Byoo-tuh-fuhl: Currently on my face


Hello lovelies!

Today's post is a quick snippet into what my summertime beauty regimen has consisted of. As I'm sure my readers know by now, I tend to suffer with an extremely oily t-zone area on my face - and this is particularly annoying in the warmer months! I mean, there's gorgeous goddess does summertime glow then there's the non-practical greaseball. For all you combination-oily skin ladies, I know you understand the struggle of looking overly shiny! The key to getting a gorgeous, dewy glow? Keep the shine in check.

I've been wearing Chanel's Vita Lumiere Aqua on my skin, this skin base is great because it not only contains SPF 15 (one less stage in my beauty routine) but it's also a water based foundation, which believe-it-or-not is what oily skin is lacking! Dermatologists are always raving about dehydrated skin, and although consuming water is the best option for combating that, but by putting a water based product onto your skin, you can retain moisture beneath cells. A good mattifying powder is also crucial. So I've been reaching for Mac's Mineralize Skin Finish - a light dusting of this accross the forehead and nose does a great job. Remember: only powder the areas where you get particularly oily and this is usually the center of the face.

What about radiancy? Although dry skin gals tend to get away with highlighting better than those with oilier skin, strategic highlighting is still an option! I like to gently dab Mac's Lustre drops onto the high points of my face - the tops of my cheekbones, cupid’s bow and a tiny bit on the bridge of my nose. Remember: avoid areas that are overly textured such as skin blemishes or pimples, or have larger pores as highlighting only emphasizes this!

On my lips, I've been rocking the infamous Velvet Teddy pout. If there's one lipstick that made it big at the start of 2015 it was Mac's matte lip in Velvet Teddy - all thanks to someone's (overly) pouty pout, Kylie Jenner. Paired with Mac's 'Whirl' liner, this creates the illusion of plumper lips, and due to my medium-warm skintone this lipstick appears more as a taupy-nude on me.

What have been some of your summer time skin treats?

Pinstripe And Prada : OOTD


All black, even in the summertime - duh. Here's a recent outfit I put together for a very abrupt linner (lunch &/or dinner) and cocktails look. Pinstripe has been one of my favourite trends since A/W 14, and I'm still finding ways of incorporating it into my summer wardrobe.

What I've Been Wearing: Cropped Trousers


At a certain point in the fashion sphere, ankle grazers or 'swingers' were a big no-no - a sign of a wardrobe fail, or lack of attention to vital detailing. Today, we are increasingly seeing this trend grow bigger and better. A style favourite for both men and women, we've seen jeans being rolled up, tailored trousers becoming cropped and ankles becoming the new 'side boob'. Guys, liberate your lower legs because we're going ankle crazy!


Having picked up my Zara structured trousers, featuring the 'ankle grazer' fit, I just had to go pick up the grey and patterned pair. These trousers bring comfort to the world of 'chic', and are a great way to incorporate the intentional cropped look. Although they appear super structured, they actually have a slight stretch to them, allowing you to move freely and not have to worry about your tailored trousers creasing. This gorgeous pinstripe shirt is another sale item that I picked up from NewLook for £9, and the light airy material makes it the perfect summer piece.


So I have to admit I was having a super bad hair day, and as if I need any other excuse to reach for my fedora. I honestly have to stop myself from overdoing the hat look - I'm obsessed. The hat I'm wearing can be found here. My handbag is my Chanel 2.55 mm - people often ask me if this bag is 'worth it' because it's 'too small' - but it honestly fits all I really need for a simple day out. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I'm ditching the larger than life handbags. On my feet, I'm wearing my patent leather Office loafers - although this particular style is no longer available you can find similar shoes here. Finally, I've got my classic Ray Ban aviators on - I seriously go nowhere without these and I'm still dying for the green mirrored version!

