Tumblr

I have recently signed up for tumblr and i think i can regrettably say that I am addicted to it! 


Check it out - tiptoptiffy.tumblr.com 


and if you like, you may follow me!  I just like to express myself through pictures and immediate thoughts. However I do find blogger more meaningful because i feel that here, i can really go into detail. 


But yes, a post to all tumblrs :) X

Bobbi Brown

Review

I bought these two items in Selfridges on Christmas Eve! I've always dreamed of getting Bobbi Brown after hearing unbelievable amounts of great reviews and now I have the actual products to see for myself. 

Obviously, when wearing foundation I must always wear primer beforehand. These two things are like a pair inseparable and the pot of cream above is the Bobbi Brown hydrating cream/moisturiser which can also be used as a primer. 

The cream is excellent and contains natural ingredients. e.g. algae extract. It leaves my face moisturised and soft for the whole day when applied once in the morning which is perfect for me because it means I don't have to touch up on my make up. It's a beautiful pot may I say with a lovely Royal like badge imprinted on the lid! I love detail :). Anyway, i find that the skin absorbs the cream very well and it is not watery. It is of a medium thick consistency which makes the product last longer on the skin!

The foundation (most important product) is flawless! As Bobbi said, her foudations are yellow based colours. I could see that very clearly when I first applied the foundation, however, it did not make my face go yellow. When I saw the yellow tint, I was a bit frightened at first because I thought my face would look quite fake, however when I actually blended it in with my skin and properly smoothed the foundation out, my face looked extremely natural and flawless! A little definitely goes a long way! Don't be fooled by the colour you see at first because the colours definitely do become natural and match with your skin tone eventually! Better than any other foundation I have tried so far and I recommend this to everyone. The foundation is called Skin Foundation SPF15. I'm glad there is SPF because it means I don't have to add greasy sun lotion on my face. The foundation is for normal/dry/combination skin. There are other Bobbi Brown products for oily skin as well!

Happy New Year 2011 from the UK

I've always watched the fireworks at midnight, but I can definitely say that these ones for 2011 were the best fireworks I have ever seen by far! The patterns, the art, the display, the music and colours were off the track! It was an incredible performance! Don't miss it, its a must-watch!

Happy New Year everyone! So far things have been going great for me! Received a Daisy Marc Jacobs LTD edition pop version today in the post and all my music has been restored on my iPhone (thought it was lost).

New Years Eve

Went to London on New Years Eve to shop the sales!

I spotted these really cool TVs in Selfridges, London

Bad quality sorry! It was just so crowded so I couldn't stop to take a picture (oxford street)

All tucked in

Undoubtedly, skirts never fail to enhance the female body, however wearing trousers is a very different story. Unless you know how to select the right trousers for your body and outfit, then you can look just as feminine and gorgeous than wearing skirts. 

High waisted chino trousers from Mango

Something which I am seeing everywhere in stores, magazines, blogs and TV are the chino/ tapered/ pleated trousers and even hareems (which many shy away from). One major feature which I encourage all the time on tapered trousers is to wear the (high) waisted ones where yes your top gets tucked in! It's stylish and it makes your waist look smaller. They can be worn very smartly to work in a stylish and fashionable way which I believe that more women should wear!

Sex and the city 2

I hope that everyone had a meaningful, relaxing and lovely Christmas and hopefully grabbed their opportunity at the sales which started on Boxing Day.

I watched Sex and the City 2 late last night and two words to describe my instant reaction: LOVE IT

It will particularly appeal to the fashionable, materialist and scenic loving people because the shots of how Abu Dhabi was perceived in the film are incredible! I must add great emphasis on the hotel in which the 4 girls stayed at! What of course took me most away was the clothes and the numerous outfits scene after scene! Gorgeous louboutins, silk cream hareems and beautiful maxi dresses, especially the one which Carrie wore in the official advertisement of the posters. I love the closet in Big and Carrie's apartment (favourite feature of course) because it was bright, had large Mirrors, double doors and you could feel the lovely atmosphere which a pile of clotheS brings to you. The outfits are definitely better than the first, I loved the creative use of the hats and a cameo of Penelope Cruz acting as a banker shows the effort and star quality the film brought. As usual and always, Cruz was effortlessly stunning (not fair, but since when was life ever that way?)

It was a very funny film, but I think I can say that because I am easily pleased! Largely entertaining and keeps me grounded to be devoted to fashion, personality and creativity! For those who haven't watched it, nows the time to BUY it because it will be the puchase well worth the money than any other fashion, chic, comedy film.

Pre-Xmas SALES

Stores such as:

• Topshop
• Urban Outfitters
• Asos
• Miss Selfridge
• Selfridges
• Lipsy
• Office

are offering brilliant sales as would be on Boxing Day in stores! At least all are 50% or more!
Grab your chance while you can before everyone else does! Wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year :) I'm sure many other stores are doing the same!

BOOKMARC

Yes, it really is a Marc Jacobs book store

It really is a bookshop with books in, smile to that!

Opening the shop and I'm in love with him :P

The coolest notebooks you will ever come across

Stylish large tin pencil case

More lovely notebooks

Visit the Marc Jacobs website to see what other cool things they have in the store. This includes pencil cases, colouring pencils and BOOKMARC totes to put your lovely books in! It is in the 'special items' section, but please note, not everything listed is in the BOOKMARC store.


The store is at:
400 Bleecker Street 
West 11th
New York 10014-2452

This will certainly be my new destination to shop for stationary and books. It sounds and looks very cool to go to, and it has also been said that Marc Jacobs may open up a cafe or a restaurant! What can't this awesome stylish and lovable man do? 

Women in black

The photos below show that dressing all in black does not have to give the impression that you are "emo" or "gothic" which people tend to shy away from. You can pull it off in a way that shows you are sophistacated, sexy and confident. Black is a classic colour and will never fail to make a great presence of yourself in a crowd! Photos below from Caroline's Mode proves the power and fantastic style which just the colour black itself can bring!

My favourite - this woman looks classy, smart and confident at the same time

Showing how black looks great by a cool and casual style

This woman has really made her mark with the colour by working with the shades of black.
She looks very charismatic here

I love this. Black shows it can be sweet, practical and complimentary.

Rihanna

She is the bomb for red hair

She pulls off green amazingly well (compliments her skin tone)

And of course is gorgeous and has an amazing figure
