Kevin Murphy

My hair has been behaving exceptionally well these past few weeks so in honor of that I thought I would share my two favorite styling products with you... Night rider and Easy rider by Kevin Murphy.

 Night rider is a matte texture paste that I mostly use after having curled my hair just to give it more hold. It's designed for short hair but in my opinion it works just as well on long locks. 

Whenever I decide to wear my hair naturally, which I've been doing a lot lately, I run some Easy rider through it to combat any frizziness and to give it that sleek and bouncy look. 

Alexander McQueen nude enamel skull clasp bangle

In one of my previous posts I told you that I had ordered a little something something in rose gold... well here it is!

 Dust bag that it came in 

 TA-DAAA!

 My only problem, if you even can call it that, is that the color doesn't really look the way it did on the website. On the website the background color looked nude or slightly pink but in reality and from these pictures you can clearly tell it's white. I'm not saying that I don't love it, it's just not exactly what I was expecting.

 So what do you guys think I should do? Keep, return or exchange?

Still loving rose gold

I've been wanting to add a bit of rose gold to my collection for the longest time. So yesterday I finally made the decision to order a little something something ;)

Hair Inspiration + St. Tropez Gradual Tanner

 Getting my hair cut in a few days... long layers and easy brushed out curls- LOVE IT! 

 My ridiculously pale body is gonna get a bit of a boost with the help of this little magic mousse- The St. Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan Mousse

 First thoughts: The smell is pleasant, quite strong since they've clearly used something to cover up the biscuit scent most tanners tend to have but it's by no means overwhelming. 

The mousse is super easy to apply and it dries in no time, unlike many lotions that take forever to be absorbed. Most importantly it doesn't irritate my skin... yet at least. I had a very bad experience with the Dove summer glow tanner last year. I did a patch test and it was fine but when I later applied it on my legs it didn't take long before the burning sensation started. Hopefully St. Tropez will be better, I'll keep you updated on how it goes.

Elle collections spring/summer 2012

Savile Row

"Labels say you're one of the boys but a bespoke suit says you're the man"

I remember standing outside one of the tailors on Savile Row last October. Looking down into a workshop, I was amazed by the beautiful and intricate work that was taking place right in front of my eyes. If you have some extra time I highly recommend watching this documentary. 

(This is part one of the first episode, you can find the rest of this episode as well as episodes two and three on youtube simply by typing savile row in the search box)

videos for the weekend

Here are two wonderfully inspiring videos for the weekend. Continuing on the subject of J.Crew, I placed an order yesterday which should arrive in 4-8 business days. Not too hard to guess what it is if you just go back a few posts.

Touch of spring

First day of spring tomorrow!

Wishing for...

Two things that I love and recently came across while reading various blogs. Necklace is by Juliet & Company and even though it's incredibly fancy I think it would be amazing with a simple everyday outfit. The J.Crew colorblock tee (also available in a different color) is a refreshing twist on an old classic perfect for spring.

Quick snapshots of today's outfit... well parts of it at least

01.02.2012- Personal Style

Here's a look at my personal style...

My closet consists of:

Blazers: 1 in black, royal blue, grey, beige and white as well as 2 in navy
Pants: mostly jeans in a dark single color wash like black or dark  blue. Also have a pair of leather trousers from Zara which I love
T-shirts: Have them in a variety of colors mostly white and black. I often buy them in a larger size because I like them to fit loosely since I often wear close-fitting jeans.
Knits: Everything from chunky sweaters to fine knit cardigans. My favorite is a chunky white sweater from Zara that I bought in London
Other tops: 3 loose long sleeve chiffon blouses, a few breton shirts, a button down shirt
Jewelry: Mostly in silver. Men's style watches, armour cuffs, statement necklaces, rings...
Bags/Accessories: I love to wear scarves. My 3 favorites are a thick cashmere scarf by Balmuir that I wear during the winter, a navy fringe scarf from Zara with silver trim and the midnight's owl by Athena Procopiou. Bags vary in size, shape and color. Everything from sequin clutches to large leather totes.

Would describe my style as...

Nothing better than a simple outfit! Jeans, t-shirt, blazer, shoes , bag and that's it

the price to pay

The pyramid or cone bracelets seem to be a clear favorite among the people who post "arm party" pictures. The Eddie Borgo bracelets retail at about 900€, which is way out of my price range so I'll definitely be looking for a more reasonable alternative.
