Inspired by // Tokyo Fashion Harajuku Girl in All Black

I love following fashion - high fashion, street style, drag, you name it, it interests me. I have a few places I look for inspiration (books, magazine, websites) and one of my favourites is tokyofashion.com    an online magazine devoted to clothing, accessories, and style in Tokyo, Japan. I have a few looks that I have been inspired by in the last few weeks one of which is this one.... Harajuku Girl in All Black Fashion w/ Faith Tokyo, Vivienne Westwood & Vintage Items All black was always going to appeal to my aesthetic but so did the mix of modern and vintage pieces and the masculine cut of the trousers with the famine lacy camisole. I was so inspired I have been trawling the interwebs to pick a few pieces that you could put together to achieve a somewhat similar look Do you like this look and my choices? Where do you look for your outfit inspiration? Tessa 

Etsy Valentines Cards

I have never really 'done' Valentines day but each year I do swap cards with my husband and each year we try to out do each other with the cutest but most appropriate card. As always I always look to Etsy for cards as there is nowhere you are more likely to find the most fitting card - and if you can't find exactly what you want there will be someone who can make it for you. Over the last few weeks I have been 'favouriting' cards as I see them - some for my husband and some that I would love for me.  As always, I want to share the Etsy love as I cannot recommend the site enough or all the sellers I have had the please to deal with in the past.

Spring Summer 2017 Beauty trends

As I mentioned the other day in my Miles Donovan post now Christmas is behind us I am starting to think about my wardrobe (clothing and beauty) for Spring/Summer. As I am keener to experiment with my makeup than my clothing (office day job and strong reliance on black clothes that cover my belly) I paid most attention to the makeup looks and have I picked a few (more) of those that I would like to try to share with you. Do you change your look each season or do you have a go-to look you stick with? What is your favourite spring/summer product? Tessa
