An 'All-Things-Beautiful'… Blog
Hi babes!
After Leonardo Dicaprio, Priyanka Chopra was the #2 most googled person after the Oscars! No surprise there as she looked so stunning and is such a star in both Hollywood and Bollywood. Her success in the west is truly inspiring! I loved her simple look with the mauve matte lip and just had to recreate it, let me know what you think!
Hello my loves! Gosh, I have been MIA for awhile huh?? This year got off to a really rough start and it took me awhile to normalize and get back into a routine. Hopefully everything will be peachy from here on out! wooosah!!
We spent the holidays and New Year in London & Paris as you already know! If you missed my London Travel Diary be sure to check it out, its my absolute favorite set of travel photos yet! Because of my self-imposed high standards after that post, it made me drag my feet with getting my Paris photos done. They’re just not up to par and proves why I need to stop editing things out of order.. of course quality gets better as you progress haha.
Paris is such a special city for us, we got engaged back in 2012 at the Pont des Arts and we’ve been wanting to visit the city of love again ever since! We had just a couple days of our trip to spend in Paris so we took it pretty easy. We dined with friends and did the touristy thing visiting all the landmarks. Let’s get on with the photos, you know there are a ton!
TGIF! I’m so excited today, I’ve partnered up with Ulta to bring you this spring makeup look celebrating the launch of Buxom Cosmetics at Ulta stores & ulta.com! This look is super fresh-face and daytime appropriate, I hope you love it!
Happy Monday!
It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with Rihanna. What a way to begin the week than her releasing two music videos for her new single Work. I love love love both videos so I just had to create two inspired looks in one tutorial. Let me know which one you love more!
My loves!!!! Thank you all so much for the incredible response to my latest video!! I’m sorry it took me a few days to get the product list up but the weekend got a bit busy. ICYMI today is Ekushey February (literally February 21st) – known around the world as International Mother Language Day, declared by UNESCO in 1999, honoring Bangladesh’s Language Movement as well as ethno-linguistic rights for all peoples around the world. I’ll end up writing a novel so I’ll leave it just at that so you can listen to my monologue in my video before the tutorial starts 🙂 I’ll be completely honest, I was a nervous wreck about speaking up about anything remotely political or racial because things are taken out of context so easily on the internet.. but to receive such a warm and open response was amazing and I’m so happy that I took the plunge.
To honor the day and my heritage I decided to create a traditional Bengali look, not to be confused with a look for Ekushey as it isn’t a happy day to remember. Traditionally in Bangladesh you’ll see everyone dressed in black & white on this day. I teamed up with my friend Sharifa Easmin and we both created different looks. Mine originally was going to look a lot like hers but she killed it – I went back to the drawing board and ended up getting super inspired by Aishwarya Rai in the movie Devdas. While she isn’t Bengali, her character (Paro) is and the styling, colors, and textiles in the movie are to die for.
