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.

Typo is my new favourite shop by FAR. It's basically a stationary shop but it also sells other cute things for your home and decor. The best thing about it is that it's CHEAP. Seriously, I'm talking loose change cheap! Click here to browse Typo's online store. You will not be disappointed, trust me.

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!
