my liking. It's funky - yes & it looks good on her but it's just  not something quite "my style".
Jersey Shore Cast.
Where to start…..? LOL

Bleh it's been SUCH a rainy weekend here in Wellington which is just sooo drab. But then again it's been good in a way to kick myself into gear to start packing for my big adventure. I can't believe I leave in about 3 weeks!