Shop The Trend: Cross Body Bags

Shop The Trend: Cross Body Bags

For my fashion savvy readers, you will be aware that despite the various styles of handbags from totes to clutches - there is one style that is taking the fashion world by storm. The functional and hands-free cross body bag. If you read my last post then you'll know that I too have had a fashion-reality check. I'm moving away from my larger-than-life handbags, and appreciating the slung across style trend. Essentially a satchel with the ease of a fanny pack, though they maintain the cuteness of arm candy. In my last post (titled 'The Perfect Everyday Bag) I gave you a sneak peak at my Michael Kors Jet-set Safiano travel Cross-body, and although I'm still in love with that bag, I've found a few other similar styles that I'm just dying to get my paws on!

To help you get your sling on, I've tallied up some of my favourite and super chic cross body bags of this season. Consider this the perfect time to start drafting your Summer '15 wish list! 
*Remember* To be stylish does not mean you have to spend £££ on one item, all your eyes need are little inspiration. High street stores have great alternatives to these high end beauties.

Fedora & Duster: OOTD


Back to black. If you've read my last style post, you would have seen that I attempted my chances in an almost all-white outfit - shock horror, I know. But, I'm going to have to raise my hands up and admit in saying I feel the most comfortable when I'm dressed in all black outfit. It's just more 'me'. You've seen this ASOS duster many times before, and a year on yet I'm still obsessed with it. It's an outfit transforming item!


I hope you aren't getting tired of these fedora's, because I'm absolutely obsessed - they're not going anywhere anytime soon! Admittedly, I'm not the most head-wear savvy person and I often steer away from overly accessorizing. Though the fedora has become my favourite wardrobe item of the moment. Any time that I am unsure of an outfit, or want to look chic without looking like I've tried too hard, I throw on a fedora. They are both functional and outfit transforming - an absolute win win. This black fedora is from Miss Selfridge.


This ribbed khaki vest is from Zara - I picked these up in every colour they came in because they are an absolute Summer essential. The dipped hem makes them appear 'more than just a vest' and the material used for these tops is perfect - super soft, and they fall on the frame in a flattering manner. They also look like something Alexander Wang would do, at £15.99 it's a win-win. I've paired this top with my structured Zara trousers, which also seem to be glued to my legs as of recent. Though, you'll be glad to know I picked these trousers up in grey and white too!


I've forever been on the hunt for a less 'over the top' body chain, and when I stumbled upon this silver piece in the Topshop sale, I couldn't pass it by. At £4, I was willing to take a risk that I didn't have to regret later. I'm glad I picked it up, and if I never wear it again (which I'm sure I will) at least the urge has been satisfied! This is an incredibly dainty piece, which works perfectly for those, who like me, don't like to step out their comfort zone too much when it comes to accessorizing. Although this particular one is no longer available from Topshop, this ASOS offering is practically identical.
As always on errand running days, I keep minimal with my Michael Kors 'no faff' cross body bag, and for those asking, I've attached a River Island pompom chain to the strap. On my feet, I'm wearing a pair of patent black loafers that I bought from Office last year - although they have very similar styles here.

What are your thoughts on the duster and fedora trend?

The Perfect Everyday Bag


In the past, I was guilty of carrying a larger than average handbag containing a shopping list of (un)necessary items - from a spare toothbrush, to hairspray - you name it, I had it! Recently, I was introduced to the world of comfort and convenience. Hello ladies - there's really (really) no need to carry your whole life with you to the mall, and you certainly don't need all your toiletries and more just to go to work. Having received this little Michael Kors gem for my birthday only made me realise how much more suitable it is to my 'everyday needs' rather than the likes of massive totes and shoppers. Admittedly, this is a small bag, yes. Though realistically, it fits everything I need - sunglasses, purse, a couple of cosmetic items (lipstick & liner), chewing gum and my phone. I cannot begin to explain how much easier it is to rummage through sale racks, wonder through flea markets and enjoy days to the park without lugging around a bag that just *has* to sit on the crease of my arm.


I've had no issues in matching this bag to different outfits - in fact it's pretty much worked with everything I own in my wardrobe. So much so, that I've not reached for the likes of my Louis (Louis Vuitton Neverful MM) in months! Take what you will from this post, a short review of the Michael Kors Jet-Set Travel Safiano bag or perhaps the inspiration to ditch the larger than life bag trend. Don't get me wrong, I love my totes and shoppers, though this bag has grown to become my ideal everyday style addition.

