Addictions, or lack of.

Click this pic to hear more about the whacky craze spawning all over YT Jenna Marbles does a weirdly awesome version on her channel 1. Beauty Products This one is especially directed at the Ladies, although I can't prejudice and suppose that men do not use beauty products from time to time, even if it is just a moisturiser or grooming tools, however the fact is applying make up becomes ritualistic and a 'can't live with out' for most women on a day to day basis. I believe that application of make up etc. can become an addiction to the extent that an individual cannot so much as pop to the corner shop with out a full coverage of face art. Reapplying make up throughout the day is not a foreign concept in the western world, whether it be discreetly during lectures, pruning in the office or simply a slight touch up trip in the public toilets, you can never go too far with out catching someone checking them selves out in a mirror. The same convention goes for tan...

Pardon my tan-tastically orange hands/ porcelain face combo. I do feel like a nob.  Hello Girls. I know the title sounds as alluring as that, however, I am not planning on writing an entire article about the pains of being a woman in society, I have dealt with the pangs of man-hate quite enough already and internalised those vicious ideas since I am all about gender equality.  I thought I would revert to the softer tone of this blog, that being about beauty products and fashion.  In hindsight, I feel that personally I have been objectified by men whether I have always been conscious of it or not, the female physique is a fascination motivating their diligence, nevertheless. Likewise, I am aware of the many women, struggling with this unfair development. With very little provocation, I have been subjected to the perversion of strange, unsolicited men in public, near my home and around the workplace. This has had an impact on my self-este...

Of late, in my intrepid exploration through the vortex of fashion and beyond, I have discovered that as clichéd as it sounds, that less is in fact  more. I know it can be hard to believe, considering that I fancy myself as quite the merchandiser; over many years of trashy garment faux-pas, along with the expected disasters such as the hot pink combats and the tacky version of leopard print. There are certain ways of wearing leopard print, don't get me wrong, I'm not writing it off forever. I have recently downsized to a generous selection of what I consider to be staple fashion come-backs for 2015, which include kimonos, harem pants and embellishment. I managed to pick up some very delicate princess sandals, mint green with a small pointy heel, easier to walk in than they look I can assure you! I was shopping in Manchester with my mum and we always check out the charity shops as well since we like to fuel our money into good causes along with browsing the new lines and sal...
