Work it Out: Installment Douze

Yet again the BBC lied to me by telling me it would rain all day. I think they should do their regular forecast and then change it to the opposite when they publish it, and then maybe they would get it right for once! I may be giving myself away here, but I am one of those strange people that checks the forecast every evening and every morning.. but I have my reasons. Curly hair! Enough said ;).

Dress: ASOS (in the designer section, but very obscure make). Jacket: Zara. Belt: Reiss. Necklace: Juicy Couture (a little wish bone pendant with script wrapped around it).

Makeup wise, even though I usually stick to the same things as I grapple bleary eyed around my desk in the morning, I do try to switch a few products up every day. As I am losing my tan (sob sob) I have started mixing YSL teint resist (lightest shade) with my Dior Forever foundation. Not only does it give a sheerer coverage, but it sinks straight into the skin so I can slap it on messily with my fingers and minimal time is needed to blend. For blush I have been loving MAC's peachy keen and ELF mineral blush in pink. Liquid eyeliner can make a horrible mess if you aren't careful, so the eyeko eyeliner (read felt tip) is used pretty much every day. For lips I have been obsessed with the Beaute weightless lip cremes. The colours are so soft and beautiful and they look really natural on the lips - without the heaviness of a lipstick or the gloopiness of gloss ;).

What are your must have products on sleepy mornings? xxx

Fall yet? Perfect Shorts Suit.

This is the same moss green shorts I bought last year and still love it so much today. It is a classic look - cuffed shorts. I don't have many shorts and shorts I do buy or keep are those either have great cuts or pretty colors that are hard to come by.

This link below will take you to my original post and as shown on FabSugar.com

How timeless a piece can be when bought at chain stores??

I wore shorts suit two days in a row. .... why?

Suffice it to say that it is just too hot to wear anything else!!! 2nd, too cold to NOT wearing a cover-up in the air-conditioning room such as doing grocery shopping at supermarkets. 3rd, I found this HM draped jacket is almost exactly the same shade as Zara's shorts. So I think they are a meant-to- be, why not just throw them together!! ^^

Now, onto my new Chanel purchases. Nothing fancy....

Chanel Duo tweed coral blush
2010 fall Paradoxal nail polish (kinda purple/brown/taupe all mixed with)

The blush is actually very sheer and subtle. It also can work as high-lighter.

Side story: There laid an anonymous egg on my vanity desk that my kids found in our back yard. From its size, I think it is a bird's egg. I don't know what to do w/ it ..... But one thing for sure is that the egg won't be hatched under my big butt!! lol
