2010 Fall/Winter Trend: Faux Fur

Many designers have been rocking the fur look on the runways for their Fall & Winter collections this year. Ranging from head-to-toe looks to fur vests, scarfs, hats, shoes or bits of fur trim; it definitely seems to be a fall/winter MUST have! 

While not all of the designers opted for fake, luckily there are plenty of fabulous faux fur pieces in stores this season :) I myself couldn't resist the trend when I spotted this cute faux fur vest from H&M over the weekend! 

It's warm and cuddly, while still animal friendly and can look glamourous or casual.

What do you think of the Faux Fur trend? To be honest I never really thought it was me, but now I ♥ it!

Going Green..

Hi lovelies,
I hope you are all having a fabulous week? I am in a great mood because I finally heard back regarding a job interview in London! They confirmed a time which means I will be going back to London in early October for an interview, its all looking very promising, yippee yah yay!

So today I went green.....(MakeUp wise then haha).
Therefore sharing a quick green ETOD look:

♥ Eyes:
Urban Decay Mildew e/s (all over lid)
MAC Wedge e/s (crease & lower lash line)
Urban Decay Maui Wowie (tear duct)
MAC Dazzlelight e/s (brow bone high light)
MAC Fluidline in blacktrack (upper lash line)
Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara

To finish off today's post; a quick self portrait shot showing off my hairdo.

All I did was twisting the top of my hair (on each side) braiding it and then pinning it back. Like?

"Flushed" Cheeks

One of my favourite shops in London is Topshop. The one on Oxford Street is just SO massive, you could get lost in there....(actually I think I did almost get lost! haha) Beside clothes they have an amazing range of shoes, accessories, jewellery and since not that long also MakeUp! I had read a few reviews on their products, so I was excited to try out some Topshop MakeUp myself. 
I ended up buying a cream blusher, called "Flush"

What Topshop says: "Lightweight cream to powder blush that melts into the skin giving a natural luminous, radiant finish" 

Flush is a pretty rose pink with a slight coral undertone. It looks very bright in the pan but I feel its a lovely soft shade of pink when blended onto the cheek, giving you that "flushed" cheeks look. The blush has great pigmentation, lasts really long and it it applies from a cream to a soft powdery finish. All I do really is dot it onto my cheeks and blend! Plus it can also be worn as a lipstick/stain.  I say for £6 it's a bargain!

Swatched on my hand in natural light. Left: not blended. Right: Blended

Btw I ♥ the packaging - the dots are too cute!
