If i say that i love eyeliner that would be a lie, but i do like it ( once in a while). As we all know there are different types of eyeliner from pencil, wax/wax based and liquid, i'm yet to try out liquid eye liner, but in my search for a more defined eyeliner i came across wax eye liner. Its been a definate answer to my prayers except for just one thing SMUDGING. I really hate it when all of a sudden later in the day i start to look like a racoon. I shyed away from it until i found a SOLUTION and one that actually works...FACE POWDER. Now i'm not a face powder fan but its coming in handy for this specific purpose.I only apply it on the eye area were i want to apply my eye liner.In my research i've found that if you apply concealer first then the foundation it stays in one place but in my own personal experience aslong as i apply my basic cream then the foundation it still stays in place.

Most people would be familiar with the word PUNK from attitude to music and then there is PUNK FASHION! Basically it is clothing, jewelry, hair styles influenced by the punk subculture. Designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaulitier have used punk elements in their designs. A few days ago punk fashion was celebrated at the 2013 Met Gala which is the 'Oscars' version for designers. Hollywood celebrities, were dressed according to the theme for this year, which was PUNK: From Chaos to Couture and my personal  favourite was Anne Hathaway, who was in a 1992 vintage Valentino dress, i must say she is quite a stunning blonde, don't you think so? Celebs did go all out in glam in the name of punk and it was indeed from chaos to couture considering the history of punk. Now wouldn't it be cool if we get to see YOUR side of punk fashion (this would be you reading ;-) ) [Images: popstyle; usatoday]

Men's fashion trends for 2013 are saying YES to bright colours,which i must say a few men embrace them very well unless if i stand to be corrected. Hues such as yellow are putting their stamp on men's wardrobes for 2013 and a particular trend doing the same is the cropped pants, very summer/spring and fresh. In my own a opinion a men who wears cropped pants is simply shouting "I am a very confident man" ;-). Wonder what you guys and girls think. Not so sure if i would date a guy in this particular ensemble but a bright colour with saaaay.... blue jeans ain't so bad (and yes blue cropped jeans) ;-) Happy shopping fellas!:-) [Image; paperblog]

Woow its been a while since i last blogged, had taken a bit of a break, but i'm back in full swing. :-) Street chic is the name of the game and this shot took my eye. The colour the prints all shout fun and adventurous and such is street chic. These ensembles are all very cute and my favourite are the print jacket and the gladiator heels. Bold colours, prints and fun accessories are always a joy to mix though i'm pretty sure someone out there would beg to differ ;-) Be inspired happy shopping! :-) [Image; harpersbazzar]

In the name of street chic, I fell in love with this street chic look, from Vogue Paris Editor Geraldine Saglio. In white skinny cropped jeans, a muscle blouse and black pumps with a matching belt, she STOLE MY FASHION HEART! TIP: Its always a good idea to match your belt with your shoes ;-) [Image; lamodellamafia]

Someone definatley wore it better and Miss Kelly Rowland's version of this pink ruffled dress by Marchesa, stands out the most in my case. Ashanti did pull it off yes But... I still prefer Kelly's version... and Ashanti had worn the dress first at a different red carpet event. Guess someone figured they can wear it better. ;-) [Image; _]

My first CREATIVELY INSPIRED post for 2013 is on nail art.Runway inspired nail art from the Nanette-Lepore-Spring-2012 Collection.When you are feeling stripey (if there is such a word) lady love, that's for you and of course there is the bold ones too.This one doesn't call for the brave its not too eye popping its for those fun, daring and well...stripey days, I would try it on, on those days in particular! :-) Happy nail painting!

'Out with the OLD and in with the NEW', they say, not so easy in fashion, its 'evolve with the old attached to the new '(if that makes sense at all but it is what it is).2013 trends are not too faraway from the 2012 fashion trends and be that as it may,the Spring-Summer 2013 Runway from Proenza Schouler made a splash of ANIMAL PATCHWORK PRINTS one of this year's trends to look out for. I'm not really into prints the only statement fashion i'm crazy about is statement jewelery,but i do admit to taking a liking to the whole print thing,(will be designing something print inspired for myself) :-) A leopard print patchwork belt long sleeve casual outerwear coat is inspiring this edgey Street Chic look on the pic below.A little something to inspire our very own wardrobes! Happy Shopping :-) [Images; fabsugar aliexpress]

I loooooove, Awards shows especially the red carpet moments.2012 obviously had those and my oh my, even my best dressed lady on this year's red carpet came as a bit of a shock to me.... well sort of (wink).I came up with my own list of 2012's top 3 best dressed ladies and worst dressed from the Oscar Awards, Grammies and other Awards in between. Starting with the good stuff; My first place goes to Kelly Rowland i don't know about you but at this year's Grammy Awards she stunned me I had no idea she had it in her to pull off the GRAND "ball" look she was absolutely divine in Alberta Ferretti.I'm definately looking forward to 2013 Grammies to see what she will do to follow up that look. EXCELLENT !Bravo Miss Kelly! My second place and contender of first is the beautiful Sofia Vergara.She always looks amazing,she knows her body and knows how to dress it(YOU SHOULD TO..if you don't ), but the Emmy Awards very much belonged to her.In Zuhai...

2012... 2012.. In a couple days we will be saying GOOD BYE! But we will surely remember you for the amazing fashion trends you certainly came along with.As we all know fashion doesn't just VANISH from the face of the earth but EVOLVES as the years and decades go by so will be seeing most of these trends as we make our way into 2013! Inspired I made a collage to give tribute to some of 2012's trends such as the prints, the wedges, colour  blocking  and head wraps.In my own opinion prints made more noise compared to the rest of the other trends, THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! From shoes to dresses (short and long) pants, shorts, jackets... I can go on and on but simply put.. PRINTS RULED! And my personal favourite look was the short printed dress with a belt on the waist,rocked in either flats or heels, in other words its versatile. Looking forward to more fashion and trends in 2013! :-D For updates on the topic visit and like the Facebook Page Run Street Style Lane: Fashion Faces by ...

I have always admired Katy Perry's fashion. It is daring and she is not afraid to try something new and simply just stand out from the crowd. Early November she graced the red carpet with a floral full - length gown from Dolce and Gabbana, at a Dreams Foundation event where she was a nominee.It had mauve flowers and green leaves and what i loved the most about the dress was the belt she added to it which was velvet and had gold bands, turning it into an amazing and garceful ensemble.I simply just love this look :-) [Image: _]

Ohema Ohene is a British based brand designed by Ghananian Abenaa Pokuaa, who designs and creates fashion with captivating African prints.The nail art collection is my favourite from their work, done for them by a nail artist from London and with the nail art 'frenzy' in this fashion era, I would personally go for it, and you should too. :-) [Images: afrocentric]
