Fashionistas biggest nail varnish trend for A/W 2011

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. So sorry for the lack of posting lately but the days just seem to go so fast... still, catching up with you tonight I am blogging about the new and hot nail varnishes collections coming out in September.

It's been a big surprise that both Chanel and Dior are releasing blue nail varnishes, inspired by the shades of denim, for their A/W collections.
There's plenty to choose from, shades that range from deep and medium blue, to pale blue.

Chanel comes out with 'Les Jeans de Chanel' a trio of nail varnishes exclusively created for the Fashion Night Out, which will be released on September 8th.
The collection will be available through the end of September only.

Versus

Dior came out with 'Blue Tie' a collection with 2 really nice blue nail varnishes. One of them really caught my eye, the darker one, called 'tuxedo' has an amazing shimmer to it, which I truly adored.
I believe these are already available as I have seen them at the Dior counter.

So, the colour of moment is definitely BLUE but the question is which team are you going for?
Are you a CHANEL or a DIOR girl?

See you soon.

Street style

Street Style
'Fridays @ Portobello'

Hi guys,
It's been a while since I last posted some street style pictures, so getting back on track, let's start with 4 great looks for you to enjoy.



Liga, at High St Kensington.
I fell in love with her wedges, which are gorgeous and her dress too, it has a great print.

Marta, on Portobello Road.
A classic contrasting look, complimented by some statement jewellery and a lovely bowler hat.


Elenor, at High St Kensington.
Keeping it simple, letting this adorable red skirt speak for itself. Attention to the her glasses, they are super cute.

Kim, at High St Kensington.
I like the idea of the jeans shirt worn over the dress, it really works. She's also got the primark scarf, which is a winner and goes with everything.

See you soon.

Summer is back

Hi guys,

Today a summery outfit post, a look that has a tale to tell.

Starting by the scarf which I dug right from the bottom of my drawer, something that I bought like 6 yrs ago and never worn it before, one of those funny items. I went off the colour straight after I bought it. I was surprised at how it has survived in my closet this long... good news for me because I think it's perfect for this look, bringing everything nicely together.




Then, I booked a trip to Morocco after seeing a friend of mine with those shoes! I spent almost 2 days walking through the souks until I found them.


Time for my bustle skirt to come out. It only makes it a very few times in a year. Just to clarify that my skirt is not stuck anywhere that it shouldn't be!



I was wearing: Jacket + Bag: Zara, Top: Jigsaw, Scarf: Primark, Skirt: Vivienne Westwood, Leggings: from Brazil, Shoes: from Morocco, Sunglasses: Alexander McQueen.

YSL

A bit of an eye candy tonight, I couldn't help myself around the YSL section of this amazing shop in London. So, I took some sneaky pictures just to share with you all, I hope you enjoy.


A popular and favourite pair amongst fashionistas.


The Cabas Chyc bag is a gorgeous bag indeed.


This last picture I took from the YSL shop in Bond St.
I loved those too!

New Vivienne Westwood Lady dragon shoes

Hi guys,

A new batch of Vivienne Westwood Lady dragon shoes should be coming out in the UK very soon.
Melissa and Vivienne Westwood bring us some exciting changes this season, in this collection shoes are available in matt finish! How interesting, I loved the contrast of the matt plastic against the shiny wing straight away.




Another popular design such as the chromed heart, comes now with a colourful detail.



I am not sure when they will be available, but hopefully they will be before Xmas. Wish list anyone?

See you soon.

I wish I had a magic wand

Hi guys,

Another quick make up post tonight, about Sephora. I miss Sephora so much, I have only been once to the shop they used to have at Brent Cross shopping centre. I remember going there with a friend and I loved it. Not only for the style of the shop, which was awesome, it was something like MAC on a bigger scale but also for the quality of the products and their prices.

If I had known back then that Sephora would close it's doors for the UK market, I would have stocked up on loads of make up brushes! It seems to be a huge shame that Sephora has never made big in the UK. When I first came across it's huge store hidden in Brent Cross, I never understood why they never had a store in the centre of the town, it would have been a huge success as it has proven to be in Paris for example, apparently the store as Champs Elysee has queues at the front door.

Anyways, I am always jelous of anyone who's able to buys Sephora products. Especially now... Look at this ingenious idea, amazing for travelling and for your make up bag, all you need is 4 brushes into 1.



This slick wand has 2 brushes for the eyelids, one for the eyeliner and one for eyebrow. The brushes are combined with magnets, so they stay amazingly in place.

Practical and gorgeous. A MUST have.
We cry out loud, Sephora please come back!

See you soon.

New in my wardrobe

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. Today I am sharing some new items and bargains that I got this week.


Fabric boots from Zara, they were on sale for £10! They are a combination of canvas and leather, pretty cool to be worn with jeans or bare legs. They can also be folded and worn as a ankle boot too.


Paul Smith Rose perfume, I smelled this on someone and absolutely loved it. It's a mixture of rose and green tea, which stays on me for ages. Light and beautiful for the summer.


Zara silk top, a total bargain of Ebay. Lately, I have been in love with minimalist and classic pieces.

More coming next week!
See you soon.
