Lets go back to the 80's, man!

Totes! I think the 80's should make a come back, and not just in the editorial world. sure, you see 80's tributes in magazines, and on the catwalk, but no one is gutsy enough to bring it back in 'real life'. Not even I. Although one day I will do it, I just need a few drinks first maybe? :) I was googling 80's hair and makeup, because I like inspiration. I love big hair. I try to get my hair big before I go out - not stupidly backcombed big, like those girls who don't fully comprehend WHY you backcomb hair, but big in a sense of its volume, curls and personality. Hair should have personality!

When I'm talking about 80's I'm not meaning over the top hair and makeup a la Joan Cusack.

And I'm certainly not talking Madonna 80's - which is just messy!

No folks, I'm talking styled, colourful and fab! Perfect makeup, great hair. Debbie Harry is a great inspiration:

And if we're bringing it into the here and now I really LOVE the way Drew Barrymore plays with colour and volume:

But if all else fails, forget the 80's and just go Anime extreme. Which is what I plan to do. If I could ever pull this look off! haha!

Keep on truckin'

More Fashion and Makeup

YO!

So, I have noticed a trend in the blogs of mine that get the most views. It's the ones that have the coolest pictures! hehe. I am not all about getting views, but the knowledge that some 40 odd people have looked at my last fashion blog just this week is pretty cool. So I thought I'd do a follow up. Sorry guys... this one might be for the girls... unless you like scantily clad women... oh.. you do? Well stick around then! Jeez!

What with my gradual weight loss I have been thinking more about future wardrobe choices. As I am somewhat a casual bird - jeans and tops. And I live in my converse sneakers! But with my losing weight I feel that soon I will one day be able to comfortably take a dip in the nice fashion pool. I love dresses, but hate wearing them as I don't feel comfortable, but one day this year I will wear a nice dress and that's that! So, here are some pictures of some clothes I like.

Another topic I wanted to discuss is makeup. As some of you know I am a make up artist of sorts. And there are some great looks on the runways at the moment. (see below). I am not one to preach about products as its a totally personal preference. But I swear by Benefit. I love all their products.

This was the look stomping down the runway at Roberto Cavalli's show. You'd think this was simple and done to death, but getting someone to look like this is pretty difficult if you don't have the right face/tools it just won't work! I have tried to do this makeup on myself before but my eyes just won't take that much makeup. It doesn't look good on everyone sadly!

This is an Estee Lauder look - loving the almost copper eyes that are coming in. metallics are back baby!

Oh China Fashion Week... you tease me! You should google China fashion week. The stuff they come up with is SO good.
