Friday Frills

Be someone who listens and you will be heard.


Be someone who cares and you will be loved.


Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed.


Be someone who comforts, and you will know peace.



Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise.


Be someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired.


Be someone who values truth and you will be respected.


Be someone who takes action, and you will move life forward.



Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich.


Be someone filled with gratitude, 

And there will be no end to things for which you'll be thankful.



Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly shines.


Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to be.

Mascaram Maxx & Sephora The Beauty Week

Merhabalar,

Yeni dönemin başlamasıyla yine yoğun bir temponun içinde buldum kendimi maalesef.Bu süreçte kendimi çok yorgun ve mutsuz hissettiğim zamanlar da oldu.Ama hayata pozitif baktığın sürece karşına her zaman küçük sürprizler çıkarır.Online güzellik sitesi Mascaram Maxx 'in Jimmy Choo Flash parfüm hediyeli yarışmasını kazanmak gibi mesela :) 

PS: Mascaram Maxx Türkiye'nin ilk online güzellik sitesi olduğu gibi, güzel hediyelerle okuyucularını ödüllendiriyor.Takip edin derim :)

Bugün, hazır yoğunluktan biraz ara bulmuşken, hediyemi almak ve Sephora'nın Vogue işbirliğiyle düzenlediği The Beauty Week event'ine katılmak amacıyla İstinye Park'a gittim.Vogue Türkiye editörlerinin seçtiği makyaj önerilerini The Beauty Week'e özel olarak Make Up For Ever ürünleriyle görme şansım oldu.Bu arada modeller incecik fidan gibi salınırken, benim aklım Godiva'nın muhteşem çikolatasıyla kaplı çileklerde kaldı.(Sonra Lady neden kilo veremiyor? )

Antika Blackberry'min çektiği kadarıyla benim objektifimden Sephora The Beauty Week :

Ps 2: Neşe Erberk (5.foto) aradan geçen yıllara rağmen hala genç,hala duru güzelliğini koruyor.Hayran kaldım.

Marie Claire Sets Spring Trends 2013

Marie Claire UK

March 2013



The March edition of Marie Claire UK has everything we need to know about Spring's upcoming trends. Their chicly studio~shot fashion spread features stunning model Nico O, styled by Jayne Pickering, in the ideal guide to the most modish looks and key styles for the season. 

Ruffles. Gucci introduces us to oversized ruffles and key-hole cut-out necklines in this vivid floral swirl silk print dress from their enticing SS13 collection. Hot pink ankle strap sandals and a bejewelled neckpiece accompany this look.

See-Through & Checks. Nico models what is an increasing popular trend already on the red carpet. Louis Vuitton imposes a series of see-through checks and block prints for Spring. She wears a white sequined bodysuit with checked silk cut-out skirt and leather pumps.

Sicilian Holiday. We have Dolce & Gabbana to thank for taking us on a journey through Italy with their expressive prints. Nico is beautiful in a black lace and silk organza print dress with puff sleeves. Chunky colourful raffia earrings add to the charm of this trend.

Luxe Sport. Of all 80 looks from Chanel's Spring 2013 collection, this was the last one I expected to see in editorial. But I am glad it was selected as it shows the sports luxe side of the famously feminine French label. Nico wears a white cotton blend zip-up quilted jacket...sprinkled with a few glass pearls...it is Chanel after all.

Power Prints. There are few to rival Peter Pilotto when it comes to creating innovative and clashing geometric prints. For this editorial, he serves up viscose skinny striped patterned pants with a frilled peplum cut-out top. Matching heels are by Nicholas Kirkwood.

70's Glamour. Nico displays retro elegance in one of my favourite looks from the Saint Laurent Spring runway. Channeling the glamour of the 70's, she dons a black silk crepe gown with chiffon tiered ruffle shoulders and a wide leather belt. Edgy leather gloves and a fedora style this sophisticated look.

Metallics. This season, metallics are seeped in vibrant colour as seen on the catwalk of Dior. Nico is striking in a lustrous striped orange, green and lilac silk strapless dress with trailing hemline. The metal-strap heels are the real scene-stealer here.

White Out. Another imperative trend for Spring is all white from head to heel - the perfect lightness to subdue those hotter days. Nico is dressed in a silk shirt and white leather trousers with intricate cut-work, which is from Roberto Cavalli's SS13 collection.

Twisted. It was Christopher Kane who turned coiled twirls of plastic mainstream, using an unusual fabric and braiding it into something wearable. Nico wears a pastel pink plastic silk dress with complex textured twists of fabric. 

Geisha. The Oriental trend is one we've seen across many Spring 2013 runways, with a strong Japanese influence at Prada. This white silk satin look features delicate origami folds and floral emblems. I somehow don't see the shoes becoming a chain store convention.

Embellishment. Bringing a dose of glitziness to Spring, we see ornate embellishments find its way onto trousers and tops & not just evening gowns. Lanvin showcased this exquisite black cotton and silk organza ensemble with structured shoulder and metallic choker. 

