Doutzen Kroes for British Vogue







Doutzen Kroes, known for her title as a Victoria's Secret Angel, has been featured in the editorial spread for the January issue of British Vogue. The blonde bombshell is typically seen scantily clad walking down the runway, but her feature set around the beach makes her look like a stunning mermaid. Her beautifully tanned skin and natural looking make up really does epitomise 'beach babe' and the almost excessive use of tweed and straw only mirror this. The neutral and earthy tones echoed throughout the spread add the much needed natural and hollistic look that is not always associated with the Winter season! However, I don't think anyones mind would be on the season when looking through the spread. Doutzen looks simply incredible (almost better than in sultry lingerie!). 

The contrasting looks to her typical barbie-esque makeup at VS does show a versatility that not all Angels possess, which in my opinion makes Doutzen more valuable as she would have a successful modelling career even if she was not an Angel. I sincerely hope that the brand does not over manufacture her and allows her to have a career in high fashion as well as catalog lingerie.

I adore it when Victoria's Secret models get featured in such high fashion magazines as it just reminds us that they are more than sex bombs but are models too. 

Girl Crush: Rosie Huntington-Whitely









I am aware that not too recently I posted on my massive girl crush on Miranda Kerr, but I really did struggle with which was my favourite; Rosie Huntington-Whitely or Miranda Kerr. Therefore, I decided it fit to do one on both!

Rosie Huntington-Whitely, known her phenomenally voluptuous lips and stunning good looks the model and actress is rapidly becoming one of the best dressed celebrities that I know. Her fabulous street style and amazing sense of style have led to the creation of a lingerie collection for Marks and Spencers (Rosie for Autograph) which would put Victorias Secret to shame! The soft pastels and style that emanates fifties retro glam really is a beautiful collection.
However, I am not here to discuss her designer qualities, but her as a person. Unlike some models, she really is a very bubbly individual which makes her interviews so much more fun! I just adore every aspect of her and was apparently one of the few who enjoyed her in transformers, so ultimately she became one of my girl crushes!
The British beauty does really represent everything that a girl wishes she could be and shall remain someone that I will be eternally jealous of.

Girl Crush: Miranda Kerr









Miranda Kerr is probably one of my all time favourite models simply because she has such a wide diversity of looks; just look at her Vogue Italia spread! However, I used to think she wasn't high fashion enough, but then I realised that she was so unique and had such a baby face that she was perfect for it! I know this may sound odd, but often the most successful models are those who are unique and different, and Miranda's baby face makes her just that.
Due to my tumblr obsession, I almost constantly see her plastered all over my dashboard which I guess just sparked my interest in her.

I gave up. After trying to avoid looking at photos of some of the looks from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012, I gave up. However, I'm glad I did because the outfits from this year had me in awe, after a not so good last year, the show has returned to it's previous star quality and has certainly pulled out all the stops! The extravagant costumes, elaborate set and beautiful extraverted angels really did put on a show.


The show started with a Circus segment led off by perennial Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima, who played the role of ringleader. The Circus segmet was followed by five other segments: Dangerous Liaisons, Pink Is Us, Silver Screen Angels, Angels in Bloom, and Calendar Girls.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012: Behind the Scenes













One of the most popular globally renowned fashion shows has to be the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. 
It is every girls dream to be a Victoria's Secret Angel, no matter what they say! 

It honestly does not feel like a year has passed since last years show and it is definitely going to be one of the most important posts on my blog! It seems like only last year when I blogged on it on my old blog that had about 10 views per day, oh how times have changed. I definitely never thought that I would have come as far as I have, I am so fortunate to be placed in the position that I am. 
Anyways, back to Victoria's Secret. Known for their saucy and sultry lingerie, Victoria's Secret has carved its way into American culture, making their garments a must have for any womans wardrobe.

I bet we all are in a state of high anticipation of actually watching the show, and I as an individual, have been trying to avoid looking at snapshots from the show to prevent the telecast being spoilt! 
However, due to the pleasures of Instagram, I have been exposed to many of the models behind the scenes shots from the show and in preparation for it!

I didn't want to spoil the show for anyone (or myself) hence the reason for the lack of shots from the show, but they will be posted as soon as the show airs!

The show, to be aired on December 4th on CBS is now televised worldwide and rakes in a typical 10.3 million viewers such as seen in 2011.  However, although the VS fashion show may not be classified as high fashion, the show production and image does provide an amazingly creative masterpiece for all those 10 million viewers. 

I can't wait for the show, I am actually so excited!

Confessions of a Shopaholic: Beauty Edition

Hello lovelies,

About a week ago, my family and I took off for a whirlwind trip around Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and unlike Brunei, KL had much more to offer shopping wise!

So basically, everyday involved us visiting some sort of mall, whether it be big, small or just plain fancy. However, this did cause an unfortunate rapid deterioration in my bank account! Although, I do have some purchases that I am in love with at the moment!

[Topshop makeup- Isn't the packaging so pretty?]

[I love the scarlet hue of 'Hazard' and the subtle tone to 'Rumour Has It']

[Sheer lip glosses from Forever 21]

[Basic full-sized Tweezerman tweezers. The best tweezers in the world]

[Revlon lipstick in Blush and mascara in Sexy Curves; Full Figure. The lipstick actually smells really nice, it's like scented!]

[I am addicted to Baby Lips by Maybelline and am on a mission to collect them all! They honestly do work!]

[I know these are accessories, but I caught them in a sale and the designs are actually so precious and classy]

[Victoria's Secret body sprays all smell phenomenal to say the least, and these two are my current favourites!]

Of course, I did buy different things as well as makeup, but that will have to be another post!
