Milan wish list

Missoni bikini/PRADA pouch/Miu Miu belt/PRADA broach/Gucci scarf & Miu Miu purse  

In less than a month I will be visiting Milan and Florence for the first time and I am so excited especially as I am going with a great bunch of girls. I have created a wish list of little bits and bobs from Italian brands which are hopefully cheaper in their home town. I will definitely visit Missoni and hopefully buy a gorgeous bikini which has been on my list for at least two years now. I also love the PRADA “pouch” and that colour is just amazing and would add a great pop of colour to any outfit. I also want to visit some vintage shops to see if I can find some little gems, not long till I can explore!     

ASOS

This is what I wore for New Years Eve, we went to a Hed Kandi bar which was very cool and had a stylish vibe with great funky house music. I wanted to wear something colourful and I just fell in love with this backless design of the dress, I also like that it had long sleeves as it was freezing outside. I hope everyone is enjoying the New Year so far and I will be posting more of these personal outfit purchases. 

Inspiration

VIA (Fashion squad/Wildfox/Rosenna)

I have been searching for a new shoulder bag- a little black classic leather bag. I have been tempted for a while now to purchase this little number from Zara and at only £16.99 it is a total bargain but something is stopping me, maybe the fact that I am visiting Milan in less than a month and hoping to find a little gem in a vintage designer boutique. But I guess I need to decided very soon before it sell out and well I just wanted to share with you this super cute mini shoulder bag from Dolce & Gabbana but at £670 it is just a little bit out of my student reach. 

Carine Gilson

I have a near obsession with underwear I love silk and lace with beautiful details and this Paris-based designer Carine Gilson designs sophisticated and luxury underwear and these are my top three choices. One is playful, the second old Hollywood and the third is for everyday wear. These beautifully hand-stitched under garments are on my wish list for sure.

Bare Minerals

I need to tell you about these new facial cleansers I have been trying and I have started to see progress. These products are a 100% natural ingredient that purifies and soothes the skin- I have been using the bare minerals products for about 2 months now and they have made my skin more smooth and soft. In the morning I use the Purifying cleanser and after the purely nourishing moisturizer (combination skin) and by night I use deep cleansing foam. I also use the makeup products by day which hides blemishes but still make my skin looks fresh and natural. I will do a post someday that shows the makeup products. I advise you to try at least one of the skin products and you yourself can see the different in using all natural products.    

This is one of the recent photo shoots I did for my school project; this is one of my favourite images I have taken. I wanted to create a painting like “pop art” poster that I could display on my wall or I just wanted to play around with photo shop and this is what I ended up with but I kind of like it. Hopefully I will be doing more photo shoots this year, so keep an eye out for new pictures by me.
