Sticky tags

I was browsing a novelty store earlier today and ran across this:



How super fun!  Imagine leaving a magazine or catalog in the bathroom with a bunch of these things sticking out for your significant other to browse through while their in the loo.  It was $5.99 -- and I thought it was a bit steep! But, upon scouring the web for them, I discovered they are only sold in the UK and Australia for about $4.50-6.00 as well + shipping.  I guess they were a good price, but I still wouldn't buy them for that much.  Maybe.

Nudes

Nudes... naturals... sexy!

I lovvvve these! But they are waaay out of my price range...but still, I love these palettes!


Left to Right--
Shoes: Fendi
Clutch: Rocio
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
Dress: Christopher Kane

Make these pop with red or turquoise-esque accessories!

Belts: Karen Millen (Left), Honister (Right)

Earrings: Monies (Left), Necklace: Antica Murrina (Right)

Perfect colors for Spring!

Tights, tights, tights!

Always on the hunt for something "different" and unconventional, I scored a pair of these at Urban Outfitters in the clearance section for $4.99! (Originally $14.00, online is reduced to $7.99)

Faded Floral Mesh Tight
Color: Ceremony (kind of a bluish-gray)

Yes, they look crazy and admittedly pretty weird, but they are definitely DIFFERENT. They aren't itchy, pretty durable feeling, and I think the faded rings accentuate different curves in your legs.  Now, to find an outfit and shoes to go with these...

Chain gang

I am currently really into collecting CHAINS! Multi-string, chunky, punky-goth looking chains!

I went hunting for chains at Forever 21 and H&M at the Promenade in Santa Monica this weekend and found some good pieces, all for under $8 a pop!  I'll post pictures of them sometime later.

Examples:

Flat Matte

I went perusing Forever 21 and ran across this little bargain in a bottle for $2.80: a teal-ish/green-ish MATTE FLAT nail polish! "Veeeerrry interesting," thought I.



So! What do I think? It's pretty cool! Different, definitely.  What I like about this is that it dries super fast.  When it's wet, it's slick and shiny looking and when it's dry--it's flat & matte, no hyper-shiny glossiness!  You KNOW when it's dry because it changes its sheen!

Now, this is cause for concern for top-coat users.  Most top coats I know of make your nails look shiny and are supposed to extend the life of your manicures.  You have to forgo the use of the top coat here and just use an undercoat instead.  BUT, on the up side, if you don't like the matte look, you could easily add the top coat and make your nail polish shiny!

I need to go back and find this in Matte BLACK! That'd be awesome!
