An ode to Emmanuel and his careful attention to detail (and blog favourability); with a special mention of his ability to cross-texturize and layer patterns & fabrics, whilst keeping the classic look ever fresh.

MECCA

Put America's most beautiful and stylish people in one area on a Wednesday night, and what do you get? a Chanel event - their SOHO boutique opening, to be exact.

Cliche choices, perhaps? I couldn't go past how beautiful their faces look - They outshone their outfits! Their complexions are aglow and their choices of make-up are outstanding! 

 dewy skin +  winged eyes + barely there lips

= my most favourite look of all time!

To keep, or not to keep? NOT TO KEEP!

 

Following much deliberation, a couple of weeks ago I purchased these nude/tan Swedish hasbeen-esque clogs. After rightfully sending my Jeffrey Campbell bomb-of-a-pair back to the US, I decided that a lower heel was more suitable, and less trend fleeting (although, still not too sure about the longevity of them in general); but hey, lower heel = more wearbility. On the plus side, these don't look half bad with rolled up jeans and trousers... Possibly dresses and shorts if the weather decides to be nicer?

I haven't really had the chance to wear them yet, so I'm considering returning these...damn you, cognitive dissonance!


REFUNDED! - WELL PLAYED.. CLOGS ARE OUTTA HERE!

Borderlining an Obsession

       

So MP and I watched Going the Distance today (Despicable Me will just have to wait until next week!), and it didn't disappoint! 

If you're thinking it's just going to be a romantic chick flick (which I wouldn't have minded anyway), think again. It's got such a funny dialogue, and we could kinda relate to parts of the storyline and the 'distance'. We walked out of the movie feeling a little bit more appreciative of the fact that we're only a drive away from each other. 

And Drew, Drew, Drew... the movie made me love her (& Justin Long) even more! 

Some pics of her out and about, promoting the movie. Love how she's wearing her grey Tribute Pumps everywhere!

Madness Madras

A style influential of mine, brother, Emmanuel, has been drilling in the madness of Madras this Summer - to my excitement, I came across posts with Über stylish kids today - both wearing, you guessed it.

Heart BECCA

                      

I've always loved their campaigns; natural, ethereal, glowy skinned - exactly how I wish I looked! I think what sold and convinced me to walk up to their DJs counter was the fact that an Asian model was [finally!!] not being portrayed as a fair-skinned geisha doll! I don't have very fair skin and in Summer I tend to go quite tanned, so that last thing I want my make-up to do is make me look like is a doll.

I've been using BECCA make-up for about a year now  and although I don't use all of their products (I also haven't tried everything), I really recommend their Silky Hydrating Primer, Luminous Skin Colour SPF20 Foundation and concealer. Their skin products are really light and not cakey at all, so it's wearable all day. Not to mention their astounding colour range - I've never seen so many shades! Colour matching your skin tone to their products is a breeze, and each colour specifies what undertones they suit most ie. pinks, yellows, neutrals etc.

I could rave on more about their products, but I'm quite certain these campaigns will convince you enough to give them a visit!
