Brew Break #22 Calling all eyeshadow lazybones!


As much as I love experimenting with eyeshadows, I'm the first to admit that I can be a lazy bugger. On days where I want to add a lil pizzaz to my makeup, but am in a rush, cream eyeshadows are my saviour. One of my all time favourites has to be Maybelline's 24hour range - in particular the shade pink gold! It's the most divine rose gold, iridescent shade and I always receive so many compliments from my friends when I use it - not to mention it takes seconds to apply. This range also has a wicked selection of colours and doesn't budge ~ it's ideal for a night out! I've also recently discovered that this is a really fab eyeshadow primer for my nude/pink powder eyeshadows!


At the mo at Boots these gems are buy one get the second 1/2 price - that's a grand total saving of £2, hey you can buy a top hat from tiger for that! ;-)

Brew Break #21 Zig Ah Zig Ahhh

Good morning Starshine,
the Earth says hello,

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know about my love for Missoni and this stylish couple...
Note to self: Emerald green and purple go really well together!

When I heard that Missoni was collaborating with Converse, I knew I HAD to join in on the fun. As the trainers were initially £75, I thought I'd risk it and hold out for the January sales and to my surprise, it actually worked! I bought this gorgeous lilac pair for £24 and have lived in them ever since!

Just thought I'd give a lil shout out to my "photographer" - also known as my dad - and his wacky, angles. These were taken in my grandmothers garden in Greece earlier this afternoon!


I'm really loving pastel colours at the mo and lilac is top of the list! Here's two other purple gems from H&M which are on trend and calling my name:
The padded bomber jacket in particular is cosmic!

I was actually wandering around Urban Food Festival in Shoreditch not long ago and stumbled upon her hubby's gourmet Italian food truck, Giallo. I devoured their delicious gluten free tiramisu and even caught a glimpse of Margherita, wearing a Missoni turban, no less! 

Esssshk!

(Congratulations to Margherita who recently launched her own children's range of clothing & an even BIGGER congrats to the happy couple for welcoming their second bundle of Joy to the world. Welcome to the party, Augusto!)
