A Fatal Attraction to Cuteness

What’s Been Happening?

I haven’t updated in ages – soz, you guys!

I’ve been super busy lately being ill and not in the “fully sick” kind of way. I’ve been having headaches for weeks now which is very unusual for me, I had a huge cyst in my nose and swollen eye and cheek. I had some antibiotics but it got worse so now I’m on more which are stronger and hopefully do the trick. If I don’t update for a while after this then I’ve probably died from a brain infection still been too busy.

To cheer myself up, I bought this adorable Miu Miu headband yesterday. The irony of buying a headband to fix my headaches is not lost on me. It’s from their 2013 Resort collection and I’m absolutely in love with it. Unfortunately, Miu Miu’s Sydney boutique is on my bus route so I’m tempted on the daily with bits and pieces in the window and finally caved. I own A LOT of headbands but nothing like this. Soooo pretty.

Speaking of pretty headbands, I debuted this divine George Giavis teddy bear one the other night for the launch of the brand spankin’ new Eclipse by ghd. I bought it at Charlie Brown on the Gold Coast and it is so me. I’ve always been addicted to teddy bear accessories – I love the silhouette of them. The George Giavis headbands are a really good fit, too. They’re not cheap but definitely worth the price and you can pick them up here or at Charlie Brown stores.

Here are a couple of other outfit shots from the night. My dress is from Bluejuice and the jacket is an old one from Review. Shoes are my go-to black pumps from Sergio Rossi and black Prada clutch.

Don’t remember taking this one. What the ffff?

I got sent this new white drawing pencil from Shu Uemura a couple of weeks ago so I decided to try it out. I don’t normally do black, silver and grey makeup but the white inspired me and I wanted to stick with the monochrome theme so I put the white on the inner corners of my eye to open them up and used Rimmel’s Kate Moss Union Jack palette for the main part of the lid. I’m also loving the new Rimmel Match Perfection foundation at the moment. It really does blend to your skin tone and it goes on smoothly, smells good and is a decent price. Winner.

You’re going to flip out over the new Eclipse. The demo video showed afro hair going to straight with just one ‘go’ of the ghd. I have very fine hair so I’m lucky but this is a blessing for girls (and guys!) with super curly or frizzy hair. Look at the picture below of one of the models from the night:

I’ll give you more information as I can later on and I’ll try to put up a post another post soon – I promise!
