Well Colour Me Tromp’d

These new designs from Rosalind Keep feature a simple yet quaint effect. This is called a trompe l’oeil effect. Trompe l’oeil is basically an optical illusion that is used in art. Here’s how it is used in fashion:

Classy, yet cool!

Edgy, Braided-Leather Necklace

I absolutely adore this new necklace by Anna Maria Parescu. It’s available exclusively through 20ltd. It is limited edition as there are only 10 available in whole world! I love it! It is, however, £350. Bit pricey for me, unfortunately.

Loves it! So fierce!

Heidi is Fierce!

I guess I’m stating the obvious by saying that Heidi Klum is fierce, beautiful, classy and so utterly wonderful. Here she is at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show just six weeks after giving birth to her FORTH child…

Beautiful!

MAC’s New Makeup Collection – Boroque Boudoir

givemeloveoverthis — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:56:01 +0000

SO, I was recently on the MAC Cosmetics website where I discovered a new limited collection has been released! There are three lipsticks, three lip glosses, two compact/sheer mystery powders and even a clutch! I’m kind of disappointed that none of the salesgirls told me about this the other day when I was in there.

So pretty! Anyways, what most of you don’t know is, I’m pretty much a regular at the MAC Pro store and MAC Counter at my local mall. I go there all the time. I usually treat myself with a few items from there every couple of weeks even though I go there at least twice a week. So, the salesgirls know my name, what I like, and a lot of other random details about me. Example: I get paid every second Friday

They usually give me a heads up on new collections and even throw free samples and things at me as soon as I walk in. This feeds my serious MAC addiction and keeps me coming back.

Anyways, seeing this new collection on the website makes me hope it hasn’t been released in the stores yet. There’s usually a good chance that collections have become sold out, especially around Christmastime. Either way, the collection probably has been released, but a girl can dream.

You can view the collection here. What do you all think? I gotta see this stuff in person so I’ll probably go tomorrow before class. As soon as I do, I’ll let you all know if it’s any good!

UPDATE:

So, I went to the MAC store to find out that most of the collection is sold out. This is insane since it literally came out on Thursday. I did, however, find out that two new lines are coming out on Boxing Day. For all of you Non-Canadians, that’s December 26th. I’m really annoyed because I loved two of the three glosses! I did, however, manage to snag one. It is the Lip Gloss from the Baroque Boudoir collection called Preciousness. It’s quite lovely actually. It’s like a sheer and metallic pink with a bit of an iridescent pearl to it. Pretty nice, I like it; however, I also wanted a couple of the lipsticks as well, but what can you do? Click this link for a swatch of the gloss I did get.

Thoughts?

Stores I Like…

givemeloveoverthis — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:04:11 +0000

Okay, so here’s my first real post: A list of stores I visit at the local mall every week, just to see what I can add to my want or need list! Kind of weird and compulsive maybe, but I find it strangely relaxing. So, my list is…

MAC – The Pro Store and the counter at The Bay… If I don’t visit both, I feel like I’m cheating on the other.
Banana Republic – I love their clothes, but rarely ever have a place to wear them. I mostly buy jewelry from here.
Aldo Accessories – I only buy the most fabulous rings and earrings from here. You know, the huge, magnificent kind. Sometimes I like their studs.
Aritzia – For the clothes. If you don’t have an Aritzia or know what it is, check out the link. Amazing!
Nine West – For purses and flats. Love them!

Hello there! Welcome to my blog. this is where I’m going to talk about things I’m excited about it the world of fashion and makeup mostly. For a long time, I’ve been trying to discuss these things with my friends, and they just don’t get excited like I do. So I decided maybe a blog would be a good way of getting other people excited about new products and what not. I’ll have a mixture of things I want or things I bought. Also, I’d really love to hear your opinion on any of this stuff, so comment away!

So, Fashion, meet Makeup. I think you make a great match.
