FOTD ...

Friday, 14 October 2011

Hey guys,

Hectic week this week - very exhausting! At last the weekend is upon us :)

Exciting plans this weekend - Who's going to TOWIB tomorrow? Hit me up yeah so we can hang out! Eeeee :)

Thought I'd share a quick FOTD that i put together recently (as seen in this post) ...





It was probably a bit fancy for a day in the office but i was feeling experimental that morning and had a spare 10 minutes before having to leave the house, so why not, eh!?

Do you guys dress up for work or experiment with outifts/make-up? I'd love to hear your thoughts ...

Celeb Style Stealer: Cameron Diaz FOTD

Sunday, 9 October 2011

Hey dolls,

Today i thought I'd try something new and recreate a celeb make-up look. I picked out a few celebrities who i admire and decided to have a play around ... there's so many i want to try I'm thinking this could become a mini-series on The Notebook!

I opted for Cameron Diaz as she always looks effortlessly beautiful and has a 'barely-there' make-up look which is quite different from my usual style.

Cameron Diaz:


My version:





I used:

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation - 021 Nude
A pale pink Primark blusher mixed with Benefit's High Beam
MaxFactor's False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara - Black
17 Lipstick - Red (it's super old and they've changed the packaging since so I'm not sure what style it is I'm afraid) and a slick of clear gloss

I really like this look as it's simple and looks effortless - i do feel rather naked without my trusty kohl eyeliner though!!

What do you think of this Cameron Diaz inspired look? Is it a keeper?

RAK Goodies ...

Thursday, 6 October 2011

A few months ago i was sitting in front of my laptop, scratching my head wondering just what the hell RAK meant!? (Random Act of Kindness in case you are still in the dark!)

Lots of other Blogger's were chattering about receiving their goodies and taking part and, never one to miss out on goodies, i went on a mission to join in!

My beautiful blogging buddy Leanne from A Slice of My Life decided to host her own RAK and asked us all to comment on her post answering a few simple questions and she then set to work on pairing us all up!

I was paired with the gorgeous Rachel from A Pretty Obsession. Rachel received her goodies i sent on Monday which you can sneak-a-peek at here. I received a 'While you were out ...' card from my Postie on Tuesday ...

After a busy couple of days at work i finally made it to the Post Office and i tell you now this little package totally made my day week!


... look what i got!! ...






... Spoilt much?! ...

I love all of my goodies and am so excited to wear them ... i stay at the bf's on the weekends and have coordinated all my outfits this weekend so i can wear these accessories :)

I literally cant wait to use the purse and scarf ... i wear scarfs and wraps all through the winter as my office is pretty darn cold!

I will be posting some OOTD's very soon, i  promise!


Has anyone else got their RAK goodies yet? Link me so i can see what y'all got :)
