Trend Alert: Ombré nails

I love painting my nails. I have a Sunday night ritual to change colors over. This ritual has been made even better by the launch of Darling nailpolish.

Besides the fact that the range is full of amazing colours and beautiful limited edition ranges, they are also 3-free (meaning absolutely NO toulene, formaldehyde/formaldehyde resin, DBP or camphor) and are animal testing & cruelty free. Beauty doesn’t have to come at a price to your health or other living beings.

I’m telling you cause I just purchased their ombre pack- 5 colours for $65, so you can do this:

The ombre packs are currently available in pinks (above), purples and reds.

Like them on facebook to follow all of their deals: http://www.facebook.com/hellodarling

Can’t wait to see what wonderful surprises the lovely Heather and Kim will continue to bring in their limited edition ranges.

Emmys 2012: Best dressed

Which inspires you more?
Evan Rachel Wood in custom Gucci, Sarah Michelle Gellar in Monique Lhullier or Emma Stone in custom Lanvin.

Personally what I love about each of these looks is the detail.
Evan’s feathers and scales, Sarah’s watercolor print and Emma’s eagle belt.

Loving: Lorna Jane

I was lucky enough to win a $100 gift voucher from Lorna Jane through their RT competitions they’ve been having around Lorna’s philosophy Move, Nourish, Believe.

I’ve always really admired her Inspiration T-shirts so I decided to purchase some of those.

I decided on these, can’t wait to wear them. What do you think of their messages?

Sporting a big fat high bun today. This is a new look for me.

Who: Elie Saab

Am totally in love with the latest collection from Elie Saab. It’s full of sequins and bold colours. The gowns are stunning and I’m hoping we’ll see a lot of this collection worn by celebrities to the upcoming awards shows.

Wish List: Alexander McQueen Shoes

I’ve always wanted to own a pair of McQueen shoes, especially something signature like the skull.
These blue suede peep toes from the Fall 2011 collection are my current fave.