Which of these Spring trends are you most looking forward to?

CYAN Spring 2013

One of my favourite parts about fashion blogging is discovering new and innovative designers that I've never heard of before, from countries beyond the style rectangle (New York, London, Paris and Milan). Victoria Panyukova is one such designer. Hailing from Kiev in the Ukraine, this nouveau artist began the progressive fashion brand CYAN in 2012. 



CYAN preaches all that that it architectural in waves of artful shapes for Spring 2013. Inspired by the motion and streaming power of water, Victoria formulates modern pieces of art for the forward-thinking girl, proving that fashion goes further than trend and convention. The tone of her 'Tsumani' themed range is set in sea blue, verdant fields of green, sandy beige and sunset orange. Chiffon, leather, jacquard and silk collide in asymmetrical designs; collaged and cut-out to create individualistic outfits that stand out from the ordinary crowd.



Here is a glance into CYAN's Spring 2013 collection.

Red Carpet - Academy Awards 2013

Red Carpet Fashion

The 85th Annual Academy Awards 2013



Awards Season has culminated down to this point....the Academy Awards, which was star studded with renowned actors and stunning gowns. This is my roundup of the Oscar red carpet. Please click on the images for a closer view. 

Treasure Chest

Catherine Zeta Jones made a dazzling appearance in a gold embellished Zuhair Murad gown. Olivia Munn was stunning in a ruby satin Marchesa gown with embroidered strapless bodice and draped skirt. Jessica Chastain shimmered in a copper toned silk satin Armani Prive gown that was perfectly tailored to fit her. Louise Roe was one of the best dressed TV hosts, in a beautiful nude tulle Monique Lhuillier gown, decked with red leafy embroidery.

Fit for a Fairytale

Jennifer Lawrence drew all attention in a stately strapless ballet pink Dior Couture gown with voluminous skirt. Amy Adams looked dreamy in an ice grey Oscar de la Renta frock with endless tiers of frothy tulle frills. Tween actress Fátima Pcatek picked an ivory cake-topper dress with embroidered bodice, the skirt generously fitted with fairylike frills.

All that Glitters

Halle Berry paid tribute to her former Bond Girl status in an optically illusive metallic striped gown by Versace. Stacey Keibler was perfectly moulded into an exquisitely embellished slate grey gown by Naeem Khan. Nicole Kidman didn't hold back on the sequins, glittering in a black and gold L'ren Scott dress. Naomi Watts experimented with futurism in a spectacular silver sequin creation with cut-out asymmetrical neckline by Armani Prive.

Leading the Trail

Reese Witherspoon dipped into cobalt blue with a strapless gown by Louis Vuitton, featuring a black paneled bodice and train. Charlize Theron was graceful in a pristine white Christian Dior peplum gown with strapless V-neck and flowing train skirt. Zoe Saldana brought a bit of high fashion to the event, wearing a captivating white Alexis Mabille Haute Couture gown with embroidered bustier and layered grey ombre skirt.

Colour on the Carpet 

Kerry Washington wore a beguiling bright coral Miu Miu gown with gold embellished bodice. Alicia Vikander was opulent in an aqua blue fully embellished Elie Saab dress, nipped-in with a gold belt. Jane Fonda looked incredible for her age of 75, radiant in a canary yellow Versace dress with gold beaded waist detail. Jennifer Garner was prepossessing in a purple custom-made Gucci gown with a flurry of frills emanating from the back. Jennifer Hudson looked fantastic in a long-sleeved glimmering midnight blue Roberto Cavalli gown.  

A Pale Tale

Kristen Stewart very surprisingly opted for a more feminine look than usual, wearing a textured cream corset dress by Reem Acra, with tulle accents placed upon the sides. I was underwhelmed by Anne Hathaway's classic choice of a blush pink Prada column gown with halter neck. Amanda Seyfried looked imperial in a lilac halter keyhole cut-out Alexander McQueen gown, adorned with a beaded dragonfly motif.

Go Big or Go Home

Jennifer Aniston set her minimalist style aside and instead opted for a palatial cardinal red Valentino gown with massive tented skirt. Fan Bingbing went bold in both colour and size, wearing a striking fuchsia gown with tulip folded bodice, which is by Marchesa. Sally Field was impressively dressed in an elegant vermillion Valentino gown with sheer chiffon sleeves and a pleated skirt that concluded in tiny tiered ruffles.

Black Track

Giuliana Rancic was architectural in a black folded gown by Rafael Cennamo. Norah Jones was almost unrecognizable with her new hairdo, wearing a linear striped one-shoulded gown by Tadashi Shoji. Salma Hayek looked outstanding in a form-flattering black velvet Alexander McQueen gown with gold ornamented high neck. Sandra Bullock was dressed in a sheer beaded scallop gown by Elie Saab, which really required her hair to be worn up. Les Mis actress Samantha Barks was alluring in a slinky black number with plunge neck by Valentino.

Who was your best dressed at this years Academy Awards?



My favourites are Jessica Chastain, Olivia Munn and Stacey Keibler.
