New favourite mascara?

I am a big fan of MAC make-up. There's a reason why most make-up artists swear by it and it gets used backstage at probably every fashion show. All the products have great texture, last well and the selection of shades is incomparable.
I was given a sample of Clinique's High Definition mascara. First of all because all Clinique's products are hypoallergenic and fragrance free, which is good for my sensitive eyes and second of all simply because my mascara was running out. I got hooked straight away. It lasts well and doesn't irritate my eyes. It makes my lashes look fuller and do I dare say it, my eyes irresistible. It costs decent £14.50 and is available on high street. They say your eyes are the windows to your soul, so why not make them your best feature. With this mascara it's an easy task!

Tribute to the master

I am planning another trip to New York, this time for spring, and was excited to hear about the upcoming exhibition in the MET museum. The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art will honor the memory and vision of the extraordinary talent  Alexander McQueen through a retrospective exhibit opening May 4th 2011. If you read my blog regulary, you probably know that I'm a big fan of his work, and was shocked and deeply saddend by his unexpected suicide earlier this year. I can't wait to see this 100-piece exhibit, that is promising the show the best of his career, starting at Givenchy, his own  label, and pieces from a show that were revealed after his death (read more about it here). Of course you can expect a review from me after I've seen it. For now I'm bringing you a few pics of famous pieces created by the creative genius.

The famous Armadillo shoes

Accessory of the week

Those who read my blog regularly will know, that I'm a big fan of statement jewelry. Be it necklaces or cocktail rings, they can transform a dull outfit in an instant! I treated myself this week with something very special to me from net-a-porter.com. This YSL arty ring sold out before and you can expect it happening again! I love the shape and of course the pink stone. I've been looking for the perfect pink ring for a while and I just fell in love with this one instantly. It goes well with my new hair colour and scored me quite a few compliments already. It's a win win situation. So if you only buy one thing this week, make it YSL arty ring. They come in different colours and I dare you not to find one you love. Or put it on your Christmas wish list to make it extra special.
Have a stylish day.

Selfridges garage sale

Good news for bargain hunters. After much success the first time around, Selfridges are hosting another garage sale this sunday from 12 to 4 pm. And as you can imagine it's not like any other garage sale. With items donated by famous names from fashion, music, sport and entertainment it's an event not to be missed. Among stall holders you can see Yasmin Le Bon, Louise Redknapp, Trinny Woodhall to name just a few. You can guarantee to find some treasures for yourself or as a Christmas present and with all proceeds going to charity Mothers4Children, you don't have to feel guilty if you get a bit carried away. Doing good deed never felt better.

Fashionable day out

My last post was about staying in, but until for-mentioned DVD comes out there is plenty to do that's fashion related as well. For example a trip to Somerset House. The home of London Fashion Week exhibits is great place to visit any time of year but at the moment there's so much going on, you won't know what to do first. There is an exhibition of Matthew Williamson's work, that I'm going to see and can't wait. Williamson's work is quite mesmerizing and it fits well into this time of year. Expect a report from that soon, but if you get time the show is on until January 30th next year. Also you can see the Dior Illustrated: Rene Gruau and the Line of Beauty exhibition, that showcases groundbreaking artworks including original illustrations for Christian Dior Parfums, vintage perfume bottles, sketches and magazines, as well as a selection of Dior Haute Couture dresses personally chosen by John Galliano including a special dres designed by Galliano himself, in homage to Gruau on until 9 Jan 2011. More info here.
And if that's not enough the famous open air ice rink opens there on November 23rd, which is rather magical. Make sure you wrap up warm and loose yourself in what is my favourite sport. So plenty to do and all very exciting.
Have a stylish day.

Fashion Night In

Great news for all fashionista! The wait is nearly over and the much anticipated Sex And The City 2 movie is coming out on DVD on November 29th. Many places are taking pre-orders already, so you can expect it will sell out quite quick. So be fast and snap up this film, which you can easily watch during the long grey winter months again and again. I imagine most of you have already seen it in the cinema, so I will not spoil anything saying, that you may cry but most definitely laugh a lot whilst watching it. The outfits are of course great and I am bringing you few pictures as a reminder of what to expect. I reported before on my favourite dress, which was Miranda's dress at a wedding. You can read again the post here. Her wardrobe was one of the best I thought! So go on get a few girlfriends together for a very fashionable night in.
Have a stylish day.

Toy watch

I am a sucker for watches. I've got quite a selection and it is something that I'm not afraid to invest in. Good watch is a great accessory and if you look after it will last you a life time. I really like Toy watch selection. They've got so many colours, I find it hard to pick (obviously I can't afford them all... ). They are a great way to liven up your wardrobe. If you're afraid to wear colours, why not add a colourful watch. Simple! And looking at them when checking time will cheer you up. The design is quite classic, so they won't date. The only problem you may have is to which one to pick..
