Instant Glamour

Lately there's been :
lack of new clothes and lack of inspiration.

One easy and cheap thing to do when you're going through that is to play with your hair. I'm still really into big hair and eyeliner. Best way to glam up yourself and look pretty with some 50s feel to it.

So here's an article I found in my files, from an old Glamour (Greece) magazine. The quality of the scans is good, so feel free to click, read, save, whatever you want! This model is so pretty!

I Like

I like when you can experiment with your look.
I like the fact I dare for things I wouldn't normally do.
Like wearing heels in the day just because I feel like it.

Vest : Stradivarious
Shirt : Bershka
Jeans : Zara
Ankle boots : Zara

Or wearing bright pink lipstick. Brings out my rock side.

Barry M Lip Paint in 146 Dolly Pink

I like delicious dessert after a ridiculously big plate of pasta.


And I like cooking. So check out my new blog here. (link on the side too, click on the pic).I've been baking a lot lately so wait for cookies and apple pie recipe to come.

Like everyone around, I'm on the run for university projects and deadlines, but there's always time for some blogging, right?

Mac Shopping

Shopping feels good!
Luckily it wasn't extremely chaotic when I went to Mac to buy using my Glamour card. Still early, but remembering from last year, I actually feel sorry for the girls there.

My shopping list had pinks and purples, and in general things I wanted to buy for a long time now, and stocking up with foundation and concealer. I didn't have any purple eyeshadows and considering it's one of my favourite colours I had to buy some. And Satin Taupe!! Who doesn't have that?? I got jealous and wanted it! And it really is a pretty colour you can wear again and again.








I think I should ban myself from make up shopping for at least a year with all the things I have now. Focus on clothes and accessories.

Have a nice evening everyone!

A Different Day, a Different Braid - Gossip Girl Inspired #1

They use braids in GG so often that it's almost impossible to keep on track. But I did snapshot about 100 of them so get ready to learn all different kinds. :D

Episode 3x02 The Freshman

Remember this post? That's what Blair's side braid remind me of the way it's twisted. To recreate it, twist the ponytail and then braid, or braid and then twist.

Shirt : Pull&Bear
Vest my sister was going to throw away: Zara Kids (Mairyliscious I thought of you!)
Jean shorts : Stradivarious
Necklace : H&m
Ankle boots : Dexim

NOTD and Xmas is Coming!

It's been so long, I almost forgot how to use blogger! Shame on me.

Nails of the Day : This is one of my all time favourite colours, creamy mauve-pink, you name it. I can't say the same for the nail polish. Cheap of course, but 3 coats to get this?? Not recommended.


I was wandering around shops today and I was happy to get into a shop with a wall full of xmas cuteness! I loved the cookie jars you see on the back and the candles with the clever lid on the front, looking like chocolate with cream and smelling like chocolate too!


I also walked into Mac, swatching 100 colours, preparing myself for the 30% discount from Glamour magazine next week!! Oh, I remembered why I love Mac so much! You can see purple shadows, satin taupe and other colours on my wishlist.

I am searching for a perfect red lipstick and since my Mac shopping list is so big, I went to Hondos to check on some other brands. The one I loved from Mac is Russian Red (Kim Kardashian favourite, click here to see it). Then I found one that looks just like that in Maybelline! It's Lady Red from the new Color Sensationals.

They don't look identical in the photo but I promise they're are very much alike in the reality. The difference is Maybelline is juicier and Russian Red is matte. It' s a shade that will look good on everyone.(Russian Red is the big line in the middle and on it's left it's the Lady Red. Chaos I know!)

I'll buy Maybelline for now and tell you how I find it.Note that will be my first red lipstick. ;)


What's your favourite red lipstick?

Dedicated to Perricone

I wasn't really planning on making a post about that. Of course like many other bloggers I find sometimes things annoying, or things that make me sad but I choose to let them go and ignore them.

This time I felt like writing a small post, not sure if warning is a good word, but definitely something for other bloggers to keep in mind.

I had a while ago a small Perricone giveaway. I've seen a couple other bloggers I follow having the same with different products and I don't know how theirs ended, but I know mine ended badly.

Amanda who won the giveaway never got the sample from them, both her and me tried to contact the company and the person I had the deal with, but, since my giveaway ended SILENCE. They chose to ignore us and I just couldn't let it go. Both for other people that are approached by Perricone, and Amanda, that I put in so much trouble even having to contact them herself.

Of course the giveaway post, that acts at the same time as an advert for them, will be deleted. And of course I won't accept deals like that before, only sticking to my own giveaways.

My apologies again to Amanda and see you later with happier posts. :)
