ON THAT DAY: GETTING GIRLY

How cotton candy of me. That's all I can say about this look. Oh how I have changed my look. :D

Tory Burch flats, Mango Dress

ON THAT DAY: WE ARE NEVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER

If it isn't obvious enough by the title of this post, I was inspired by the ever so gorgeous Taylor Swift. Her style is so chic and simple with a touch of feminine regal-ness.

ON THAT DAY: GETTING OLDER

I feel that my style is evolving into a more mature look. It is far from edgy but more conservative, I guess.

ON THAT DAY: BE BE MY LOVE

I don't really wear too many extreme feminine pieces day to day, but when I do, I go all out. I hope you like this look :)

TUTORIAL: "WIDE AWAKE" KATY PERRY INSPIRED TUTORIAL

I don;t really care what other people say, I think Katy Perry is pretty damn gorgeous. yeah sure she don't always sounds great live, but her lyrics are just amazing esp. on my favourite song, Thinking Of You. I died.

But this post is all about her new song Wide Awake, I think it is a very catchy tune, and her makeup is pretty different from what we are used to seeing her in. it is more dark, almost gothic with a touch of girly-ness.

TUTORIAL: NO MAKEUP MAKEUP. GET IT? :D

In my opinion, it is way harder to achieve a no makeup look than doing a smokey eye because you still need that bit of makeup but you need to maintain the sheerness and freshness of it. I love this type of makeup when I feel a bit low on energy or i just had a late night because it perks up the skin and face and trust me, it'll me you feel better :)
