Spartoo: Fiorelli Handbags

Hi All!!!


So this weeks 'Spartoo Spotlight' is all about Fiorelli handbags and I think it's safe to say we all know about these. I love that Fiorelli is stocked on Spartoo and I had to make a quick post about it for you all and with the current offer Spartoo has to give - 20% off selected Fiorelli bags - this post is a must.

What I admire about this brand is the wide selction of bags of all sizes and styles. Although we are more likely to see classic, simple and chic styles with Fiorelli, there is something about them that intrigues me. I like that there is wide selection to choose from even if some of the items maybe slightly 'plain' for my own personal taste. We're all different, but we can all appreciate a well made handbag when we see one.

The bags I have chosen to show you are a handful of my fav picks that Spartoo sell.....

Kiss Noir



Vanilla



Cedar Violet


Simone Clutch

I also picked these four bags as they are spot on with the current trends that are around at the moment. Although you have to pay a bit more for this brand, it is so worth it!! I have a friend who is obsessed with purchasing Fiorelli bags whenever she gets the chance. I'm sure she will like the sound of 20% off when I mention it to her ;o)

My favourite bag out the selection has the be the Cedar Violet .... I think i'm in love!

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Nose Job

Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.

Hello Mario!

I have a roman nose with the classic bump on the bridge. I've been searching on how to minimize this problem, but can only find tips on how to minimize a wide or long nose. I understand that dark recedes and light makes things more pronounced. I got so frustrated with my lack of contouring skills that I decided to cancel out my whole nose and just shade the whole thing. Boy was that a mistake - haha. For some reason my nose was even more pronounced! Can you offer a some kind of makeup suggestion for this beak of mine? Thank you so much, and I love your work!

xoxo,
Susan

Hi Susan,

I’m no stranger to the beak, especially being of Albanian decent! My mother and father both actually have "the roman nose," as do so many men and women in eastern Europe. Unfortunately, makeup will not make such a big difference in decreasing the bump on the bridge. You will see best results in a photo once contoured properly rather than in person. Here's how to give your self a mini nose job...

You were right about dark shades receding and lighter shades emphasizing and bringing things out. Keep that in mind and with a small shadow brush, apply your lighter shade below and above the bump in the center. Make sure the bump is matte and with the darker, matte shade, very lightly sweep over it. There should be no harsh lines visible. Again, using the darker shade, you're now going to apply it to the tip of the nose that hangs downward so when you're looking straight at yourself in the mirror it should appear as if your nose ends where the dark shadow on the tip begins. Contouring takes a lot of practice so I advise that you try this out many times before you go out. Good luck!

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!

xo,
Mario

Spartoo: Xti Boots Review

Hi All!!


As stated before you guys will see me post alot about the website Spartoo over the next few months. I am already a big fan of the site and if you ever want to view the wicked items they sell then you can always either click on the links I provide in these posts or click on the link down the right hand side of my blog which will always remain.

Now I have been given the delightful opportunity to review some items from the generous people at Spartoo too. So given the chance my first item to review had to be a pair of shoes and so I ordered these babies....

Xti Emelyn Grey Boots
£53
(Also comes in black and navy)

I have recently been eyeing up a few cowboy/biker style boots but hadn't found the right pair so when I saw these I couldn't resist and decided to order them. Xti is a brand I had never heard of before so again Spartoo has given me a wide range of brands to choose from.

The distressed style teamed with the studs and straps give the original style of cowboy boot we all know an extra 'umph' and without these, I don't think they would look so good. The height of the heel is perfect too, doesn't look too high so I can totter about in them all day long and not feel like I am towering over everyone.


When they arrived I was very pleased, they looked just as they did on the site...

I wore them to work and got a few compliments on them which was nice. They were so comfy and I said to my friends 'these boots are definately getting a good review'. Here is a lil pic of what I wore with them yesterday....

Casual outfit for work

Leggings: Accessorize
