GIRL FRIDAY ♥ GETTING FOXY ♥

I have seen a lot of new foxy prints and I am loving them. I know they are always around in some form or other. But these are just a couple of pieces I really love and wouldn't mind adding to my Xmas list...

This CUTE AS A FOX WOOL CREPE FITTED DRESS from Orla Kiely. $465. Available here.

so so so cute.

 This FOX FAIRISLE FLAIRED DRESS from Orla Kiely. $345. Available here. I love the color combo of aubergine and dusk.

 

This Fox Print Sweater from Forever 21. I tried to find it online, but didn't have any luck. You might want to try your local F21. I got this because it looks like my little dog. But it's really a fox. (Though they say Chihuahua's descend from foxes and not wolves like other dogs...so it works.) It looks quite large and wide here. But it's pretty small. Perfect atop my vintage flared jeans. It was less than $20.


More ideas soon...happy shopping and eggnogging!♡

PRE-FALL 2013 ♥ MOSCHINO CHEAP AND CHIC ♥

Here we are again, at Pre-Fall, during the holiday season. Does anyone even pay any attention to these collections? These collections are mostly so small and abbreviated, a bit redundant and somewhat ridiculous. Still, I take time to check them out because you never know what you might see. I really love this little lookbook for Moschino Cheap and Chic. I have been a fan of the brand since I was a teen. I even have some crazy big heart earrings that I got one year for Christmas. I don't know if they're Cheap and Chic, but I am assuming they are. I really like this little pixie of a girl and a lot of the pieces are adorable. The photos are nice. Nothing overly sexy which I am terribly sick of. You can see more here.


i love this look probably the most.

that dress could look so tacky and cheap and it doesn't here.

i love this 20s/30s thing happening.

love it. so cute. so chic. and i am a sucker for blush and black.


there's something so so moschino a la 1992 here. that red, white and black.

this swan number is a very good piece to have. some pieces are excellent collection items...you can wear them until you're a granny.

WEDNESDAY WISHLIST ♥ SLAYER CHRISTMAS SWEATER ♥

I already tweeted this on my other twitter account (not the Nancy Girl twitter account) AND moaned and groaned about it being sold out on my other facebook page...but I had to also post it on here because it's so so amazing. 

This is a crazy Slayer (as in the thrash metal band) "Christmas" Jumper/Sweater that was for sale on their merchandise site and it is totally sold out! I LOVE THIS SWEATER! I am going to look for it on EBay and also ask Santa for it. When else are you going to get a Christmas sweater covered in pentagrams and skulls??? (Actually...it sort of matches those Nars candles I wrote about. You could wear the sweater and light a bunch of those Nars candles...pretty funny thought.)♡



front and back...best sweater ev er.

SEXY GIFT IDEA ♥ NARS CANDLES...LUXURY LUXURY ♥

Oh wow....how happy would I be if someone gave me one or five of these glorious luxe GORGEOUS candles by NARS! I think they have a scent for everyone. But I guess these aren't for everyone. Make sure you give these to someone who actually appreciates the thought, the effort and the price...these aren't for people who just want candles from Bath and Body Works (bleh). These NARS candles also say they have a burn time of up to 70 hours! YES. They should for the amount of money they cost!

The first one is called ACAPULCO and costs $50 (I think they all cost around $50). I didn't know what to think this would smell like by the name alone (so Nars!). But wow...the description is all my favorite things and very apropos for holiday (IF you like sweet smells of chocolate and vanilla):

A delicious top note of rich, velvety chocolate is combined with a delicate blend of whipped cream accord and coffee bean for intensity and depth, while the dry down captures the senses with a distinctive base of cocoa powder and creamy vanilla. 
one of the chicest candles in all existence!


BOSPHORUS is exclusive to the Nars website, methinks. It also says this candle smells this way:
Top notes of pure lilac blossoms and sweet essence of hyacinth are blended with middle notes of crushed green leaves, accents of currant, mandarin, and peony laced with raspberry and subtle aquatic notes. 

another chic one....!


SHANGRI-LA seems very perfect for the winter season. It's also an exclusive candle to the website and probably the stores and also costs $50. I love things that smell like tea...at least a little like tea is good. It's also in the gorgeous rich crimson color. So so Nars.

Fresh, clean top notes of bois de rose and mountain sage paired with warm, spicier notes of clove bud, nutmeg and basil leaves produced this enticingly spicy and exotic scent. The heart combines delicate notes of jasmine petals and black tea for a softly provocative touch.


There are a couple of other candles, too, if these scents don't turn you on. Check them out here. And really consider these for that person who loves luxury or that person who never gets to have any luxury in their lives. I bet it will be one of their most favorite presents they've ever received. :) ALSO ALSO ALSO if you order from Nars online, you'll prob end up with some lovely deluxe samples or gifts or something! Score!♡
