"To Our Daughter" Why The World Is Baby Crazy

Image
If you haven't already seen the Kylie Jenner " T o our daughter " baby video on youtube than you clearly have not lived. If you have already seen it and want to see it again, here it is in all of it's baby glory. On a side note...can her baby shower and girl gang be any more perfect?

Gucci Gang, Gucci Gang, Gucci Gang... Can You Spot a Fake Though?

There's a luxury designer item which us females all NEED. Ok, ok, ok we admit it, we don't need them as such, we just WANT them badly. The Gucci flat has been seen everywhere from PTA Mum's to the girl at the Coles Deli standing next to us with her red basket slung over her Country Road loose knit as she taps her designer foot in waiting. A post shared by Gucci (@gucci) on May 9, 2017 at 5:46am PDT These coveted iconic slides have our hearts besting with some serious fashion lust whilst the logical side of our brain is trying to rationalise how we can afford to eat for the month and still, treat ourselves?! It seems the Gucci slide is quite the addictive loafer, with die hard Gucci fans often sporting a pair in every colour and at around $700 a pair, it's quite the expensive fetish. But let's not forget the limit editions, those babies will set you back a cool $1200, but hey Carrie Bradshaw once said " Sometimes i would buy Vogue instea...

Women Worldwide March in Unity To Fight for Their Rights

Image
On Sunday the 21st January, women around the world united in solidarity to march for our rights, our voice and our independence. We marched for our right to be heard, to be respected but above all else, to show that women stick together in a powerful unity. Social media was ablaze with messages of empowerment, messages of hope and insightful wonderment as what this world could and will hold when women are equally accepted on a societal scale.Some of the most powerful women walked alongside their sisters during the marches in their respected cities worldwide. In this show of force, women united in strength to add a voice to the issue of womens rights and equality. Below are some of our favourite women, chosen by the women here at Eyes of Solotica , who defined their solidarity and stance with their powerful and poignant messages: Jesinta Franklin "I am not defined by my 'side boob' or 'pert derrière' that is often used to describe pictures of me online,"...

Why YOU Should Wear Black Too - Let's Talk About Women's Rights

You may be wondering why the red carpet at the Golden Globes was actually a sea of black? Well the reasoning behind why the red carpet was a sea of black was in support of women who stand up against the sexual misconduct in Hollywood. In recent months, there has been a lot of controversy around the depictions in the media and the accusations of many women towards the male treatment they were accustomed to whilst working in the film and media industry. Whilst there have been some heavy hitting male names in the industry who have been accused such as Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and most recently James Franco, there is little that has been said to what the ramifications will be to these men and the resolutions passed down to the women who they have mistreated. The Golden Globes this year took the fight Global with the #whywewearblack campaign. A public unity and declaration for willing participants to make the choice to stand up and speak out against the sexual misconduct...

Lady Gaga - The New and Improved Woman on The Rise

Image
If you haven't watched the Lady Gaga documentary " Five Foot Two" on Netflix yet, do yourselves a solid favour and sit down this Christmas Holidays and watch it. Uninhibitedly raw and undeniably honest, this documentary is a vast diversion from the Gaga that you think you might know. A rare inside into the eclectic and often darkened mind of the starlet, you will find yourself utterly transfixed by her engaging innocence and undoubtably by her perseverance to just get shit done. Five Foot Two is a coming of age documentary for her, a new chapter that closes the previous to her life and career. Often unattained and completely sheltered, Gaga has never been this honest nor this willing to publicise her life, her breakup and her demons. This is a brutally raw, endearingly honest and captivating documentary that will truly change your opinion on her, for the better. As not a strong fan of Gaga, a few girls in the Eyes of Solotica office walked away completely in awe...

To Bitcoin or Not To Bitcoin - That Is In Fact The Million Dollar Question

Image
If you haven't heard about Bitcoin you have most definitely been living under a rock for the past three months. In fact, Bitcoin has been around for so many years now, it seems that those of us not in the know, have certainly been missing out. Whilst the girls in the Eyes of Solotica office are still trying to figure out just how crypto currency works, it seems the rest of the world has caught on and some of the biggest names in the money business such as Lamborghini and Microsoft accept Bitcoin as a form of formidable payment. You mean, you can use virtual money to buy a new whip? I thought that was the purpose of my credit card? Whilst i cannot begin to fathom the statistics behind the latest way to pay around the world what i do know is, Eyes of Solotic a are about to introduce the Bitcoin as a form of accepted payment and we want to know what you think of this? There are so many questions around Bitcoin. Who uses it, how do you use it, what do you buy with it, can yo...

