My Favourite Vlogs of the Moment

YouTube is starting to impact on my ability to hold a conversation. As soon as I hear someone asking a question my reflex action is to shout “YouTube it”.

The world may be my oyster but YouTube is my university. I learnt how to remove a security tag (long story), how to make a bedhead, and how to fix problems with my computer. I am sure I could learn how to perform surgery if someone would just lie still enough!

My main obsession is keeping up with new makeup styles and techniques. I can justify this by calling it professional development. Even if you don't work as a makeup artist or stylist I am sure your boss expects you to look nice at work, so don't feel guilty watching these vlogs at your desk:

Important Notes:

By my logic professional development hours also include time spent clothes shopping and at beauty appointments!

For those of you who aren't used to seeing men with makeup on (ie models) don't be freaked out that Wayne shows the techniques on himself.

Even More Furtastic

The teenager cracked up laughing when she found me snuggled up on the couch in my fur jacket. I was reliving the days when on the way home from a party or dinner my mum would throw her fur coat over me in the backseat.

I’m attracted to coloured, shaggy OTT furs , no surprises there. I'm sure the cold is bringing out the crazy in me more than usual.

Pairing them with skinny jeans and skyscraper shoes stops them overwhelmng my teeny frame and makes me look more like a powder puff lollipop (not a bad thing!).

My jacket's a lucky find from the thrift store but when I win the lottery I’m heading over to Balmain for this purple number, then I'll pop over to Celine for a nice pink and blue one,  and if it's only second or third prize I'll be shopping up a storm online at www.topshop.com .

Wednesday's Wisdom

Layer upon layer

Somedays I feel like a Sara Lee Danish, layer upon layer upon layer.

This winter there's been a few days where even my tights don’t keep my legs warm enough so I've been trying to utilise some of my maxis. I'm particuarly keen on wearing them with cropped leather jackets and boots. I have even considered donning a pair of sneaky leg warmers underneath!

The Love Bridge

It’s no good trying to stand in the way of love. The love locks on the Pont des Arts are back in force after being mysteriously removed under cover of darkness in May 2010.

Here in NZ what we lack in romantic sensabilities we make up for in picturesque landscapes, behold our own Cardrona Bra Fence.
