Dior Velvet eyes

It's no secret that cats eye inspired liner is in this season as it's been seen popping up on runways all around the world recently. It's also no secret that as amazing as liquid eyeliner looks, it's a PAIN to put on. Seriously, the amount of time that I've ended up with black smudges all over my face is appalling!

So when I discovered Dior's Velvet Eyes I became very, very excited. These things look flippin' amazing! Basically it's a pack of beautiful imitation liquid eye liner cats eyes that you glue onto your eye lids with the same sort of glue that you'd use to put on fake lashes. Imagine how much time these babies would save you! I suppose the time you'd save would be sort of evened out by the money you'd spend buying these gems... but still! Love them!

Traveling

Travel is on my mind right now as I am in the process of deciding if I want to postpone Uni a bit and go traveling for five months. I know what you're thinking, why wouldn't I go! And to be honest I have no idea why I even have to think about it!

If these beautiful images don't convince me, then nothing will! I found these beauties on Travel This World - a tumblr where people can submit their most impressive travel photos. Seriously, go check it out. You will not be disappointed!

Behind the scenes at todays shoot

I did a great wee shoot today with the beautiful Rosie Stantiall and the very talented Ann Li. The weather was typically Wellington - Gail force winds and cloudy. However it actually seemed to work well with the styling (thank goodness!). I had a heck of a time trying to keep Rosie's hair and head accessories in tact! Seriously, the amount of times that the headband in the first picture flew off is more than I can count! Oh well, I suppose when you live in Wellington you can't expect any less! I will post photos from this shoot soon.

Carven Spring 2012

Three of my faves from Carven Spring 2012. I'm loving the clashing patterns, bright colours and the shoes! Why is it that whenever I see a collection I always look at the shoes? ha ha. I have issues man.

I pretty much want the entire second look in my wardrobe! It's times like this that I wish I had lots and lots of money. Ahhhh!

Sophie Aniek

Just finished picking up all of these amazing Sophie Aniek pieces and more! Unfortunately i don't get to keep them, as I only have them on loan for a shoot early next week. It's exciting however having all of these lovely garments at my house! I seriously wish I could just wear them all! Self control is key here. Ahhhh!

Floral hair wreathes

I am absolutely in love with cute floral hair wreathes at the moment! I wore one to a ball last year and have been absolutely stuck on them ever since. I came across these photos on She Got Her Own and fell in loveeee. Try wearing a pretty floral hair wreath to a summer picnic or with your favourite party dress to add that little something extra.

I'm a big fan of ones with real flowers, however you can get good looking fake ones for reasonably cheap. I actually made my own out of some fake flowers I found at a dollar store. Search youtube for ideas and tutorials, and get in there before everybody else!

Pretty!

Sorry I've been so absent for the past few days! I've been down South at a wedding, staying in a place with no Internet! Grrr. I found these photo's on tumblr the other day and fell in loveee. So pretty. Makes me want to take up photography for sure.

Yummy!

Ahh, summer! love the look of this cocktail so much. It's so summery and yummy! I'm not a big drinker to be honest, however I do enjoy the occasional cocktail on a hot summers day. I stumbled across this recipe this morning and became very excited indeed. I will definitely be cracking this one out if summer ever decides to hurry up and come! The recipe on the picture has come up a little small so here it is in case you can't read it. Enjoy!

Ambit SS 11/12

There's something about this collection that just makes me so, so happy! It could be the beautiful simplistic style, or possibly those amazing grey shorts! Whatever it is, I just love it. I only wish that there was more to this collection from the young New York based label. For more of Ambit see here. I have a feeling we will be seeing more goodness from this young label in the near future.
