The Vintage Look

I have decided I must try out different make up looks to be slightly adventurous. Today I tried to mimic Dita Von Teese's make up, but I didn't end up looking like her at all due to my olive skin (damn you Arabic genes.) That's part of the reason I put the pictures in black and white - but I think it just adds to the vintage feel anyway. Dita has strong dark eyebrows, thick liner with a straight flick, bright ass red lipstick and a little fake black beauty mole below her eye. She always wears false lashes too, but I don't actually own a pair because my lashes are pretty long anyway. I think this is such a lovely look, I'm definitely going to try to do some vintage hairstyles too. 


















I look more rockabilly here due to the scruffy hair and handkerchief headband. Oh well! 

Do you like vintage make up/hair styles? Maybe you should try it out too!

Home Accessories: Ebay Finds














Having a tidy, clean and pretty home makes me feel so much more relaxed and happy. Unfortunately home accessories seem to be so expensive these days, so I had a look on eBay to try and find a bargain. Firstly I found these 40 led battery powered fairy lights (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181042088310?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) for £4.98 which is the cheapest I've been able to find. I bought two, one set winding around my bed frame and the other around my old Victorian mirror in the living room. They're so pretty! 

I also found this mirror. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390603423904?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) How cool is this mirror!? It's for my dressing table and I think it's so old fashioned and decorative. It cost me £22.95 but I honestly think it's worth it.

What homeware bargains have you found recently?
