Sunset Dinner
November 24, 2010
Who else is super excited that the weather is being so beautiful in Sydney at the moment? All I want to do it get away from work and enjoy the long, warm evenings and have sunset dinners.
Having said that, I live in the worlds tiniest apartment with a main road staring at my balcony, so it’s not really something I can enjoy at home. However, I do love to go out for a sun soaked dinner wherever possible and being that I have had a load of restaurants open near my place of late it has become far more achievable.
I know it’s just going across the road, but I really like to put some effort in to my look when I do this as well. I like so put on a pretty dress, sparkly flats and pretty fresh makeup and hair pulled back (so it doesn’t fall in my food!). I just think it makes it feel more ‘special’ that just popping over for a bite to eat.
Is anyone a bit strange like me and loves this too?
Fleur Delacour’s Wedding Dress
November 22, 2010
Ok, so I know there is all this “controversy” over this dress being a “copy” of Alexander McQueens but you know what, I am not going to talk about that (I mean, any more…)
I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows over the weekend (and LOVED it btw) and I was simply mesmerised by Fleur Delacour’s (I adore that name just as an aside) stunning wedding dress. I know it’s probably not something that most people would go for being so whimsical and different, but for a Harry Potter movie it was just perfect. It was kind of a shame that they didn’t showcase it a bit more. I was squirming in my seat trying to see it from the best angle!
Also, I just adore Clemence Posey and she looked just beautiful! I loved that hair and make up and the whole look.
Here are some pics!
Wedding at the Manor
November 19, 2010
With all the “Royal Wedding” talk going on lately, my mind has be floating off to English thoughts. I know the Royals will most likey be doing this but… Oh, how I love the idea of a garden wedding in the English summer and having a grand reception at a beautiful historic manor. It’s not something that would probably ever eventuate for me in this life time, but it’s fun to dream.
Of course there would be beautiful roses in vintage pastel colours, opulent yet tasteful jewels, elegant, soft dress. How lovely! And don’t forget all the stunning photos you would get in the perfectly groomed garden!

Mix and Match Maids
November 11, 2010
Hey, guess what!? Your bridesmaids are not carbon copies of eachother! Weird, right? Who knew?
Don’t get me wrong, I do think matching bridesmaids can look fantastic on some occasions but I think it’s fab that now days mixing and matching your ‘maids looks is becoming more common!
My favorite idea is having the same colour for all the girls but in different shapes that suits each of their figures. For starters, they will be more comfortable and I just think it gives a more relaxed, happy vibe.You can always go the same dress in different colours too, but be careful here because sometimes it can look very messy and unplanned. Try to keep in the same tonal range if possible and this works fine.
I also like having different beauty looks for each girl. They will probably have different hair lengths so why try to get their hair to look the same? They will probably have ideas on how their hair works best! Talk to them and get ideas, work with them and make sure everyone is happy. Also, one of them might always wear a red lip or flicked liner as their signature, why not let them do it at your wedding?
The Blushing Bride
November 10, 2010
Being a makeup artist and a person obsessed with weddings, of course I love all things wedding makeup. On top of all that I have a mild blush obsession, so I though I would discuss my opinions on the matter!
I hear often that brides have been told by their photographers that they should have no shine or shimmer or glow in their faces for their wedding but I respectfully disagree, well, not on the shine thing but I feel that I bride with glowing cheeks is the peak of pretty. In the image above you can see what I mean. She doesn’t look oily, she looks fresh and alive and glamourous! If her cheeks were matte she’d look dull and flat. Who wants that? No one!
To achieve a perfect blushing bride look I recommend the following:
After applying your foundation apply a pretty, soft creme blush (for a pink I really love BECCA Lip and Cheek Creme in Rosebud and for a peach Stila Convertible Colour in Geranium) to the apple of your cheeks, then set it with a powder that have a slight glow to it (NARS Orgasm, Benefit Dandelion for example). Then as a final step apply powder or liquid illuminator (NARS Albatross or BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector) on top of that, but heading more towards the cheekbones et voila! Pretty blushing, glowy cheeks.

Amazing Claire Danes
November 8, 2010
I have always loved Claire Danes since being a teen and wanting to emulate her every move after watching Romeo + Juliet. She was the epitome of lovliness to me.
She kind of fell off the radar for a while, doing more obscure, independent movies etc but I have still followed her and then she did this:
I know I am a bit late to this party but I just HAVE to comment on it. She is absoluely radiant from hair to toe. From the glamourous hair, to the subtle tan and of course… the dress. This dress is what dreams are made of really. It’s just amazing! The cut, the colour, the shimmer all working together to create a sexy yet angelic look. I just can’t get enough!
I actually think this would be an amazing bridal look if you have the body to pull it off! Imagine how chic it would be…
Beach Dreaming
November 8, 2010
It’s this time of year that all I can really do is imagine being on a beach holiday. Especially seeing as lovely Sydney has been having such strange weather! I just love the idea of wearing long flowing dresses, casual soft hair, minimal but chic makeup and just floating through life at a leisurely pace.
I am currently planning a sojurn to Vanuatu so the beach is definitley at the forefront of my mind and will be for many months to come. So expect some summeriness from this blog!
