How To Create Rockabilly Look and Make Up?

Rockabilly Chicks - they look stunning, like little porcelain dolls, but with a deadly edge. I love this look, it's very flattering and girly. And it's all about curves! Welcome back curvy figures :) Rockabilly Chick loves super skinny jeans, red and black combinationas, quirky dresses, platform shoes and little accessories in her hair. How can you possibly ressist that look? Think 40s working wonder women posters and you're in the subject.

First, the make-up: it's all about porcelain complexion, strong eye make-up and red dominant lips - Rockabilly Chick knows what she wants from her look!

Before you start, moisturize thoroughly your face and neck, so the make-up sticks for longer. For the flawless complexion, use foundation with good cover - eg. L'oreal in your natural skin tone, and put it evenly on your face, eye-lids, and partly on your neck - to mix with your skin. You don't want to look like wearing mask, right? Now, apply loose powder all over your face and neck, and for pale porcelain skin, use one 1 - 2 tones lighter than your skin tone.

Now, the eyes - create one thick line along the upper lashes. Make sure to dab it from the inner part to the outer. Also, stick to the lash line whe doing this - just don't over-do it :) Little tip: put the loose powder as the base so the pencil won't smear by the end of the day. Leave the the lower eye-lid bare, for ultimate vintage look.

Mascara is now your best friend - get one for extra long lashes (eg. L'oreal), rather than thickenning one, to achieve the ultimate girly, lolita look. Apply two coats of black mascara - just on the ends - and be careful not to clump the lashes together.

Lips - they need to be of strong color - no doubt about it, dark red, dark pink, any shade is good as soon as it's bold and strong. Get soft lip pencil to contour your lips, and then fill with a lipstick. Remember to use similar shades of lip pencil and lipstick, with a lipstick 1 - 2 tones lighter. We know - not everyone likes dark lips, so don't force yourself - it should be natural how you look and feel, if you prefer delicate lip gloss, it's fine, just make sure it all 'works' together ;)

Hair is very important for Rockabilly Chick - and we are talking about strong hair color - platinum blond, dark red or devilish black - and forget about hair extensions! This look is not about the siren waves and highlights, we're talking bold, shocking styles and electric combinations. The ideal length is to your arms, with curly ends, close to your head. Fringes are back - short, curly, and very cute! Create the dolly-lolly locks with curling iron - it's your new best friend ;) Use plenty of hair-pins to team up your hair - put a hair-band or Paisley Bandana, if necessary. Have the hairspray ready for the total control of your hair. Crown your head with some funky red / blue hair clips and you're done!

Remember - it's fun, quirky look - it's colorful, and trendy. If dolly dresses are not your type of pie, don't worry - go for funky chess shirts (tie them at the front ;), super sexy skinny jeans, and animal print - as always in! Converse are also perfect with Rockabilly Chick look ;)

Something A Little Different ♥

2012-03-27T13:58:00.000-07:00

This post goes out to 'Something A Little Different' I'm sick of seeing a new ozone layer of fake tan or stank galore (adj.) The quality of being whorish and/or trashy or the appearance of bearing said quality. So I thought I'd post some pictures of people who are not harsh on the eyes and actually aren't afraid to be different. Enjoy!!!!!

Jime Litwalk

I'm currently in the process of having a sleeve done, I'm a big fan of cartoon style tattoos. I finally found an artist whose artwork is colourful, unique and inspiring! Jime Litwalk tattooing style is one of the best I've ever come across that's why I decided to have a sleeve of his artwork.

This was taken just after I'd sat for 6 hours having it done, OUCH!!!

The next one I'm having done on my forearms.

Mandy Tsung's surreal portraits embody the vulnerability, strength, love, and sexuality that are inherent within human beings. Her work is about capturing the complexity of emotion, and is greatly inspired by editorial fashion photography as well as nature. She draws from her multicultural heritage to blend Ukiyo-e aesthetics with vibrant, pop-culture inspired female characters to create work that is both captivating in its beauty and thought provoking.

Alexey Titarenko - City Of Shadows

2011-09-08T04:58:00.000-07:00

Alexey Titarenko received his Master of Fine Arts degree from the Department of Cinematic and Photographic Art at Leningrad's Institute of Culture in 1983. He began taking photographs at the beginning of the 1970s, and in 1978 became a member of the well-known Leningrad photographic club Zerkalo, where he had his first solo exhibition (1978).

Since this was creative activity that had no connection with the official Soviet propaganda, the opportunity to declare himself publicly as an artist came only at the peak of Perestroika in 1989 with his "Nomenclature of Signs" exhibition and the creation of Ligovka 99, a photographers' exhibition space that was independent of the Communist ideology

Tattoos & Addiction

2011-09-04T15:33:00.000-07:00

I recently just had a new tattoo done, adding to my ever increasing collection. If you haven't got any tattoo you probably won't understand this when I say they are ever so addictive. Not sure whether its the thrill or the fact I simply might just enjoy pain???? At the moment I've got 4 and soon on the 3rd October I'll have another amazing one to add to the collection. To go with my rockabilly style and my love with retro I got a pair of cherries tattooed on my wrist, they are gorgeous and surprisingly it didn't hurt when I got my wrist tattooed. My boyfriend also got tattooed at the same time (how romantic)! Unfortunately for him he got his neck tattooed and that did hurt :)

Autumn/Winter 2011

2011-08-29T12:20:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited for Autumn & Winter there are my favourite seasons, for me it's all about being stylish and cosy at the same time. I have no intentions of wearing trousers as I literally only own one pair of jeans and some chinos, but about 50(maybe more) dresses! This autumn is all going to be about dresses, wooly tights, knee length socks and brogues, so excited! Everyone looks so cute all wrapped up in so many layers, I've sourced out some images which have given me inspiration for autumn/winter. Enjoy! Hope I've inspired you :)
