Catwoman, Silk Spectre and Darth vader storm the runway yay!

I'm really loving the catwalk back in 2009. The Metropolitan Museum of Art illustrated this connection with their "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" exhibit, in which Dior did Wonder Woman, Mugler did Catwoman  and McQueen channeled X-Men. And despite the ongoing recession and general spirit of doom and gloom pervading fashion week this time around, we couldn't help but spot a few fantastical superhero themes in the mix. Whether it was Darth Vader invading Rick Owens or Nite Owl at Nina Ricci, these designers really stuck out in making clothes that still fuel our wildest dreams. Hey, who ever said fashion can't save the world?

Love this look

Love

I was looking through Tumblr just then, and came across this picture of model Xiao Wen Ju, I'm nor sure who she was modeling for but I absolutely love the retro looking spectacles with the chain, her hair which looks very 1960's and the blouse with the brooches and baggy looking jeans, I actually prefer skinny jeans, but these ones look really good with the whole outfit and the way her hair is done.

16 natural skin tips

1. To lighten dark spots and acne marks, dab on fresh squeezed lemon juice, or apply organic grass-fed yogurt to your entire face and neck (leave on for 10 min­utes) to lighten and brighten your skin
2. Cleanse your skin every morning and night to stop it from oiling up and to wash make up off your face
3. Pre­vent and elim­i­nate black­heads, dry skin, and give your skin a dewy look just by drink­ing at least 2 liters (1/2 gal­lon) of fil­tered water per day – sounds like a lot, but it will do the trick!
4. Speak­ing of water, fil­ter your shower and sink water so you're not dump­ing chlo­rine and chem­i­cals on your skin and hair – you will end up with soft skin and health­ier hair, and if you have asthma and aller­gies, it may help with that too
5. Use a lotion mask nightly (or in the morn­ing before apply­ing makeup), for a beau­ti­fully mois­tur­ized and glow­ing com­plex­ion (for more info on lotion masks, I highly rec­om­mend read­ing The Japan­ese Skin­care Rev­o­lu­tion)
6. Pim­ple Emer­gency! To heal a pim­ple quickly, apply 100% tea tree oil with a cot­ton swab directly onto the pim­ple every few hours, and apply vit­a­min E oil on the spot at night, about 1 hour before bedtime. I all use a little bit of Witch hazel on pimples too wich help by drying them out.
7. Give your­self a glow, shrink pores, give your skin an antiox­i­dant burst, and even out skin tone with some cham­pagne and a cot­ton ball
8. Puffy face? Drink dan­de­lion tea and try a 3-minute Tanaka face mas­sage to get the lymph mov­ing and elim­i­nate puffiness
9. Pre­vent pim­ples and keep your skin smooth with gly­colic acid from a sugar scrub – mix organic cane sugar with your face or body wash in the palm of your hand, or try my DIY sim­ple scrub
10. Whiten your teeth by brush­ing with straight bak­ing soda (you can add some xyl­i­tol for a bet­ter taste – it’s a sweet­ener derived from birch trees)
11. For a quick glow, apply a few drops of olive, coconut, or jojoba oil to the tops of your cheek­bones and your brow­bones (where you would apply high­lighter or shim­mer cream)
12. Sleep on silk pil­low­cases to pre­vent hair damage/breakage and keep your skin look­ing youth­ful – I swear by silk, your hair and skin will thank you! And always remember to wash your pillow cases regulary so that dirt from the pillow does not cause pimples.
13. Take a qual­ity vit­a­min C sup­ple­ment to pre­vent early aging and help your body pro­duce col­la­gen – I love Health Force Nutri­tion­als Truly Nat­ural Vit­a­min C pow­der (I take 2 tsp. twice per day)
14. Keep your skin sup­ple and smooth by sup­ple­ment­ing with fish oil – I use Carl­son Labs Cod Liver Oil (liq­uid) in lemon flavor
15. Eat 1 cup of leafy greens daily (prefer­ably steamed, juiced, or blended for best diges­tion) to keep your com­plex­ion clear and under-eye cir­cles at bay
16. You can use sugar exter­nally, but avoid eat­ing it since it can cause break­outs (not to men­tion headaches and mood swings) – use raw honey, ste­via, or xyl­i­tol instead

Halloween!

 I'm so excited for Halloween, it's only tomorrow! I'm still not sure if I'm going to dress up or not. I'll probably just stay in with my partner and watch scary movies, drink some beer and eat sweets, that's good enough for me! I really love love love Dracula films from old to new, so I'm going to post some of my favourite films and pictures!

Obsession...

I have a slight obsession with these platform wedge style shoes, especially the cat ones in the second picture.

Here's some pictures that inspire me

What I wore today. BLack stockings, black pumps, denim shorts and a long white blouse plus the spectacles I received from ebay!

Summertime in the air

So today, my partner and I went out shopping and literally it felt like we were back in Queensland. It was so warm, but nice. I'm definitely going to have to get my summer wardrobe ready. But also bare in mind that the summers down here aren't as bad as they are back at the main land.
