THE TIARA

♥  ♥  ♥

Being the wonderfully girly girl that I am, have had an extreme infatuation with tiara's for the longest time -- if I had my way, they would not be reserved for gala balls, a bride on her wedding day or, of course, the royal family -- but instead, would be perfectly acceptable to wear during the every day (in my case, preferably a Louis Vuitton version with a matching ladylike ensemble). . . 

To feel like a princess is the right of every girl & why should it be saved for special occasions? Feeling like a princess on a Saturday afternoon whilst baking macarons sounds perfectly lovely -- or on a Monday morning as I drive to work, what better cure for Monday-itis?

ILLUMINATE

 

 -- A beauty bag must have for every girl? Highlighter -- whether accentuating a pout or aiming for sky high cheek-bones, this not so well kept beauty secret is a miracle worker! For the luminous, dewy complexion of these Louis Vuitton beauties, a liquid version is perfect -- here are a few favourites:

♥  ♥  ♥

 

1. YSL's Touche Éclat -- it's promise: 'Capture eight hours of sleep with the click of a pen'

2. Benefit's High Beam -- perfect for all complexions & all skin tones

3. Chanel's ÉCLAT-LUMIÈRE -- a concealer, brightener & highlighter all in one

4. MAC Strobe Cream -- Brightens and clarifies with iridescent particles and antioxidants

5. Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector -- creates instant radiance and vitality and reduces imperfections

-- Cleverly reflecting light out, when placed under your eyes dark circles will disappear

-- Applied to the bridge of your nose, more light will be brought to the center of your face

-- Your cheeks will subtly catch the light as you move, creating wonderfully high cheek bones

-- For a perfectly plump pout, apply a small amount to your cupids bow -- instantly fuller lips

Sugary sweet

Sugary sweet, full of pastel delights-- after the magic of Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2012 runway show {featuring a BEYOND wonderful carousel} the campaign did not disappoint. . .

Porcelain skin & glittering headbands, broderie anglaise & soft petal embellishments; delectably sweet handbags & so much sweet feminine charm-- adore the return of ladylike dressing. . . Thank you, Mr Jacobs.
