I am still trying to ignore the winter and snow outside. That's why I am digging orange lips right now they remind me to focus on the upcoming holiday. If you like the orange "let's-escape-winter-look" as well, you can find a make-up tutorial for this look here. Through my new day job beside Blushless I decided to listen to my passion and the direction that life is pushing me through. That means I am about to start a new career as make up artist. It's not a completely new field for me but I will built a brand new portfolio and keep learning.

it is definitely winter

These are lifting me up: + First of all congratulations to winter bride Anna And The Ring, who just tied the knot, at the weekend. + I love the mug with the reindeer by Hudson's Bay x Geoff McFetridge, it reminds me that I will escape the winter soon towards hot Australia. + Orangey-red lipstick and glowing cheeks: A warm look that cheers me up and could do as bridal make up!? via Vena Cava + The words KOALA ROOFTOP & ROCK POOL that I discovered while planning the holiday. Yes, we are going on holiday! Yes I am going to meet the parents. The weather in London lately feels life threatening. For me. I am just not built for it. I know that some people don't mind winter and others even enjoy it. I am trying.

The smell of a Love Song

Tiempe Passate by Antonias Flowers is my favorite fragrance at the moment. It was named for a love song written by her grandfather in the 1920s. I tried to figure out more about the song but couldn't find any lyrics. Anyway it's an incredible unique sent with notes of bergamot, clementine, sage, mimosa, cyclamen, Montauk rose, white orris, cedar, vetiver and amber.

Dave was in need of a new super cool suit for an upcoming business trip and I have been totally thrilled to join him on the suit shopping tour. Really what I needed to lift me up and relax for a few hours from job hunting. Though I usually try to find smaller more independent brands, it's not too easy when it comes to suits, plus: our time was limited. We only had one afternoon to find the wonder suit. We couldn't have found a better more suitable piece. Fit, style, color everything was just right. So you grooms-to-be out there, check out Paul Smith for rad suit designs. And their staff in their flagship store was super helpful and great as well.
