Another fashion post today. I definetely have a weakness when it comes to fashion, and this post proves it. A couple of weeks ago, Farefetch introduced me to this amazing competition, in which you had to create a fashion forward look using a Dolce and Gabbana items from their website. The look should also include a Sicily bag and be true to the brand's italian style. The winner would get a mini Miss Sicily bag.

I'm doing another wishlist today, but this one's about shoes! We all love shoes, don't we? Shoes and bags are a bigger weakness than clothes to my little heart. I'll be picking some of my favourite items from ShoesPie - http://www.shoespie.com - which has a great variety of boots for women cheap - from two categories, that pretty much sum up my personality.

Yesterday, I was introduced to a lovely online store, Aisle Style (check out their facebook page too). It is an affordable store with great variety and elegant styles of Wedding, Bridesmaid, Evening Dresses and Accessories. The website is really easy to navigate and use, with great filtering options so you can find exactly what you are looking for, for any occasion. Since I'm not planning to get married any time soon, I'll be doing a wishlist of my favourite Bridesmaid and Evening Dresses.

Yes, I've got another fashion wishlist. I can't help it, when seasons change I feel the need to buy new clothes. Since my previous wishlist was quite monochrome, I decided to create a more colourful one, even though, I still got quite a bit of monochrome. When I found out that MRP was having a competition giving you the chance of winning clothing for a year, I decided to show you some of the things I'd love to own if I won the competition. Chances are I won't win, but even then I would definitely buy some of these things as this brand is cheaper than Primark. Amazing right? Firstly, I'd love to have their blue sateen blazer, their geometric tapered pants and their blue buckle block heels. Also, their lipstick and guitars t-shirt, their polka dot skater skirt and their green ankle strap wedges. Their shimmer heart crop top, their floral scuba skater dress, their striped skater dress and their black pleather mini skirt are also some of my favourite picks. In terms of accessories, I've chosen their thread bangle pack, their plastic round sunglasses and their studded structured sling. Lastly, I'd love to have their tassel bangle pack, their engraved leaf double ring and their ombre woven scarf.
You can enter the competition and win a years supply of clothing here!

Urban Decay is one of the few brands that I have tried. I own the older version of the Feminine Palette, which I absolutely love. But it was a purchase made online and I would love to just be able to see and test the Naked Palettes in person. Particularly, Naked 2 and Naked Basics. Which one of the two would you pick?
Dainty Doll is a brand that a lot of beauty bloggers talk about and I have been wanting to try their products since they were launched, but without being able to see what they have in person, just makes me take a step away from buying anything. Their blushes look very promising and especially Billion Dollar Babies cream blusher.
Nars, oh, Nars. This is a brand that has been on my wishlist for such a long time. Yet once again, I haven't been brave enough to try their products with an online purchase. It's harder when the brand is as expensive and the possibility of disappointment is greater. I have made a Nars wishlist a year ago, and here I am today, still wishing to buy something from them. I really want to buy the Sheer Glow foundation and the Pure Radiant tinted moisturiser, but without the risk of getting the wrong shade for my skin tone.
Illamasqua is a brand that I've only recently started to think about. Especially when I saw those speckled nail varnishes. In the picture above I show you Scarce which looks absolutely beautiful and I would love to have it on my nails. In addition, there's some hype around their Skin Base Foundation, which I would love to try.

I've always loved experimenting with my hair, well in theory mostly. I have had blonde highlights for a couple of years and I've also been a red-haired for a month. The colour went from a deep red to a light brown in a couple of months, to be more specific. Currently, my hair is a shade of blond similar to the darker colour in the first picture (hair post here), but even though I promised my hair that I will not dye it for at least a year, I am already thinking about what colour to go for next time. I made this promise to my hair, because it's a bit damaged from the previous four hair dyes. The first hairstyle I would love to try on my hair is a blonde ombre. Oh, how original of me! I just think it looks very nice and since my best friend gave her hair an ombre, I just can't stop thinking about trying it. Something that has been on my hairstyle wishlist for a long time is to dye all of my hair a light shade of blonde. I've always wanted to do it, but never been brave enough. Even though I was a red-haired last year, I didn't enjoy it. Like I said the colour didn't last and it wasn't dyed properly, as my sister was pretending to be a hairdresser. I would like to try it again, but have a professional do it. I love red hair and I think it would suit me with my light skin-tone and green eyes. In addition, ginger is one more colour I would like to see my hair be. The colour in the picture is actually not very far from the colour my hair is now. Lately, so many people have been adding some crazy colours to their hair, and I am starting to like the idea of having a pastel colour in my hair. As you can see from the photo above, I really like purple and pink ombre. You might see me with pink in my hair soon, as I found an incredibly easy way to try it.
What hairstyles would you like to try?

