Work Wardrobe

I need a new work wardrobe....

http://w ww.net-a-porter.com/product/188145

I love a striped dress, and this one is £100 By Malene Birger, am sorely tempted as I lusted after a Sonia Rykiel one last year and never bought it and regretted it ever since. It could be worn bare legs and sandals, black tights and boots, over skinny jeans....(trying to justify it to myself).

I do however need to get loads on new clothes for work instead of spending money on other things. On the list of things for work wear are these Hobbs Kendall trousers, expensive but a definite investment. Can be worn with Breton stripes, as well as sheer blouses.

I have spied some pencil skirts from Zara too that I want to invest in...but which one to choose?

There is also this spotty one from Topshop...

The only thing about wearing a pencil skirt is that you have to wear heels, which of course means NEW SHOES!!

Vogue Paris Website relaunch

Emmanuelle Alt and the editors from Vogue Paris star in this Wham video...as well as several models doing their bit as backing singers. The video is for the re-launch of the Vogue Paris website, check it out at www.vogue.fr I think its really good to see that even the editors of Vogue don't take themselves too seriously, although I really can't imagine Anna Wintour doing something like this!

The Perfect Eyebrows

A bit of a new obsession for me at the moment are eyebrows and how to make mine look like Cara Delevingne's. The lovely Katie at Benefit managed to make mine look like the above*, but try as I might I can't get them to look like that myself! I have the "Browzings" kit and have been doing what she said to do (start in the middle with a flat edge and then brush out following the natural shape of the brow) but I just end up looking like a child has attacked my eye area with a brown crayon. I am going back for another lesson on the 19th Feb, so hopefully she will show me again.

* Apologies about the picture, I look very grumpy as it took me ages to take a photo which I didn't look cross eyed in!

Sheer Magic

I am always on the look out for the perfect blouse, and here are two very decent ones from H&M. They are a semi sheer fabric, so a vest underneath is definitely need. They are £24.99 each, which can't really be argued at. Looks great tucked into trousers or a pencil skirt...more on those topics coming soon! Roll on pay day, when one of these (probably the navy one as I have super pale skin) will be finding its way into my wardrobe.
