♥ TUESDAY TAILOR ♥ ULYANA SERGEENKO COUTURE FALL 2013 ♥

YEA! I was so excited to see that it's Couture week in Paris and that the new collection from Ulyana Sergeenko was already posted up! I love this designer so much. I wish she would do a ready-to-wear collection, too. Wait...did she? I can't remember at this second, but she should. I do see a lot of easy-to-wear looks in this couture collection, but I'm only featuring the looks that I absolutely love and dream that I'd be wearing if I was a super cool princess who dressed like I lived in an enchanted and very haunted forest. :) To see the rest of her collection, click here.I love everything about her shows from the shoes to the hair. I especially love that accent of very cherry red we see here and there. I think there's also one dress in that color, too, below...♥

yea! she's still doing that very witchy thing and i love it!

gorgeous and gorgeous decision to use this model for this look.

just gorgeous. can you imagine if we saw a princess or a red carpet celebrity wearing this? amazing.

just love it.

something out of a dream. and look at those gloves! those are my favorite and i love love that color!

the sexy side of sergeenko that i love so much. hot.

another little winter dream.

so amazing and love those tights.

this dress is so gorgeous. and i like that the shoes or tights are all geared to make a look and aren't trying to be sexy.

♥ MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ L'OCCITANE ALMOND MILK CONCENTRATE ♥

Wow....what a week. It was AWESOME. But I'm really tired/exhausted. I have so much to write about. But the first thing I want to feature is one of my ultimate new new favorites and probably something I will always repurchase. It's the Almond Milk Concentrate body creme that comes in that gorgeous heavy glass jar. I get really dry all over when I travel by plane and sleep in hotel rooms, etc. It's just something I've gotten used to. And, on this trip, I totally forgot to bring any kind of body lotion. Thank goodness there was a boutique in the airport where I was able to pick this up quickly. It's less expensive compared to my Laura Mercier body creme...which I have written about here. I love them both, but I think I might buy this one from L'Occitane from now on. I have some long-time favorites from this French brand (including their Royal Jelly shower gel and all of their honey-based products) and I have a few things in my bathroom at all times (namely, their bath gels and bubble baths).

at the hotel and about to sleep. some vitamin c tablets that go into my water...some good eye cream and my l'occitane almond milk concentrate.

The other things I love about this creme in addition to the packaging (love love) are the smell, not a typical almond-y scent (which I am also a very huge fan of)...the smell is more of an almond blossom one...something really light. This is a very rich, emollient creme...you only need a little bit at a time, which is awesome because it's not a cheap product. It's perfect for summer and will always remind me of this trip that I just got back from. 

It's available here for $46 from Sephora.♥

♥♥♥ JUST AN UPDATE...ALMOST FINALLY BACK...! WHEW! ♥♥♥

I don't have a Sunday Matinee post for you today...I just wanted to say that I am finally back from my (I think very successful) trip...(fingers crossed) and thought I could check in quickly and say that there will be new posts starting tomorrow...I have a lot of things to share from skincare to makeup to shopping to vintage to Seattle (which is where I was...and loved it!). 

I'm still recovering and exhausted and really this West Coast heat wave sucks...especially for my little dog. :( Anyway...hope all is awesome! I'm giving you a teeny sneak peek of something I picked up that's AMAZING (for me at least)...will share more sooooon! Happy Sunday!
