Ain't no finer liner


Whoever came up with the concept of eyeliner is a genius. By far my favourite of all makeup products by miles.

Breakfast at Tiffany's


Gossip Girl was nothing but resplendent this week, with Serena throwing Blair a Breakfast at Tiffany's themed bridal shower complete with pearl chandeliers and floor to ceiling duck egg blue boxes, the Tiffany and Co. signature colour, of course. Best friends, eh?

What excited me most was the opening scene, with Serena kitting out the gift bags with so many illustrious items..I paused-played-paused-played-paused until I could grab screenshots and attempt to make out what was slipped into every bright shiny new bag, looking for a home. The bridal bundles look very much like they include Chanel nail polish, Miss Dior Cherie perfume, macaroons, stationery/notepad, candles, macaroons....sadly, I can't make out who made the earrings! I'm probably being incredibly ignorant on this one, it's probably something I should know. Either way, I'd like a bag....

Today,

I wish that magically and out of nowhere...

 

I aquire the ability to do milkmaid braids....

and that a high waisted pleated midi skirt finds its way to me.

Just 'cause.

Cuffed

After seeing Rumi Neely (fashiontoast.com) wearing a Dannijo ear cuff, I have really wanted one.  Or one similar. The Dannijo cuff costs $40. I only have each ear lobe pierced once and the top of my left ear once, which is more than enough holes for me, so I think a cuff would be the pefect accessory for anyone who isn't keen o any kind of puncturing involved. They currently have ear cuffs in Forever 21 now in Jervis Street Shopping Centre for about €3.90 each - one of which I bought, complete with all kinds of dangly things but I definitely wanted one as simple as Rumi's. The one below will do nicely, which took two seconds to find on Ebay and cost less than €2. Win.

Step on it

These boots are some of the nicest boots I've seen in a long time. I'm far too tall for the ASOS Archies (now £22.00 in the sale) but I think the Topshop Paddington Stud Chelsea boots in either black or brown would be worth every cent at €150. I wonder if the latter would set off metal detectors at the airport...

Update: These are now sold out in all the shops, sold out online...FAIL.

Tick Tock...

I've wanted to get balayage done since last summer, when I saw the below image of Jessica Biel at the A Team premiere. I thought I'd have it myself by now..how hopelessly naive I was!

In my efforts to achieve more length, I have been taking extra special care of my hair ever since I got bitten by the balayage bug. I have refrained from hacking it myself with a cheap scissors, opting for semi-permanent hair dye...even taking vitimans. But it just. won't. grow. My hair is barely past my shoulder now, so it could be another year until I get to visit the Style Club to avail of the French free form process.
Of course I could get it done now, as balayage can look nice on shorter styles - Alexa Chung is a great example...but I never really paid much attention to or noticed hers. So I guess i'll wait and wear a longer style. Jessicas, Rachels and Lilys are the perfect length and colour.

Rachel Bilson

Lily Aldridge

I'm also interested this Hairspray hair scrunchie for fuller buns. They also have a clip in fringe extension for a full fringe. I'm considering both as they're both between €15.00 and €18.00 and it would be nice to have a detachable fringe. I'm a bit dubious about the fringe though. I wouldn't like it to fly off when i'm dancing/slide down my face when I'm driving or fall into my cereal.

Nina Ricci silk floral print dress.

Lovely. Probably only on Kirsten Dunst though.

February 18

I keep seeing these boots everywhere lately, even though they're a little old. (Chloé Pre-Fall 2008) I want them, although knock-offs don't even come close to looking as good. Office made an admiral attempt to recreate them with silver studding, but it's the gold that makes them so dreamy.
