So retro

23 Feb

I’m adoring retro / rockabilly style dresses for the moment. But so many pretties to choose from!

Here are some of the ones I want

So many dresses, so little time 🙂

Marni for H&M

22 Feb

Have you seen the Marni for H&M collection?

I must say, it’s not all my cup of tea. Some of the pieces are just not my style or colour. I do however really like the skirts, whether they are satin, or blue polkadotted.

The collection will be hitting H&M shops on the 8th of march. And I can imagine they will sell out very quickly, like the previous “special” collections.

Here are some of my favourites:

Check out the entire collection on Vogue

Or in the official H&M video




And if you’re a fan, check out this behind the scenes video on Youtube

Silver surfing

20 Feb

An interesting nail polish was recently added to my collection: Silver.

I went for the GOSH Silver (colour 555), which is not just an aluminum silver, but also has a nice sparkle to it. I thought there was NO WAY this would get me that GOSH cover-in-one-coat, but it did!

One coat is nearly perfect. Covers very well. In order to show both the silver polish ánd the sparkles, I got a pic with and one without flash.

See? Love it!

Two coats give absolutely perfect coverage.

So silver nails. Great! Or a big no no ?

Catwalk fall

19 Feb

Winter is not coming, it’s here. And it brought snow. Lovely, but treacherous and slippery. Did you fall down on your butt these past few days or weeks? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.

Of course, these models are walking in mile high heels and on treacherous runways. Cudos to them! But for us normal people, cobblestones and wet marble are an equally big challenge.

So if you fall down flat on your face, do it with grace!

And stand back up with a big smile, like this Zac Posen model

xoxo!

An excellent fluff shaver

8 Feb

* A paper tissue hid in your washing and now your black dress pants have white fluff all over! *

You know the problem, right? We all have it 😉

Here’s (one of) my casualties. I use it as a ballet-short to put over tights, but yes, it is in fact underwear.

Not a pretty sight…

LUCKILY

I stumbled upon this little gadget in the shops yesterday: “the fluff remover”

I remember my mom used to have one of these, to bring our uniform skirts back to life. And at €1,99 (Kruidvat), I just had to have my own fluff shaver.

And… works like a charm!

Essie spring

6 Feb

Spring 2012 will be neon meets pastel.

Whether you choose one or the other, or combine trends, completing your look with the right nailpolish is an absolute must.

ESSIE spring 2012 presents 6 colours: 3 neons and 3 pastels.

  • “Navigate her”   new growth green
  • “A crewed interest”   pretty pursuable peach
  • “Olé caliente”   spicy scarlet fever
  • “Orange, it’s obvious!”   headstrong outspoken orange
  • “To buy or not to buy”   limitless lilac shimmer
  • “Tour de finance”   incandescent fuchsia futures

I like “to buy or not to buy” and “tour de finance”. Not a big fan of “navigate her”, but that’s just me. I’m not that into green nails.

What’s on you wishlist?
