Juicy Couture Spring 2012

This collection totally changed the way I view this brand! These pieces are sophisticated, while staying fun and young, the true roots of Juicy Couture. I especially like the navy skirt from the first picture, pleated dress from the second, orange polo dress (something I have been on the hunt forever), and the bright rimmed cardis.

What do you think? Would you wear any of these pieces or Juicy in general?

 

Tweed Jacket

My closet has grown substantially over the past 2 years, only thing I am still keeping an eye out for is a tweed jacket. I saw one last boxing day but didn't want to get it right away, of course when I went back for it, it was gone.

waiting for the snow

I like strong silhouettes for winter, like these ones from Jak&Jill blog.

oddly, we haven't had one big snow this year yet..  I always complain about snowing in Canada, but now it's not here , I find myself anticipating.

Rare CHANEL

I love The Coveteur, each picture tells a story. Their recent collage of shots make me drool........

Flakie Nails

Finally got a new camera, and I can start putting up more original material. I always wonder who's behind the lens in those fashion blogs, do they just follow the bloggers around? and how can I get one for myself?

Anywho, nail of the day posts are so much easier. Here's one look I enjoy year round, nude base colour with tiny flakes. I'm using "Polished" from Revlon as base, and "Nubar2010" from Nubar as topcoat. I'm so happy with how the photo of bottle turned out.

this is picture taken with the old camera. 

Essie is also coming up with their version of the flakie topcoat called "Shine of the Times", from what I've read, it is a much denser packed bottle. I took these pictures from the internet, how gorgeous is this blue!

Burgundy - a lazy & extremely picture-heavy post

This is an extremely late post about burgundy, but I have accumulated such a big inspirational folder just for one colour ,i thought i'd post it anyway.

Burgundy really is the new black this season. Why?

It goes with everything, and has the magical ability to add a pop of colour to neutrals while toning down the rest.

It goes with white, black, beige, grey, navy, green, mustard, jean blue, silver, lace, velvet, fur, leather, shearling, leopard, plaid, polka dots, and even gold shimmer.
