Hey Guys!

A few months ago my friend Naaman and I were shopping in Topshop Oxford circus.

Going along our merry little way, we stubbled across a collection that blew us both away!

KTZ “Bijoux”

This is the piece that got us both whipped!!

I literally had this jacket on in the store for about half an hour while

Naaman and I weighed up the pros and cons of buying it,

discussed what a bad bitchana I looked in it and trying to take pictures of me in it (failing miserably)

We got talking to one of the shop assistants and when she revealed that there were only 3 in the store at one time and two had already

been sold, it made me want this little treasure more!

I dreamed of this jacket for a few weeks after and Naaman and I agreed that the sick feeling

was mutual whenever we thought about it having been neglected by us!

THEN…

To my DISMAY about two weeks ago I came across these images!

*Massive sad face*

WTH is going on….???

A perfectly beautiful jacket RUINED by poor styling! The Boots, The trousers… it’s just wrong!

A skintight one piece or body-con, leggings and a bra/cropped top, there were so many possibilities so why this??

I’m really upset about this… like really really upset… I am not one to slate someones style but I’m shaking my head… BIG TIME!

ANYWAY

Here are a few more pics of the collection

pretty good right!

With statement pieces like this styling has to be on point!!!! Be daring, don’t be daft

and one word of advice… don’t overkill, one piece at a time is enough!

Heyyyyyyyy babbbbyyyyyyyysssssssssssssssssssssss

My GOSH how I have missed you and your whole lives! A lot has been going on, fashion and otherwise during the time that I last posted.

Anyway as I said, a whole load of stuff has happened so I have loads to share…..

So TOPSHOP! TOPSHOP!!!! TOPSHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am such a big fan of Topshop and must admit that when the store in New York opened i was most distressed! I mean its OURS!!! UK born and bred!!! …BUT now I’m over it!!!! At one point I went through a stage where I wasn’t too into it! But now our love has been rekindled and I can not resist the place! As we all know they always manage to transcend looks from the catwalk into their pieces, making them accessible to those of us who’s bank balances don’t always permit us to have these delightful pieces… (don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about!!! lol)

Topshop does EVERYTHING!

Clothes, shoes, lingerie, nightwear, sweets, jewelery, handbags, sunglasses…you name it they have it! So I guess it is no surprise that they have launched their very own make up line, and it’s fair to say that it is one of the biggest beauty launches of the year so far!

By now you should know what I’m like, can’t resist anything new and exciting and since it has Topshop’s name on it, it’s fair to say that I was a little more than intrigued about the new line and majorly eager to check out the range!

About the range, which launched 5th May 2010, Topshop says: “We wanted to create products that were unlike anything else on the market- products that we would want to buy- products made purely and entirely for the Topshop girl.”

The range was started by focusing on the bare essentials that its creators say are major players and must haves in their own make up bags. A core range of bronzers (and lord knows I love a bronzer) skin tints and glows make up this range whilst the collection named the trend collection is more fun and follows the trends of the current season in beauty! The limited edition collection comes to us every three months! Festivals played a major part in the creation of the line and the products are fashionable and fun…totally fitting with the Topshop brand

I checked out the line with my super duper talented MUA friend Vee! As we expected everything was funky looking and had an ”I don’t care, but still look good” attitude! True Topshop Style! There were soooooo many products…glosses, shadows, liners, mascaras, lippys, varnishes, bronzers, primers…you name it they have it!!!

Obviously Vee got stuck right in with the lipglosses. She liked it “glossy but not sticky!” were her words! It looked really good kinda like Mac’s Lipglass range *swoon*

We didn’t try out everything, but we did have a go at the eyeshadows and I must admit, I was a little disappointed. The quality wasn’t what I would have wanted it to be, and that’s probably because I am a Mac girl through and through. Vee explained that the shadows were not highly pigmented which means it tends to come out more sheer when applied, rather than one that is more highly pigmented coming out strong in color! (you learn something new everyday)

I think I will personally stop at varnises, balms and lipglosses (and maybe the odd blush if the shade is cue enough) when it comes to the Topshop makeup beauty range. I don’t wear much make up but when it comes to concealers etc, I think I’m going to stick to my trusted friends over at Mac. They have never failed me, so I’ll stick with what I know! However, I’m not knocking the Topshop range AT ALL….

Overall the general consensus around the line from the little I experienced is that it is fun, easy to apply and affordable for girls who’s pocket money is their only source of income! And that’s not a bad thing at all….because of this, it gets a thumbs up from me!
