A la garçon-ish

Hello everyone,

First of all I want to give a warm welcome to the new followers! I am so happy and really flattered with your lovely comments. Thank you all so much!

Today's outfit was about playing with a slightly masculine look, I love being girly but some days I love showing my masculine side too. LOL.

Anyways, I just love my flat caps and this one is a favourite of mine. I bought it at Topshop many years ago and it was my first. Ohhhh, it's just so cute with pale pink polka dots on... It completely made me fall in love with the whole Mary Poppins chimney sweeper look.

I wanted to keep it looking a bit girly too, so I am wearing a mesh vest which is quite sheer, it's actually underwear from Valisere back home in Brazil (one of the best in the world in my opinion) but it doesn't matter too much because my bra looks like a bikini.

Teamed up with some little heels.

Keeping it simple today, that was the idea.

Lip gloss

Lip gloss is a cosmetic product used primarily to give lips a mildly glossy lustre and sometimes subtle color. It is distributed as a liquid or a soft solid (not to be confused with lip balm, which generally has medicinal purposes). It can be completely clear, translucent, or various shades of opacity, including frosted, glittered, and metallic looks.
The first commercially available lip gloss was Max Factor's X-Rated, launched in 1932. The original formula was sold up until 2003, when Procter and Gamble retired the product.
Lip gloss in a tube and wand applicator format
Like lipstick, lip gloss comes in a variety of forms and may be applied in different ways. It can be contained in a small cylindrical bottle and applied with a rounded or sloped applicator wand (known as a doefoot applicator), be applied with a built in lip brush, or a small tube designed for application with the fingertip. Solid glosses come in boxes and tubes, sometimes blurring the distinction between lip gloss and lip balm.
New types of 'plumping' lip gloss contain ingredients which make the lips appear softer and plumper. These are a cheap, easy, and harmless alternatives to collagen, Restylane, Juvederm, and/or fat injections, but are often not as effective. The effects are temporary and short-lasting.

Happy find at Stella McCartney

Hiya,

So here is a picture of my new dress, the one I have bought at the Stella McCartney sale... with a lot of rummaging I came across this one and it was totally love at first sigh!

A simple cute shirt dress, perfect for day wear, caught my eye because it has a quite Westwood-ish cut.

Fabulous!

Lip liner

Lip liner is a cosmetic product. It is intended to fill uneven areas on the outer edges of the lips after applying lipstick, therefore giving a smooth shape. The product is usually sold in a retractable tube or pencil form. As an additional effect the lipliner prevents the lipstick applied thereafter from bleeding.
Lip Stain A lip stain is a cosmetic product that contains either water or a gel base. To help the product stay on the lips, many stains may contain alcohol. These lip coloring products are available in a variety of formulas, colors, and application types. The idea behind lip stains is to temporarily saturate the lips with color with a dye, rather than applying a colored wax to the lips to color them. A lip stain is usually designed to be waterproof so that the color will be long lasting, and once the stain dries, it should not smear, stain, wear unevenly, or transfer to the teeth. A lip stain may come in a bottle with an applicator which is used to brush the stain onto the lips, and it can also come in a small jar, with users applying the stain with a finger or a cosmetic brush.

Fragrance

Perfume is a mixture of fragrant essential oils and aroma compounds, fixatives, and solvents used to give the human body, animals, objects, and living spaces a "pleasant" smell.
The word perfume used today derives from the Latin "per fumum", meaning through smoke. Perfumery, or the art of making perfumes, began in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt and was further refined by the Romans and Persians.
Although perfume and perfumery also existed in India, much of its fragrances are incense based. The earliest distillation of Attar was mentioned in the Hindu Ayurvedic text Charaka Samhita. The Harshacharita, written in 7th century A.D. in Northern India mentions use of fragrant agarwood oil.
The world's first recorded chemist is considered to be a woman named Tapputi, a perfume maker who was mentioned in a cuneiform tablet from the second millennium BC in Mesopotamia.[1] She distilled flowers, oil, and calamus with other aromatics then filtered and put them back in the still several times
