Essie ‘A Spring To Invest In’ Collection
Essie’s first collection for 2012 will be releasing sometime this month. These colors just reinforce my trend spotting predictions for S/S 2012.
The six colors are made up of 3 feminine and romantic colors and the rest are bright and bold. I absolutely love the pastels and am looking forward to seeing them in full force this summer.
The colors from left to right: Navigate Her, A Crewed Interest, To Buy or Not To Buy, Tour de Finance, Ole Claliente, and Orange, It’s obvious.
A Guide to Nails for Fall
We can all resort to the typical colors for fall, myself in particular, like OPI’s “You Don’t know Jacques” and Essie’s “Mink Muffs”. Or, you can take an adventurous route and try new colors that bring you a little out of your element. Besides, we all know the best thing to experiment with is your nails.
Trust me, these aren’t bizarre, but perhaps they’re colors you’ve never considered.
Blue Jean Baby
Chanel ‘Les Jeans de Chanel’ Collection (Available September 8)
A range of beautiful blues, perfect for fall and a stray from the earth tones we’re use to seeing for fall.
A Range of Greens and Teals
OPI ‘Don’t Mess with OPI’, OPI ‘Cuckoo for this Color’, OPI ‘Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow’, OPI for Sephora ‘Teal We Meet Again’
I can already tell you I’ll be obsessed with greens and dark teals this fall. They’re different but not enough to be jarring or to overpower an outfit.
Rubies and Vampires
Essie ‘Carry On’, Deborah Lippman ‘Lady is a Tramp’, MAC ‘Vintage Vamp’, illamasqua ‘Untold’
I always love red for fall, it’s sexy, seductive and appropriate.
Monday Morning: Waiting for Fall
There is never a day that has gone by since we have moved to Texas that I haven’t heard someone say how ridiculously hot it is here. And lets face it, it’s pretty damn ridiculous.
In an effort to reduce the desire for rain to get us out of this miserable drought, I’ve turned my attention to window shopping for fall. Forget swimsuits and pools, I’m going full steam ahead to black and leather.
1. Leather Jacket, Zara
This is pretty much a staple item in any fall wardrobe, and since I think I left mine on the Black Eyed Peas tour bus, I’ll need a new one this year.
2. Open Toe Heels, L.A.M.B
Ever since I purchased a pair of chunky heel sandals from the Lauren Conrad collection at Kohls, I fell in love with chunky heels all over again. You still get the height, an added comfort and a laid back, not-so-dressy look but can still feel a tinge of the “I feel pretty sexy” feeling that a pair of stilettos would bring. And now that I live in Austin, stilettos probably won’t cut it anyway.
3. “Going Incognito”, Essie
I’m pretty sure Emerald Green will be my color of choice this fall. Well, at least a color in a series of choices because, knowing me, I’ll be hoarding fall shades like they’re going out of style. This is what I call perfect timing, as my “Turquoise & Caicos” and “Mint Candy Apple” are now running low.
4. Leather Ribbed Pencil Skirt, Topshop
I really have no use for this skirt, but that won’t stop me from buying it anyway.
