So as you probably saw on social media, last week Bay Street Shopping Complex hosted its first in-house fashion show. As a shopping complex, it’s home to a number of outlets and the show featured 20 different fashion brands including; Original Marines, Aldo, Adidas, Sketchers, Ipanema, Jennyfer, Misto, Dolce Plus, London F Café, Terranova, Guess, Calliope, Liu Jo, GoldenPoint, Trussardi, Sunlab, Bortex Women and Children, Pedro del Hierro, Cortefiel and Women’Secret.

Starting off with Original Marines, we saw the cutest children dressed in either casual attire or dressed to impress in more dressy outfits. The casual outfits consisted of a brighter and floral colour scheme while the more dressy outfits had less going on with stripes and pastels.

Moving onto Aldo, the outfits consisted of denim and black shirt dresses to keep the center of attention on the accessories and shoes. We saw lots of pink, reds and florals in both the shoe and accessory categories. Pointed heels are so hot at the moment. And you should also go check out the bags, cause as you can see they have the most beautiful and unique bags ever!

After we saw a few pieces from Adidas and Sketchers. Now, I’m not the most sporty type (I’m more Posh Spice than Sporty Spice 😉) but the bright and floral patterns really intrigued me. And the sneakers looked amazingly comfortable, I love dressing down outfits with a good pair of sneakers!

Up next we saw Jennyfer, showcasing pieces from edgy leather jackets to leather heels together with a bright red leather jacket, dress and bags. From Misto and Dolce Plus we saw some florals; from floral dresses from Misto to floral shirts by Dolce Plus. Black was also in the main colour scheme, seeing a black dress paired with a floral bag and black maxi dresses with large floral prints. London F Café was one of my favourites. The blue cocktail dress with the strapless sweetheart neckline was so me! And I also loved the two piece black floral outfit with the puffy skirt! 

Terranova presented more casual and festival inspired clothing with lots of fringe. From Guess my favourites were the denim jumpsuits, the beautifully fitted black and white dress and the flowy ethereal white maxi which makes me so excited for summer. Calliope showcased the most beautiful spring green jumpsuit accessorised with a beige scarf and heels – definitely a fave! And I’m obsessed with the Liu Jo denim dungaree!

Goldenpoint showed us some of their beautiful swimwear pieces ranging from bikinis to one-piece swimsuits. Trussardi showcased a lot of smart-casual outfits, with loads of shirts and perfect-fit jeans. Bags were also included as a focus point, ranging from bright to black and floral. Sunlab was up next, with casual bags and different sunglasses which means there’s something for everyone. From blazers to tailored pants, Bortex Women and Children displayed key pieces to add to your wardrobe, with pieces which would make a great day-to-night outfit.

Pedro del Hierro presented us with gorgeous outfits. They also focused on lime yellow and purple which although it’s not really a colour-combo I’d wear, they really made a wonderful combination. The colour red was the focal point with Cortefiel. Red blazers, pants and dresses – bright and fun. I loved the combination of blue and white stripes with red.

Women’Secret was the final show of the night; from swimwear to lingerie – perfect for the upcoming summer. My favourites were the silk ivory two piece pjs, the black baby doll which oozes mystery and the stripey bikini which has a very summery feel to it.

The show ended with a bang – literally! Confetti and heart-shaped balloons floating up in the sky. After the event, nibbles and prosecco was served while we had time to network and catch up with fellow bloggers.

Thank you to all involved in the organising of this wonderful fashion show.
A big thank you also goes to Mark Soler and Chrissy Toledo for letting me use these gorgeous shots from the show!

Thanks again to the marketing department for the invite.

Happy Weekend!

Review & Swatches: BeYu Cosmetics | Sensual Spring 2017 Collection

Review & Swatches: BeYu Cosmetics | Sensual Spring 2017 Collection

With the arrival of Spring, we see a lot of brands coming out with new collections. And BeYu Cosmetics, a brand I’ve already talked about in previous posts, came out with a new collection called Sensual Spring. So let’s move on to the reviews and swatches!