The Luxury Kids of Instagram or The Loathsome Kids of Instagram?

There's one Instagram account that is on everyones lips at the minute but it's not the type of hype they should be happy about but then again, these kids are the type who love the hype. The Luxury Kids has divided the office of Eyes of Solotica . It's like a polaroid gallery of reality tv. You find yourself almost an hour deep in scrolling through their obnoxiously lavish lifestyles on a regular basis and just when you thought you have seen it all, you see it all again. This is the type of Instaram account that will either make you cringe with how arrogantly they publicise their families fortunes or, it will make you want to orphan yourself and start life again under the guidance of their parents. For you see, nothing is off limits to these kids. They have it all but we imagine what they don't have is the type of friends who actually have your back. After an initial stalk, it became apparemt that this type of wealth attracts like-minded money and just like birds ...

Eye Make Up Tips To Make You look Younger

We all want to chase the fountain of youth and remain looking our best age whatever that age may be (21 i'm guessing), so here are 3 eye make-up tricks to make you look younger. 1.Curl those Lashes Big, bright, visible eyes are another sign of youth and vitality and are so easy to achieve with this quick morning ritual. Not only do they finish off your look but they make your eyes appear more radiant, so why not show them off? Get the curler as close to the lash line as possible and curl for 15 seconds. Be careful not to pinch the delicate surrounding skin. 2 . White Eyeliner A makeup trick of the trade for decades now, white eyeliner instantly opens and brightens the eyes. A white khol eyeliner will lengthen the appearance of the eye, making them appear wider. This instantly opens the appearance of the eye and makes the face seem brighter. So ditch those dark eyeliners and rewind the years by trying a white liner. 3. Thicken Those Eyebrows Gone are the days of thin, over-sha...

Louis Vuitton Cruise 2018 Show; One Word; ICONIC

Let's just take a fashion minute to appreciate the breathtaking triumph that was, the  Louis Vuitton Cruise 2018 Show .

Pei-designed Miho Museum , the   Louis  Vuitton Cruise 2018 Show  was an extraordinary display of the culmination of architecture transcending into fashion. With bold displays of a strong oriental influence and a directional pursuit into the structure of fashion, the Cruise Show under the fashion houses creative director,  Nicolas   Ghesquière  is nothing short of iconic.

Jeffree Star vs The People vs Unicorns; The Jury Is Still Out.

You will all know an love beauty influencer  Jeffree Star  however, it would seem that Mr Star has declared war on one of our beauty favourites,  Too Faced Cosmetics. It would appear that beauty influencer  Jeffree Star  has waged a war on  too faced   cosmetics  over... you guessed it, Unicorns. Yes you heard right, Unicorns or more specifically,  Too Faced Unicorn  Tears Lipstick is the at the forefront of this beauty rift. Jeffree  went on a Snapchat rant where he concluded; "I'm just saying y'all, I'm so disappointed as a fan of makeup and I'm just done supporting people who are gonna treat people like that,"  Jeffree   continued. "I don't care who did unicorn what, when, where. I have a unicorn blood lipstick, should I start suing? Girl, spare me, it's makeup." It would seem that all is not fair in love and lipstick..

When Fashion and Music Collide; MTV Awards Fashion Fix.

Image
It's that time of year again...  When we get to celebrate all things controversial, when wearing as little clothing as possible and arriving on the red carpet with one of the latest rappers, makes you top of the "Hot List". It's that urban fairytale time again when MTV celebrates all things cultural, fashionable and musically inclined. The MTV Awards came and went and in the aftermath, left our tastebuds tantalised for a fashion fix. After the Met Gala we thought it would be hard to top the celebrity looks that left us pinning for a larger credit card limit however, MTV delivered celebrity style on a plate and so we thought it was only fair to serve you our favourite looks... @caradelevingne wearing Saint Laurent Taraji. P. Henson looking incredible in Rose Gold @YaraShahidi   in Gucci A key fashion trend which appeared throughout the red carpet for the MTV Awards was, metallics. Followed closely by sequins, mini dresses and a tonne of...
