The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return!

(source)

I get inspired by films all the time! I just love to escape to another world, another time & era and live through someone else for two hours or so ;)

Today I'm inspired by Moulin Rouge, an absolutely amazing musical that takes place in Paris around 1899-1900 (I'm sure you've all seen it).

The costumes and colours take my breath away every time I watch this film (not to mention the music and *drool alert* Ewan McGregor!)

Favourite scene:

*DREAMY*



Anybody else in love with Ewan McGregor's voice?

I am loving...

... YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils mascara in Sublime Grey ♥

To be honest I love this mascara mostly for its colour. Grey is a nice natural colour and a fun alternative to brown for daytime wear.

I still prefer Maybelline Colossal when it comes to the brush and the easiness of the application, but I love the result I get with this grey YSL mascara... hello volume!

Oh, and the mascara smells like perfume - LOVE THAT! :D

♥

Heart warming videos!

Tell me which one is your favourite ;)

Just look at that face!

Naaaaaaw!

Scary...

Chicken!

Maru is back!

I just love videos like this - it's impossible not to smile! :D



Enjoy the best day of the week - saturday!

I've wanted Deep Throat and Orgasm Multiple for aaaaaaaages...

I am loving...

... MAC's mineralize blush in Moon River ♥

Moon River is so pretty in the pan (look at all the different colours!) and works either as an amazing pale pink blush or as a shimmery highlighter if you use the multicoloured side.

I use this as a daytime blush, as it is quite subtle. It gives me a sweet pink glow.

I just adore this product!

My Favourite Necklaces

I have a few necklaces that I seem to use over and over, so I must love them more than the rest!

Looking through my collection, my favourites tend to be fairly simple looking gold/silver long chained necklaces, and I thought it would be fun to take some pictures and show you guys :)

In no particular order...

A silver fairy...

Silver heart from Tiffany & Co...

A gold leaf from Oasis...

A massive gold heart from Miss Selfridge...

My 'love' necklace from Accessorize...

A gold 'ball' also from Accessorize...

Flower ball from H & M...

These are definitely my favourites. They go with pretty much anything from casual daywear to fancy evening dress :)

I would love to see/hear what your favourite necklaces are...? :)

♥

Stephanie Pratt's blue eyeliner...

Yay or nay?

She said on twitter this morning that she uses 'Kitty' by NARS,

a gorgeous turquoise blue.

I have to admit that I am tempted to run out and buy...

Anyone else?

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?

♥-ing this song!

You wait for a silence

I wait for a word
Lie next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
And you are changing me
Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be


We're interrupted by the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent what's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
And when I feel it, you're wearing thin

But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
Because I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me


Sat on your sofa...it's all broken springs
This isn't the place for those violin strings
I try out a smile and I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do


But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
Because I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me


You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
You wait, I wait, casting shadows


But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
Because I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me


But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
Because I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me
