Fashion At Your Finger Tips

Just incase you didn't catch onto the fact from my first nail polish post, that I literally get so excited everytime Chanel releases new nail polish colors, I'm going to do another post (and more than likely many more in the future).

Although I am loving these new colors, I feel like you have to be a certain kind of person to pull many of them off. I also haven't quite figured out the whole, "Velvet" thing yet, is it matte? or what the hell is it. Either way I feel like the Black "Velvet" shade should have been saved for the colder months.

But, what I am REALLY not understanding is why Chanel is doing this gold thing again with Gold Lame and Illusion D'Or. Like, didn't we do this already with the whole, "Limited Edition" $30.00 bottle of Gold Fiction? Anyway, these golds they're introducing this time around look EXACTLY like Gold Fiction except with a some sparkles added here and there. Therefore if you were a sucker like myself and bought Gold Fiction the first time around, I would skip these two gold shades, but if you missed out on GF, then pick up either shade for 7 bucks less.

Besides the Golds, I'm dying over the two pinks; Mistral and Riviera, and the aqua blue, Nouvelle Vague, which in French means, New Wave. I'm not sure of the status on the pinks but I know the blue is sold out pretty much everywhere and it's hitting ebay for more than double the retail price. I actually stumbled upon a new shipment yesterday at Bloomies, but resisted the urge to pick up a bottle, but I'm thinking of reserving a bottle, because the color really is gorgeous.

Take a look for yourselves, and I'd be more than interested to hear your thoughts on the new color palate.

Enjoy xox.

Gold Lame, looks identical to Gold Fiction when you actually see the color

Gold Fiction

Mistral, Nouvelle Vague, Riviera

Nouvelle Vague applied on the nails, is a bright creamy hue which I really like as opposed to an opaque finish.

Wang Works Wall Street

Alexander Wang's 2010 Fall Accessories collection is a fun mixture between classic Wang exaggerated appliques and Wall Street inspired outlines. I personally love Alexander Wang, I find his fashion to be funky and fresh, although I'm not really feeling the shoes in this collection too much.

I LOVE the coco bag with the arm strap

Amazing Grace

I honestly, very rarely buy myself fashion magazines, I usually buy weeklies and then steal my grandma's/aunt's fashion mags instead. There usually has to be someone on the cover whom I really love and want to support with my OWN money, (even if it's just $5, I still feel better doing it, haha). One magazine I NEEDED to buy, the second I saw it staring at me on the shelf, was April's Vanity Fair.

The new cover holds a little special place in my heart. Why?, you may ask, because it features the Eternal Style Icon, Grace Kelly. I've always, always, always, loved old hollywood glamour, but Grace Kelly is much more than an icon to me. My love for her is a connection between my love of fashion and the love for my grandma and aunt, which, hysterically, both of their names are, Grace Kelly. I guess my family's love has been passed down from my aunts and grandma to me. My middle name is Grace, and also, the "real" Grace Kelly's middle name is, Patricia, which is my other aunts' name.

Oh, and another reason to pick up the mag, there's a fabulous article on shoe god, Christian Louboutin, all in all, I feel like this issue is definitely worth your hard earned dough.
