Celeb of the week

This weeks celeb of the week is an English actress who has had numerous talk on her cool beauty and fashion sense, but also playing the determined wife of Stephen Hawking in the theory of everything. Have you guessed it yet??? Its Felicity Jones.

The 31 year old actress has first been buzzed about since 2011, playing helpless lovers in like crazy and a dangerous love affair in the invisible woman.She's known for her very girly, but sophisticated style, very inspired by the 60's and style icon like Audrey Hepburn. She usually sticks with a classic black and white look, but sometimes brings out her prints and a splash of colour.

At the 2011 Gotham Independent Film Awards Jones went for a very cute and simple pale sea green dress by Proenza Schouler. The dress was paired with some nude heels and overall the dress was safe and cute, but a slit straight down the middle of her dress showing a little stripy print gives the dress interest and an unexpected twist. She goes for her usual hair style, thick bangs on loose mid-length waves and also her signature smoky eye. This look sure showed off Jones more playful and sweet side.

Jones everyday look has not much changed over the years sticking with her black and white look and very simple and classic style for day and night. Here Jones pairs a long-sleeved white blouse with a black leather skater skirt, some black stocking and a pair of shiny black ankle strap heels and the complete the look adds a simple shiny black baguette bag. Jones has this ease with her outfits they are super style icon worthy, but very simple and achievable style. That why we all love her so much, she models for young woman that been a fashionista doesn't mean going out and wearing crazy runway, you can be a fashion icon, but still play it safe.

My Top 3 Favourite Outfits of Felicity Jones.

Please leave a comment below on who should be our December style icon. xoxo - Monica

Arriving in Tokyo, Disneyland, winnie the Pooh obsession

Today me and my family arrived at the hot hot hot city of Tokyo. I was pumped to go on all the amazing and super detailed attractions that are only available in the beautiful world of Disney.

Disneyland had well and truly begun their awesome HALLOWEEN decoration! Obviously the colour team is black and orange and even though Orange is the worst colour in the world, Disney pulls it off and from the entrance through to the end, it's super festive.

I've been to Disneyland couple times in my life, but I don't know my way around too well. This is where my expert in all things Disney cousin comes in, she is a Disney fanatic. She knows every single Disney song and when ever we have movie night at our house she still request The little mermaid. The great thing about Disneyland is that they have these free fast pass tickets, which anyone can get once every hour and you can jump the queue. This is like the best thing to happen to theme parks, because who wants to be waiting HOURS under the hot sun for a ride that lasts for couple of minutes? Not me.

The first thing you see when you walk in to Disneyland are all the adorable gift shop lined through the streets. Also because its was September when I went to Disneyland they already have their Halloween gift set and Halloween themed clothing for the Disney characters. My favourite was the Winnie the pooh outfit, because I love Pooh so much, he was a huge part of my Disney childhood and he still is now and I just love everything about him. well anyway the outfit was Pooh in a huge pumpkin outfit, its the cutest thing I ever seen, its a bear in a pumpkin!

The first place we went to in Disneyland was Tomorrowland, this was where all the futuristic rides were and the first thing we went on was yes the Star Wars ride. Well big surprise I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars the movies I never got into and I was just not a huge fan of robots and just seemed a bit geeky (don't hate me if your a fan). Well that all turned around when we went on the ride, it was one of those rides where we sit in a small space ship with a huge movie screen at the front you watch it through the 3D glasses. The ride moves rapidly and the screen makes it look like you're speeding away in space at some crazy speed. It was so cool and I loved it and I always felt like Disneyland rides were all for show and it wasn't like scary and fun, but I was dead wrong. It was a awesome ride to start on my day at Disneyland.

Then we walked around a bit and looked at the beautiful castle in the heart of Disneyland. Its so pretty and I couldn't help but look through the windows searching for Cinderella and Prince Charming. I also love the Disney songs that play around and the song is different depending on where you are, so if your near the Snow white ride the songs that play are from the Snow white movies and it changes when you move to the Winnie the pooh ride. Its very nostalgic and makes me look back on my childhood and really transports you into a kid again. 

One of the best things and without it wouldn't be a full Disneyland experience if you haven't tried the Disney inspired food. From the legendary popcorn to the Mickey mouse shaped churros you need to try it all and multiple times throughout the day.The popcorn is one of the things that I looked forward to the most when we go to Disneyland because they have some awesome, but unusual flavours like curry and soy sauce and salt. Soy sauce and salt was by far the most popular and the line was so long I thought they were all lining up for a ride. Also I discovered my new favourite drink in the whole entire planet, the pink lemonade with rainbow tapioca. It's so good I had it multiple times during the day, its so refreshing and the tapioca has a bit of a sherbet taste which gives the drink a little tang and interest. 

We had some time out, just sat and relaxed with our awesome treats and watched the Disney show. The music and the crowd going wide and waiting to see what character is going to come down next just gives me such excitement and thrill. I went insane when I saw Pooh, he just so adorable and he just stands out from all the other Disney characters, well in my mind.

One of the coolest things was when I got to visit the Snow White's well, it was so cool, because it as identical to the one in the movie. I just a had a small fail at pretending to be Snow and trying to mirror her beautiful high pitched voice. I'm glad I had my Snow white moment.

