Product Review – Sweetness & Light Soya Candles

July 28, 2017 By in Fashion News, Lifestyle, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , 31 Comments

Once you step into my home, you would spot my love for candles. I have candles in every room. There is something I love about candles. Apart from the amazing fragrance that lingers long after the candles have been put out, there is just this thing about them that relaxes me; puts me in a good mood. So you can imagine how excited I was to try out these Sweetness & Light Soya Candles.

The candles here are Sweetness & Light Coconut Cream and Summer Breeze. I have been burning these for a couple of days now, and I love them. I am really impressed with the quality and the packaging of the candles. They look amazing, not like the regular candles we see around. They stand out even more with the unique personalisation. I have never had a candle with my name on it. Have you had one before?

I love them both but I prefer the Coconut Cream Candle. It reminds me of the beach holiday we had at Dubai some weeks ago. It takes me right back to the hot sunny days at the beach. Sweet memories.

Mica Argañaraz Covers British Vogue Magazine August 2017

July 27, 2017 By in Magazine Covers Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 13 Comments

Mica Argañaraz is the cover girl for British Vogue Magazine August 2017. She is a rising star, which explains why I have never heard of her. The cover was photographed by Craig McDean – and styled by Vogue‘s senior contributing fashion editor, Kate Phelan.

This is Mica Argañaraz’s first British Vogue cover, and I like it! It is simple but yet has the Vogue factor; which is quality and elegance. This magazine cover ticks all the right boxes.

I did a bit of research on the cover girl, and discovered she is Argentinian model, one of the hottest models around today. She has modelled for Christopher Kane, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Chanel, Christian Dior, Prada and even Mango.

I can why Mica Argañaraz is so popular at the moment. Her distinct look, with the shaggy fringe and strong jawline have made her stand out for the right reasons. She is definitely one model to watch.

Here are some excerpts from Mica Argañaraz’s interview with British Vogue –

 

Mica Argañaraz on her Modelling Career

“I really take it as a job,” she told us. “It makes me feel proud how far I got, I tried to be honest and true to myself.”

“I’ve had a lot of experiences and I think they’ve made me grow up,” she added. “Also, this job has given me a lot, which allows me to give back and to help people. It feels good when you can turn it into a cycle.”

 

Good she loves her job. Doing a job you love is one of the best things you could do for yourself.

 

 

Mica Argañaraz on Breaking into Modelling

“You make your own career as you build your own reality,” she told us. “Personally I’m not competitive, and I get along with a lot of my colleagues. I do get happy when my friends and people I like are doing well, and I feel it happens the same the other way around. It can be a lonely lifestyle otherwise when you travel so much.”

 

I like to see others around me doing well too! I can’t understand envy.

 

I am yet to read this issue but will looking out for it. Have you read it? What do you think of the cover girl?

 

 

OOTD: A Summer Dress for July

July 26, 2017 By in Fashion, Outfit Post Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 46 Comments

This is the first outfit post of July, and it is all about the summer dress. I have been meaning to feature a July fashion outfit post in weeks but I have not had the time. I took these photos weeks ago, before our summer holiday, and then forgot all about them. Good I still have some days left in July to post them.

One thing I love about the summer season, apart from the holiday bit, is the summer fashion. I love the fact that I can rock my sandals and show off my legs. I live in dresses in the summer months. They are super stylish and very comfortable. When dealing with the heat wave, the last thing I need on is a pair of jeans, or anything else that would make me even more hot and sweaty. Light, airy summer dresses, like the black floral summer dress I have on, works for me.

Almost everything I have is an Oldie but Goldie, and has been featured on the blog before. The new bits are my handbag and my Fitbit Charge 2 bracelet. If you have been reading Fashion and Style Police for a bit now, you would know all about my love for handbags. And if you didn’t know, you now know! I love handbags a lot; I am always looking to add more to my collection, and this beauty right here is the newest addition. Another confession, I am also a huge fan of Michael Kors handbags. My fan girl bag collection is growing, and I love every one of them.

This gorgeous bag is the Michael Kors Scarlett Large Tote. It is a soft pink shade, which I think is so pretty, but it also comes in black.

I love the design and look of this bag. The gold-tone exterior hardware and hanging charm is just so beautiful. I am in love!

The Fitbit Charge 2 bracelet is also new. I got this some weeks ago, after my old Fitbit Flex broke. I prefer the look of this Charge 2, and I am hoping this lasts a lot longer than the Fitbit Flex.
