Simulating Leather Look
Leather is a definitive range of clothing for women and is a timeless piece.
In a modern pop culture world, fabrics simulating leather such as polyurethane or PVC are alternatives used for one that is in pursuit of buying economically or for the need of a vegan lifestyle.
Regardless, the needs of the wearer is the overall ensemble as it develops the character identity you want to show.

NEW VIDEO: How to Contour and Highlight

*Description below from the video info bar

Whether you want your face to look slimmer, or give a more 'sculpted' look, contouring and highlighting is definitely your friend. It's blown up recently, probably because it's flattering on everybody (ahem, and because of the Kardashians).

I'm a 'shortcut' kind of girl and like quick ways of doing things, so I rely on a darker powder to sculpt as opposed to creams or darker foundations which take more time to blend. My tip is to buy a pressed powder about 3 shades darker than your skin tone, instead of bronzers which end up having some shimmer or turn out too orange! In terms of brushes, it can be anything! Don't feel restricted to just angled brushes, any blush or powder brush will be fine.

Highlighting suits night time as it reflects the light so beautifully, and can seen little bit too much for day, but totally rock it with a lighter powder (not as shimmery) for day time if you want!

I hope you enjoy my tutorials! I want to keep it short and simple for the busy ladies out there!

Please let me know what other 'How to' tutorials you'd like to see!

I'm a fan of Maiden

maidenthreads.blogspot.com.au

That is all. 

Ok maybe not. I'm a fan of Maie of Maiden Threads. I've known her since 2008 from mutual friends and have followed her blog from a distance for almost 5 years, admiring her empire slowly grow. Seeing her at her exhibition 'Friends of Maiden' completely blew my mind and I feel she has huge potential to be one of Australia's best designers. She's the kindest, nicest, friendliest girl (she designed my bridesmaids dresses!), with so much style, I just, I mean, look at her trousers! Like her Facebook page, and follow her blog, I feel so blessed to know another creative soul in Maie.

Brunch is one of the best lady institutions I have experienced.
It's meeting up with your girlfriends, drinking delicious coffee and eating amazing food, three of my favourite past times. These are my observations...

Our first F&S Video! 3 Ways to tie a Headscarf

Behold our first Find & Steal video!

Yesterday, myself and Haiina were hanging out at Sham's house, and I thought, I have a scarf expert with me, show me some looks! So we filmed 2 looks, and then I tried it myself and made another look!  This is perfect for those bad hair days, or days you can't be bothered styling, which is me when I wake up late for work!

It works best with stretchy, less smooth scarves so they can stay in place when tied up. Hope you enjoy the video! Please like or subscribe to our channel for more!

Lady Gaga subliminally sets our makeup and fashion trends

Lady Gaga is a trendsetter. 'No she's not! She's too outrageous!'.

Well, have you had the desire to dye your hair a pastel colour, specifically mint green? Or have you bought a pastel coloured sweater, shirt or jeans? In her video 

Marry The Night: The Prelude Pathétique, she predicted that mint was going to be the colour of Spring 2012 "and I also believe that mint will be very big in fashion next Spring." And wow, we went on a mint crazy in 2012, but did we attribute it to Lady Gaga? 

In saying that, let's see what Lady Gaga trend will continue onto 2013? 

I believe it will be brown lipstick, brown or natural eyeshadows with strong brows. Did you follow Lady Gaga's twitter photos in 2012? Or analyse her makeup at events? 

They all had a muted red or brown lip, overdrawn. 

Strong liquid eyeliner, above the eye only. 

Filled in brows and slightly exaggerated. 

That's it, I think that's the biggest 2013 trend. I'm already noticing YouTube makeup gurus doing tutorials on brown eye looks and 'natural' looks with a mix of shimmer and matte brown shadows. I've already moved my pink lipsticks aside and dusting off my brown lipliners and bought a brown NYX lipstick on my trip to Jakarta. 

And yes, I'm a HUGE Lady Gaga fan.
