New Project - Fashion Prints (personalised)

Hello my lovely's, I thought I'd just briefly let you in on a little secret of mine, well it's not a secret it's a project that hasn't really been set up just yet and no ones helping me with it. It's just me putting a few idea's together, as I have previously mentioned in another blog posts, I am extremely interested in photography and is one of my many passions, then why don't I let you all see it and expand it. I have started to create personalised fashion quote prints, if that makes sense, but this is only one part of it, and I thought why not target amazing fashion and beauty bloggers. I've popped a couple below of my favourite YouTubers, if your interested in having one then just email streetorchic@gmail.com and we can discuss they come mounted and framed, or just the print glossy or matte if you prefer and different sizes. Hopefully look forward to hearing from you!

Beauty | January Favourites (so far)

So usually I'm really bad with keeping up a good skin care routine or using fancy bath products but recently I've been experimenting a little bit more than usual and have really been loving some good products and I know it's only the 19th of January, hence why I wrote the "(so far)" in the header, because I just had to share with you what I'm loving before something distracts me and you don't get another blog post till next year. So if you're interested keep reading.

1. Toni&Guy, Prep Heat Protection Mist

 

I'm really precious about my hair since it's grown quite long and I'm really liking it, but as I said I'm really precious about it's quality and healthiness. I've come along way with my hair and it's still a little damaged so I'm trying not to damage it any further, therefore I'm really into trying out products to protect and am quite into this one mainly because my hair is really think and can get quite heavy and this product doesn't way it down which is the best thing for my hair.

 

2. One Direction, You&I Perfume

 

First point about this perfume is that the bottle is incredible which is important for me because I love to display them in my room, so well done on the design 1D, and second point obviously is that he scent it amazing, like literally amazing, I love it and can't get enough of it. I think I'm quite bad at describing scents but I would say it smells quite fruity and fresh just as I like it.

 

3. Revlon, Nail Enamel Polish 'Vixen'

 

This was my favourite nail polish all of last winter and is now my favourite this winter again and even think I wore it throughout summer because it's just the perfect dark shade and it's elements are really good such as easy application and fast drying. Only downside it can go quite matte but slap a little shine coat over and it's all good.

 

4. Mabelline, Master Graphic Liquid Maker Eyeliner

 

Now I am really, really bad at applying a winged eye liner, I am just super useless and those tiny applicators on most liquid liners however after buying this product I have it spot on, it's super easy to use and would 100% recommend especially because it's super cheap as well. Only downside be careful because it could create a thick line but if you like that sort of look then great.

 

5. KIKO, Purifying Scrub

 

As I was saying at the start of this post I'm really poor at keeping up a skin care routine but I've started using this scrub, not everyday because I don't want to remove my skin completely but about once or twice a week just the refresh and get the dead skin off and I'm loving it. I also have really sensitive skin but this hasn't made me break out or anything so good product.

 

6. Baylis & Harding, Sweet Mandarin & Grape Fruit luxury shower crème

 

As I said I have really sensitive skin and not just on the face but everywhere so I'm not really allowed to use any bath products, or if I do it has to be sensitive based but I brought this really cool gift set for my mum at Christmas time and obviously stole some of it and loving it. It doesn't irritate my skin and smells amazing!

 

7. Chanel, Perfection Lumiere Velvet Foundation

 

I have been using this foundation since last August, since buying it in the airport and have used nothing else, so firstly don't be put of the size of the bottle it lasts a long time. Also it's super light on the skin and doesn't break my skin out and lastly it's great coverage. Definitely a good investment.

 

8. Amazon Fashion Base, Brushes

 

I picked out these brushes that actually come in a set of 10 on Amazon, which I will actually link, they only cost about £7, and they are really good, don't get me wrong there not as good as Real Techniques but for so many brushes at such a cheap price they are decent and worth trying out.

9. Dazed Magazine

 

You can't see it very well in the photo but my favourite magazine this month, well actually last month, but still loving it is Dazed, front covered by the beautiful Kendall Jenner. As you might know I am an aspiring Fashion Photographer, therefore this magazine is perfect for my because it's full of great photos, so check it out, it's worth it.

 

l'art de la photographie'

One of my favourite things to do is to take photos, it's my hobby, my passion and hopefully my career. Taking photography as a career is probably to most daring thing to do because you're never safe, in my opinion. Obviously if your Tim Walker or Bill Cunningham for example then your fine but starting off you really have to make people notice you and your work of course. Creativity is the key to being noticed, and it only comes with time and learning more about the industry. I'm only starting out and I haven't got that far just yet because it takes time, something that I haven't really got at the moment but I'm trying, same time I haven't got to be posting posts all the time but I'm getting there. I thought I'd just post some of my favourite photos I've shot in the past and I'd appreciate it and would love it, if you could give me your opinions. I see myself as a fashion/travel photography. I don't like to just be fashion because I enjoy travelling to different cities where I take really cool photos and don't want them to go to waist, hope you like! To see more of my photography I was be creating a new page so please go have a look a tell me what you think. Thanks!

Model Takeover #2 - Kendall Jenner

Back again after a long time of no posting, it's just such a busy time and it feels so good to just sit down and have some time to write some stuff for you. It would really be a miracle if I could do this as a career, I'd love it! But unfortunately im not that advanced or shall I say liked to make this my full time job. I have another model takeover for you today and she's one of my favourite definitely the best out of the Kardashian clan even though she's a Jenner, but you know what I mean. If you haven't seen my last model takeover this is just me basically showing you a few of my favourite outfits they've worn and I really can't pick one because she looks amazing in everything it's unreal.

