-A wardrobe reflection-


Do women dress for men?

This question came to my mind as I was dressing to go to university.
As the title suggests, i was thinking: do women dress for other men, for other women, for themselves or just for the sheer fact that they actually need to be clothed otherwise jail is their new home.

I just need to make it clear that this blog is not written to offend anyone in any way. It is just a 'reflecting' blog on such an issue. I must also add that I am talking about the average as there are some men who I give a huge thumbs up as they were just born to style! (something which I like to associate with my made up adjective -rareism...)

Ok so let's start from the beginning... why did this question come to my mind at around 7.30 on a Monday morning? Well as I was dressing and deciding and questioning my choice in clothes, I decided to wear my favorite scarf ever! 

In my previous blog : http://whatsinmycamera.blogspot.com/2012/03/shot-of-espresso.html I have some pictures of it. 
This is seriously my fav scarf ever.... iv owned it for around 3yrs now and it's still making my top list from my scarf collection.

A funny story about this scarf, which actually triggered me to write this post is this: Around a year ago (yes why do I remember such trivial stuff yet when it comes to studying it's the opposite) a friend of mine (a guy) approached me and commented on my scarf ' My god why are you wearing such a scarf...it's so huge and big ' and I just blinked at him and told him 'well it actually happens to be my favorite scarf - so sod off'  (I didn't actually tell him to sod off :P ) 
Now this scarf had actually gotten a lot of positive comments by a female audience which got me thinking...and eventually led this blog to be written. 

Ok so were where we ....yes..so I basically classify people into 4 :

1) People who enjoy dressing for themselves and have a particular sense of style. (I'm guessing most of my audience would be like this as you're here reading about fashion :D) 

2) Girls who just dress up for other men. (tight dresses,boobs exploding out of tank tops- you get the picture) 

3) People who just don't give a damn what they're wearing.

4) People who wear appropriate clothes in the weekend but don't give a damn what they wear the rest of the week.

So basically that's it...Comment down below for your opinion on such an issue :) 
Thanks for viewing!

Anatomical madness!

Hi guys,

I'm so excited...anatomical is finally in Malta!! So for those who do not know what 'anatomical' even is...it's basically a beauty company that sells products that range from face creams, lip care and even something for those of you who won't say no to a bit of fake tanning!

So I ordered my stuff yesterday and today,yes today (was so impressed with the service) I received a small paper bag with my goodies in it. They even put in a free product in.
I come from a background of design, so naturally one of the first things that I take note of is the design of the package. I have to say their design is exquisite! Simple bold colors and some creative words and voila a product which sells good!

So enough citt chatter and the product review actually starts here :  


 This is all I'v got.
Most of the products I didn't have the chance to try them out yet.
In the next picture you'l see :

1) The 'eye cream, you scream we all scream for eye cream' which is a regenerating eye cream (if that wasn't obvious enough). I just tried it out for you guys(also for my curiosity) and it's a very soothing and leaves your eye lids feeling very soft. The cream is whitish which turns immediately to transparent when used.

2) The 'never lose your cherry' lip balm. Ahhh I love this lip balm! Apart from it saving your lips from the horrible Maltese sun ( ie it has SPF 15) it leaves your lips feeling nice and soft whilst still giving a little bit of colour to them. (reddish/cherry tint color) It is also a tad shiny. This baby is definitely going to be an everyday essential before I go out.

3) The 'snog me senseless' breath freshener. This was the freebie that Anatomicals gave me. I used it and it tastes like mint and leaves you with a nice breath :)


I also bought 2 masks. I'm usually not the mask type person but I wanted to give them a go!

4) 'look you've got chocolate all over your face' - anti-stress face mask. I was so excited as this is a chocolate mask and I'm a guilty chocoholic!

5) ' farewell the scarlet pimplehell' - deep cleansing mud mask.


Last 2 products on my list : 

6) 'oi you throbhead'- headache relief balm. I've read some reviews about this and I just had to try it! I get headaches quite often, mostly due to stress and to be honest I'm not the type of person who takes a painkiller as soon as I get the headache. I usually wait and if the headache worsens than I give up and usually take a Panadol (1 panadol from the blue category-not red) 

7) '8 out of sex kittens don't prefer whiskers'- shave cream. Obviously this isn't for me :) This is from their men section named 'manatomicals'. This thing smells really good ! - just like a guy should smell like


If you want to try out these products than I suggest you take a look at their facebook page and website: https://www.facebook.com/anatomicalsmalta

That's all for today :) I hoped you enjoyed the review and please leave a comment down below if you tried/ have any questions about these products!

Take care :)
