It's becoming apparent that food has been a long running theme through many of my posts. Perfume cakes, photoshoots with giant ice cream cones, now this.

Things I like: food, yummy food, miniatures, miniature food, sunglasses, crafts, gluing stuff onto other stuff, and of course I like when things I like, collaborate. That's why these super cool sunglasses, each with tiny food cabochons, are right up my alley.

Fruit Punch sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $50
These tasty shades include mini strawberries, oranges, dragonfruit, watermelon, apples, pears,
*I think* white dragon fruit, and I honestly think those are just pink pears? 

Pizza sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $50
These slices seem to have dipping sauce all over them

Hot Dog sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $44
Complete with relish! These might be my favourite pair

Pretzel sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $40
Just kidding, I want these the most (with pretzel earrings to match)

Hoagie sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $40
What's a hoagie? These are basically mini sandwiches - burgers or hot dogs? I also spy mini fried eggs as toppings!

Doughnut sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $50
Now onto desserts! Colourful, frosted, sprinkled doughnuts

Cake sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $88
Cake all around, including heart shaped cakes with roses and some with tiny fruits. Some doughnuts too!

Cake sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $46
A simpler pair of cake shades, with some doughnuts too

For your viewing pleasure!
From the vaults, (as they say) here is one of my favourite Summer photoshoots of all time; from the one and only Tim Walker.

This shoot is from the Summer of 2012, for Mulberry. The location for this shoot was Brighton Pier on the South Coast of England.



I just love the oversized props. Who got to keep those after the shoot? I would definitely fill my home with giant ice cream cones and candy.

I never know when I come around, what I'm gonna find, don't let them make up your mind, don't you know, girl you'll be a woman soon

Urban Decay is one of my favourite cosmetic brands. The Naked palletes are fabulous; they also have a wide selection of bright colours. Urban Decay fans are loyal, they know that the product is quality and long-lasting as well as unique and fun.

And now the most exciting thing about UD is...

Announced via their Instagram, they are releasing a Pulp Fiction collection, this Autumn.



Since it is one of my favourite movies, I am very excited. The collection is basically an ode to Missus Mia Wallace, who is without a doubt one of the coolest chicks to appear on the big screen, like, ever. So,


and buy something from the collection, duh

It will include a red lipstick, a red lipstick liner, and red nail polish - all named "Mrs. Mia Wallace", an eyeshadow palette with four shades: "Righteous" - a pale peach colour, "Tyranny" - a brown colour, "Vengeance" - an even darker brown colour, and "Furious/Anger" - which is actually a split of white and black. And finally, to top it all off, there is a Heavy Metal liquid liner in a sparkly silver by the name of "Gunmetal".



It's going to be out July 16th! How will I restrain myself from buying every single item? I really don't know. I'm a collector at heart.

The prices will range from $19-$34 CAD, very affordable in my opinion.

I'm so glad Urban Decay decided to pay homage to Pulp Fiction; my favourite Tarantino movie and one of the greatest movies of all time. It is proof that cult classics will live on forever and I personally think it's very cool that Uma Thurman's character from '94 is still inspiring fashion and beauty.

After publishing my last post, I decided to check out the website for Chez Bogato (who once upon a time did the perfume cakes) out of curiosity. Chez Bogato is a French patisserie that specializes in cakes. They also sell lots of other cute "accessories" for desserts and parties. Here are some images from their site:

"Arc-en-ciel" cake with clouds
"Le Sweetburger" cake with mint leaf
"BOOM" cake with mascarpone
"Spiderman" cake
"Rose Barbapapa" cake with raspberry cream
"Bonbons d'amour" cake
"Jardins suspendus" cake with pistachio crumble and raspberry mousse


"Cerise"
"Bonbon alphabet"
"Sucette I Love You"
"5 roudoudous"
"Couverts Lego"
"Bol la princesse"
"Théière en papier bleu et rose"
