♥ ORLA KIELY FALL WINTER 2012 COLLECTION ♥

I  love the brand Orla Kiely and how they market and style their pieces. It feels a little Miu Miu (meow meow!), but much more affordable. I could wear so many of these pieces. But I'd rather wear them with a pair of Marc Jacobs burgandy booties that he came out with around 7 years ago. I have so many little dresses like this that I have yet to wear. Soon....soon. x♡




the dress on the left. love it.

the dress on the right. love it.

SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ DIANA VREELAND DOCUMENTARY ♥



 I cannot cannot wait to see DIANA VREELAND: THE EYE HAS TO TRAVEL, the new documentary about fashion editor icon Diana Vreeland. I have probably done some posts about her before...perhaps about her book. If you have a chance to see this (it will most likely be at your art house theater and not your mainstream theaters which always show crap like Twilight), then definitely do see it. It will inspire you and give you a glimpse into what fashion writing and editing was like before it became a big hodgepodge of commercialized crap.♡

ps...more posts soon....(monday and tuesday!)

SATURDAY SHOPPING ♥ NEW CIATE NAIL KITS FOR HOLIDAYS ♥

I received a couple of new Ciaté nail kits to review a couple of weeks ago. I already mentioned in another post how in love with the Gold Digga nail polish I am. (It comes in one of the kits, but you can also buy it separately.)

First is the Caviar Manicure kit in HEADTURNER, which comes with the Gold Digga nail polish (a gorgeous metallic gold that looks almost antiqued...it looks expensive and luxe...not cheap shimmery and bright. It almost has a black or gray undertone) and a bottle of tiny gold and turquoise beads (this is the "caviar"), as well as a tiny little funnel so you can reclaim the beads not used. Now I'm not into these caviar manicures. But I do love this color combo. And after reading the pamphlet inside, I realized you don't have to cover your entire nail with them. You can do one nail. You can only cover the tips with the caviar beads. It might not be my thing, but I can see how a lot of people would dig this. This kit is $25.



The second kit will probably be part of a give-away I'm putting together. It's the Ciaté Sequined Manicure in SUPER DUPER. This comes with a clear "sequin glitter grip" polish, a pot of gold and silver and black "sequins" that's really just glitter and a brush to brush away the excess from your nails when you've covered them up. I do like the color combo. I wish they used larger round glitter particles rather than these tiny glitter bits. Again, you can do the entire nail bit or just the tips. All nails or none. You can purchase this kit here. It retails for $19.



Once I get a few things together, I'll announce the giveaway...I will be including this particular kit in the stash. What looks very interesting is the upcoming Velvet manicure kits. Stay tuned.♡
