Make Up from Vicky's, Zamzama

This post is not for make up brand snobs, hehe.

So I went to Vicky's on Zamzama a while back and got a bunch of cosmetics that are locally available.

I got 3 Etude eyeshadows (they've changed their name to something else now), these are great for a traditional bridal look and I really liked the pigmentation, stays on for ages. Got 2 Color Studio Professional lipsticks (ones a light pink shade, and the other is a bright orange, will just edit the post with the numbers). A whole bunch of Enchant 'peel off' nail polishes, I thought these are GREAT for travel, as they peel off quite easily and you don't need to carry nailpolish remover around, although that being said, the downside is that if you bang your nail somewhere the coat chips/peels too quick, anyway I loved the fun range of colours and they were sooo cheap (Rs.150). I got some for my 12 year old cousin too, and she loved it. Also got Essence eyelashes, I tried these on over the weekend and they stay really well and are just the right length. I'll be buying/using them again!!!

Trend: Collars

Dating back from the Elizabethan/Shakespearean era to the runways of Fashion Week; Peter Pan collars have been in style for a while, but separate collars and collar necklaces have taken the fashion world with a storm. Even Louis Vuitton and Chanel have made their versions:

 (LV)

These collars can be anywhere from plain to embellished. Top Shop and Asos have produced great collars, but my favourite collar designer would have to be Gemma Lister. She makes the most equisite pieces in different fabrics, with different embellishments (See Below). Check out her website here for more detailed pictures and to purchase of course. Her collars have been spotted on many celebrities and on runways. My personal fav from the image below is the navy velvet and rhinestone collar.

The collars I currently own is from Top Shop, will post some pics as to how to wear the collar soon - so stay tuned.

Style Stalker: Bella Vita Launch

So a new ice cream parlour has opened in town (Zamzama).

Below are a few pictures taken by Mutahir Mahmood (O'Shoot Photography) that capture the ambiance and Italian touch of Bella Vita. This is followed by a picture of the stunning Faiza, who was the fashionista of the ball, wearing a stunning Rizwanullah dress.

                                     

Love the use of wood on the wall and ceilings, as well as the wooden pillars (I have a thing for pillars)  - the interior is very tastefully done.

She has carried off the dress beautifully. 

By the way I would like to congratulate Mutahir - he has been termed the best Pakistani photographer for couple shoots.  Well done!! If you haven't already then check out his facebook page here.

I Love My Shoes: Trend: The Smoking Slipper

So this trend has been in for a while and it's not going away any time soon. A few of my personal favs are House of Harlow, Sam Edelman, Top Shop, Alexander McQueen, Charles Philip Shanghai, Charlotte Olympia and Cole Haan. Prada has some really nice ones too. Even Zara is doing GORGEOUS studded smoking slippers and of course Top Shop has made some fabulous pairs as well that have been spotted on many celebrities.
