Justin Was Seen As The Beast At The 2013 Billboard Awards....


Biebs was not received well at the 2013 Billboard awards. He walked away with two awards, one for Best Male Artist and the second for the Milestone award in which Justin was up against other artists such as Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars.

J came up onto the stage wearing black aviators and didn't proceed to take them off until he mentioned the big man upstairs. Justin is the first artist under 19 to have 5 number 1s on the Billboard 200. He asked to be taken "seriously as an artist" and to cut out all that "other bull". While all this happened there was a constant volume of booing from the crowd to which Justin responded by saying "I'm 19 years old..... I think I'm doing pretty good". 

What do you think?

I'm Wearing Black Until They Make Something Darker

I'm going to open with my personal opinion of the colour black. I adore black. I think it represents a medley of things; mystery, sophistication, seduction, comfort, strength and so much more. The LBD has been around for years and there's a reason why. Women feel comfortable in black; its slimming and gives a sense of empowerment. Black is a bold colour that can strengthen any look. A strong bold red lip and a strictly black outfit can say so much by doing so little. My wardrobe is predominately black mainly because I feel my best in black and because its a very professional colour.

Black is not actually a colour in itself. It is the absence of colour entirely. That is another reason why I find it alluring. Before the Big Bang there was darkness - blackness; and the world will potentially end in the same way.

In no way am I encouraging or suggesting that your wardrobe be filled with dark clothes. I am merely saying that there is more reason to love black other than the fact that you look slimmer in it. There is a history to the "colour" black and what it symbolises. Frans Hals painted with 27 shades of black.

So when you go put on your next LBD or black blazer that you have always received compliments with, know that when you wear it, you're saying more about yourself than you might realise.


Have a good weekend!

MakeUp Look - Work

I work in the Style Club on South William street as a salon co ordinator (ie receptionist). Like any brand, you're required to look professional but suit the brand at the same time. The Style Club is very colourful and has a lot of personality. 

Because my outfit is all black (personal choice) I decided I wanted colour in my makeup. I went for a beautiful red lipstick, cat liner eyes with a small bit of contouring in the socket of the eye and turquoise blue in the water line. 




I love these colours together. So summery and gives such a fresh feel. 

If you want a tutorial on this look comment below.

Happy Saturday!
