MK+A April Vogue




























So like your all aware I'm currently in a state of depression with my hair, as I'm growing out the awkward 'Frankie' cut. 
I got rather bored and decided with a large number of clips I would try something different and see what I thought.. I have not had a middle parting since the age of about 7 so I'm still unsure whether I actually suit it. I would love one day to have my hair shoulder length (maybe longer) and have a middle parting, which is far different from my short hair and big side fringe I've been seen with for 5 years now..

Lauren Conrad Love























It's safe to say that I am a HUGE fan of Lauren Conrad and am simply beyond jealous of her lifestyle, career, fashion, style, beauty and hair!
I am currently writing an essay for my 'Contemporary Issues' Module at University which is based upon the influence of celebrities and media in todays culture.. and my celebrity born from reality TV had of course to be Lauren Conrad.. and researching into her for images, quotes and general information I have without a doubt become extremely jealous of her!

Sandstorm Collection - Topshop

I am usually a loyal customer to my makeup brands, and am quite boring with my makeup and tend to stick to the same things I products and shades I have been buying for what seems like a life-time.
My usual brands are MAC, Loreal and Benefit. 
But after browsing the internet I came across Topshop's newest collection Sandstorm.
This looks perfect to me like the perfect toolkit for the summer season and I may need to invest.
Of course I have to wait until payday to try it. 
These are the products I have my eye on...


 £8.00
 £12.00

 £8.00
£5.00

I shall let you in on my verdict once purchased and tried. Promise

payday wishlist

so this month has seemed like that longest month of my life, maybe that has something to do with my bank balance being £0. officially hit rock bottom
I am counting down the days until I get paid. 4DAYS!
And that seriously could not come quick enough..
With my weeks of being a very poor student my shopping list has grew, but I have set myself a rule of: If I can not justify it being a summer purchase, I'm not allowed to buy..


All of the above - Topshop

Sandals - Urban Outfitters

I am also on the look out for a dress for my brothers wedding in July, it's my first wedding when I have not been a bridesmaid so I really want an amazing dress. Obviously it will not come close to the brides

olsen fashion no no..


The Olsen Twins both infamous for their fashion forward style.. 
But today Mary-Kate was spotted leaving her New York apartment a little too fashion forward, dressing MANY years older than her age in a 'granny' like outfit. I have to say I'm not loving the outfit choice, and that is a personal first me and one of the Olsen Twins.

jealously is an understatement..








90210 is without question my favourite of all my listed programs I watch religiously.
Since the newest series (UK) started I have began to be enormously jealous of everyones hair!!!
It does not help I'm in a state of depression with my own, and currently in the growing/nothing stages of it being just there and I hate the very sight of it..
So after watching tonight episode I've came away wanting to google each character and research into their hairstyles. I am currently closer to 'Silvers' - Jessica Stroup's hairstyle, unfortunately for me mine is just a more average untamed version of it. 

I am still very unsure on were I am heading with my hair, with it being the same for nearly 5 years now I have forgotten what it is like to handle hair past my shoulders, and probably how to put a bobble in.....
I do have ideas in mine for what I like, and do wish to one day in the near future have longer hair!
AIM: to be able to chuck my hair into a bobble for my summer holidays!
It's very said that this is all I want to be able to do. I know.

On the subject - A picture of perfection. I shall leave it at that.

no smoking day? not for if your kate moss

Kate Moss hit headlines during Paris Fashion Week, strutting down the runway at Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton casually smoking a cigarette..
Notorious for being a rule breaker, Moss walked the runway, presenting woman with character/personality within fashion and not just the anonymous blank canvas' most see models as.. they're just there to wear and walk the clothes right? Well so some may say..
Moss saw the runway as an exception to the ban of No Smoking Day and felt confident enough to light one up in the spot light of the catwalk. This rebel act shows the role and the stance Moss has in the fashion industry, while also showing the 37 year-old still has 'it' in tight black hot pants and knee high lace-up boots. 


Moss has not hit the catwalk in 3 years, and her absence from the runway clearly came to a halt with a breath of not-so-fresh air.. puffing away and showing herself as a real role model for us younger followers of the industry


Moss definitely stole the show, showing she really does still have it and the show was really a must see.
The Fetish-themed show contained a lot of leather, handcuffs and knee high boots/stockings. 


Superstar designer Marc Jacobs said the public's insatiable desire for everything with the LV logo sparked the idea for the collection.
'There's this crazy, almost irrational desire for these objects, these things we create,' Jacobs told a scrum of journalists in a frenzied backstage interview.
'We were thinking about obsession, fetishism and we thought about an old hotel, with its chambermaids and the affairs that go on there, the crimes and scandals. 
'And we just wanted to reveal all the amazing creatures who passed through there'.




My shoe of the week

The ever so amazing Beyonce was spotted wearing her, Christian Louboutin Daffodile Platform Pumps, 
I LOVE how she manages to keep her fierce style going at all times, even at the NBA All Star Game.. 
If only we were so lucky ehhh..

kardashian to jenner

For my PR module, I have decided after much deliberation that I am taking my MAC cosmetics in the direction for the younger generation.. 'MYFIRSTMAC'
With this we then have to promote our product line, concept and news release
I have been thinking, and have not yet came to a complete decision.. 
But with inspiration from Lady Gaga being the face for their newest VIVA GLAM range, that I do need a young,bright celebrity to be the face of my new product range.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a few options given from friends, I think I may have decided on Kendall and Kylie Jenner!
Just the link to the name 'Kardashian' will turn heads, but I feel the younger siblings of the three famous sisters are the next big thing.. and will most likely follow in the foot steps of their older sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe. After watching 'Keeping up With the Kardashians' I do feel they would be a good role model for our younger generation  and possibly are the perfect match for my new product range..


What do you think? 



Just got to add how much I love Kendall's leather skirt here..
And why is my hair not like this.. to achieve this it may take me years!

Other options discussed: Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Haliee Steinfeld