Happy Styling!

How to Make Your Wardrobe Work

 
Outfit planning, to me, sounds a little bit old school and reminds me of the old Sixth Form days where I’d panic over the freedom of not having to wear uniform. Failing that, it reminds me of my desperate attempts to quickly get an outfit together for a ‘night out’ after work. The reality of it is that, outfit planning rarely works – but if it’s done right it can make your life a hell of a lot easier. 

 
1)   Firstly I recommend a tidy workspace. Tidy your room to make it easier to look for that t-shirt you may have lying behind your bed, or that Pandora ring that’s fallen off the side of your bedside table. An organised room makes for a well-organised outfit! 
2)  Start with a more ‘important’ item, and go from there. Sometimes I buy a new scarf and I’m like ‘I want to wear this scarf today’ – that makes it much more difficult to base an outfit around as opposed to choosing a pair of shoes or trousers to plan an outfit around. I recommend starting with your bottoms. 
3)  Now it’s time to jazz up the basis of your outfit – find a top that is well suited to the weather and your trousers. Now that you have your top and bottoms sorted, you have found the main skeleton of your outfit. 
4)  The rest is basically accessories! Shoes, jewellery and jacket if needed. 
5)   Leave the smaller bits to last – scarves, hats, etc. 

 
       Hope this helps you organise your outfits with less faff and hassle. Remember: There are no real rules when it comes to           what you wear. As long as you feel comfortable &you feel great in what you wear, that’s all that matters! Happy styling.

London Walks: OOTD



I recently managed to find a few bargains in the mid-season sale, so I wanted to show you one of my new favourite items - this gorgeous lilac-grey duster from New Look! I picked this piece up for £15, which is totally justifiable, as I was actually in the market for a similar style (there's only so much I can wear my ASOS duster right?)

The duster jacket trend has take the fashion world by storm, we've seen it repeatedly on celeb styling and on the catwalk. Thankfully, the fashion gods have answered our prayers, and made this sassy-chic style available but with high street price tags! I've seen the long-line blazers/duster jackets in almost every high street store I've been in from Zara to Primark. This style is totally doable and affordable. This is how I wore my new duster for a post-dinner evening stroll in London and it appears that I unintentionally went for the 'sport luxe' vibe in pairing my Nike trainers with my Chanel 2.5mm bag. Oddly enough it actually works (or so I think so!). The length, colour and double breasted lapel of the duster gives off that 'effortlessly chic' look that I love.

What are your thought's on the duster jacket trend - here to stay or time to move on?

Today's Favourites


Sometimes you can really keep your outfits super minimal and just rely on the character of one or two items to do the fashion talking. Leather pointies with gold hardware paired with a Chanel Classic flap-bag just oozes fashuun, duh (insert sassy emoji here). I was lucky enough to get gifted the Chanel 2.55mm small classic bag from my family for graduating, and I'm surprised at just how much this bag is adaptable to different outfits. I wear this with baggy tees and ripped jeans one day, and then I match it with a gorgeous midi dress and heels the next. I'm not one for prints, or super crowded textures and patterns, therefore my style seems to fall under that 'monochrome & minimalistic' umbrella so I never have to justify a flashy bag or a pair of shoes.

I've mentioned these pointies a few times before, and that's because I'm genuinely in love with them. They look expensive, though I grabbed them for a mere £9.99 in the Zara sale! They're real leather, super sturdy and also surprisingly versatile. Although this particular shoe is no longer available, I listed my favourite high street styles on a previous post (here). One paired with a pair of ripped skinnies, a classic v-neck white t-shirt and the gorgeous Chanel bag, you have yourself a tamed, but uber stylish look.

Happy Styling!

A Few Shades of Grey

 
Admittedly, last week wasn’t the best of British weather meaning my pictures for this outfit post are rather dull – much like the forecast of the minute. Though if every blogger was to wait around for brighter days with the presence of sun, at least for the sake of photos, then we’d be waiting around forever! I hope you’ll excuse the excessive grey of both this outfit and backdrop, at least for the sake of this wonderful canvas tote!


