Nail Obsessed

Obsessed with nails lately. I need to get mine redone but wish my salon had more variety of colors and art and were a little more open minded. Gotta hate living in the burbs. I guess I am just spoiled from all the great pics I see daily of fabulous nails. Some nail inspiration below. (PS my tumblr + blog were destined to intertwine at some point, so sorry if you see images you've seen before : )



I think I am going to go for this look of nail this weekend. It's the french manicure natural look with a wider white tip. It'll look better when the nail starts growing out.

Just added this because I had nowhere else to squeeze it in; <3



KTZ Runway A/W 2011

My jaw dropped when I saw this collection today!! It's as if Memphis Italian designers transported to now and created this collection. I absolutely love it and want every piece. I'd wear it every day. Hair by Charlie Le Mindu.

Charlie Le Mindu Pt 2 - Lady Gaga

After seeing his work, I knew Gaga had been inspired by it at some point.

Charlie Le Mindu

I've seen his hair designs and clothing before but just didn't know his name, until now. Charlie Le Mindu is a French-born hairdresser and wig designer. Just thought I'd share some pictures of his work. http://www.charlielemindu.com/home.html

2009








Waspies, suspenders, knickers and night gowns..oh my!

I've been browsing through various lingerie sites and stores to get an idea of what is out there. My lingerie drawer has been in a sad state, and I need some new pieces so I thought I'd share my finds with you. Some of my finds made me want to wear the lingerie on the outside, though I realize it's that versatile, if you're bold and thin enough. Also discovered that the good stuff is not cheap....not one bit.

Frederick's was my first stop (I remember browsing in the shop in LA on the strip)..A lot of these websites don't allow me to save the nice big pictures, so I'll make do. Biker chic is what they call these looks. Note: these pieces probably aren't worn with the idea of comfort in mind, and these would be incredible for a lingerie night out to the club, lol!



Next was Wolford, and expensive as &^%$. Luckily, they really only have basics and their RTW only really caught my eye. A bodysuit and a body contoured dress that made me think I was ready for the early 90's again!



This dress was over a grand!



I tried Victoria Secret next but I really only do well when going into the store physically, as the website gives me a headache. Too much to look, and too many voluptious boobies staring at me.

So I staggered onto La Perla...and loved what Jean Paul I saw..again, expensive. The sites store images were blah, so I went with the ad campaign shot.



Victoria Beckham wore a set on the November cover of Marie Claire.



With a lingerie overload, I lastly found a Begium designer by the name of Celine Pinkers. There's no real way to acquire her pieces, unless you live in Belgium me thinks, but her ideas are phenomenal. It has a very dark vintage feel.

If you have any lingerie hot spots I need to know about, please pass the info along! I'd appreciate any help!

Iron Fist 2011

Iron Fist finally has their 2011 things in. I'm not always a fan of their shoes/clothing but they do have some brilliant ideas that I enjoy!

These heels are so awesome but the front ruins it for me with the tacky bow.
