Pretty Little Secret Shhhhh!

2013-04-10T08:56:00.004-07:00

Hey Everyone,

Sooooooo to begin I was out of work sick a few weeks back. I found myself bored to tears being stuck in bed so naturally I needed to find something to keep my mind busy and to avoid going completely insane, so I decided to watch Pretty Little Liars.

Now I watched one episode a very long time ago and I had no idea what was going on so I never bothered to watch more but I knew I'd love all the fashion and makeup looks.

So I turned on Season 1, Episode 1 and from there I was instantly hooked......

I watched 10 episodes a day if not more, some nights staying up till 3am,

then went to sleep only to dream about the show (I literally did HA!)

I could not wait to get up everyday to watch more of my girls.

I think It's save to say I was OBSESSED!!

3 weeks later........

I've finished all 3 seasons (yup all 71 episodes) and now I'm wondering What will I do with my life, What will I watch??!! June is aaaages away???!!! I can't wait that long!!!!!!

But But But....What happened to toby? Who's red coat? Is Ali alive? How is this possible? Is it all another trick? Will we ever find out who A is????

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

So now that my secret is out.

Please tell me I'm not alone. Are you obsessed too?? Who's your favourite??!!

Anything else worth watching???

Love Always

Body shapes: The Hourglass

2013-04-09T16:22:00.001-07:00

Hey Guys,

So the 4th video in my body shapes series is the Hourglass shape

Since Marlin Monroe and Kim Kardashian the hourglass has become the most desired body shape in all the land.... why??

because of its sexy curves in all the right places!!

The hourglass shapes is completely balanced.Your top and bottom half with be in proportion and you will have a defined waistline.

Hourglasses do come in different sizes so if your thinking I don't have big boobs and a big butt so I'm not a hourglass.... your wrong!!

The key here is your shoulders, your shoulders and hips will be the same width and another tip you will take the same clothing size on both top and bottom!!

If all else fails get out your measuring tape haha!!

The key to dressing the hourglass is to encourage the eye to take in the whole shape rather than a certain area, So basically when you look at the person you wont look straight at their chest or straight to the hips you will find yourself looking up and down....... which is exactly what I found myself doing when I looked at Kelly's and Kim Ks outfits hehe!!

Check out my video on tips to dress for your fab shape!!

Also how gorgeous does Kim K look in blue! #WOWZA

Body Shapes: The Apple/Rounded shape

2013-04-08T16:45:00.001-07:00

Hey Guys,

So the next body shape is the Apple...

Apple body shapes carry most of there weight on their tummys now you may be very skinny elsewhere but you will carry excess weight around your tummy and no waist difinition and most apples tend to have wide shoulders and big busts.

Reminds me of a lollipop.... round on top and straight on the bottom.

This for me is the most interesting body shape because it can be completely transformed just by choosing the right clothing!!!!!

Is this you???

Body Shapes: The Rectangle/Ruler

2013-04-08T16:30:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys,

So body shape number two is the rectangle.

The rectangle body shape has little to no curves and no waist definition so straight away I know your thinking MODELS.

Yes most... not all models have this body shape, this can be a touchy subject but the reason why models have this body shape is because it's soooo easy to dress.

The key to dressing to rectangle shape is to give illusion of curves by creating curvature on top and button.

How do you do that??......

Check out my video of course and I'll tell you everything you need to know about the rectangle body shape ;)

Enjoy

Love always

Body Shapes:The Triangle/Pear

2013-03-14T11:44:00.001-07:00

Hello my lovely ladies (and lads if your reading :p)

Today we are going to be talking about Body Shapes.

When I made the desicion to start a youtube channel I wanted my channel to be educational. I've learned so much from working in retail/styling for 7 years and being a beautician for 3 years so today I'm very excited to share my first video/blog post on Body shapes.

There's 6 different body shapes....

Hourglass

Triangle/Pear

Apple (Rounded)

Rectangle/Boyish frame

Wedge/Inverted Triangle

Diamond

Today we are going to talk about the Pear Shape

Pear Shapes carries most of their on their lower halves and have quite small and narrow shoulders.

The Pear shape can sometimes look very like the hourglass shape but pears will have small shoulders.

What you Pear ladies want to do is give the illusion of having that perfect hourglass shape that every woman desires by restoring balance to your shape by drawing attention away from your curves and up to your upper half.
Check out my video to find out what looks best on your body shape...

