A Little Bit of Blue Velvet

Scarf - Edgars

Coat - WoolWorths

Top - Vintage

Belt - Claires

Skirt - Hout Bay Market

Stockings - WoolWorths

Chelsea Boots - Italy

This outfit was taken a few weeks ago when my friend and I went out for lunch at Tasha's. The skirt (made by local designer) that I am wearing I bought from the Hout Bay Market. It absolutely stunning but very tricky to style. I am really enjoying it and think it is really worth the money I spent.

Dreaming

 Ever had that one place that you have always dreamed to visit? That one place where you can imagine yourself walking through the streets with the wind blowing through your hair. You are in your element. Your happy place. Well I have always dreamed of visiting NEW YORK CITY. Ever since I have watched Sex in the City I have had a constant feeling of attraction to NYC. 

I can imagine myself, Starbucks in hand, walking alongside the tall towering buildings while also shopping up a storm. There is something about NYC's atmosphere that brings about the feeling that all your dreams can come true.

I have devised a plan for this dream to come true. Once I start earning money, every month I shall start saving a bit of my salary towards this dream. I want to go before I have children and I am still young so I can still have fun and believe my dreams will come true.

Here are some photo's of NYC and its street fashion:

Avon - Ideal Flawless Foundation

This post is a little different to what I normally do because I am sick in bed fight off the flu. I just came back from school camp and ended up catching the flu up there so haven't been able to do any interesting posts. The camp was a lot of fun as it involved a lot of mental and physical stamina. This camp was all about leadership so we worked on teamwork and becoming leaders and choosing our school portfolios. I chose join the events portfolio which handles organizing the valentines dance, roses, fashion show and Matric Dance after party. We have a really good bunch of people who all seem to be eager to take on this portfolio so it will be a success.

Onto the beauty side. The other day I received my Avon order which I ordered two foundations, the same but different shades (nude and natural beige). I was extremely excited as I needed a new foundation but one that was good for my skin. I also use the Avon skin range which has done miracles for my skin (if you want I can do a post on that too). These two foundations are very similar in shade. I found that this foundation gave me full coverage but was a bit cakey if you used too much. Maybe I did over do it when I tried it out first time, which was in the dark due to renovations. What I can say is that the foundations matched my skin very well and I will keep using it but obviously not as much as when I tried it out. I am really starting to love the Avon range and will use more of it in the future.
