EYE-CANDY

Who wears glasses?? People with poor sight...not!!Fashion has given rise to a new meaning to the idea of “eye candy" Some fashionistas had better than twenty twenty vision before they even put glasses on. They had enough foresight to realize that the well-chosen eyewear can do as much for their public image as a brilliant agent or a starring role in a blockbuster film. Glasses have made librarians look dowdy for years and then someone decides that the bespectacled librarian is really the epiphany of sexy and everyone goes gaga over a pair of dark rimmed glasses. Large dark rimmed eye glasses are everywhere, were all wearing them, we all want the brilliant and sexy look, tangled all together in just one accessory that is chosen so utterly well. Glasses have been worn for no other purpose only to keep hair back, it wasn’t always “cool”. Who wears glasses??? Anyone with an image that needs tweaking, so really has a necessity actually now turn into a want? It’s just a prime example of how our society can do a complete 180 in terms of fashion. Even though I myself wear glasses, I am loving the fact that something I have to wear that was thought of as a nuisance is actually a blessing and I am thankful. J

Bella Throne Channels Her Inner Ballerina

She: Bella Thorne the Disney Star

Dress & Accessories: Maria Lucia Hohan Dress with silver platforms, silver chain bracelet
and necklace.

Location: Young Hollywood Awards in Hollywood, California the Disney star was certainly the belle of the ball.

Bella was feminine and elegant in her ballerina-inspired pale pink frock. The frock featured a corset top with a pleated, 
dainty skirt. Her strappy, silver heels reflected the gorgeous tone of the dress. Bella's choice of simple jewelry was a perfect
way to add to the look without taking any eyes away from that show-stopper dress.

A Wonderful Trip to Tokyo

Garance Dore is the most famous French blog. Garance began her blog in June 2006. She began as an illustrator, and became frustrated with the commissions she had, and in particular by the lack of contact with the readers. The blog allowed Garance a complete freedom of expression, while sharing the vignettes of her day and exploring fashion, illustration, narration and photography. Garance currently gets approximately 70,000 hits per day on her site. Garance Dore is currently dating Scott Schuman of the famed street style blog The Sartorialist.

Recently she was invited by Dior to travel to Tokyo with their bag, the Lady Dior. It was a wonderful trip, because the story of the bag helped to see the fashion life in Japan and meet artists.

This is the video from the trip!

Violent Lips

Violent Lips

By

Ibum Obu

Just when I thought we had run out of places to get tattooed on our bodies or accessorize, I came across “Violent lips”, another new and creative way to accessorize. It is a temporary lip tattoo that is safe for ages 3+, vitamin enhanced and lasts 4-8 hours depending on skin type and care. The product is FDA approved, contains no animal products and is tested on supermodels, not animals. It is easy to apply and can be removed by using baby oil or mineral oil with a textured wipe. If you’re feeling adventurous, it is another creative and fun thing to try especially if you have run out of ways to be creative with your lipstick and other make-up tools.

Violent lips uses strips of different designs of your choice which you can easily just paste on your lips without any complications, giving you a temporary new look if you get bored, especially for fashionistas who want to stand out. The variety of designs range from leopard, to fishnets, to sparkling colours and so many more!

The full collection can be viewed at the VIOLENT LIPS official website. So you may ask; are lip adornments the latest beauty trend? Well, British singer Jessie J recently sported Swarovski crystallized lips in her ‘Do It Like A Dude’ video, so we will just have to watch and wait for it. Personally I’m all for venturing out and trying new things.
