FALL FASHION: MASTERING THE ART OF LAYERED KNITWEAR

Here's the video on knitwear layering, as promised. In the photo (from the video's intro), I'm wearing two of my favorite pieces right now: the Hush Cardigan Coat and my Whistles animal print sweater. You know that great feeling when you find something you've been wanting for ages? That's exactly how I feel about these…

Becca Ombre Nudes Eyeshadow Collection

I've been talking a lot about the Becca Ombre Nudes palette lately, and I wanted to share why I like it so much and why it’s worth considering. There are plenty of matte, neutral-toned eye palettes out there, but the Ombre Nudes stands out because its shadows are densely pigmented yet easy to blend—not a…

Is Eye Cream Essential? A Comparison to Car Care

There's a debate in the beauty world about whether eye creams are worthwhile. Some people think it's unnecessary to buy a separate eye cream and just use their usual face serum and moisturizer around the eyes. Others, like me, prefer having a specific product for that area. I have two main reasons for using a distinct…

SUMMER STYLE REFRESH: THE SHIRT DRESS AND LIPSTICK COMBO

I've received tons of kind comments about the dress I wore in my May Favourites video, and I have to say, those words really lifted my spirits. It's a challenge to find nice outfits when you're breastfeeding, especially with postpartum body changes making fashion choices tricky after having a baby. So, thank you all. The dress…

Styling My Edun Dress for an Elegant Day at the Henley Regatta

Remember that Edun dress I got from ASOS? The one I was unsure about? I decided to keep it, and it's become a favorite! I wore it recently to the Chinawhite enclosure at the Henley Regatta. It was scorching hot, and even in my loose-fitting silk dress, I was really feeling the heat. My hair…

CAN MID-LENGTH HAIR EVER ACHIEVE PERFECTION?

Is there anyone who procrastinates more than someone with mid-length hair wondering whether to cut or grow it? It's like being cursed! When my hair is stuck between jawline and shoulder, I constantly debate the pros and cons of going shorter—it looks so good styled—or longer—it’s easy to manage and tie back. I'm always asking…

Top Face Masks for Skin Renewal

Sometimes, I want something a bit more intense for my skincare routine. I usually go for gentle products, but during my pre-period week or when I've been overindulging in cheese or staying up late, my skin needs something quick and effective. Enter exfoliating, resurfacing face masks. They might seem a bit old-fashioned now with their AHA…

My Apologies for the Festivities…

I know, using "partying" as a verb can be cringeworthy, kind of like "holidaying." I had it printed on a Milly NY t-shirt that said "Sorry for Partying." I wish I had time to actually party; lately, the closest I've come is enjoying a couple of glasses of red wine at my local Turkish restaurant.…

“Fortune Seeker, Dawn Fragrance, and a Bold Crimson Pout”

Let's chat about the BBC drama "Gold Digger" and a striking red lipstick. Odd combination, I know, but I was sidetracked while filming a makeup video. Throughout, I somehow veered into talking about Tom Hardy, morning breath, and some questionable storylines. Hang tight, we'll tackle the lipstick first. After all, the holiday season is nearing,…

LE MAT DE CHANEL: EXQUISITE JUMBO LIP CRAYON

I've been wanting to write about Chanel's Jumbo Longwear Lip Crayons for some time, and the arrival of what might be my perfect lipstick shade—"Discretion" from the AW18 collection—made it more pressing. This shade is simply amazing; it's a pale peachy-nude that looks creamy and full even with its matte finish. Chanel’s Jumbo Lip Crayons are…
