Beyonce's Paris garde-robe

The Carter-Knowles family was in the city of light last week for the French leg of Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne tour. 

Beyoncé provided some entertainment on herself by stepping out of her hotel in a series of killer outfits and sending the horde of paparazzi diligently waiting for her in a total frenzy.

1. Beyonce wearing a DSquared black and red tuxedo jacket, J Brand skinny leather pants, Alexander McQueen "Demanta" clutch, and Tom Ford gold chain ankle strap wedges
2. Wearing a Carven shirt, Vionnet trousers and Christian Louboutin pointed courts
3. Wearing Spring to Air jacket, t-shirt and shorts, Alexander McQueen "Demanta" clutch, Prada "Tail Light" jewel toes wedges and The Row for Mia Farrow sunglasses


Which look do you like best?

Floral Peplums

I used to hate peplum-fitted clothes when they first re-emerged on the catwalk in 2008/2009 after decades of silence. Regardless whether it was a top, a dress or a skirt; I stayed well cleared of them. Peplum is simply not the most flattering shape! I thought it would be one of those trends that will come and go once people realized that! And it did; at least for a while, but came back with a vengeance with the S/S12 collections!
I've been looking at the high-street versions of the frill and have to admit that I fell head over heels in love with their floral prints of the look. 

I am currently doing 200 crunches, 5 days a week with the hope that very soon I will be able to rock one of these frocks!

The perfect outfit to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee

For most of us, the Jubilee is synonym of street parties, wine-drinking and of course new outfit-shopping.
I've had my eyes set on a Dorothy Perkins summer dress for a few weeks before finally giving in and buying it alongside a white clutch and a brand new pair of blue sandals I got from San Marina (one of my favourite footwear retailers alongside Minelli when I'm in France).


I love the fact that this key piece offers so many colour options for shoes and accessories. 

To avoid looking like a 1950's housewife I intend to toughen up the look by wearing my old and battered small black leather jacket over the dress (dark green or navy blue would have been better but I've got to do with what I've got). It will give the outfit an edge and will certainly keep me warm and dry (ish)!

Product review: Mizani True Textures

It's been long overdue but here is my review on the Mizani True Textures Curl Balance Shampoo and Cleansing Cream Conditioning Curl Wash.
I first bought these two products back in February 2012 when I ran out of my Keracare Natural Textures Cleansing Cream. 
I really love the velvety and luxurious feel the shampoo has. It leaves my scalp clean, and my hair moisturized and smooth. 


I am a massive fan of co-washing. When I don't have time to wash my hair - as I never ever shampoo my tresses without deep conditioning them before - co-washing is a great alternative to get that feeling of freshness and moisture, well, as long have you have the right product in hand. 
This is where the Cleansing Cream is a winner for me. I use it on a weekly basis when I need to refresh my hair and scalp between shampoos. It gets rid of all the products build-up, leaves my hair soft, clean and tangle-free! 

Overall, the Mizani True Textures Curl Balance Shampoo and Cleansing Cream are pretty good, but as much as the shampoo leaves my tresses and my daughter's soft and moisturized; it doesn't leave them tangle-free like the Keracare Natural Textures Cleansing Cream. A conditioner like the Mizani True Textures Curl Replenish Intense Moisturizing Mask needs to be used right after the shampoo.


Enjoy!
