bottom – bimba & lola
lips – ysl rouge pur 19

the two tkmaxx finds were genuinely found in my local tkmaxx store. i was so happy to find these for less than £20! it’s just pot luck i guess when it comes to tkmaxx but they do have some really good things if you look hard. bimba & lola is a boutique that’s quite new to london which comes from spain. they do some really unique prints especially on scarfs.

icy cool polishes by nails inc.

20131203-135501.jpg

icy cool finger tips are so elegant this season. we all love the rich, dark shades for a/w but nails inc. have got it on point with these cool tones of nail polishes.
these dusty pale tones are quite opaque, with two coats it gives a solid colour.
i’ve teamed them up with some classic feminine perfumes which just never go out of style in my opinion…

nail polishes – nails inc. – gel effect polish in pink, south bank, sheraton street, george street.
perfume – atkinsons fashion decrees,
argent provocateur, chanel no.19, jean paul gaultier classic.

time for a hairstyle change…

my inspiration…… carine roitfeld

percy & reed – texturising spray and finishing polish

i’ve been inspired by the ever so cool carine roitfeld, the editor of french vogue. i recently watched the documentary “mademoiselle c” which was where my inspiration came from, in other words, i wanna look like her!
At 59 years old, she oozes sexiness in such a classy way, nothing is garish and she is the epitome of french chic.
so, i got on the phone to my good friend natsue who happens to be an amazing hairdresser as well as an amazing person and booked myself in for a hair cut. my last inspiration for a hairstyle change was carrie bradshaw (satc) when she cropped her hair shorter in a messy bob. she’s another style icon who i think has natural sex appeal, gosh i sound like a pervert…:s
i’ve used percy & reed’s texturising spray which is fantastic to create a bed head look! it’s a bit too good so i advise to use it sparingly on damp hair and then blast dry your hair, styling with the finishing polish to separate the ends! quick and simple!

a must watch film – mademoiselle c