 

My personal style is a little rock n roll channelling pink chic girly girl sorta thing, if you know what that sort of style looks like, it always changes really, but I love this look on Kendall, she has got some of my favourite pieces of which unfortunately I cannot afford, the Balenciaga patent shoes and Celine tote are my fav's! And loving this quirky "HELLO" jumper it's so cool, topped of with this grey fedora at to add that chic touch.

 

 

AMEN! this is literally me in an outfit, I cannot explain how much I love it. It's just so simple and effortless and I do no have those long, slim legs but who cares I'm going to wear this! And im not to sure where Kendall got these boots from, (help me out people?) but I found an exact copy on Zara.

 

ZARA high-heeled leather cowboy bootie £79.99

 

 

This amazing beauty has so many incredible red carpet looks so I've picked out my favourite few, including this one which rocked the boat a little, I mean who could rock without making a fool of yourself better then Kendall Jenner, know one that I know for sure.

 

 

 

 

This is the other favourite red carpet looks, because I'm loving this makeup look, and the outfit of course but she looks great in everything. It's obvious she's wearing makeup and has an amazing makeup artist but she always chooses to simple side to red carpet looks, and she looks incredible.

Model Takeover #1 - Gigi Hadid

Are you all ready my lovely, amazing readers, because it's time for model takeover to begin. To be honest you probably reading this thinking "what is the crazy girl going on about", and your probably right, there's no flash, fancy personal interviews with the ladies, which I wish there was, maybe one day, but just me giving you a little insight into my favourite models of the moment and a few of their best style pics borrowed from my lovely friend Google, of course.

So the first beautiful lady is Gigi Hadid, who hasn't always been on my model radar, but only until that Pirelli magazine photograph was released she was on fire. Gigi isn't one of the major super models...yet, but she will soon be, she's got such natural beauty its disgusting, and she always rocks an outfit even if its as basic as a white tee she looks incredible.

 

This is one of my favourite casual street style outfits I've seen Gigi wear, because although were working some pointed leather ankle boots, with a sheer pin strip midi dress she rocks it so effortlessly. 

 

 

Now this is what I'm talking about when I say she even looks amazing in a basic tee, but I love the way she's also paired it with some high waist leather skinnies and some nude courts, I love me some leather!

 

 

I wouldn't particularly wear these trousers myself but teamed with this amazing monochrome, midriff bearing Chanel jacket it looks amazingly, incredible.

 

 

This is the first photo I've seen of Gigi that screams girly, even though there's still no sign of pink but who cares because she is looking gorgeous! and her hair also looks super cute in a side plait. Love it!

Fashion | Victoria Secrets 2013 Past Highlights

So as the Victoria Secret Fashion Show comes closer I thought what a better time to look over the past shows, but focusing on last years in 2013, because it was my favourite show they've done because obviously it just gets better every single year, and it's not stopping. 2014 will definitely be the year to remember or shall I say the best so far. If you didn't already know the show has been moved to London, my home city which feels great and just this morning the Victoria Secret Angels have touched down, and I'm guessing super excited to be in such an amazing city. The show will be airing on the 9th of December on CBS, which I'm pretty sure is an American channel which us Brits can't get over here, so if I'm wrong please comment and update me, because I'm always watching a day late on YouTube which just isn't the same but still pretty darn cool. So get ready for some 2013 Victoria Secret Fashion Show Highlights my friends!

 

 I love all the angels and think their all absolutely stunning, however by far Candice is my favourite, she is just such an incredibly fierce, beautiful woman who rocks the runway all the time. And this highlight my friends is the $10 million dollar fantasy bra, which is quite crazy , I mean 10 MILLION DOLLARS!

 

 

Taylor Swift fiercely rocking out in the British segment of the show, which can I say was super awesome. I feel like I'm talking extremely American today on this post but it suits it well I suppose. So yeah she rocked.

 

 

This was hot! Adriana Lima strutting down the runway in red feather wings in the Parisian Nights segment, it was just incredible. And can I say the thing I love about the Victoria Secret show, even though there is so much controversy over their poster campaigns of having all skinny girls, if you read and watch interviews and all that jazz about the models, they work really hard at there bodies, and they look really healthy, strong women and have a good healthy lifestyle. Rant over.

 

 

Another Adriana Lima look, haven't got much to say because she loves amazing and I loved this look.

 

 

Behati and those wings! She was on fire. Actually opposite she was more like snow but you get what I mean, she rocked it and who saw Adam Levines reaction to his beautiful 'then' fiancé (now wife, obvs).

 

 

Obviously Cara had to be involved in this post because she from my home city, rocking all her Britishness over on the American Catwalk and she always looks incredibly beautiful, everybody loves a bit of Cara.

 

So I hope you enjoyed looking and reading about my VS fashion show 2013 highlights, is was 100% my favourite show so far and cannot wait for this years. If you love models then do come back for my Model takeover, which will be packed full of our classic super models Kate Moss and our new and upcoming models such as Cara, Jourdan Dunn, Gigi Hadid and tons more where I skim through there model highlights, personal style and beauty, don't miss out!

Hair | 60s inspo

 

 

As I am preparing or shall I say training to become a hair stylist, it's really useful for me to check up on all new hair updates and styles, which I loved doing before I decided to train because I've always loved doing different styles with my own hair. My favourite decade for hair has to be the 60s, who doesn't love a beehive,I honestly thought it was and is the most flattering hair style, obviously ladies with shorter hair the beehive may be quite difficult and you may be quite limited but you all still look gorgeous, just rock the short do. To create these sixties looks you'll need a hell load of volume spray, hold spray and a back combing brush, and one of my favourite products is Label M resurrection dust to create that texture, give it a go and rock it!
