A girl should be two things:classy and fabulous
Coco Chanel
Sophisticated, delicately embroidered in gold, elegant, enchanting
and exquisite. This is my first timeless piece of CHANEL that is now acquainted
with my wardrobe, purchased in Milan.

MILAN/OOTD2
Dress, Jane Norman
Jacket, River Island
Earrings, Saffron
Okay so this big deal
for me if you know me well enough you will know that I never ever where silver accessories!
That all changed when I purchased these Cinderella flats in my favourite place,
China Town. I’m still in love with the one colour look so as soon as I found
out my mom had a dress the same colour as my duster jacket it was a must. If
you want to add touches of glamour to a casual look this colour or similar I definitely
recommend silver accessories.

MILAN/OOTD
Dress, Forever 21
Shoes, Office
Bag, Zara
Earrings, New Look
As the shops in Milan
are never ending, shopping takes up a whole day which is obviously heaven to me
and hell for my boyfriend. These copper metallic heels are a pain to style fortunately
I found this dress hiding in my wardrobe which fit it perfectly. I’m quite
petite 5ft so an ankle strap usually makes my legs look shorter than what they
are however I’ve noticed that this only the case when I wear a dress above the
knee or just below. If you are petite like me and having trouble with styling
an ankle strap shoe my advice is to keep the length of the skirt/dress mid-calf
preferably worn just above your belly button and you will see that the length
of the skirt against a short top gives the illusion of longer legs so an ankle
strap is a yes for us petite ladies.
Less is more always
and with any halter neck I recommend either a pair of statement earrings or a statement
necklace, never both as it looks too busy on the neck area and loses all shape
of the garment. If you have done this in
the past, leave it in the past.

MILAN/BESTBARGAINS
MILAN/BEACH
Ninth time in Milan and first time in
the beautiful Geona all thanks to my Uncle Andy who surprised me with first
class train tickets for me and my boyfriend to the stunning beach two and half
hours away from Milan.
Swimwear, Mila Schon
Take a look at this spectacular one piece costume. The colours of the costume most defiantly compliment my skin tone. I would recommend this style of costume to women of all shapes and sizes as the costume shape can complement any figure.

MILAN/KIKO
MAKE UP TALK
Since my friend came back from Milan earlier this year she hasn’t stopped talking about this make up brand KIKO she discovered when she was in Italy and how much I have to go. Her exact words were ‘its MAC quality at RIMMEL prices’ obviously I had to see if this was true.

I'd
done heaps of makeup shopping before my trip as I wanted a long lasting
foundation preferably with a glow and something that fits my skin
colour as I have struggled to find my exact match.
URBAN DECAY
A friend of mine
recommend me to try Urban Decay which I tried and was pleased with the overall
look as it gave my face a ‘fresh’ look. As the day went by I felt the
foundation was becoming very dry and almost fading away and when I got home
from work that night my mom actually asked ‘what happened to your face’ I
looked in the mirror and realised the foundation I was sold was a whole two
shades lighter than my skin tone. I went back the next day a demanded a refund
as I was unhappy with the product. However the Urban Decay is fabulous one
glide and you have the darkest black on you water line.
MAC
I’ve tried Mac several times and every time
they have given me samples to take away which are the wrong shade every time.
This time I asked to have my whole face done so I would be sure I would leave
with the right shade again Mac failed. Never again Mac fails me every time.
NARS
I’d been hearing
good reviews about Nars so this was my final try, I went to the one in
Selfridges and the staff were very helpful in helping me find my match. I left
with a sheer glow foundation shade New Orleans and I even bought a
primer which is a base for the makeup which sets it evenly on the face and
provides long last wear. The foundation bottle could be designed better as I
had to buy a pump separately.
Overall it is an OK
foundation I do find myself having to reapply the foundation even with the
primer which I am a little disappointed about also the complete look is more of
a matte finish rather than sheer glow.
Foundation £30.50
Primer £25
My heart actually sank when I walked into KIKO and tried the products as I'd spent almost £60 literally the day before on NARS products and got all of this
15 euros!!!

SALE
Primer 3euro
Foundation 2euro
Hyrda body lotion 3euro
Long lasting lipstick 2.80euro
Nail liqueur 50cent
All of this came to 15euro which is £12.92 . From now on I will stick to my usual foundation YSL shade B90 along with KIKO. Don’t worry ladies you don’t need to travel to Milan for your KIKO fix
you can shop the magic online and I’m pretty sure they have a concession in
London… So what are you waiting go and
get your KIKO fix now http://www.kikocosmetics.co.uk
