Take my money!

Essentials. Necessaties and basics, for everyday use. A wishlist doesn't have to be only about wants, but it can also be about needs, right?


1/2 - ZARA
3/5/8 - OYSHO
4 - BIMBA Y LOLA
6 - M.A.C Snob Lipstick
7 - CONVERSE X Andy Warhol

I have come to realize that my black trousers are ruined beyond repair so it's a good thing I can replace them right where I first bought them last year. Another black item missing in my closet is a pair of Chucks. I have a pair of black ADIDAS, but it's not the same and I miss using black All Stars.
I'm a sucker for lingerie and underwear, so it's something I always want and this water green set is beautiful, delicate and feminine that I just want to grab it and take it home. And the bikinis have the amount of colour and joy, so come on, summer! I'm waiting for you and I need rays of sun and days at the beach!!
The lipstick and the blouse are as neutral as it gets for me, given that I'm not a fan of whites and beiges and ivories. Also, neutral lipsticks as everyone sees them, don't go well with my skin tone, so I turn to pinks, to get some colour in my face! This pink shade is perfect for those days when I can't be bothered with too much makeup but I still want to wear something soft.

And you, BIMBA Y LOLA, can you please stop tempting me? PLEASE?


XOXO,

M

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH

5 fashion things having a job has taught me

Image
Ever since I finished college and started working, some changes have happened in my fashion life. I am the youngest member of the staff, this is my first (almost) full time job and the environment, although casual and laid back, requires a certain discretion and poise on my part. #1 Working at a school and having to deal with the parents as well as with the kids, cleavage/see-throughs/extremely short shorts and skirts are frowned upon. The first two are just rude in a school environment. As for skirts and shorts, I wear them a lot during winter (with tights!), but it becomes tricky in spring. I only wear them when it's to warm to consider anything else. Harem/aladdin pants are also acceptable. Just remember: the shorter the bottoms, the more coverage you should have on your top, going for a boat or round neck tshirt. #2 Balance your makeup. I struggled a little with this one. As much as I love black eyeliner, even when I use a super thin brush, I rarely make a thin line. This m

Colour wishes

Image
With the months passing by and the light of summer holidays shinning brighter at the end of the tunel, i want colour. And light fabrics. I want the warmth of spring as it it slowly transitions into summer and shorts and high-heeled sandals. As always, I'm in love with the same brands. And I'm also trying to get away from my comfort colours and turning to brighter vivid tones, as yellow and red. OYSHO 's bikinis are lovely as always and it's going to be tough pickig just one. ZARA has had major improvements over the last seasons, making it hard for me to buy just what I need. The dress seems so fresh and the pants make me look slim and taller. Plus, anything with an oriental print is a winner with me! I'm addicted to bags; my parents have said this for years and I know it to be true. But how can I resist when BIMBA & LOLA  always make such pretty collections? Who wouldn't want a pretty red bag as these? Ever since I bought a backpack, I've ditched the sho
