I just wrote the blog title, then thinking it rung a bell, Googled it.

God, those were the days... Oh and I'm really cool.

Christian Dior Couture - Spring 2010

My love for Galliano has finally been set free again since looking through his Haute Couture collection for Christian Dior.

It's so ladylike yet so dramatic, with beautiful intricate details. As always, the make up is bold and so stunning, with thanks to Pat McGrath I assume?

The backdrop of the show is also to die for. I would love to have a room decorated like this - so romantic and feminine.

The Art of Beauty

If you ever feel like your make-up routine is a bit mundane, then don't look at the following pictures.

Every now and then I like to admire the craft put into these looks, and kind of consider experimenting, then I think, 'Hmm I'll get laughed out of my lectures if i waltz in with feathers hanging off my eyelashes'. They're such beautiful works of art though! Like the face is a canvas and the make-up artist is wondering 'What can I create this time?'

It just encourages me to hang around the Boots make-up department - putting all sorts of wonderful colours on the back of my hand - probably resulting in me buying some wacky make-up from Barry M that I'll never dare to wear.

And ohh if only prolonged use of fake eyelashes didn't ruin my real lashes so much...

Here are some pictures for inspiration...