‘The Girl In The Café’ clothing range is the child of coffee lover's blog, Celeste Wong. Before the London Coffee Festival I hadn’t come across this brand or the range of clothing that came with it, but I’m so glad I have now! As you may or may not know (you totally should by now), I have a somewhat serious love affair with coffee, and I know exactly how I like my coffee. ‘Black, Strong, Bitter’. This canvas tote was one of the first things I set my eyes on upon entering the festival - I knew I just had to have it and I’ve been obsessed with it since. I love discovering unique clothing brands that not everyone is flaunting around – there’s something oh-so satisfying knowing not every next person is going to be rocking the same bag as I am. Therefore, I really encourage you to discover smaller (but by no means inferior) fashion brands – you’ll be surprised at the innovative and intricate designs you’ll find that will personally appeal to you as opposed to the masses! More often that not, these brands come with a smaller price tag, making you uber stylish & unique at a lower cost. 


My outfit was a variation of grey tones, from my Topshop ‘Mom’ jeans in an acid grey wash, to my grey-blue fedora from Next. I also opted for an over sized grey jumper (don’t I always) as the weather, as much as we don’t like to admit it, has been rather nippy! In a desperate attempt to layer, and remain stylish, I wore my long, heavy knit Zara cardigan over the top. 
 
 
Finally, on my feet I’m wearing my Primark rose gold double strap sandals – these were probably not the best choice considering it rained shortly after!  

Happy outfit styling, and I hope the weather has been slightly less gloomier for you lovelies.

It's In The Details


Today's post is a little snippet of what I've been reaching for a lot in the past couple of weeks - just a quick insight into my current loves.

Nars Sheer glow is the perfect day time foundation for me. I apply it with a beauty blending sponge (I love the Real Techniques Miracle Sponge), creating a thin layer for a natural day time coverage. You can also use a slightly heavier application, by layering the foundation for a more full coverage, yet natural, appearance. Although my skin tends to get slightly greasier on the t-zone area, I have had no issues with this product in terms of excessive oiliness - I tend to carry my Mac MSF with me everywhere anyway. For concealing any stubborn blemishes, I dab this Bare Mineral's 'bisque' concealer and it does a great job at covering scars!

Nars Laguna bronzer is a very natural 'glow' looking colour on my yellow tone skin, and although it doesn't add much in the bronzing department, it does a great job at creating a defined and *contoured* face. If you want a lot of warmth and depth of colour added to your complexion, and you have medium-yellow toned skin, I would suggest you give Nars Casino a go.

On lazier days, I ditch the winged liner and apply a swipe of this Sephora brown eyeliner closer to the lash line, just enough to add slight definition and then I coat the lashes with a mascara that separates the lashes whilst creating volume - this Mac Haute & Naughty mascara is great for that! I also put a stroke of this 'highlight' shadow by Mac, into the tear duct area to create the illusion of a wider and brighter eye. Finally, I've been finishing my minimal look with my one of my all time favourite Mac lipsticks, Yash.

As a self acclaimed lover of all things silver, I'm always reaching for a few silver bits of jewelery to complete my outfit. I've rediscovered this aztec inspired piece from Primark - the assortment of stone colours really stand out on an all black outfit, and this necklace just gives off a very vintage vibe. Love it.

Morticia Addams Goes White: ootd


Judging by the title of this post, you've probably gathered that this is a Saina style post with a twist. Saina ditches the black clothing (for once, and once only) and goes out in head-toe white! Tragic, I know. Sarcasm aside, I actually don't mind delving into an all white closet every now and then; It's real colour I have a fear of - reds, yellows and oranges.. Today's simple ensemble was an effort to embrace the partial Sunday sun that we had here in London - the denim jacket is a great alternative to leather jackets and an ideal choice during Spring months.


My white jeans are a pair of Topshop Joni jeans that I bought last year, and I'm still making wear out of (yay for white jeans still being 'in'). Although this jeans are 'super' high waisted, I still wear them with loose tops over them. And on top I'm wearing an Urban Outfitters shoulder cutout top, find similar style here. Finally, I opted for my vintage Levis jacket - similar here. This breaks up a somewhat 'feminine' look and not only adds colour, but some 'texture' to the outfit. On my feet, I'm wearing the £4 Primark snake print sliders that I wrote about here.