This what I've been waiting for this whole day to ride the Winnie the pooh ride. It was like a dream walking in, the whole place is filled with the Winnie the pooh book, like a life size version of it. It was all in English so I was reading it while we were waiting, the ride itself is adorable you in a huge jar of Honey!!!! I loved it so much the gift shop was adorable and my wonderful mum got me a Winnie the pooh doll when you talk or sing or clap to it, it nods its cute head! I'm so easily amused OK.

 We ended the night by watching 2 night shows, one was the Dream Lights Parade and the other was the Once upon a dream show. They were both so pretty, but I think I like the once upon a dream show better. Its a projector showing small clips from popular Disney movies and instead of putting it on a wall or screen it is shown on the Cinderella castle. Seriously it's so pretty and its truly magical and is kind of a huge display of what Disney is and I loved it so so much. 

I loved the whole day so much even though we seriously got off a 10 hour flight and went to Disneyland I wasn't tired, it only hit me how tired I was when I sat down in the the car and immediately fell asleep.

Dream or reality job

If you don't know me which I'm guessing is all of you, than you probably don't know that I'm currently completing Yr 9 at my high school. I know this is the year to make all those important decision that shape the future of my career and I know that must sound so stressful and nerve wrecking, but to me its another step to landing my dream job as a beauty editor in a magazine. Its always been a dream of mine and I don't think I realised that I wanted it to be my career until very recently.

think most people who are or want to be in a creative industry are dreamers and I'm exactly that. People often tell me that I'm over confident and I don't know if I was born that way or through magazines, but my guess is that it's a little bit of both. I think I have these dream of doing or becoming or having things that I believe I'll eventually do, be and have, like being a boss in a major magazine company, with an office in a skyscraper with a huge clear wall over looking New York City or meeting Marc Jacobs or have those machines that calculate which of my outfits match (you know the one in the movie Clueless).

I sometimes feel like I have this small, hard shell of overconfidence in myself and with a crazy optimistic personality. But I have doubts too and I feel scared that all this crazy future I see for myself is just a big far away dream. I feel time is always going too fast or too slow and never in time with me. I think the worst advise anyone has ever given me and I promise someone has told you this too is, 'don't stress go with the flow and everything will be fine.' That is bullshark, this world we live in is competitive, it's filled with talented people just like you and me, so saying to just relax and get everything handed to you is NEVER going to happen. We have to work for what we want and push ourselves to our very limit and this isn't going to guarantee me spot in the front row of Chanel fashion show or anything in the magazine industry except for maybe getting coffee runs for all the lucky staff, but we have to try. And that's why I think I'm so excited about making decision it's because, I finally get to start on my journey to turning my dream job into a reality.

Makeup is my drug

I can not remember the exact time I started wearing makeup, but I do remember when I started to wear a full face of makeup daily. It started from my first year in high school, I wasn`t great at it and I sure weren`t going for the natural look to say the least, but at least I was tolerable enough that my mum let me out the front door.

I did have some run ins with teachers telling me off on my excessive use of make up, I`m in yr9 now and they no longer bug me. There`s to theories to this, either they stopped trying to tell me off because it was obvious I was never going to stop wearing make up or if I actually improved? I`m hoping for my second theory, I really enjoy wearing make up and there`s nothing more that angers me then someone asking, "who are you trying to impress." Can`t actual people wear make up just for the sake of liking to wear makeup, it just confuses me how people say that like I wear it because there`s a special someone out there that I`m trying to impress. I mean I don`t see people go up to people who read as hobby and say, "who are you trying to impress."

It just annoys me, some people might think I`m over analysing this, but seriously I get asked so much it drives me insane. I love make up because freakishly that`s what gets me up in the morning, to try new trends or try on a new mascara. Just like a hobbie, makeup is one of mine and I don`t think it masks your natural beauty, but enhances it.

please leave me you thought in the comments below.

I want you back Bio-Oil

I'm in love with it once again. Oh how much me and Bio depend on each other, is a crazy roller coaster. I started using Bio-Oil when I was really young and I wanted to splash my face with anything that wasn't just water.

On the packaging it has all these scientific claims that Bio-Oil does everything for your skin. which I semi-believed until I tried it myself and really saw how amazing it was.

My relationship status with Bio-Oil is a love and hate one. I used to wear it every night and in the morning I was so oily, because it didn't sink in overnight. I hated it because of that and also I already had really oily skin, so I didn't need to add to that.

That was my opinion on it before I actually knew how to use it and that's why I love it again. So before bed you apply your Bio-Oil like a serum and unlike serums they don't sink into your skin. So when it's morning you clean your face and wash off your Bio-Oil and that's how to reveal your smother brightening baby skin. Since I learnt how to use it properly I love it, it seriously gives you a radiant glow and not at all oily, it's great for any skin type and colour and if your patient with this product it'll give you miracle results trust me.

I've also love using this when I have irritations around my eye, which happens a lot and really soothes all the redness and puffiness around my eyes like nothing else. I just feel like it's a great and smart product and the creators really thought about everything. You can get it at your nearest chemist, supermarkets, drugstore really anywhere. The price is cray-cray for something that works great and it doesn't empty your wallet. I know so much serums that come in such a tiny tube and double or triple the price of Bio-Oil.

If your looking for a great product for irritation all just to have baby skin, that is so easy to get your hands on and super cheap this is your miracle baby.

Tell me in the comments your favourite product this month and please tell me your thoughts on Bio-Oil do you love it or hate it.

Till next week-M xoxo
