Moncler Hip-Hop Ballet Flop

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During SS18 Paris Fashion Week, Moncler showed of some very beautiful pieces...however, the dance pieces weren't. Click the link to take a look at the clip below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Um, okay...First of all, Moncler was a beautiful show with lots of great fashion and music. My only concern is the hip-hop ballet dancers. I feel as if all they did was hop around the runway and not really giving us a Moncler-worthy performance. I am not saying that the dancers have no talent, i'm,100% sure that they do, the issue is that they didn't show it off at all. 

Here is an image of the hip-hop ballerinas:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Definitely not the best move...especially for a show at Paris Fashion Week. 
Below are some of the beautiful models on the runway.

1O Travel Essentials

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Hey there! Welcome back to my blog! This post will be my absolute must-have essentials for traveling. Doesn't matter where to, there are just general ones. Enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 1:


Headphones are always much needed for traveling. Whether you're on a plane going somewhere exotic, in the car going somewhere just outside your city or even on a cruise. You'll need your headphones while you're waiting out the hours till you reach your destination. They help with your excitement and help you focus more on the music instead of counting the hours!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 2:


When you know that you're gonna be on a long trip, you'll now that sleep is one of the best ways to pass time! But ig you're in a car, trying to sleep, the lights will flash through the windows as you drive by them and that could be really annoying. Or when you're on a plane and the person next to you, behind you or in front of you has there light on, that can be annoying to. But never fear for the sleeping masks are here! Simply purchase one for a store near you or online before you go on your trip. That way you can sleep well without being disturbed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 3: 


My favorite essential so far definitely has to be a good book! (I will be doing an article of my top 10 books!) A book is such a good way to escape reality wherever you are and take you into another world...It helps pass time and really keeps you busy and interested in the book instead of impatiently waiting for you to arrive at your holiday or any destination.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 4:


Snacks are always a must-have. Even though if you're on a plane and they might serve meals, it's always good to have your own snacks in case you don't like what they serve or if you aren't able to eat it due to dietary requirements. But snacks in general for a trip anywhere for a long distance trip are good. That way you don't have to stop to get food if you're in a car or you don't have to eat the food the staff on a plane offers you. My suggestion is to pack healthy snacks instead, But unhealthy snacks can be okay at times too, just not too many. (I will also be doing a health meal prep for a week soon!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 5:


A tablet or iPad is a good idea to take along, make sure you have games or fashion or beauty apps on there to keep you occupied! Playing games and fashion/beauty apps are fun as it is, so what better way to use that to your advantage while you're traveling.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 6:


Sunglasses aren't meant for the getting-there-part, unless you're taking a road trip. However, there is no such thing as a holiday or trip without a good, stylish pair of sunglasses to rock on the beach, walking through the villages or wherever the sun seems to shine! They're great for pictures too!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 7:


What happens if you have been on your phone during a trip listening to music or watching a show on it and it dies? Simple, you pack a power bank. You're able to get them at tech stores or online. Make sure you purchase one that is of good quality so it actually lands up charging your phone. So don't forget to pack one with you in your carry on or backpack!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 8:


Luggage and carry on bags are obviously an essential when it comes to traveling, however, you need to know how many bags are needed and one carry on bag. You should pack according to where you are going and what season it is there. I use an app called Packpoint. (I will be mentioning more about Packpoint in a blog with packing list) 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 9:


When traveling, you should be wearing a comfortable outfit. It's not a fashion show but you can still look stylish. My go-to is usually a pair of comfy black jeans which you can pair with absolutely anything. Wear comfortable walking shoes too so your feet don't land up hurting and getting cramps.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESSENTIAL 10: 


The final essential is the most important one. Water is highly recommended to carry around wherever you go. It's always a good idea to keep a bottle with you while you travel anywhere. You need to be able to stay hydrated!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SS18 Louis Vuitton Fashion Show

SS18 LOUIS VUITTON FASHION SHOW: 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMAGE 1:


For those who aren't 100% sure, SS18 stands for Spring-Summer 2018. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMAGE 2:


Louis Vuitton put together one of the most eye catching, jaw dropping fashion shows for SS18, and its pretty obvious as to why.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMAGE 3:


This show mixed and matched patterns, colors and textures. He made it work without a doubt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMAGE 4:


If you would like to see all 48 images from the Louis Vuitton Fashion Show, just click the link below:

Weird And Wonderful MakeUp

IMAGE 1:


First of all...WOW. The purple hair in this image really ties the entire makeup-unicorn-style look together. The holographic look isn't even an eyeshadow and it's not even on her eyelids. The fact that people are now taking makeup to new and apparently, intergalactic, levels. What was used however, is a highlighter, just above the brow and slightly on the brow, in the corners of the eyes and along the cheekbones. Its subtle yet absolutely beautiful... It can be a fairytale look, a intergalactic look or even a look for a festival. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMAGE 2:


One word...INCREDIBLE. Face paint was used here to create an artistic touch to the models face. Her red stained lips have a few touched of white, creating a highlighted effect. The overall look actually makes this image look like the model was painted instead of the photographer taking the picture. The blue contact lenses really tie everything together and keep the color scheme consistent. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMAGE 3:


This look is more of a mix of purples, blues, pinks and whites in a messy painting style. The makeup artist painted over the eyebrows slightly, as the eyebrows are a very light blonde shade. The painted eyelashes blend in well with the rest of the eye look. Its blotchy but its interesting and eye catching.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMAGE 4:


This final look is rather similar to the first image. Except, this one has more of a darker purple with blue in the corners of the eyes. The highlight sweeps under the eyebrow in a thin, simplistic line and blends into the inner of the eye and moves just below that. Under the eye, above the eyebrow and on the eyelid, if you look close enough, there is a silver glitter to add as a finishing touch and to balance out the whole look.
