face check : i walk this beach

From The Fashion File

Sun, skin, music, accessories. Let me break it down for you:

1. Black Weaved Vinyl bag : Hands free is the way to be. Scored this baby at a flea market.

2. Red Sunnies via Civvies in Savannah,GA : Gotta keep the sun outta your eyes. These are similar to a pair I had last year with a little added metal.

3. YSL Parisienne Eau de Parfum : Feel sophisticated with one spritz. It's sweet and flowery without overdoing it & light enough for summer.

4. Smith's Rosebud Salve: Low key lipcare--I gave up on lip gloss in high school. This stuff gives just enough shine for me thanks.

5. Almay intense i-color: Any purple or dark colored eyeliner, really. I usually reserve this for evenings. Waterproof it up for nights at the beach.

6. deLiA*s Mint nail lacquer: Raved about previously. Still addicted to this color and I plan to wear it until the bottle or summer runs out.

7. CG translucent powder: I like to keep the shine on my lips; this tries to help out with that.

8. Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion SPF 55: I love a nice tan, but I also love not having skin cancer. This lotion + sunnies + a big floppy hat = heya, day at the beach!

9. Avon Gold Strength Fortifiant Top Coat: A gift from grams. Works like a dream! Nothing else makes my nail polish last longer. It also adds subtle gold specks for sparkle!

10. "Diamond" ring via Civvies: The most expensive diamond I can afford right now. I love the irony of it as well as the geometric design.

Music: Sleigh Bells (Treats), The Dead Weather (Sea of Cowards), Kasabian (West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum), Corinne Bailey Rae (The Sea), Spice Girls (Spice World) (& other random 90s music)

Happy, pretty summers, all!
Until Next Post,

almost jaded


Since the debut of the Chanel Fall 09 collection, I've been jonesin' for some of the refreshingly beautiful nail polish the models wore in the show.
Well, I got pretty darn close to the shade with my recent find from deLiA*s. Their shade is called "Mint" and Chanel's is "Jade" (it has a bit
more blue). It's the closest I've been able to get my hands on for less than 5
bucks! If you ask me, it's the must have nail shade of the season!










In other news...I'm currently working on the project for the scholarship gala. I'm running close to the deadline, but I hope to have it finished and fabulous in time!
The collection I decided to go with wasn't one of the three I was debating over. Instead, I chose to illustrate 5 looks from Alexander Mcqueen's final collection. It's sort of my tribute to his genius and the beauty that he left behind. He believed in breaking the rules and creating pieces that were more than clothes or garments and that's, and I greatly admire that.
