Cheap and Cheerful...

 Miners Cosmetics is my new favourite affordable makeup brand. The cute packaging caught my eye first, it looked so different from anything else i've seen, and then I noticed the price.. So affordable! Miners Cosmetics take inspiration from the latest trends but makes it affordable to young women. The Miners website provides make up tutorials and an 'ask the expert' section but more importantly you can purchase the makeup online, like the more expensive brands. 

I bought the blusher stick 'the cheek of it'  and I love it! 

This blusher stick is so handy as you can carry it around with you without worrying about it falling apart like some powder blushes. You also don't need to worry about carrying around a blusher brush either. I was also assured that this blusher will last, all for only 5 euro! This stick also comes in a bronzer and a highlighter... 

My other favourite was the 'love phat liner' eye liner, how cute is the wooden pencil! I really liked this pencil, and don't worry about it being too big, if you keep the pencil sharp it will create a thin line that you can always build up yourself.. this was also around the 5 euro marker.. perfect :)

My other Miners purchase was the 'Lash Curl' mascara, unfortunately this product wasn't as good as the others for me. It gave a very natural lash look whereas, as a mascara addict, I prefer lots of volume and length. However it kept it's promise as being a waterproof mascara. This product wasn't for me but maybe for a natural look :)

I think everyone should check out the miners website and all the other products, I guarantee you will be as impressed as I was.

  

Taylor Swift Inspired

Anyone that knows me well knows I am obsessed with Taylor Swift. I love how her songs are so honest and real most young girls can relate to them and they can really help girls realise their not alone in their problems. She's such a good role model for young girls aaaand she's absolutely gorgeous too. She always looks elegant, comfortable and natural. I loved this J. Mendel dress she wore to the American Country Music awards:

This dress has such an edgy and modern take on the long white gown, plus the metallic detail  adds curves to a slightly more boy-ish frame. 

In my eyes the girl can do no wrong, but this really is my favourite look of hers.

Feelin' Girly

It's spring which means flowers blooming, sun shining, longer days, warmer weather, I could go on and on forever about how much I love this time of year. I'm welcoming girly clothes with open arms. A girl gets sick of woolly cardies, chunky knits and boots. So I'm saying hellooo to ballet pumps, bright coloured jeans and cute girly accesories.

I got this cute locket necklace from topshop for only €3! bargain! and the bracelets are from Penneys also around €3.

You don't have to spend much to add a little girly to your wordrobe, just simple additions like necklaces, bracelets and scarves.

I loosely plated my hair at the front, not only does it girliness to the look but it also keeps your hair back out of your face :)

I painted my nails a nude purple using essence nail varnish; cheap and cheerful :)

Little touches like this can make a plain outfit more fun, your less likely to get sick of your clothes and so it saves you money... perfect!

What do you guys think?? 

Love is in the air...

So Valentine's day is nearly upon us and it's all about love... Couldn't think of a better time to introduce my new favorite brand... LOVE, you all  probably know this brand, it's available in Topshop but there isn't a huge selection so instead check out inlovewithfashion.com. LOVE clothing is all about classic shapes and simple details which makes this brand so wearable... Right now the focus is on chiffon and silk, two quite dressy fabrics but the simple prints and design make the dresses slightly more casual... perfect for day and night wear.


 Here are some of my faves:

All these items are so wearable but really unique...

What's not to LOVE ;)

Darling buds

So we'll soon be stepping into spring, probably not in the weather sense, but most definitely in the fashion sense. When has the weather ever stopped us from wearing the latest trend, or anything we want to wear for that matter. I love the floral trend this spring, it's so fresh and such a nice change from the woolly winter style of chunky knitwear. I love girly fashion, as i'm a real girly girl at heart. This trend has been seen on the catwalks of the most influential designers, so no doubt it will be so apparent on the high street..

Rodarte, loving the sunflower print, very unique.

Balmain, love the floral print jacket and shift dress in pics 2 and 4.

Louis Vuitton, the most breath taking dresses in my opinion, and Kate Moss prove she's still all that ;)

Some more of my fave SS12 trends... 

Mary Katrantzou

Chloe

Aminaka Wilmont

What do you think of the trend?

Lana Del Rey inspired dresses...

I have a new found love for Lana Del Rey, the New York singer, who's actual name is Elizabeth Grant has amazing songs like video games and born to die, but also has an amazing sense of style. She was photographed for V magazine in a chic Prada bodysuit... 

I love how this fitted bodysuit is designed to highlight and exaggerate curves, i've spotted a few look-alike dresses on the high street. 

The design of  this ASOS dress, like the Prada bodysuit, exaggerates curves.

This dress also from ASOS has the addition of mesh straps, which kinda toughen up this colourful body con.

This dress from Miss Selfridge also incorporates  the mesh detail and is available in a rage of colours, I love this pink panelled one, it's so bright and colourful.

I think this body-con, curve inducing design will be really big. It's nice to see designers are promoting curves for a change, hopefully this will catch on, what do you think?

Whitney Port

I looove Whitney Port and particularly her sense of  style. She can look totally glam one minute then laid-back and casual the next,  always looking gorgeous of course!

It's no surprise so that i am a huge fan of Whitney's line: Whitney Eve. Her line is feminine yet funky, she was inspired by styles in LA and New York so incorporated both into Whitney Eve. What i love most about her clothing line is that it is so wearable and affordable for a designer label, it's also so original. Here are some of my favourite pieces on sale right now:

If i could, id want my whole wardrobe full of Whitney Eve clothes alone!

Im not the only one loving Whitney's line,.. Here are some celebs caught wearing Whitney Eve:

Paris Hilton with her sister Nicky.

Kylie Jenner

Heidi Klum, on Project Runway.

Kourtney Kardashian and baby Mason.
