Guest Post: Beautiful Beauty

I am not usually a beauty product girl, I am way more likely to spend my money (and time) on clothes, shoes and things for my home but after seeing these best beauty picks from NY Fashion Week, I think I need to start experimenting a bit more

Using eye liner to make the perfect cateye: Ports 1961.

And I love these metallic eyes too: Altuzarra

Gwen Stefani with the perfect soft updo and her signature lips.

How cute are these loopy updos, I think they look delicious, and the bow is pretty cute (Monique Lhuillier)

I love this: Luca Luca

Baby style

I want to buy the entire Stella McCartney Baby collection for Honor's wardrobe.

PS. dress appropriately

I know NY Fashion Week is over and done but since last week I was operating about a week behind, behind it makes sense that I am only posting my fave NY Fashion Week invites now. For the sole reason that inspiration can be gained from good idea invites even once the show is over. I think the "go with me to the dance" invite would make a delightful wedding invitation.

Guest Post: Happy Weekend

Seeing as it is all fashion fashion fashion on my mind with Joburg Fashion Week currently taking place, and New York FashioN Week finishing today, moving onto London over the weekend... these are some fashion focused links to get you through this fashionable Friday:

For my posts about Joburg Fashion week, including front row madness, cool street style and the best of the best shows, have a look here.

Check out these future style blogging stars.

Have a look at this cute picture of Tavi, how are you feeling about her new hair hair colour? To be honest, I am not convinced.

Fashion weeks would not be complete with Ms Anna Wintour

I want this Alexander Wang knit.

How great is this article? And how jealous are you of these woman who buy garmets straight off the runway... in my dreams.

ps. Have you heard of Wear South African Friday? Today I am wearing my Coppelia striped tee.

Where do good ideas come from?

Guest Post: Pretty Prints

I am enjoying the slow, collection process of adding things to my home. I don't think a home, it's walls, shelves (and certainly the wardrobe) are ever completely complete.

Here are a few prints which I would love to add to my study:

A new approach on London.

A pretty floral heart.

And one for Honor Elizabeth, so that she will know all her animals.

Back to the future

Birthdays make you realise how quickly time passes. I am fascinated by this photography project of Irina Werning who gets her subjects to reenact photographs from their childhood. The outcome is somewhat amusing + somewhat amazing and makes you want to slow the clock a bit. I love seeing how some people have not changed one single bit!
