...as one career chapter ends (bye-bye motor industry) and another is set to begin (hello telesales!), i've decided to use my week off to try out a few different looks. this one is gothy-chic, a slightly stronger look than my usual grungy-girly. purple lipstick, baggy jumper and cross necklace all take heed from the teen witch movie "the craft", if you're unfamiliar i suggest you march down to your nearest hmv and buy it NOW.

so...

here is a li'l montage of images that have influenced this look...

won't you take me to....

...funky nails! 

barry m nail varnishes £3.99 each

courtesy of barry m! ok so i might have taken the time to neaten the edges before i loaded this pic but it was going dark! soooo, first you apply your base coat (of course!) then your chosen colour. i've gone with barry m's instant effects gold. then comes the magic part...apply a coat of barry m's instant cracked effect and allow it dry. it goes on almost like a full colour (in this case black, but there are other colours available too!) but don't panic! after a few seconds it starts to separate into this "cracked" effect. instant false-look nails without the fear of breaking one off in your lovers bed...erm...well...that's just my opinion...x

kate moss monday...

...ok i'm aware it's tuesday. it just flowed nicely in my head. watching mary queen of frocks, sponsored  by moss's rimmel lipstick collection. and it got me thinking...when will this woman stop being so damn influential. kate moss that is, not mary portas. but please don't think i'm disrespecting portas, this entry just isn't about her. so anyways, rimmel is a make-up brand for young girls. moss is married with a nine year old in tow and on the wrong side of 35. despite being the face of rimmel for many years one might have thought that with the appearance of younger stars zooey deschanel and alexa chung in more recent campaigns, it was the end of moss's rimmel domination. and then bam! a new lipstick range with her name on it. maybe it was her recent marriage to the kills guitarist jamie hince that sparked a renewed interest in the british favourite, but whatever the reason behind rimmel's contract renewal, i think it's easy to see that despite her age, her settled family life, her cellulite, she's still kate moss - queen of the kids...but that's just my opinion...x