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a great week and a relaxing weekend. Today I've decided to share with you my current makeup wishlist. I have posted wishlists before, but they were focused on specific brands like Mac or Nars. So, shall we get started?
Firstly, I would like to try the new Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation. I have heard some positive reviews and I would like to give it a go, since I am not the biggest fan of heavy coverage foundations. Moving on to another face product, the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. This has been a foundation that I have been wanting to try for a while but I haven't, simply because of the shade range. As far as I know, Rimmel is not sold in Cyprus, so I can't physically test the shades to see if I could find a match. I might wait until I go to London in August, or order it online in the lightest shade, to give it a try. Since we are talking about Rimmel let's talk about the relatively new Apocalips lips lacquers. I've seen so many people mention these and I really want to try them. All of the colours look gorgeous, but Big Bang would be the first colour I would buy. Let's go back to Revlon, for a second. One more thing that I would love to get from this brand is the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick. Of course I would like to try other colours too, but if I had to pick one, it'd be this one. You're all going to laugh at me for not owning the Naked Palette from Urban Decay, but it's on my wishlist. I think I don't need it, even though I am lacking some warm, neutral eyeshadows. One other product that so many people have tried is the Benefit They're Real Mascara. I am looking for a new mascara to buy and this one has such positive reviews, that I might just buy it soon. In addition I would love to try any of the Topshop makeup or nail varnishes. To my disappointment, Topshop makeup is not sold at my local Topshop.

Hello my beautiful readers. How was your day?
For this Wednesday's blog post I shall be sharing some pieces of clothing that I really want to add to my wardrobe. I haven't added them either because I can't find them or they're just too expensive.
A Nude Leather Jacket is something that I have been wanting to buy for a year. I remember being torn between the choice of buying either the black or the nude faux leather jacket from Terranova, last year. I eventually decided to go with the black one and I do not regret my decision, but if I had a nude one too it would be awesome. I still have the image of Elena Gilbert in her nude leather jacket from the second season of The Vampire Diaries.
A Navy Blue Blazer is another clothing item that I want to get for fall / autumn and winter. To be honest, at the moment I don't own a blazer and I believe it would make a great addition to my collection. For some reason I want a navy blue one, I don't know why. However, a nude or ivory coloured jacket would also be good. I believe it's a bit challenging to find the perfect blazer. Some just don't fit right, you know what I mean, don't you?
A Simple Long Cardigan. Now, I know you are going to laugh at me, but I truly don't have a long cardigan , like the one shown in the picture above. I love cardigans and sweaters for this season. It would be awesome if the weather actually got colder. I am sick of my summer clothes.
A pair of Flat Boots is the last clothing item to be mentioned today. Again, you can see that I am actually lacking a lot of basics in my closet. I believe I have two other pairs, a black and a brown, but they have flaws. The brown ones are big for my feet, since my sister has given them to me and the black ones just aren't appropriate for rainy environments. I just want a good pair of everyday, flat boots for the colder months.
Thank you for spending your time on my blog! Do you have any fashion wish lists?

Hello everyone! I hope your day has been great! For this Wednesday's blog post I've decide to share with you my current Makeup Art Cosmetics wishlist, but I am going to split it into parts. This is part 1 with the lipsticks that are on the top of my wishlist. So let's begin!
I don't really have a big collection of Mac Lipsticks, but I own a couple of Satins and a Frost. I prefer the frost finish, rather than the satin which can be drying on your lips. A lot of people say that the Cremesheen finish is great because it's moisturising. I personally haven't had the chance to try one on my lips, however, it's on my to-do list. First lipstick from the cremesheen finish category that I really want to try out is Crème Cup, a lip product that so many people love and recommend. They say it's the perfect everyday shade, perfect for any occasion. Also, it is described as a light blue pink on the mac website, which means it should make teeth appear whiter, and that is something I look for in a lipstick's colour. Have you tried this product?
Another lipstick that I really want to test is Impassioned. Amped-up fuchsia is the description for this lipstick on the website and it looks gorgeous. I love bright lipsticks and this one looks like a great one. Also, there's a lot of hype about Hue, which is a soft pale pink that has a Glaze finish, which I've never tried. I'm not sure about this one though, I'm afraid it might be a bit too nude for my pale skin and make me look sick. In addition, Viva Glam Nicky looks like a fantastic colour, although being described as a bright yellow pink worries me that it may make my teeth look more yellow. Lastly, Ruby Woo looks fantastic and it's described as a very matte blue-red, which means two things. First, it's going to be drying on the lips, but the staying power should be incredibly long and secondly, it will make teeth look whiter, which is always a bonus. That's enough lipsticks for one night!
Which Mac Lipsticks do you own and what do you think about them?
Love ya, Gina :)