You share your shape with Jennifer love hewitt and Rihanna

Love always

Outfit Idea's For Work

2013-02-24T16:47:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, Can't believe tomorrow is Monday already aah!

NOT FUN!

I'm super happy tho because I got Monday off work YAY I shall be spending it filming a makeup tutorial..... Talk about dedication hehe!

Anyways....... Today's post is outfit idea's for work as you figured out from the title. I know I know everyone has different policies etc etc but these are just basic looks, you can play around with these to suit your company and body shape.

Your Aim in any job is to look well- groomed, feminine and professional.

Your outfit should also reflect what you do.

If your in a job that wears all black that's ok..... Add different textures eg lace, print or add a pretty scarf to your neck or hair, accessorize or add a pop of colour on your nails, shoes or makeup.

ahem... but not all at once ha!

So let's get started.....

P.S I haven't uploaded the video yet so you guys get a first look, I will link video when it's live :)

Pencil skirts (Forever21) are a must have in every girls wardrobe. I know you business ladies are prob so sick of them but lets face it, they are super flattering and classy mix it up a little tho add a colourful blouse, pattern or different texture to your top half, I'm loving this blouse from Oasis very spring/summer and the stripes are quite small so they don't make you appear bigger like some stripes can. I finished off the look with a statement chain (Primark), tote black and heels that are not too high... wear wedges, pumps or kitten heels if that's what your comfortable in.

Yes it may be your usual boring black and white look but monochrome is totally on trend at the moment.

So work it girl!!!!

Add a pop of colour to mix it up red is still very professional and classy,

Wear a chiffon blouse with some detailing on the neck, a statement chain will also work if you don't want to add a pop of colour on your feet go for a purple or burgundy blouse LUSH!!

(Blouse and shoes both Primark)

Here I went for a cream blouse but It's got really cool cut outs on the sleeve which A. covers your arms and keeps you warm and B. Is also is very slimming.

I personally hate my arms but I'm working on them :)

I went for a shorter skirt just for a change and wore black 120 tights, I didn't want them to be see through at work and lastly added ankle boots for a edgy look. If you have a black peplum style skirt it would be so flattering with this blouse. I know warehouse had a lovely version.

For the last look I took a boring old black pants and rolled up the ends for a cute feminine look

Yes I did wear a work shirt but I make it awesome by adding a blazer and a tan or leopard print belt :)

Love Always

After having a hugeeeeee feast in the Giraffe restaurant they then took us to the Benefit Boutique in Spitalfield where thee Amazing brow expert and perfectionist Mark gave us some #WOWBROWS

After we checked into the gorgeous W hotel and we recovered from the shock we headed out for dinner and drinks.

Sinead and I continued to wander around China town while poor exhausted Caoimhe and Mark headed back to their hotel to pass out before their early flight Monday morning.

We spend all Monday shopping and trying to find our way around London before heading back to Stansted to catch the last flight home.... :(

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is well!

So as you may know if you follow me on facebook Sinead (themakeupchair) and I were lucky enough to be invited to London by Benefit cosmetics.

This is what I wore to the airport!

Blog post coming up next and vlog coming soon :)

*What I wearing*

Top: Forever21

belt/boots/ blazer and bag : All Primark

Maxi: Crisis

I love this polka dot top from Forever21 and It matches my maxi skirt perfectly

Remember to all balance your outfits

Because this maxi is quite loose I needed something fitted on my upper body so I choose this fun pokla dot jumper and fitted it with a tan skinny belt to accentuate my waist and tied it in a loop which is also a off the moment/ fashionable piece.

I added a blazer for a structured and feminine look and to finish the outfit perfectly

It maybe not be everyone's taste but I love it!

Fashion Fridays: Casual shopping and Dinner O.O.T.D

2012-11-02T10:43:00.001-07:00

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone is doing well.

Welcome back to another Fashion Fridays post.

Today video is just a casual shopping outfit of the day I wore on bank holiday monday.

I'm wearing my Diamond studded blouse from Oasis €47

Blazer: Primark €20

Boots €25

Skirt Primark (old)

tights €4

I decided to recycle my old floral skirt as Ive seen so many floarl items coming back into stores. I wore it with my on trend collar blouse and added a blazer to give a more dressy feel. This would also look great with a oversized cardigan and pumps or why not wear a vest top and add a long or statement chain or even a sparkle black/while or nude top and killer heels for a more dressy look.

Also a tulip floral skirt would look Amazing if you want a more structured or dressy look esp if you are curvy just like Kim K.
