+ Cardigans. I’ve been living in my brown wooly one this week!
+ Alice In Wonderland in 3D. One of the best cinema experiences I’ve ever had. The different dresses Alice wore were so cute and to die for!
+ Dinners out with friends. Lots of food round a big table. What can be better?
+ Looking up fairytale-esque photos for inspiration in photography class. I particularly loved some of the shots from photographer Tim Walker
+ Its my birthday on Sunday, and I’m having a murder mystery party! Parties should always have a theme.
+ Taking cupcakes to class. I needed opinions on the revision of the cream cheese frosting recipe I’m working on, so I baked up a batch and got my peers to test it out!
+ Ice cream toppings. Sprinkles and colored candy pieces… yum! And that’s not forgetting the Hershey Syrup and the Marshmallow Fluff (or is the fluff on ice cream thing just me being weird?!?)
So it might be clear already to our devoted Dujour girls, that we love us some Rachel Roy. She is the epitome of grace, chic, and humble elegance. With the launch of her collaborative lower priced diffusion line for Macy’s, Rachel-Rachel Roy, we have fallen even more in love. So just what could she possibly do to send us even farther head over heels? A fantastical video of course! Entitled Miroir Mirror, the video showcases the Pandora’s Box of dress up. Remember the days when all we had were the dreamy visions of Erin Fetherston circulating YouTube? Well, here is something to add to your playlist dolls! Thank us later.
Okay, what can I say? As mentioned in some of our tweets, we are born again fashion addicts. But not just any kind of addict- we are addicted to accessories! Big and bold statement necklaces, killer designer shoes, and BAGS. Boy oh boy do girls love their bags. So unfortunately for our darling readers, you will have to succomb to this new obsession by taking witness to our new bag of the week feature.
Up first is a new discovery, Lauren Merkin. Vintage meets its modern match with one of Merkin’s latest additions to the collection- Tess. A new age beauty with an old soul. Mixed to perfection with a soft subtleness and a touch of extravagance. Double the chain handle and pair with pearls with a little black dress and channel Audrey or drop the chain long and wear with jeans, a classic tee and fabulous pumps for the ideal SJP.
Who says artists aren’t fashionable? One of our fave new discoveries, Kate of Little Doodles, posted about one of Dujour’s coveted trends. Bows of course! I mean throw in some sequins, pink and cupcakes, and we got ourselves a real party. And what’s better, she featured our latest designer discovery love, Elizabeth Lau from London!
+ Writing in glitter pens. Guys think its weird but it makes me happy!
+Putting sequins in letters before I post them. I don’t do glitter though – thanks to all the cleaning up people don’t seem to appreciate it as much as harmless sequins and confetti!
+ Its finally starting to warm up this week! (Or at least it is over here in England!)
+ Egg and cress sandwiches. For some strange reason I’ve had so many this week!
+ Looking forward to my day trip to Paris next week. Aside from art galleries that means one all important thing. Raspberry macaroons.
+ I’ve been wearing my Lime Crime eyeshadows this week to try and brighten things up again. I still can’t get over how glittery and rich the pigments, and their bright colors!
+ I love the way people use sequins to embellish their eye make-up! Staying on the topic of Lime Crime, I love this sequin scattered tutorial from their intern Anna!
+ Mini Daffodils in a plant pot on the windowsill. You can still bring spring and sunlight into an attic dorm room!
