Hello pretties :) The weekend is soon dawning upon us, and with that in mind time to put your best dress on! Got a sweet tooth? Check out this designer dress if you're going for a sweet look. It was an Alexander McQueen inspired dress Takes me back to the theme song "Gummy bears... bouncing here and there and everywhere" So apparently the dress is made out of 50 000 Gummies. I wouldnt want to be near any kids wearing a dress like this :/ The inspiration Le Outcome Designed by Hissa Igarishi and Sayuri Marakumi Another one of my recent favourites is the re-imagined Disney's Cinderella's glass slipper by infamous and by far my favourite shoe designer Christian Louboutin.

I recently stumbled on something rather interesting, a big hole in the earth, :)  a crater that has been burning for somewhat 30 years now. I was watching a documentary on it and the crater is situated in Turkmenistan in the middle of the Karakum dessert. The area in which the crater is situated is said to be rich in natural gas. I'm sure it looks amazing at night.. Just makes me think how warm/hot it would be standing next to this burning crater... maybe the idea just seems appealing to me right now because we're in the middle of winter :/ none the less it would be awesome to visit this one day. Here's the link to the video   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEjoga1yrn0 Picture perfect If you're on holiday enjoy it and be safe. If not, the weekend is near ;) take care and keep warm. Kavi<3

Polished! Whether it be nail polish metallic, neon's, or pastels, glitter animal print wraps, nail art stickers and gems or the classic french manicure, taking care of your nails just gives your whole appearance that unique pop at times and can be the perfect accessory. I recently read about a cheap and effective rather quick and interesting method called "news paper nails". Here's a step by step method on how you can use news paper laying around in your house for some gorgeous nails. The Merch (merchandise) aka what you will need (felt so gangster typing merch lol) Rubbing alcohol ( normal vodka will do) Squares of newspaper, cut to rectangular pieces to fit your nails White/light pink/nude nail polish (I used a light candy floss pink.) Clear nail polish to glaze over A small dish/cup SO once you've got the merch .. the fun begins! There is Method to this madness :p Paint your nails (lighter colours tend to work better) allow them to dry ...

Pretty Faces, and luxary facials (**,)

Hello my pretties :) ***face splash! I hope you've missed me as much as I have missed you! Soooo post exams a lot has happened and I'm sooo excited for all the up coming posts so keep your eyes peeled!! As tradition goes I always spoil myself with a relaxing home or spa treatment and with my sister's graduation (which took place yesterday) she and I decided to book ourselves facials at The Body Shop after we shopped around for a bit. Don't be shy or unmotivated to wash your face in winter just because of the cold. A lot of people take less care of their skin in winter due to the cold. Our facials were done by Precious who was very helpful and friendly. She was also very knowledgeable on what products to use on our face as my sister has a combination skin and I have a sensitive skin. Precious doing my sister's facial using the sea weed mask :) She used The Body Shops Vitamin C boost. It smelt delightful and as her colleagues said "l...

GUCCI GOES GREEN Fashion Italian brand Gucci launched an eco-friendly campaign *thumbs up*. Looks like they're still able to provide a luxury brand with eco-friendly packaging. Last November, the brand promised to reduce it's paper usage and carbon footprint. François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO, PPR, Gucci’s owner, stated: “If we wait for customers to make sustainable development a condition for purchasing, then nothing will happen. It's as if green products were somehow not normal. They are normal, it is the other products that are not normal. It's up to us to work out how to make green products the new normal.” Spotted in vogue, creative director for Gucci Frida Giannini said  "This project proves that you sacrifice nothing creatively when working with environmentally friendly materials." Supposedly Gucci Bamboo sunnies :) Apparently its made with liquid wood *Oooohhhhoooo* In an eco-centric move, they've also launched a new range of...

Subtle Skin Saturday We all love being pampered from time to time be it facials, massages, the usual spa treatment or homemade relaxation! Pure goodness which leaves you looking a goddess and your face feeling heavenly! Recently I tried out a banana and honey home made mask, its a good way of not wasting those over ripe bananas instead of making the common 'ol banana bread. Plus its inexpensive and easy, not very time consuming as well. All you'll need is :    1 Ripe Banana  1 teaspoon of honey Method: Mash up the banana, and make sure this is done well to achieve a smooth consistency. You don't want to have any chunky bits.     2.   Next stir in the teaspoon of honey well. **** And Viola! face mask done! Apply to your face and neck area. Leave it on for about 15-20 mins and rinse off with warm water. Honey is said to have many healing properties and has been used for many many years. Both the honey ...
