sakura

When I first received these gorgeous sakura (cherry blossoms in Japanese) printed leggings from the always generous Shop Market HQ, I had soo many different ideas about how to wear them! I had a myriad of images swirling around in my mind and in the end, I couldn't stick to one look but extracted bits and pieces from each style. Here is the process I went through to achieve my final look: One idea was the retro, pin-up look of the 40s and 50s, with big doll-like eyes encased by thick heavy black eyeliner with winged tips, and sultry red lips. As I've probably mentioned before on my blog my makeup skills are pretty shocking, so I only incorporated black winged eyeliner...
