Dreams Money Can Buy

Hello there!

I hope everyone has had a great christmas with family or friends! I have been neglecting the blog for a while; but my life has been pretty hectic at the moment. With university work during end November, christmas and extra hours at work, I am finding little time to myself.  This is just a quick update blog post, showing off my photography work. I got a new camera this year from Mum and Dad, Finepix S3300 (for anyone who's wondering), and I have just been getting to grips with using it. I wanted to include a few snaps into my post to show off ;)

I am super excited with my camera. Having only my phone to take pictures recently has been a massive strain on my blog, as all the images were sourced from the internet, which always made me feel quite unoriginal in my posts. Now, with a camera, I will be able to post more personal stuff, like outfit of the days, etc. I will be taking inspiration for FashionGlam everywhere and anywhere in the new year. Unfortunately, I was involved in a car accident a few days ago, which has resulted in my car being written off. I will be buying a new one, but with no insurance payout, money will be tight. My new years resolution will be to be more careful with money, which means no more indulgent and un-necessary shopping!

Anyway,  enough waffling... check out the pictures and let me know your New Years resolutions.




I got a nail kit for christmas, which I am very much enjoying!








Got sent a watch by Mac today, thank you X

MAC Viva Glam 2012

The picture for MAC Viva Glam 2012 campaign has been released and I couldn't resist putting it up on Fashion Glam. The two faces, Nicky Minaj (who is not new to the brand) and Ricky Martin (I could barely remember who he was) are an unconventional couple, but the pair do take a good photograph together. Colourful, vibrant and edgy, the picture was taken by David LaChapelle; the two of them look gorgeous, however the focus isn't lost with the oversized lipstick being a massive feature.

Makeup Inspiration

I have been missing from the blogging world for quite a while and my posts have been few and far between. Recently I have started a new job and have had loads of university projects to work on. Furthermore, I do not actually have a good, working camera at the moment, so I finding it quite hard to find inspiration.

Here are some pictures that have been inspiring me recently. Celebrity and fashion makeup.




Paris Hilton's shoot for V magazine. I was especially impressed with pixiwoo's makeup tutorial of this, which lead me to take a look at the shoot which was done back in July. Its a drastic turn from Paris' usual   sparkly pink makeup look, the seductive, sultry look suits her well. Taking inspiration from the sixties, this is a real glam rock chick look.


The lashes at the Louis Vuitton S/S12 show were immense. Piling on the falsies gave the models a stand out look, in comparison to the sugar sweet collection. Makeup looks were fresh and on trend for spring time.



Emma Watson wearing a gold leaf smokey eye and the golden eye looks at the Fendi S/S 12 shows. Textures are key in makeup and gold leaf is perfect to add a touch of glamour, or create a gorgeous and luxurious look. Done perfectly at Fendi by makeup artist Peter Philips.



MAC's 'Black Knight' lipstick being sold exclusively on the website tomorrow for Black Friday.

Versace and H&M collab.

I am not a particular fan of designer/high street hybrid collections, and to be honest from the get go, I was convinced this particular one would be a bad idea. I wasn't wrong. Aside from the accessories, which I love, the pieces themselves were poor.

Considering that I love Versace, load/bold pieces and in some cases a little bit of tack; this collection has just taken it to the extreme. If you are reading this, you have probably already seen this collection, so I am not going to just copy and paste the whole thing from google. I have picked out my favourite pieces, and my least favourite too.
Pictures sourced from style.com






Vicky Pollard springs to mind. More market stall chic than fashion forward. 

These style of scarves have been around in H&M for a while. The juxtaposition of colours are nice for this accessory, as its not overwhelming. 



Lovely heavy, chunky rope chain-esque handle. A bit tacky but I would rock this, no doubt.

This jacket works well, as the print is minimised to the sleeves, combined with the velvet body, this piece looks quite luxurious.  


Love this fur gilet looking stole. The buckle detail makes it different from the other kinds you usually find in H&M.
