Khaki Talk...

It's been a while since I've done a blog post, so I thought why not?! As you all know I mostly wear black, white and grey. These are the only colours you'll find in my wardrobe apart from the odd navy blue, but recently I've fallen in love with the colour Khaki. I think it is such a beautiful colour which goes well with everything without going OTT.

Now if at this point you're thinking, "khaki = military", you're wrong!! It no longer has to be associated with all things military, as lately I've been seeing a variety of elegant dresses, flowy shirts, palazzo pants aswell as tailored trousers all coming in khaki!

Khaki is definitely the colour for SS15, so get your hands on a stylish piece. Meanwhile, heres how I styled mine..

I styled my Khaki jacket with Culottes, which is another favourite trend of mine for SS15, (you'll know this if you follow me on instagram - mariyam_malik). I wanted to go for a casual daytime outfit, so I paired the trench and culottes with flat pointed loafers and a cross body bag. However, if styled with a leather midi skirt and a crop top, this jacket can instantly add glam for an evening look. So if you're looking for a light jacket at a reasonable price, this is the perfect piece which is bang on trend!

Base: Garnier Skin Naturals BB Cream, Medium, Combination to Oily Skin

Under the eyes: NC30 from the MAC Pro Conceal and Correct Pallette/Medium

Powder: Ben Nye Banana Powder, used mainly under the eyes and only a bit on the rest of the face to keep the Dewy look.

Eyes: Nehru eyeshadow from MAC, topped with MAC Reflects Glitter in Antique gold. For the corner of my eyes and the brow bone I used Nylon also by MAC. Eyeliner used is Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Black. For the inside of my eyes I used KIKO Deep black Kajol.

Lashes: Eylure London No. 126

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills, Dip Brow, Medium Brown

Cheeks: MAC Gingerly topped with MAC soft and gentle and for the extra glow I added a tiny amount of Nylon eyeshadow.

Lips: Creamsheen Pearl Zen by MAC 

This was only a look I tested out and posted on instagram which became popular, so as my first post I wanted to share a look that many of you wanted to know what products were used. The upcoming makeup looks and tutorials will all show a range of brands used to complete similar and different looks, so keep an eye-out. However I hope you girls got the answers from this look you waited for and remember any other questions or looks you want to see, do not hesitate to contact us or drop a comment below. 

Gladiator Sandal Lovin'

Okay, so here is my first blog post! I know many of you expected it to be an outfit post but most of them will be on my Instagram as I want to combine everything on here such as my favourite trends, where I shop from aswell as upcoming trends for the next season. However, I will post my popular looks on here with all the details of the items for you.

So lets start of by talking about knee high gladiator sandals. Oh my, I'm currently obsessed with knee high sandals. As the weather gets warmer, it's much harder to accessorize or add layers, so adding gladiator sandals to even the simplest of outfits is quickest way to go from casual to quirky. More importantly, the best thing about them is that they're casual, comfortable yet so chic, and that combination is very hard to achieve.  I  can say this because my feet suffer 90% of the time because of my footwear choices, ouch! So even with a simple dress, skirt, culottes or longline shorts (which is another current favourite of mine), adding gladiator sandals just brings the outfit together.

Here are some of my favourites that come without a heavy price tag!
