Lacquered Love


I must admit I've become a bit nailpolish-obsessed! One of my favorite things to do these days is visit the drugstore and pore over the rainbow of options before me. I absolutely LOVE the names these cosmetic companies concoct, too--I wish I could have a job in which the sole responsibility would be naming colors. But who could top "Speedy Hot Tamale" by Maybelline?! My absolute favorite is a pedicure with Essie's bright pink "Short Shorts" nail polish. But while I've stayed true to Essie for the most part (with shades like "Chastity" and "Secret Stash"), I've also discovered the dangerous world of luxury polishes from Chanel and Dior as well as the wonderfully cheap realm of Wet N' Wild and Sally Hansen. Here's my wishlist of colors (with both high and low pricepoints) below:

A dark, sultry purple (Vendetta by Chanel, above) as well as a bright, neon one (Bermuda Shorts by Essie, below)

A deep, shimmery navy (Navy Baby by Sally Hansen, Dead Calm by Rescue Beauty Lounge, below)

A jet black injected with a bit of silvery sparkle (Black Sequins by Dior)

Primal Urges


These Christian Dior heels showed up at the CITY office yesterday and I was fascinated with them. I mean, how fantastic are they?! I love it when designers create over-the-top shoes with interesting details--case in point, that amazing fertility-goddess heel. I hear Beyonce, ever the fashion forward diva, has a pair. Below, some more creative looks...

Miu Miu Teacup Heels

Prada Flower Heels

Chanel Lightbulb Pumps (they actually work!)

Roger Vivier Rose and Thorn Heels
