"Real" Women.

For years the fashion industry has bombarded us with the image of 'beauty' and what we need to do to achieve it. Whether it be a complete wardrobe overhaul, skin treatments, make-up ideas, gym memberships and ofc the ever faithful eternal diet.

It's very hard to be anything but sceptical of yourself when you look in the mirror. It's no wonder young girls and some boys are beginning to become victims to eating disorders and the like. 

Anyway, back to the point! While flicking through a magazine I came across an article which was highlighting how trendsetters like Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton will be releasing classic pieces which will be for the "real" woman. The collection named "And God Created Woman" is based upon the fabulous Brigitte Bardot (from the same named film). The collection will be pieces of flattering skirts and clevage-enhavncing corsets (god, do I need that!)

For once they seem to be listening to the real world! Even the models are relatively 'normal'!
And finally they are bringing in clothes which can be seen to be flattering to all women not just the up and down types that strut their bones down the runway!  
I approve.
Bravo.

Venomous Villains

Venomous Villains is the new title for MACs new make up range which will be hitting us in September! (I'm not stating the villians below are the ones who are being released, but they should be)
Normally I find their collaborations a little 'pink' for me, ergo Hello Kitty and Barbie.
BUTTTT
this Disney collaboration looks good!
Not a lot has been released about this yet apart from this video (CLICK HERE!) which has a hell of a load of hints!
Enjoy.

Hello Summer!

As I was driving home today I saw something that is so quintessentially summer for me!
I saw the first hot air balloon of the summer :) (well for me anyway!)
Here is a photo I took from the car, so don't expect quality!
