ebay steal-No7 brush set

Hello lovelies!


Today I'm sharing with you all an amazing ebay steal that I won. I won the winning bid for these gorgeous eyeshadows brushes for only £3.00 and £1.50 p+p. Bargain!

The set contains a lovely wrap holder that is so sleek and compact it could easily fit in your handbag. Inside there are four very soft brushes. I've yet to use them but from the feel of them they look pretty good. A sturdy handle and no shedding so they are very good quality.

 

 

A handy step by step guide to the ultimate smokey eye and how to use the brushes to the best of their use. So altogether there is an eye shadow brush, an angled shader brush, a smudge brush and finally a liner brush.

I'm so pleased with this little gem and one of those ebay steals that you get at a low bid. I love ebay!
care to share any of your ebay steals lately?

Fashion inspiration

My Fashion Inspiration

So today I have decided to dedicate today's post to one of my very many fashion inspirations. Albeit a tad strange, but isn't fashion? Isn't that the joy out of it, to seek inspiration from the most unusual of sources? So, if you are a follower of my twitter (@rebelroseblog) and as you can tell, the background of my blog it is indeed Cruella De Ville! I adore her! Well, lets clear up one thing, I do not skin puppies and I do not have henchmen! I am against animal cruelty, although I do believe that Cruella is a strong independent woman who isn't afraid to exercise her right to boss people around, I do admire her for that. I have a thing for women tyrants, they're somewhat bearable when wearing heels. 

Of course I take more inspiration from the 1996 film adaption of 101 Dalmations with the stunning Glenn Close as Cruella, and seeing how she was head of a Fashion house within the film (our very own Donatella) it was only fitting that she would swan gracefully around in couture ball gown dresses and elaborate head pieces that would put Lady GaGa to shame. 

As these stills from the movie show, she is indeed a fashion icon! Look at the hair, the make up, they way she is poised! She has style, confidence, and the gracefulness (or wickedness) to pull it off. Another admirable thing I love is that nobody would think of her age. Nobody would think that she dresses too old/ too young/ too mainstream or that she even looks old, because she doesn't! She has the traits of knowing who she is and dressing for herself that I can only hope to acquire someday. And I LOVE how Cruella does Chanel! 

Here are some sketches that I just adore of her outfits that can easily be made for the catwalk, everything about her just screams glamour!

Recently, for a friends birthday who held a Disney themed night, I dressed up as Cruella, who better else to dress up as? If only I had some henchmen to do my dirty work for me....

The outfit was really easy to come across, just a figure hugging LBD that everybody basically has in their wardrobe, a fur stole that I took off one of my winter coats, red shoes and gloves, vintage style jewellery, a toy dog  and a hat with 1940's vintage style netting in dalmation print that I got off eBay  So easy to do and barely spent a penny!

Here are some images although the are not the best so I apologize for the quality.

So what do you think? Is she a style icon or just a hate figure in children's fairytales? I'd love to hear what you think :)

My eBay steals :)

Hello lovelies :)
It's been a while I know! Finished the last of my uni exams and went to London all in the same week, and now I've started the new term of uni (I'm 2nd year at QUB studying ancient history and English FYI) and its just a matter of disciplining myself to try and do a post every day, if not every other day.
So I thought that there was no better way to get back into the swing of things by introducing some pieces of my wardbrobe and to show off my personal style, that I can't really describe to be honest.
These beautiful pair of shoes are from river island that I got off eBay, no more than £25 including delivery and are brand new! Im keeping them for the summer, or just drier weather, but I have the perfect white dress that I got in the asos sale (I'll do another post on that after) that im saving these for. I think that they will be the perfect partner on a lovely spring or summers day for a lazy afternoon picnic. They are not too high yet the straps and diamonte detail give it that extra glamour, and the cherry design just give that retro 1950's feel that I love!
Ahhh I cant wait to wear these beauties :)
