Oui, Miss Dior Chérie.

I just saw this clip for the first time in too long. Oh, I used to watch this over and over and over again! In less than a minute my love affair with Paris has been reignited and I want to be more than ever this beautiful girl, running around beautiful Paris, eating sweets and smelling like a flower bed. Nothing like a little French fantasy before bedtime mid-week!

Blue crush.

    

Earrings: Colette 

Nail polish: Sportsgirl

Mascara: Australis

This post started with me typically not checking the colour of mascara that I was purchasing - just trusting that because it was in a black tube that the colour would be black. Just another blonde moment on my behalf. I realised it was blue when I got to the end of my make-up routine before going out for the night. My first thought of blue mascara was a 90s nightmare. Something I would have worn with blue glitter eye-shadow to a school disco in grade seven. Not as a 21 year old heading out with her girlfriends for the night. It has been sitting in my dresser draw ever since. The other day I found it in there and thought for the fun of it I would put it on and see how bad it actually was... Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised! Not as tacky as I thought! It's like it gave my eyes hint of freshness and you could hardly notice, except for the tips, that it was in fact blue mascara. To embrace the blue mascara, and put my spin on this 'mermaid-style' trend floating around spring, I have paired it with these chunky earrings  my favourite sea blue nail polish from Sportsgirl and simple make-up including a nude lip (not to over do it). 

Is there anything you have been pleasantly surprised from lately?