Be Sensual Highlighting Powder

This highlight is made up of beautiful swirls of pastel shades that when combined together give you that subtle, sheer glow which makes the skin appear more youthful and glowing from within. This highlight gently reflects the light without making you to shiny – especially if you have oily skin. Its light texture makes it perfect for warm/hot weather because it’s pleasant and gentle on the skin. And because it gives a subtle glow rather than a more in your face highlight, I think it would be suitable for all skin tones. The mineral oil and fragrance-free highlighting power is also suitable for sensitive skin.

Be Sensual Eyeshadow Palette in No. 2 Sensory Appeal

This palette is made up of rose and pink shades ranging from light to dark. I must admit that the texture is slightly powder, however I found a way to work around that – I apply the eyeshadows using my finger + I slightly dampen my finger to get the full potential of the colour and then blend the edges with a brush. The packaging is a trendy marble-inspired metal box which makes it great for travelling. This palette also comes in another set of colours – No. 1 Sensual Appeal which is made up of browns and champagne colours.

Sensual Lip Oil in No. 3 Huge Pleasure

Lip Oils are big this season. This Sensual Lip Oil is gives a subtle pink sheen to the lips, leaving them looking smooth as if you just applied a glossy lip balm. Rich ingredients such as jojoba oil, Karité butter and vitamin E are found in this oil and help protect even sensitive lips. The Oil can be applied on its own, underneath or over your usual lipstick for even more bright and glossy look. It sits comfortably on the lips however like every other lip gloss, I’d suggest you wear it on days when it’s not windy.

All these products are suitable for sensitive skin as skin compatibility is dermatologically approved. Also, if I’m not mistaken, this is a limited edition collection so make sure to get your hands on it while it’s still available.

BeYu Cosmetics can be found in all Franks Outlets

Until the next one,

Love, T

Welcome back, my lovelies!

Thursday night was a busy yet fun night!  The first order of the night was an event organized by GF Ltd which I shall be talking about in this post. I had already mentioned GF Ltd in the past, however, for those who are not familiar with them, they are the importers of multiple high-end products such as Bio-Oil, Alterna Hair Care and Cetaphil amongst others.

The location for the event was Hugo’s Lounge in the heart of Paceville, which saw an evening of flowing wine and sushi which also served as a good opportunity to network with fellow bloggers and the people behind GF Ltd, the lovely Francesca, Tamima and Kevin. During the event we were given a brief introduction to some of the products that they import.

The first brand mentioned was Alterna Hair Care, a range of products made out of caviar extract sourced from France. How luxurious is that?! The products are made from ground breaking formulas, made out of eco-certified ingredients - free of additives or harsh ingredients.

The second brand mentioned was Cetaphil, a well-known skincare brand which is quite hyped in the blogosphere. They are gentle skincare products recommended by dermatologists and paediatricians. Before leaving, they generously gave us a lovely goodie bag containing some products from the mentioned brands so keep an eye out for the reviews!

Thank you GF Ltd for the invite - it was a lovely and informative night!

Happy Sunday!

Stepping into Summer with Havaianas*

Stepping into Summer with Havaianas*

You know when it’s warm but you don’t feel like it is warm enough to take out your flip flops and sandals? That’s when you need espadrilles, specifically Havaianas espadrilles.

They’re built in a light, breathable fabric and a rubber sole that covers your feet when you still want to feel like you’re wearing shoes. These pair are the Havaianas Origine Slim, and they come in 4 colours: Black (which I’m wearing), Light Rose, Beige and Blue. They also come with ballet-style ribbons which you can wrap and tie around your ankles or you can take them off and wear them as slip-ons. However, for me personally I like to wear them with the ribbons as they give off a more unique look.

The best thing about these espadrilles is that they’re comfortable, practical and stylish. You can wear them with anything!

Get a pair of these gorgeous espadrilles from Havaianas at The Plaza, Sliema. 

Until the next one!

Love, T
