Isn't Adele adorable. I wish I had her big lips! To copy her look I applied 'Jessica lashes' by Glam Eyes Manicare. I picked those up for $12 at Priceline. Having Trichotillomania my lashes are thin and sparse. I looooved this long full look. I think I could get used to applying these more often. Mr Inspired paid me a little more attention whilst I was dressed as Adele.
Adele is well groomed, not a brow hair out of place. She has an amazing complexion and gorgeous dramatic eyes. Adele's wears her hair big. Even when it's 'messy', it looks stylishly designed. Adele's accessories are minimal. She leans towards feminine and elegant earrings.
Adele wears fitted, tailored clothes. That's the best way to make your clothes look flattering. Make sure they fit your shape. Her garments tend to have similar neck lines. Feminine without flashing her cleavage. Refreshing for a singer.
What I love most about Adele, is her body confidence. She's curvy and she's okay with that. She's talented, stylish and stunning! What's not to love!
If you follow me on facebook (you do don't you?) you would have read I went op shopping this week. This shirt was purchased for Aussie Curves. It cost a whole $7. You don't need a huge wardrobe budget and expensive clothes to join Aussie Curves. You just have to be a size 14 or larger and living in Australia or New Zealand. Just sayin.
In case it's not obvious, I used a hair extension to give my hair extra length and body. My hair was not long enough for the bun without it. I bought it in 2009 for my wedding. It cost a small fortune at $200, but it is well made. I can take it to the hairdressers to be coloured, and can heat style it.
I wonder if I didn't show you a comparison, or name the celebrity, if you would've picked it? This weeks challenge was the hardest so far, but fabulous fun. I should fuss over my look more often!

Love it!! You look ultra glamorous and elegant. Adele does have flawless hair and makeup dosent she. I M über impresse with your do! It looks fab!! Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm loving the do too! That was the easy bit. Add the hair extension and hey presto it looked styled. I didn't fuss with a hair drier or hot irons. I really am a lazy dresser at the best of times LOL
DeleteOhh how fab do you look!! We love Adele in my house :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. I was playing a lot of Adele over the weekend =)
DeleteYES! You look so glamorous and *bows down* hell yes to the OPSHOP win! I love shopping at Opshops. You should see me tear through them like a hurricane. I found this week a challenge too. Pulled my outfit and photos together last evening!
ReplyDeleteI was stuck without the Op shop score! I knew the neckline I wanted and was searching for that. Yay to finding it at $7! I found one op shop I loved, I'll be back often. I do love me a bargain.
DeleteYou look stunning! The lashes are fab, the colours are gorgeous on you and the Adele Side Bun is very flattering! Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda. I am loving the bun. I think that will be repeated again. I bought the biggest bun sock I could find. Turns out my natural hair is too short for it. That's motivation to grow my hair longer.
DeleteYou look absolutely GORGEOUS!! Love this look on you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Omega. I wish I wasn't such a lazy dresser, I'd wear eye make up like this every day! Once the photos were downloaded I didn't want to take it off. I strutted around the house for a few more hours wearing this.
DeleteYou are so beautiful! Oh, I am coveting your side bun. I'll have to break out the hair donuts again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. The side bun is all kinds of wow. I'm loving it too. Thanks.
DeleteBeautiful! Those lashes look really natural too. I wouldn;t have picked that you were wearing any.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that top was from an Op Shop makes me itch to go check some out. My sister, Mum and I have decided to make an op shop trek during the school holidays. I am on the hunt for a denim jacket :D
Funny to read you thought the lashes were natural. My natural lashes were tiny when I held these up to my eye lids! They look fantastic in the photos though. Good luck finding your demin jacket. I'm sure you'll find heaps. Finding the right size is the tricky bit.
DeleteThis is so fabulous! My heart skipped when I saw your very first image holding up a pic of Adele - my ultimate girl crush!
ReplyDeleteSUCH a good job! x
Thanks Tabitha, I struggled for the longest time how to do Adele's look. Finally it clicked, just copy her makeup and hair style. She is stunning, I adore her look.
DeleteAmazing hair and makeup in these shots. And what a fantastic celebrity to copy.........Love Adele.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm still surprised the photos turned out so great. It can be tricky knowing how much makeup is too much. Apparently not an issue when it comes to photos and lighting. The more the better.
DeleteYou should wer your hair like that EVERY DAY. Loved how you held up the ipad, very clever and the $7 top... bargain and bang on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dani. These styles have motivated me to grow my hair longer. I love the bun on others but find it odd on myself. I'm determined to wear my hair like that more often so I get used to it. $7 I now right, bargain!
DeleteI just wanted to say how beautiful your eyes are! You do look very elegant - I am so glad buns are 'back' . Love the colour of the pink jumper too - so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The pink jumper is a tad too small for me at the moment. I adore the colour and feel so I've hang onto it. I've fallen for buns, they're great. Especially messy buns, stunning.
DeleteBeautifully done. You look gorgeous and have knocked those photos out of the park! LOVE the iPad photo in your own. You're way too good. GREAT JOB.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa. I had a few photos on my ipad for when I was doing my makeup. Made sense to pick it up in front of the camera. I actually struggled with not smiling in the photos. It's hard to do that look. My mouth naturally looks like it's frowning, which is bad in photos.
DeleteLooking beautiful lovely! Such an Adelle fan.. she is just.. amazeballs.. total girl crush #2 on that lady! x
ReplyDeleteThank you Ashely. Adele is amazing! I love her style and voice.
DeleteYOU LOOK STUNNING.
ReplyDeleteMy jaw dropped when I saw these pictures! <3
Thanks Caitlin. I did the same when I saw your photos! I was drooling over them earlier.
DeleteOMG You are stunning, look a like or not your look is gorgeous! Love and agree with all you say, a fabulous post ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Cherie, glad you enjoyed the post. Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated.
DeleteJeanie love your style and your sense of colour. Your makeup is beautiful in this post as well. Talk about rocking the transformation! I look forward to following more posts as a member of Aussie Curves
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love wearing colour. I started adding colour to my look a few years ago. Colour & accessories make an outfit! The transformation was fun, I loved borrowing Adele's style.
DeleteI would have been able to pick it! I knew straight away from the preview picture. You did such a great job, your make up looks amazing. Guh, isn't Adele gorgeous, I just love her!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie, it was cool to try a different make up style. I can't believe those are my eyes! Adele is super gorgeous.
DeleteAmazing job. Your eyes are stunning- what a beautiful colour you have there. You totally nailed the hair and make-up, and well done with the op shop bargain. You look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bek. My eyes are blue, sometimes green, depending on what I'm wearing. I think the layers of eye liner and shadow have helped them pop! Oh I wish I had time (& the skill) to pull off those eyes every day LOL.
DeleteYou look so stunning. No I wouldn't have guessed it if you didn't show a picture of Adele, only because I had no idea till now what she looks like. You nailed this look. And it really suits you.
ReplyDeleteLuv Jac @Common Chaos Chronicle
Thanks Jac. I agree, I think Adele's style suits me better than my own LOL. Maybe I should try to incorporate some of her style more often.
DeleteLove it! You look so glam! Very Adele xxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miss Evie. I enjoyed glamming it up for this challenge!
DeleteYou look fab!! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks BlondeInk =D
