OOTD: Out and about town


So I didn't get a  good picture of my final outfit last night, but I have a couple from my photobooth that aren't that bad to share.


 So this was the final look expect I paired it with a black and white Striped Blazer from H&M (not pictured)
The shirt is from Topshop out of their basics, so it was really cheap, but has a nice cut and is very comfortable. 

The Shorts are from H&M are from their business clothing section. They are just high-wasted black pleated shorts, also not to expensive and good to dress up and down. 

Coral Belt from H&M 
Tight from Forever 21
and I wore the same leopard wedges from my last OOTD, also from H&M

Since it's cold here in London you can never leave the house without a coat. I choose to wear this coat below, also from H&M (Do I love H&M or what!! Seem like all I wear are there clothes, but they are just so cute and affordable!!!)
Its not quite a trench material, its softer and more comfortable, and the attention to detail on this coat is amazing. If you are looking for a light weight jacket click here to check out this one from H&M. It also comes in other colors and style. Best to also look in store. 


This was another look I was playing around with, but decided against.


Then for my face. I have been trying the Missha BB Cream this past week and I am still a bit indifferent about this product which is why I haven't done a review on it yet. Here is looks fine, but in other picture I think I look a bit washed out. So I think I need a bit more time to get it right.

Face: Missha BB Cream in #23, Soleil Tan De Chanel bronzer, Mac's Fleur Power powder blusher, and Mineral Veil by Bare Essentials

Eyes: Benefit Lemonade as a base.  Light coat of Bare Essentials Well rested all over. A creamy gold shadow from smashbox on the inner lid, then a dark brown shimmery eyeshadow on the outer corners and in the crease, a little matte white on the inner corners (to make the eyes pop), and black eyeliner on the top and bottom.  Eyelashes from China town finish it off

Eyebrows: Smashbox brow tech in brunette.


Lips: MaxFactor Lip stains in 04 & 06 with Mac Boy Bait cream sheen on top!! 
I really love these lip tints. Although they don't stay on as long as advertised they are still a nice light alternative to a heavy lip stick. And I was surprised at how vibrant the color came out in pictures after I thought it had warn out at the end of the night.

Not the best, but you still get nice color at the end of a long night out! ;P

 
(can find them at any Boots)


And that was my look!!! 

Hope Everyone is having a great weekend!!

Gucci Fall 2011: As seen on TheSatorialist.com

Just taking a break from a little school work, so I thought I would check out some of my favorite blogs. I went on:The Satorialist  And he post some of the most amazing photos from the Fall 2011 Gucci show that I wanted to share them with you all.

I really love the color pops mixed with a traditional fall color palette. I'm especially loving the contrast of texture as well. It proves that winter wardrobes don't have to be filled with boring and muted colors!!

So here they are!! (These are not taken by me they are from thesartorialist.blogspot.com as stated above)




I really love his eye for style. His photo always come out so amazing!!! Please check out his blog if you haven't already!!!! The Satorialist Can't stress how fab he is enough!!!!

Jack's Closet

Did a styling project last term and just thought I would share the results with you all. Since I am consumed with school right now  I can't post much. 

The model in these photos is my good friend Mario!! We did this shoot one night as his house with my old android phone, and I did a few edits on iPhoto. It turned out pretty ok for a camera phone ;P
ENJOY!!!!

Street Style: Bricklane Market


Can't Sleep

Well I can't sleep so I thought I would start a new blog. Currently I have a visual Blog on Tumblr called
live-love-breathe-fashion.tumblr.com  This blog is just an inspiration blog filled with images I love and that inspire me in fashion and beauty. I sometimes posted my own work there as well, but it gets hard to tell when most of the images there have been reblogged so many time. But anyways I really wanted to start a blog where I can talk about things I like to do. So here it is.

I really love to test beauty products, whether they are from the drug store or are designer brands. I especially Love Mascara!!!! I think I have tried every kind known to man and still haven't found the perfect one. (although I tend to go back to Dior Blackout a lot.)

 I am a Fashion Marketing major at AIU London and will be graduating this fall!!! So excited!! They encourage us to blog about what we are doing in terms of our final projects, so I might be blogging a bit about designer and mass market collaborations as well!! lol

I also love clothes!!!! I probably have more clothes then I need. I always have an item of the moment that is my go-to for about a month and then something else comes along and I never seem to get back into those old pieces, but I love them too much to get rid of!! So I will defiantly be posting Outfits of the Day or OOTD as I have seen it written on other blogs.

Well thats enough writing for now. I know half the time people don't even read the post they just look at the outfits anyways so here are some photos to start me off!! Enjoy!
I wore this outfit to the London Portrait Gallery for the Rankin Exhibition
The Blazer is from H&M
Shirt is a cream jersey with a mess back from Topshop
High-waisted shorts are from River Island
Black and white braided belt from H&M
And the Tights are from Forever 21
