MARNI for H+M!!!

5 days ago H&M announced their Spring 2012 designer collaboration will be with the house of MARNI!!!!! I just found out today at work and was ecstatic. I have always loved MARNI for as long as I can remember. What I love about the design house is their passion for unique patterns and daring cuts. I tend to dress conservatively with unique pieces, and MARNI is the design house I covet conservative-yet-eccentric clothes and accessories from. I can't wait until March 2012...

WEDDING UPDATE: WEDDING COLOURS

In addition to a great time of year and length post engagement, we owe the colour choice of sapphire blue to the Birk Blue engagement ring I feel in love with for choosing September 2012 as the month we would get married. It wasn't to long after finding my engagement ring I found the perfect bridesmaid dresses that help set the sophisticated-regal tone/theme we're going for, and was influenced by our Parisian vacation.



I found my bridesmaid dress at Dessy.com where I bought my bridesmaid dress for my friend Norma's wedding.

MY KILLER BEAUTY COMBO

Stranger Tides by OPI, (Essie top coat) and my Annabelle Big Show Lipgloss :)

MY NEW OPI NAIL POLISHES

I recently bought two new OPI nail polishes from Nail Polish Canada; Stranger Tides and Midnight in Moscow. Similar colours to others I have but in a 'time to toss' state. I'm so happy about my new colours, I am having a hard time deciding which colour to paint first..


Lipgloss doesn't typically dictate what nail colour I'm going to wear but I love the idea of wearing/rocking Stranger Tides nail colour with my new custom (orange) Annabelle lipgloss together.

PIECES OF PARIS FROM LONDON!

This last Sunday my fiance returned from a business trip in London. I knew he was going for quite sometime and after discovering how awesome the Duty-Free shop (PLAZA...) at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 3, I requested a bottle of my favourite fragrance, HOT Couture by Givenchy. Not only did my fiance grab a 100ml bottle of eau du parfum :D he also brought home my very own Longchamp vinyl pouch-handbag!!!!! I almost died. Not only was I shocked he bought me a handbag I have "eyed" (especially in the Longchamp SOHO, NYC store) for years, he bought exactly the right size and colour I was aspiring to own one day. All of these presents in addition to his safe and anxiously awaited return home, it was an incredible Sunday...

VERSACE FOR H+M: THE EVENT

The Versace for H&M collection was shown in NYC on the catwalk alongside with some iconic pieces created just for this exclusive show. This isn't a collaboration I'm crazy enough for to wait outside at 4am for, but I did find some pieces in the collaboration/collection I would love to have magically show up in my closet ;D

BEAUTY STAPLE: OPI NAIL POLISH

As I sit here waiting for my nails to dry (after painting them with OPI's You Don't Know Jacques!), I decided to post my love for my staple polish brand and colours. I am very brand loyal to OPI nail polish, I am grateful for OPI's affordable price, quality lasting power and finish, and their selection of sassy colours I can't get enough of! :D







Next OPI nail polish collection coming out is inspired by Holland CHECK IT OUT HERE.
