20

I am 20 tomorrow. I do not know how that has happened so fast, but it has.

Therefore, here I let loose of every thought that I am currently not ready to face.

1. I am no longer a teenager. I AM AN ADULT. whaaaaa?
2. The lack of (-)teen makes me scared in itself.
3. I have little to no justification of being a moany little brat anymore.
4. I will soon be 21! 365 days fly fast, you know.
5. I need to start thinking about life/work and I have no bloody clue.
6. I am still single.
7. How much longer will I be single? (Jokes really, I do not care)
8. I am entering the age of 20 with braces
9. How does one even act like an adult?
10. I need my Mother more than ever before. Ooops

I could make more sh*t up, but then I would be boring the world.

In other words, I think it is right to just shut my gob and get ready for the ride. The next 365 days are mine.

MUA bits | Ofaneverydaygirl

MUA is pretty epic. I found these little gems and instantly grabbed them. I have been looking for the perfect cheek colour, which allows to somewhat make me look a little 'more' healthy and alive. The roasted orange/ apricot colour in 'Dolly' can act both as a blush, as well as, a contour, to some extent. I am still in need of a proper contour which actually sculpts and defines my face, allowing for some dimension on my  face. If there are any recommendations, do spill the beans below.

I also found a matte lipstick for a pound. A pound! The shade is called 'peachy keen', even though it is more of a pink. However, it does have a hint of orange/ apricot tone to it.  I would like to point out that it is quite drying. If you have dry lips like me; moisturise beforehand as it does separate. Also, as the application can be a bit forceful,  rather than applying in streaks (in a normal fashion)- instead dab. It makes it look much more natural and the likeliness of it separating is reduced.

If you are around a superdrug, do have a look at MUA. They are damn cheap and are not too bad. The cream blush does tend to fade, therefore I really need to invest in a powder and maybe even a primer, in hope that it will make it last longer. Or else I could start actually carrying make-up around and reapply when needed. Am I the only girl who does not carry make-up around? I may actually be the only one.

H&M white blazer

Monki shirt

ZARA jeans

Chanel ballet flats

H&M bangles

24 carat necklace/ present

I suck at pictures, I really do. Why can I not look like Kristina Bazan in my pictures? Her boyfriend is one reason for the stunning pictures; I am lacking in that area too. *Sobs*

Regardless, she really inspired me in this outfit. Her looks are always simple, sleek and some how wondrously high fashion at the same time. However, I do need to point out how extremely uncomfortable I felt in this. The feeling of constriction had me run upstairs and quickly throw on my PJs. Now I wonder how all the other fashion bloggers feel in some outfits...I may never know.


 p.s. I look ridiculously short in these pictures. I am pretty sure the fold up of the jeans just escalated that shortness. Oh wells

The birthday list #2 | Ofaneverydaygirl

Charlotte Olympia Deborah boots. Belstaff leather jacket. Herve Leger bandage dress. Adam Lippes coat. Helmut Lang skirt (Cheaper here). Missguided Clara heels. Nike trainers. Stella Mccartney coat. Eleven Paris t-shirt. Theory A-line skirt. J Brand leather jeans.

So, I finally complied my second birthday wishlist. In accordance to that- my birthday is in 16 days. 16 days until I am 20! I am so not ready to be an adult. In no way do I act like an adult. There is severe maturing up to do. However, I want to keep my crazy side and still dance down the road every single bloody time.

However, very unlike my apparent childishness, my clothing wish list is very likening to that of a more older 'young' lady; if that makes any sense. It seems that everyone else my age runs around in leggings, crop tops, and let's not forget those horrendous jelly shoes. How? Why? I really do not know how they are able to exist on your feet past the age of 10.

And of course there is a shedload of black. I would love to have every single one of these items. Pretty please? These are Staple pieces, which I still do not own. I do have a black skirt, but it makes me look like a nun and my current leather pants give me no space to breathe. I think I have viable reasons for these beauties in my life, no? Plus I need to enter my 20's in style. Duh

Are you stylish enough? | Ofaneverydaygirl vs You

And let's allow for role reversal. Rather its me on the left.

'Am I stylish or even decent looking against her?'
'I look like crap.'

I could greatly refer to this form of action with confidence. And yes, I will put my hands up and say that. However, I think that regardless of confidence, if you see a super-lady; let's say who is just flawless in every way (With a very big budget and every form of beauty appointment in her filofax, or even her PA), then I guess we instantly feel a tad insecure.

