Shoes and Candle of the Day!

These are my current favorite Flats from Sign by Giuseppe Zanotti. I got it for an Outlet price, so it was not too bad. Please ignore my unsightly pedicure, which is my favorite red: Big Apple Red from OPI!
This is my favorite candle in the winter but it is still burning nice and bright. It is Annick Goutal's Noel! Took the picture ages ago, so the candle is still very high up in the brim, but in reality it is almost gone. It is the most green candle I have every owned, smells just like fresh cut Pine Tree, which I don't know what it would actually smell like, but let's just say I do.

MARY KATRANTZOU, SPRING SUMMER 2012 PHOTOGRAPHS BY ERIK MADIGAN HECK








These Katrantzou campaign photos are incredible. There is something so vermeer-esq about the expression on the model's face, especially on the last photograph. The general composition on the surface is so classic and flat, yet the colour and energy is so exuberant. Bravo.

The Coveteur



Kirk Pickersgill's collection of bottles and
Prada espadrilles that he finds to be a little bit too popular.
Below are beautifully organized spaces of
Kelly Framel.

I must confess that I feel the great urge to clean the mess in my room.




If you are nosy like me and like to look at other people's personal spaces, and exceptionally well photographed versions of it, then you need to be following THE COVETEUR (http://thecoveteur.com/)
Jeff Halmos' color coordinated bookshelves and liquor collection.


Dee Dee Taylor Eustace's beautiful furnace and Chanel clogs.

Just pure inspiration, isn't it.
Objects do reflect who you are.
I think.

Favorites

Recent purchases and favorites:

Nars Roman Holiday Lipstick. This is a nice sheer finish you can easily apply. Strangely, as much as I love Nars as a cosmetic brand, this was my first lipstick from the line, and I am excited to try more. The consistency is brilliant. It is different from the luster from mac, it is more moisturizing but not too glossy looking. Love.
Some of my favorites now:
-YSL Rouge Volutpe Pearl 102: This is a very pearlescent peach with gold veil. It is not the easiest color to wear, but if you want to brighten up your complexion with a bit of shimmer. Make sure your lips are well-moisturized, to make it go on seamlessly. It tends to be slightly drying and too glittery, but I love the color. A DIVA color with high maintenance, I would call it.

-NARS Sheer Glow Deauxville: I love this foundation. Very easy to blend, and I use a Q-tip to dispense it out. The shade selection was perfect for me, and I think the NARS Primer (multi-protection) works beautifully well to make it very nice and long-lasting. I have slept with it on and it looks good in the morning. A true verdict that no one should ever do.

-ARCONA Magic White Ice: Beautiful serum/ moisturizer depending on your skin type. I use it in the morning, and it has the most beautiful berry scent and it prevents acne with Antibacterial Totara, making this a perfect moisturizer for everyday uses if you are acne prone or oily.

-Chanel Tweed Rose: Chanel blushes are my all time favorite blushes. I always tend to apply too much, but hardness of the Chanel blushes make it easy for me to apply just the right amount and it is such easy pigment to blend around.
THANKS for reading, -Cathy
