Fashion Icon Friday - Eva Mendes

Fashion Icon Friday - Eva MendesEva Mendes is an American actress famous for staring in films such as 2 Fast 2 Furious, Stuck on You, We Own the Night and Hitch where I first came across her. She is a supporter of PETA and has starred in a naked campaign titled "Fur? I'd rather go naked". She also appeared in The Strokes video "The end has no end".
Another star that proves you do not have to flash everything in order to be noticed. She proves that you can make it in showbusinesses without falling out of taxis and flashing your lady garden for everyone to see. She always looks so elegant and polished. Her make up is flawless without being caked on and her hair is always perfect.
I dont think that I have seen her in a mindress, instead she prefers to wear dresses to the knee or just above. She seems to favor a 50's silhouette and places emphasis on her tiny waist. What I wouldn't do to have a pair of pins like that!I adore this outfit that she wore to the Golden Globes in 2009, the necklace looks amazing against her skin and is such a good contrast to the dress. She has not over done it on the accessories. This outfit is pure elegance.

Scallop edges

I have decided I am in love with scallop edging, there is just something so pretty and feminine about it. It seems to make a piece of clothing a hundred times more beautiful. I think I need some additions for my wardrobe.

Some items that I am lusting over but will most probably not be mine due to my poor wage packet.
Topshop
I would love to wear this shirt with a pair of high wasited bleached demin shorts in the summer. I would just add tights in the colder months to the outfits. I love the contast of the black collar. To be honest its not actually badly priced at £24. In fact its a bargain for Topshop. I might treat myself next month, I have done so much overtime this month I am due a monster pay packet. Topshop

Ahhh these shorts, I have seen them in so many magazines recently and its only intensified my need for them! The colour is amazing in real life and just screams summer to me. I think I would pair them with a black body and black platforms to let the shorts do the talking. They are £34.

Topshop

Again these tops are not badly priced for Topshop at £15. The only thing that had stopped me from buying them is the fact that I do not know what colour to choose! They are all so pretty! On my way to uni today I spotted replicas in a local boutique for only £8. Practically the exact top! Its a lovely coral colour, I think I might accidently go back on my lunch break and buy it!

Dorothy Perkins

I love the colour of this shift dress. It is such a lovely vibrant colour. It is such a simple and chic design, prefect to wear to work. It is priced at £33.

22 grand job, in the city it's alright

Outfit:

50s style dress: Primark

Velvet cropped jacket: Topshop

Tights: Primark

Patent square toed shoes: Next

Jewellery: Tiffany

Watch: Toywatch

This dress is a payday treat. Its the only thing I am going to buy this month. I really need to start saving. It has been sitting in my Primark for about a week in my size, must have been a return as it was the only one. It was fate that it became mine! I love the print on the top. Ugh my face looks so rough haha! I don't cope with hangovers very well! I could not be bothered with my hair so just scrapped it back. Effort is not my friend today!

I am extremely hungover. Still. I blame the 6 hour shift at work which was torture! Luckily I was hidden in the stockroom so was away from all the hustle and bustle! I got some amazing news at work today. I no longer work the weekends as from 20th march. Result, no more hangovers at work! Woop woop haha!

A quick outfit post of what I am wearing tonight. I'm going out for a chinese buffet with some people from work. I so need this, hopefully it will sort my hangover out and stop me from being such a wimp. I am planning on stuffing my face to the max. I have to get my moneys worth haha!

Hope you all have a lovely evening!