I am sure many of you will have come across that 'gif' of that 'you vs 'me', where they essentially compare two women who happen to be in the same place, but obviously one looks flawless against the other, who is instead crouched looking cumbersome in the corner. Of course that is entirely out of order, as one may be having a moment, which are allowed to have. Sorry Beyonce, but you set the bar too high, with the 'we woke up like this' idea.

I ask this myself everyday when I hit the streets of London Town.  However, I have two reasons for this.

Firstly, being a girl, is one thing. It is not just what you wear. You are what you eat could be argued to pose some importance. Your skin, make-up, HAIR, it all adds up to create the perfect picture. The 'Hair' is emboldened, only because I have the mane of Hagrid. Especially in the lovely land of England, and now reaching A/W my hair erupts into a flurry of bush.

On the other hand, it is way easier for the opposite sex to looks absolutely dashing. They need about 3 pairs of clothing items, a universal pair of shoes, hopefully matching socks and a hella load of cologne for us all to be falling to their feet. And how could I forget the facial hair! Lord, you gentlemen just have to let mother nature take over and its all well. I walked past a rather dashing gentlemen who looked like he walked out of the J.Crew catalogue. Like how?

It is a matter of fact, that the lads have it easier. But with girls, it could be arguably the same, but at the same time- not so much. Girls have a masse of things to choose from in terms of clothing items, make-up looks, tan, fake boobs, fake butts, fake eyelashes; this could go on forever. Also the hair, it all adds up.

This has accounted to become a rant, more than anything else. However, it would be great to see how many others feel the same. Also, what are you coping mechanisms in this instance? If I am looking rather horrendous and happen to walk past that cute guy I happen to see everyday; which actually does happen, my hands and everything in my possession makes way to crawl up to my face and somehow allow to hide myself.

However, it is my fault to leave the house with absolutely no make-up, unwashed hair and wearing my sweats.

Birthday Smalls | Ofaneverydaygirl

It is my birthday next month and I have compiled an edit of the perfect things one could dream of to getting on their birthday.

Because I am oh so special, or I wish I was- I have decided to make two separate wish lists. 'The Smalls' and then of course the clothes and shoes.

Hermes Collier de Chien. Rolex two-tone watch. Chanel boy bag. Maison Michel wide brim hat. Rayban Aviators. Charlotte Simone popsicle. Cornicello pendant. Jaws pendant. Karl scarf. Prada card holder. NARS multiple. Kevyn Aucoin sculpting power. Tarte contour brush.


Now this wish list would set you back a humungous amount, I know. However, if anything this edit has compressed or highlighted the essentials for any girl. Of course you need a watch. How else can I tell the time? And no, the Iphone is highly unreliable with its battery life. On that note, a bag is fundamental. A small stylish bag, for everyday use should of course be mine. The Chanel is a lovely touch. (That's what she said.)

Moreover, the clouds have been letting themselves free for the last few days, a wide brimmed hat is exactly what one needs. The added 'M', which has to be my Initial just has to be mine. It was meant for me, no? I could be justifying every little thing on here, but I do not want to bore you.

It was rather fun complying this all. This edit is not just a throw up of expensive mess, but really individually can be claimed as essentials. Might have to get one at a time. That would make me 32 by the time I get it all.

Hmmm, now how do I rob a bank?

What would be on your birthday wishlist? 

London b*tch, I mean beach | Ofaneverydaygirl

My sister and I meandered through the gloomy streets of London, however with the hope to brighten up and be enlightened with some little wonders trapped in this questionable 'miserable' city. And to be fair we did find some treasures.

We first set foot in Somerset House, which in itself is a beauty. We decided to visit the Rudeboy exhibition and it was rather great. The quote above essentially defines a rudeboy, however as much as the outfit/ and styling pictured was supposed to represent a Rudeboy, it did not quite meet my expected persona. Regardless, the photography was great, as well as, the style of clothing as well. Fashion bloggers better watch out, there was some serious coolness going on.

We then found ourselves in Southbank and I felt rather rebellious and cool and so,  took the steps down into what could be argued as London's somewhat of a beach. It almost felt like I was elsewhere. If you are ever are close by and need a breather, especially after a long day- make sure to escape it all like the man above and have a fag and a thought or too, or maybe no thoughts. Not promoting smoking at all, its pretty bad.

Of course there has to be an outfit. I think I might be killed for blogging the same style/ clothing items. It is bad, but I cannot help it. It is the basics which allure me. Of course a London 'beach' means you wear the thickest of jumpers, with a blazer to top it off. And forget the thought of flip flops.
