If you missed out -like I did :( - on the famous Chanel Jade this is a nice similar shade No. 85 by Revlon called 'Minted'. It does take 3 coats for full opaqueness. However, I love pastels for Summer and this will look rockin' with a bit of a tan :)

Glamour FOTD #2

I love being creative, it's so important to challenge myself artistically. I need to change my look everyday to continue to improve. I can not and will not get stuck in a rut and therefore look to magazines and makeup books for inspiration. One such book is by famous makeup artist Scott Barnes called 'About Faces'. And here is where today's look is derived from,



a modern take on a Barbarella style. Unfortunately, the photos don't capture the very heavy black winged eyeliner that I did - nevermind - c'est la vie!

'Why Hello Sailor'

Wheels and Doll baby is an internationally renowned Australian-based fashion label founded by Melanie Greensmith and partner. The clothes are hailed '... to snare a millionaire' and is the epitome of sexualised glamour. I am hugely influenced by 1940s/1950s pin-up girls and the clothes really befit my voluptous figure. These are my two favourite outfits, the latter of which I purchased yesterday. I can't wait to wear it.....

I have this one in black and white and call it my 'why hello Sailor' outfit (tee hee!)

This is my NEW Scone and Tea party outfit.
I just bought this as a two-piece outfit. The skirt is longer to below knee and much more slinky and clingy to my curves, but the corset - ohmygawd - it's gorgeous, it is a black bra type tulle outlining the sweetheart neckline with a cute little slim black bow in the middle.

It was quite expensive but it's perfect. The print is so pretty and you can wear it during day or evening or even to weddings :). I'll do an OOTD ASAP....
....and like the silly little gal that I am, I have painted my nails 'Minted' by Revlon in preparation to wear this outfit tomorrow. Now, onto the makeup....hmmmmm - a red lip vs. bronzed summer look? Not sure.....

Trinket Treasures
Whilst perusing Diva the other day, I found some really cutesy trinkets that i just had to have. I like to change my style and I often get excessively bored of always looking conservative for my job so I *let loose* on my days off and have fun!
I went for a few items with an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party idea.

Gold heart and teacup necklace AUD 7.99

Charm chain with a vintage feel AUD 14.99
These banging ghetto silver hoops AUD 9.99
And of course :) in keeping with the flavour of the month....this made me laugh at only AUD 9.99!
Good things come in small packages indeed :P

The New and Improved *smooch*

I was getting bored of my images in colour so i did a bit of black and white photography.
And although they may feel slightly different in size, there have been no lumps, bumps, redness or adverse reactions (inclusive of the male kind!). Giggle, giggle.
