Inspirations


 We didn't really know how to start this, but this is basically just about our inspirations. These are our most favorite people in the world! Inspirations are so important because they are what define who we are, and who we want to become. For us, they inspire and push us try out and think of new things that we may not of ever thought of before. We honestly don't know where we'd be without them!







Charli xcx is a fairly new and unknown singer, but we just love her!! She has a really unique voice and style. She's just amazing!



 Marina and the diamonds has been our favorite singer for over a year now. We love EVERYTHING about her! We don`t even know where to start! We love every song of hers, and every single outfit she`s ever worn- from bambi moomoos to 50`s beauty queen! She`s just adorable! There`s so much we want to say, but that would take up waaay to much space, so you should just look her up.




 Tavi Gevinson is teen blogger, who got into fashion when she was 11. She has a blog called style rookie, is the editor of the website Rookie, and recently came out with her first book, Rookie yearbook. All that and she`s only 16! She has a crazy sense of style, and really doesn`t care what anyone else thinks.





 Well, this isn`t really a inspiration so much as an obsession. We are in love with almost all of Miu Miu`s shoes. Just look at them, they`re amazing!






Meadham Kirchhoff is just awesome.

How to: 1960's makeup

The 1960's is one of our favourite time periods and we love the makeup, so we thought we  would do a 1960's inspired makeup look. 

First apply white eye shadow all over your eyelid.

Next apply a medium brown or grey eyeshadow in your crease and the outside corner of your eye, blend well.


Repeat the same process with a slightly darker colour to add depth. 
I did classic thick 60's eyeliner, but if u prefer it thin, do what makes you feel comfortable!  (using liquid eyeliner)


                                                
I curled her eyelashes, applied some mascara and finished the look off with a light pink lipstick.

If you want a more dramatic 60's look, apply black pencil eyeliner underneath the eye, white eyeliner in the waterline, and false eye lashes!


Thanks for reading!

How to: Make your shoes glittery!

Hey awesome people! We're gonna show you how to make amazing glittery shoes! It's super easy, and fun, and a great thing to do with your friends!

So, what you'll need to do this is glue, and glitter, some sort of tray, a brush, and of corse some shoes.We used two different types of glue, extra tacky glue and acrylic gloss, but you don't need both of them, we just ran out half way through and had to use the gloss.

For glitter any kind should work, but keep in mind that the smaller the glitter, the more smooth it will look on the shoes, and the bigger the glitter the more chunky it will look. You can buy glitter at the dollar store, or Michael's craft store.

 Now it's very important that the shoes you use don't have tons of straps and buckles on them because it will be really hard to cover in glitter, and will look gross and bumpy. 




Pour some glue into your tray, and then slowly add glitter in bit by bit.




It should look like this. Now mix it all up.



So now it will look like this. The next step is to take your brush and start painting it onto the shoes. Don't do really thick layers, it will take longer to dry and look weird. Thinner layers and lots of layers look better.





This is what they should look like after two layers, and don't worry about the glue, it will dry clear. Now all you have to do is wait for them to dry and then do another layer. Continue this until your shoes are totally covered. If you have any areas that have less glitter on them go over with your brush after they have dried to fix it up.




And this is the finished result!


So enjoy your new super-duper cool glittery shoes!

Obsessions!

Hello, we were gonna try to be serious and all dramatic, but it sounded stupid, so we gave up! There are two of us running this blog, we're both teenagers and love fashion, were not experts but we thought it would be fun to start a blog. We wont just talk about fashion though, We have lots of other interests which we will not get into, but there will most likely be lots of random post, you've been warned! Our current obsessions are glitter, multi coloured lipstick, and extremely girly things, our biggest inspirations are Rookie yearbook (Tavi Gevinson) Marina and the diamonds, Lana del rey, Bobbi brown makeup manual, and we also love vintage clothes, makeup, hair, at the moment the 1960s/1970s!
