Outfits For College 


Today I've decided to show you a few of my recent

 The Fashion Institute!

The college itself is absolute perfection and everyone always 
turns up looking their best! 

Some of my favourite pieces that I love wearing to the city
in the winter time are my R.M.WILLIAMS boots, 
Black boyfriend style trench coat, Black bardot pencil skirt 
and any kind of knitted jumper! 



Adventure time tights, aw yus!


Trench coat on my birthday! 


Faux furrrrrrrr!

Day in the life of Shan #1


Holla Friends!

Today's post is kinda like 'a day in the life of Shan'. 

I would like to do these kind of posts more often,
I like sharing my experiences and daily 
thoughts with people all over the world. 
I think they will be mostly fashion orientated 
as I am starting at The Fashion Institute in early Feb!
SO EXCITED!

Anyways.. we will hear more about that in the
near future!


Today I spent the day shopping with my parents
and I got a couple of beautiful pieces.
(which we will see tomorrow)


Shoes: Rubi Shoes
Kimono: Mink Pink
Dress: Supre 
(It was on the clearance rack for like $5!)
Bag: Colette by Colette Hayman.


  

Watch: Wallace Bishop
diamond Bracelet: SWAROVSKI
Heart Bracelet: Ebay (for $1!)


Then we went to the Dixon House Food Court 
in China Town for dinner,
my favourite place to buy Chinese food!



I have never found another Chinese restaurant that makes food
as good as here!
I do admit is looks a bit grubby when you first walk in,
but there are always cleaners walking around,
cleaning the tables and clearing away food!
The food is definitely worth it! 
Plus, Its cheap!


Well, That's the end of today's post.
We didn't really do anything too interesting but 
Many more adventures are on the way!


Until next time!

Love Shan! x

Tutorial - Distressed/Ripped Jeans.



Hi Everyone!

Today's post is a distressed/ripped jeans tutorial! 
These jeans were super easy to create and look so edgy and chic.


Things you will need:
Chalk
Scissors
Wet sponge
Old pair of jeans

Firstly, put your old jeans on and find your knee cap.


Then, draw a ling across your knee cap with the chalk.
Tip: To get a thick, opaque line, break the chalk in half
and use the broken end to draw your line.


Take off the jeans and lay them flat on the floor.


Next, pinch one side of the jean pant and snip along the chalk line your scissors.
Be careful not to cut through to the other side.


Cut straight along the chalk line until you can fit 3 fingers in the hole.




Try on the jeans and if you'd prefer the holes to be wider, 
cut further towards the outside equally on both sides.


Take the jeans off and place the tip of the scissors into the first thread,
pull the scissors up and out (in a semi-circle motion) and pull the thread out. 
Do this until you have a desired amount of distressing/ripping. 


When you're finished distressing/ripping the jeans, take a damp sponge 
and wipe off the chalk line.


 And you're done !





These can be paired with so many shirts and jackets. 

How I would style:
Pairing these jeans with a dark, graphic tee, a checkered scarf,
Combat boots and a leather jacket would create an edgy, chic look. 

I hope you liked this tutorial! 

Until next time..

Wednesday Addams Makeup Tutorial.




Hi Everyone!

Today's post is Wednesday Addams Halloween tutorial!


Firstly I created sad, dark and tired eyes using a grey eyeshadow
all over the lids, up to the brow and under my eyes. blending it right out.
Then I took a small amount of black and put it through the crease and 
in the inner corner, right next to the bridge of the nose.
I lined my tightline with a black pencil liner to darken my lash line. 
I filled in my eyebrows with black eyeshadow.


Then I applied some brown lipstick and patted some black eyeshadow 
on the inside part of my lip. This created depth and darkened up my lips.


I created a fake widows peak with black eyeshadow and a black pencil liner.


I braided my wig into two braids.


This is the completed look! 





This is a great look for parties and get togethers!

Thankyou so much for reading!

Until next time!

Halloween Tutorial - Stitches



Hi Everyone! 

Today's post is very special!
My very first YouTube tutorial!



This Halloween season, I've been creating YouTube videos
to show you all! 
The very first is a super easy decapitated head and stitches 
Halloween look!
Created by using makeup!

Here is the link:



The products I used were :

Bobbi Brown Blush- I used this to make the neck wound look
raised and inflamed.


 Rimmel Blush Trio: I used this to deepen the redness of the skin
and to blend colors together.



Kate Moss Lipstick 09 by Rimmel : I used this to act as blood,
I wanted this look to be achievable for everyone, I wasn't going to spend
money on products not everyone could get a hold of.



Oasis - Chi Chi Palettes: The black and the darkest blue came in very handy
as they acted as bruising/cool toned colors. 



Bronzes - Chi Chi Palettes: I used mostly the redish purple and the dark purple
colors from this palette. ( 2nd and 3rd from the right )



DiorShow Art Pen- I used this to draw on the stitches,
 I wouldn't recommend using such a high-end makeup product, 
I would go for a Rimmel or Maybeline Eeeliner next time.


This look is mostly just layering colors until you're happy with it.

When I started on my face makeup, 
I left most of my face clear of products because
 I wanted a natural and more pale look,
 I sculpted out my face with
the bruised tones and made myself look very tired.  


I hope this helps anyone looking for an easy makeup/costume 
for Halloween!
