Party Nails!

I was in the mood for nails that were fun & bright, yet sophisticated, for my weekend and this is what I came up with! A very easy gradient nail look using OPI's "All A-Bordeaux the Sled" and Deborah Lippman "Birthday Party". The deepness of the dark red wine colour balances out the multi-coloured glitter extravaganza that is Birthday Party!

I Love MGMT.

 I love MGMT's most recent album "Congratulations". It's the perfect music to listen to while lounging around the house.

Lanvin for H&M

11 days left until the much anticipated collection by fashion label Lanvin hits H&M stores worldwide!

The collection features fun pieces such as fur vests, a zebra print trench coat, and full tulle petticoat party dresses in a multifaceted colour palette of deep purples, reds, oranges, greys, and pinks. Aside from the garments, shoes, sunglasses and jewelery, I am also pleased that the collaboration will include four lipsticks! The shades fit in with the fabric colour-story, and range from a dark purple-berry, classic red, bright baby pink, to nude. I'm particularly excited to see how the dark purple, almost black plum shade wears, as this dark lip look fits in so well with the fall make-up trends. Since the lipsticks will retail at $9.95 USD each, they also provide an affordable way for everyone to grab a little piece of the collection for themselves!

Trending: Blackberry Manicure

 
The Blackberry Manicure -  A manicure where thumbs are painted a different, usually flashy colour, so that they stand out when messaging on your phone.

 

My version is China Glaze's "For Audrey" & OPI's "Bring on the Bling" from the new Burlesque collection on the thumb. 

 

... and yes I realize I have an iPhone, "Blackberry Manicure" is just an expression!

Downtown Nights

Whenever fall comes around I always find myself reaching for all the black in my closet. There's something about the chill of the air that makes me want to layer black leggings with black over-sized sweaters and black scarfs! I love black, who doesn't right? I especially love playing with textures and fabrics in an all black outfit. For instance, I think black velvet can be so chic and expensive looking when paired with other fabrics. I also love experimenting with sequins and leather and silk - all black. Lately i've found myself wearing lots of little black dresses on nights out on the town. Here is shown a one shoulder version of the LBD I wore with studded black chain purse, black gladiator heels, & big diamond costume jewelery. And of course the look would not be complete without black nails.

 P.S. yes it is pouring rain in this photo. The long Vancouver rainy season has started!
