Modern Muse

Last week, I attended the launch of Modern Muse; a new perfume launched by Estee Lauder. Modern Muse symbolizes self confidence in a woman that is inspiring to those around her. This independent muse could be your mother, Oprah or even the University student down the road; a modern muse is not defined by age, beauty or wealth which is probably the reason behind the strong and sophisticated yet youthful scent.

The event was hosted at the Sandton Stuttafords and guests were welcomed with Champagne and Non-alcoholic grape juice by the Estee Lauder team. We all mingled while snacking on finger foods and “eat me even though I will make you fat” cupcakes while we waited for the event to start. I obviously used this time to get an #OOTD pic snapped LOL
Chris Williams, a regional make-up artist for Estee Lauder, was our host for the evening. He showed the guests (some completely bare faced) a 3 step make up application routine that focuses on the essentials: Lashes, lips and luminance.

Lashes
 
 

Lips
 

Luminance
 
Chris made applying make-up look so quick and easy that we all left the event feeling like professional make-up artists. Once I get my (almost non-existent) make-up collection going, I will definitely give “Lashes, lips and luminance” a try.

Thank you to Stuttafords and Estee Lauder for a great event and to my friend Bavika for inviting me along with her

Keeping it simple

Happy (Throwback) Thursday

Guess who is back with a very simple ootd? This simple maxi and all star combo is what I wore on Saturday. I added the statement necklace and my favourite mustard bag (I know I’ve been butchering this bag lately by using it as often as I have been) just to add some colour. I just realized that I’ve been wearing a lot of denim and even more grey lately. Maybe I should challenge myself to a denim and grey free month? After I wear my new boyfriend jeans of course…

Put your cool hat on

Hello there Fashion loving friends

This is what I wore yesterday. I can’t get over this awesome hat that I found at Topshop recently. The minute it lands on my head, I get this sudden urge to pretend that I’m the lead singer in a rock band that wears cool hats. I know joburgers are probably thinking that I’m completely looney to have worn so much black in almost 30 degree heat but I’m an impulsive dresser that rarely cares about the weather LOL

Boyfriend in the Spring

Greetings fashionistas & happy October

I’m back with a casual (& relatively old) outfit post this week. My version of the boyfriend Jeans (a normal slim fit, 3 sizes too big) is fast becoming my go to item when looking for something to wear. Not only does it disguise any traces of a fat day, it’s also really comfy and oh so versatile. Although I’m not ready to bid farewell to my super skinnies just yet but I will admit that embracing this trend has definitely added a refreshing twist to my recent looks. Just a word of advice, invest in a pair! If denim is forever, boyfriend jeans will surely stand the trend of time (My failed attempt at being witty, LOL)
