The Making Of...

I was invited to Warner Brother's Studio Tours a while back; to The Making of Harry Potter to be precise. Now before you turn away - one definitely does not need to be a die-hard fan to appreciate this place. It takes a lot get me excited in most things, yet I was genuinely blown away. I felt like I was walking through a museum of cinematography art more than anything else and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there so much. The time frame suggested as the duration of the tour was 3 hours; which sounds like a long time but to my surprise - you would genuinely want to spend 3 hours soaking up all the details the place has to offer. 

I have a brand new appreciation for cinematography and the film making industry.

There is so much we take for granted when we watch a movie. Every single detail and every single object in every shot was not only a decision made, but backed by a team of artists to physically realise it. Remember all the paintings in the stairwells of the movies? Each and every one of these oil paintings were painted by genuine artists, then cleverly aged to its purpose. See? Blown away. Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. I'm not going to bore you with any more text as I feel it really deserves a real life experience than me trying to tell you through cyberspace writing! So honestly - book your tickets and I super highly recommend getting the Digital Guide with it to make the most of your experience!

Daniel Radcliffe's hands are smaller than mine...?!

NOT promoting drink driving whatsoever!

P.S. This model Hogwarts (R) that they actually filmed with is absolutely breathtaking!

Harry & Ron's bedroom from the start! See the cases under the two beds on the right? They were so little then!

I have refrained myself from posting all my pictures as I don't wish to spoil your experience! You have my word though that this is totally worth a day out whoever you choose to go with!

Heat Wave Baby!

So we've got two weeks of spring!! I'm absolutely loving it as, well, who wouldn't? 

I'm absolutely obsessed with this clutch. It comes in both black and white - this is obviously the white, while the black carries black spike studs. They are super gorgeous! They are handmade by the London brand Vivian Ying - where again (see last post) you have an exclusive half price coupon to shop at! Simply type in YNMS50 at checkout and get investing on your designer leather clutch!!

P.S. My nails are Gwen Stefani for OPI's Satin Black; which on its own is basically just matte black... what do you guys think? I personally would probably rather a matte topcoat...

Raining at Tiffany's

Since the first moment I set eyes on the shinniest silver bracelet on my friend's wrist as a teenager, Tiffany & Co. still has a luring grip of my melting heart. It was so powerful that it seems too impossible to hide as I don't think I will ever forget my first ever Tiffany Experience. It was ecstasy! My mom randomly suggested to check out a Tiffany store one weekend and I was through the roof! The closest I had ever been at this point to Tiffany's pieces (besides my friend's of course) was through a computer screen. So at the end of the eye shimmering experience, my mom simply said, "we'll take this one then." I think I was screeching...? God I really hope I'm wrong. I guess I must have been that obvious with my fascination that my mom just couldn't handle it any longer!

Not that I'm complaining at all. From that first bracelet, my Tiffany & Co. collection have been steadily growing.  Each of my Tiffany & Co. jewellery tells a story or marks a milestone, and this is my absolute most favourite part of my Tiffany's collection. The memory behind each piece. So when Tiffany asked me to do a feature post for them - it was clearly of no hesitation.

It's a shame it was drizzling but I actually quite like how it added a very British touch to it! I know I'm no Audrey but after trying on a zillion outfit, the simplest LBD really is the true essence of a Tiffany Girl. Now we know!

Dinner Date

Sorry I indulged a bit in the hair-fixing shots, they rest were just not as nice for a change! The idea of this printed dress from H&M Divided is quite clever, panelling the sides for a dramatic slimming effect. It has a zip down down the chest in the front which looked really good until I put it on and found it confusing instead. When completely unzipped it is completely below the base of the bra line - not ok. At halfway, looks neither here or there. So I just zipped it all the way but optically it wasn't the most flattering on the chest shape. Anyway, it was very comfortable and I have already seen it on the streets worn by other people! Are you one of them? Where do you leave the zip at?

Pencil Skirts Made Easy

I was sent a variety of faux-leather skirts to style (always 2 looks per item) and wear trial from a range of high street brands. So bear with me whilst I work through them all over the next few weeks! I am not a skirt person myself so this project should be interesting!

For NYE I chose to wear my favorite from the batch; this H&M number that looked very scary at first because of its almost-fetish-PVC front panel, but is actually pretty cute with its matte stretchy back panel - with hand pockets! I'm a sucker for pockets!

To avoid looking like a secretary, style it with a bright slouchy top or a neat lush jumper (will demonstrate next). As with fit, the only thing I would say is that it doesn't have a split at the hem like most pencil skirts; makes going up and down stairs a little troublesome. The skirt is otherwise incredibly comfortable and very easy to wear!
