Florals

The fashion mags, the high street and editorials have seriously jumped on the floral bandwagon, with Mary Katrantzou successful show at LFW
I can't help but think this and has had a influence, finally the high street have caught up and are ready for her and her like innovative designs.

With constant news reports of global economic decline, increase in unemployment, what seems to be a never ending civil unrest, natural disasters it's no wonder fashion is finding some sort of solace in florals and brights, in relation the talk of fashion florals seem so insignificant but in our day to day lives if something as 'insignificant' as the floral blouse picks up our mood then why not ! Talking of florals blouses. The Stylist this week has a great fashion segment on high street florals picks. Kudos to the fashion assistant who pull out these fabulous pieces. One of my favs was Warehouse'Mirrored Floral Blouse' £45.


Also available in a coral dress £60.

H&M have a fabulous collection of florals from Garden party feminine prints to modern McQueen influence ...below are a couple of my favourite pieces.

Trousers £12.00                                        


£29.99 top/ 29.99 skirt 
 l

Of course Marni for H&M £59.99


Now by the time I got to see Marni for H&M the shop had well and truly been raided sadly, the remnants that were there we're still fab including the Marni Skirt above!

A lil bit of me...

So I've had a request to involve a lil bit more of me in these blogs so here goes ...

Finally back to my au natural hair self (except for the colour), so I desperately wanted my hair to be a pillar box kind of red, after using three different hues of red my hair has kind of turned plum. It's growing on me what do y'all think ?

Now that i'm back to my never ending search for a good hair moisturiser, I've started to use Taliah Waajid, Healing oil which is so far amaze ! My hair gets drier that a desert which doesn't help with my want constant dye of my hair.

And just in case you were wondering the necklace I'm wearing is one of my Rubirox finds ! Search for Rubi Rox shop on Etsy.com

Petrol Head...

...A phrase which to be honest i haven't heard that often, its i a name for a car enthusiast !
Aha ! Tonight the  (recently opened) charming  & warm Double RL store on Mount Street, neighbours to Christian Loubiton and my other dear love Marc Jacobs had an evening event hosted Gregor Fisken of  Fiskens specialist in historic automobiles (cue dream bubble ... oooh if i were a billionaire what beautiful vintage cars i'd purchase *swoon* ) supported fashion photographer Nick Clements of Men's file, a petrol head him self (through a bit of blogger research you'll find his a couple of sweet him rides himself):

He had a selection photographs which capture the essences and wonder of Fisken's vintage vehicles encapsulated in a setting which epitomised 1940's Levi blue collar work men and the era so perfectly. All shot on the RRL ranch ( Ralph Lauren own phenomenal ranch). Shot taken at various angles which drew in you the the by gone era.

I took pictures a couple of their classic vehicles, that were sitting outside the boutique, my favourite was the 1928 Bentley ....

My big Babay 1928 Bentley *swoon*

Vintage 1965.... i wouldn't say no

Doh!

If ya'll are interested in finding out more about the RubiRox Accessories such as the phone cover  posted on Object of Desire 2 ; this particular style is available only for the iphone 4/4s .. . but stay tuned for more postings! here is the correct email  for more info!! rubinubi@gmail.com.

I promised all you beautiful lot via Twitter (*plug* rubinubi.) more info on my finds just before Chrimbo... Benefits Mascara They're Real.

HONESTLY this is a great Mascara, for £18.50 this price just under cuts luxury mascaras such as YSL & Dior which start from £21.. every penny counts ! 

No fuss mascara, Benefits They're Real does add va va voom, but significantly lengthens. You'll find quite good reviews across the internet and is practically sold out everyewhere ... . Benefit really thought about the wand brush when creating this, as a result utilise's every space on the wand! With horizontal, vertical, short and long bristles, these get into every nook and cranny i.e., making the mascara excellent for both the top and bottom lash and for extra definition. Similar to Model One Mascara by Danni Monogue  (oooh and i've recently found out loreal have a similar version for the fraction of the price! needs more investigation :s ) the more you layer the longer and thicker the lash! Before you know it people will be asking you whether you have falsies on ( hence the name of the product hehe)  ;) 

A bit of a downer is the removal, do have to hand a good eye make up remover or Johnson baby oil !

I'm using my fav Nude oil cleanser morning and evening then wiping the raccoon excess off with on my Clarins Cream cleanser using cotton wool pads... i don't actually have eye make up remover, I haven't bought eye make remover in more than a year ! i digress.. my Nude Oil Cleanser does the job generally.

Other RubiNubi Recommended Mascara's:

YSL false lash effect £23.00 - this is one of my staples 

Best Budget Mascara ! 

Maybelline's Great Lash £4.99: 

Model One Mascara is good , BUT price @ £35 is a bit steep and does take a little bit of time to do if you want that real longer lash.
