“Kimono” Spring/Autumn Trend?!

52288486-03

Hello everyone!

Today I’ve got a post just in time for the spring time (sort of) for you guys in the northern hemisphere! It’s about the kimono trend, which is a sort of sheer cardigan that you can easily throw over your tops to give you some protection from the wind – perfect for the beach or a day out. This could also be perfect for those of you in autumn now (such as myself) on those days where it’s not freezing but not scorching hot. I think this trend is elegant, beautiful and definitely a must have fashion piece!

“Fringe” Clothing + Bags/Accessories Trend?!

screenshot011

Hello guys!

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a “trend” post so I have got one here for you today. This trend seems to have been popular last year and is coming back again this year, especially for spring. I’ve got some photos of fringe clothing and accessories (bags) to show you guys and hopefully give you some inspiration for the next time you go shopping! My opinion on this trend initially was “eh” but as I keep seeing people sporting it, I think it actually look quite cute with the exception of some cardigans and kimonos with the fringe on them… they sometimes look like rugs to me! I’m not too fond on how they look on bags either – I’d prefer a different style – however I love how they look on bikinis, scarfs and some tops.

Review: Tony Moly Egg Pore Blackhead Out Gel + Egg Pore Tightening Pack

tonymolyeggporeseriescollections1

Hi everyone,

So I’ve got a review for y’all on the Tony Moly Egg Pore Blackhead Out Gel & Egg Pore Tightening Pack which I know some of you were curious about, so here it is! I was in the city with my friends last holiday and walked past a stand up Korean cosmetics store and saw these being advertised. There was a deal going on for 3 for $40 which was deemed to be quite cheap – unfortunately they didn’t have the third egg in stock (the “Silky Smooth Balm”) so I wasn’t able to get my hands on that. I believe these are designed to be used as a three step procedure: the removal of blackheads, the sealing and then the ‘polishing’ off. Here’s a picture of how they look:

Featuring: Scarves & Accessories by Ima Picó

Hi guys!

So today I’ve got a post for y’all featuring an ETSY store which sells scarves and accessories by Ima Picó. Her work is utterly amazing, trendy and vibrant.

Here’s a statement by Ima:

You will find unique silk scarves for women and pocket squares for men and other handmade accessories such as necklaces, beaded bracelets, wrapped bangles, brooches, pin flowers and small decorating pillows all designed by me and printed on natural silk.

I accept customs orders, so have a look around and if you find something you like but prefer another size/color, please let me know and I might be able to help you.


On to her work!

I’ve picked to feature two of her scarves:

I feel this scarf would be perfect for autumn as it has cool colours which helps begin the transition into winter fashion. It still has pops of colours which avoids the feeling of a dull outfit.

cropped-makeup il_570xN.737670072_f5y1The second scarf I have chosen is this one; it’s vibrant and perfect for the transition into spring. The bright colours give a playful, joyous feel to the outfit – making it a somewhat statement piece. The colours on this scarf screams out spring!

il_570xN.658894863_qx15 il_570xN.658894909_3eg0Now onto the accessories:

This is a unique, subtle yet pretty necklace. The colours are not too vibrant, instead have a calm, sophisticated sense to them. This would be perfect to spice up an ordinary outfit in the spring or summer time.

il_570xN.714038076_lq0pThis bracelet is another amazing piece my Ima, it has quirky, bright colours similar to one of the scarves mentioned above. It would be a perfect duo piece or a stand alone piece to bring some colour and life into your outfit. It is also made out of silk, making it extremely comfortable to wear throughout your day.

Lastly, my favourite piece by Ima; her pillows!

I can’t express how adorable these are; they are full of colour and would look magnificent on your sofa or even on your bed. I think these are a really fun piece to have around the house and also give off a spring/summer time vibe. If you don’t like this one, she has many more to choose from!

il_570xN.700106964_afy8 il_570xN.700230635_bezyCheck out her store/connect with her:

Ima has also kindly provided us with a discount code for 20% off items in her store! Use this at the checkout in her ETSY store: BUYHANDMADE20.


Let me know your favourite piece from her store & your thoughts on her work!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit DUPE!

Hi guys,

Today’s post is about a dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. There’s a palette/kit called the AC On Tour Contour and Highlighting Kit by Australis and is basically identical (photos will be below) to the Anastasia kit. This year contouring has been hyped about a lot so I thought this post would be fitting. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to the Anastasia kit, this one retails for $16.95 in Australia at Priceline!

This is the Anastasia Contour Kit:

Contour-Kit

The Australis Countour Kit:

As you can see they’re basically identical in the packaging and product wise. I don’t actually own any of these so I can’t say how well they work in comparison to each other (although I am kicking myself for not buying the Australis kit during the 40% off cosmetics sale at Priceline 😦 ). However, I have heard great reviews about the Austrails one and I am sure it is worth checking it out if you want a cheaper alternative/a great contour kit which is affordable.

Hope you guys enjoyed this quick post and let me know your thoughts on the Australis contour kit if you’ve tried it and whether it is worth the hype.

“Knee/Thigh High Socks” Trend?!

Hi guys!

So I’ve seen quite a few people sporting the knee high socks look and it does look quite cute! At first I was skeptical as it reminded me of animes and manga (nothing wrong with that) which I thought was a bit odd. However as I began to see them styled, I realised that the trend is actually quite cute especially with a t-shirt dress or even shorts. I think that this trend may make your legs look shorter though (especially if you’re already short) which is not what you want! The knee high socks trend gives a very girly, playful look.


Here are some pics of girls styling it:

Although it’s a cute trend, I personally wouldn’t wear this out – it would be comfy at home during winter though! Let me know your thoughts on this trend & if you’d sport it.