On a normal day-day basis, I don't tend to opt for clutch bags as they're, let's face it, just an inconvenience to permanently hold, and sometimes give off a pretentious vibe (anyone else get that?). However, for a Sunday family brunch and coffee I deemed it worthy. It also is a great 'earthy' addition to my almost all white colour palette. I bought this leather clutch for £1 at a local charity shop - again, I highly recommend you give second hand buys a chance! You never know what unique pieces you can find. As always I stacked on an assortment of rings, refer back to my 'Magpies Picks' post (here) to find my favourite silver jewelery online stores. I'm also wearing my new love, this Topshop collar necklace featuring a marble like stone.

Favourite Juice Recipe


Following my one of my previous posts about my love for at home juicing and smoothie making, I felt it was about time I shared my favourite juicing recipe with you. Keep on reading to find the ingredients for this quick and easy, but incredibly tasty power pineapple juice!

Recipe: 
1/2 Pineapple (approx 1 cup)
1 Large Lemon
1 handful of mixed berries - I used blueberries, blackberries and rasperries (approx 1 cup)
Knob of ginger (a few slices would do)


The ingredients of this juice are super great for your body as they include a whole host of health benefits - ginger is great for soothing colds and flus, berries are filled with anti oxidants, lemon juice can support weight loss and aid digestion and pineapples (apart from being delicious) are a good source of Vitaminc C!

Happy juicing.

Monochrome in Mornington Crescent

Here's another style post, featuring my beloved flared trousers that I've basically been living in at the moment. I found these trousers in New Look - a store I don't tend to shop or find things in, but I've been loving this bargain beauty! When I first showed my mum these trousers she had a moment of 'Oh God, how are you going to make these work?' but I think I've since proved her otherwise. These trousers are super versatile, making them the perfect wardrobe gamble. I've worn them on a night out with heels and a crop top, and I've also worn them looking uber casual with a printed tee and sandals.Today, I was going for dinner and decided to dress somewhere 'in between'.

To avoid looking overly dressed up, or too fancy shmancy, I paired the trousers with a very simple white crop top from Topshop's basics - find similar style here. As always, I relied on my faux leather jacket to give my outfit a little bit of that 'edgy' but 'effortless' oomph - find the jacket I'm wearing here.

Jewelery was kept pretty minimal, and I left the outfit accessories to do the talking - I wore my Miss Selfridge black fedora (this seems to be stuck to my head these days, honestly). As a lover of all things vintage, this cute little tan shoulder bag belonged to my grandmother and I adore its place in my wardrobe. I can't recommend enough taking a trip to your local vintage shops, charity shops and flea markets! You can find unique pieces that make your style stand out, and chances are no one will be rocking the same items. Finally, on my feet I'm wearing my recently bought Primark sliders, these seem to match everything I style so I've already made so much use out of the £3 (?!) price tag.

Today's Fine Details: Magpies Picks


I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to silver items, and although I won't be stealing your finest silver jewelery, I do have an ever growing collection of all things Sterling Silver. I don't usually tend to plan what necklace or rings I'm wearing, in fact the general rule goes that anything I can find that morning, I'll stack on! Certain rings have a tendency of disappearing on me, and then reappearing when I've almost given up on the idea of finding them again - perhaps there's another magpie lurking around!

When I was getting dressed this morning, I thought it would be a good idea to show you some of today's finer details, as opposed to focusing on my outfit. Most silver pieces that I have accumulated comes from my trips to the motherland (Iran), and although that's no good to you, unless you're planning a trip there, which I totally recommend you do (see my Tehran post here) - I thought I should share with you some of my favourite fashion jewelery brands where you can find similar pieces. Also, in case you were wondering what I've got on my nails at the moment, it's OPI's Coney Island Cotton - this is a soft 'mannequin' nail colour, perfect with ladies who have yellow undertoned skin! My Dior Addict Extreme in 'Mystic 369' has also been one of my recent go-to nude shades. This is a no faff lipstick that applies quite sheer and doesn't require much effort!

