Black Velvet, if you please...
Velvet is making a comeback just in time for winter.
My mom recently passed down this gorgeous floor length velvet skirt… could be rather Addams Family inspired if you like haha but it makes me feel pretty sultry.
So here’s the million dollar question : Should I alter the skirt or keep it the way it is? Vintage versus Alterations, you help me decide :)

Jeffrey Campbell launches at The Lot
So I think I might be inlove again… Jeffrey Campbell has finally launched at The Lot and I cannot stop looking at these babies!
The black lace ups are my favourite although my “conservative” boyfriend tends to disagree on their level of hotness.
Definitely, without a doubt “ONE HELL OF A LINE UP”
For those sirens I suggest the Lita Spike

Garnier Blemish Balm Cream :Review
There has been a massive hype around the use of BB creams and I finally decided to try it out.
Garnier BB Cream is a miracle skin perfector and claims instant results in one application… unbelievable ?
It evens your tone, hydrates, protects, renews and brightens! Keep in mind it is NOT a full on concealer, consider it as light coverage.

How to get your body ready for Summer?
I’m sure a lot of people including myself are tired of the articles in magazines and videos all over the internet where everyone promises the audience ‘quicker’ ways of losing weight, from diet pills to these food recipes that a lot of people cannot even eat, never mind eat for a whole week.

Lately I’ve been thinking about working out, I’m not a big Gym fan I doubt that will ever change, if that’s what works for some then perfect but for me it is tiring and my hourglass shape seems to change. I just want to tone everything up, like most females do.