Current Hair Styling Products

When it comes to my hair I don't tend to experiment a lot. In fact, I've pretty much been stuck in the same hair styling routine for the past couple of years. Although I haven't switched up my style, I've dabbled into a few new products and found myself a roundup of products.

1) Charles Worthington Texturising Spray: I was initially attracted to picking up this hair texturiser because of an extremely popular cult favourite, Oribe Dry Texturising Spray; unfortunately this product is also extremely expensive. As a general consensus on the blogosphere, the Charles Worthington spray is a cheaper alternative of the Oribe one. I haven't looked back since I first picked this cult favourite up last year! It's the perfect addition, basically like the missing link in my hair styling routine. If like me, you hate freshly washed 'fluffy' hair and prefer that second day hair look and feel, then this product is great for you. It gives your hair extra grit and achieves a backcombed, voluminous look on in one bottle.

2) JLife Heat Shield: If you know me, you know I very rarely put any heat on my hair - not only in fear of hair damage, but also out of sheer laziness! If I'm feeling extra adventurous I take to my hair diffuser for added volume. Obviously, that has a negative effect on the health of my hair so a heat protection product is needed. JLife is not a product I'm too familiar with, but having received a couple of their products in a London Fashion Week goodie bag, I've become a total covert to their brand. This leave in spray reduces potential heat damage whilst providing gentle conditioning. This is a no faff product and does exactly what it says on the tin (or bottle).

3) Aussie Miracle Styling Mousse: Hair mousse takes me back to my early teens, where I used to mousse an' scrunch my hair to the max! Mousse now has a completely different meaning in my hair styling routine. I run about a pump or two of this product through my hair - from the roots down, whilst it's wet, for added volume. My hair tends to fall straight naturally - I'm lucky one or two waves make an appearance but that's about it. This product just helps maintain some wave definition and shine without appearing 'crunchy'.

4) JLife Serum: I take about a pump or two into the palm of my hand and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of lightly towel dried hair. This product can be used in both wet or dry hair for that added sheen and to help tame frizz. I've found it to work beautifully without weighing my hair down, or making it feel greasy, which some de-frizzers have done.

5) Stila Hair Refreshener: This product gives me life, literally. It's the best dry shampoo I've set my paws on, and it has so many extra uses than a simple freshening of greasy roots! I use this product for volume, grip, texture and it makes my hair not only look, but feel clean. I couldn't recommend this product enough for any of the above uses. If you have lifeless, straight hair that's prone to appearing greasy, give this Stila gem a go!

Let me know what some of your hair faves are.

Spring Style: OOTD


You know it's Spring, when you grab for your leather jacket without any hesitation or doubts in fear of the cold! London, infamously known for its temperamental weather, has been staying true to its reputation by giving a bucket load of mixed signals. Right now, I'm sat indoors with the heating on full blast and wooly slippers on, whilst a couple of days back I was frantically reaching for my sunnies and some ice cream! Last week, we were lucky enough to have a few Spring like days and with the sun making an appearance coats were no longer needed. Here's a look at one of my outfits featuring my trusty leather jacket.


Admittedly, these tailored trousers do nothing for my figure, but when Topshop has a sale and you found the last item in a couple of sizes up you either make it work, or spend the rest of the week regretting your choice. These linen trousers are super soft to the touch, making them the perfect pair of 'work' trousers. Spacious, but somewhat stylish. There's nothing worse than being uncomfortable in skinny jeans whilst you're sat at a desk with a mountain load of things to do! This black knitted jumper was a Zara A/W 14 purchase, and I just adore the side slits and the dipped hem style of it. The ribbed detailing and the structure of the upper arms makes it seem like something more than a 'baggy old jumper' - when essentially that's all it really is!


These trousers really have that 'Sport-Luxe' feel with the black side paneling, and I rolled them up ever so slightly just to make them appear a little more casual (also to make them slightly tighter at the ankles, seriously loose sizing). My shoes are my sturdy leather Zara pointies with gold hardware - you guys know how much I love these shoes and I've mentioned them a couple of times before. Although this exact style is no longer available, I listed my favourite similar styles that are still available from high street stores - check out that post here.
