Alexander McQueen and the Chanel Yetis

All of the photos below, except one, look fantasy Haute Couture rather than Ready to Wear, the poor buyers what are they going to order especially from Chanel?

Alexander McQueen completed 16 pieces at the time of his death and his inspiration was the Dark Ages. As I was looking at these photos I got carried away by the details on the three outfits I selected. The head-gear the feather like applique on the clothes and the colors, on some of the other outfits shown yesterday there were Angels and Christ as well - religious symbolism, the eagle represents Christ, the Phoenix is Resurrection and the last one the Raven represents the Satan, greed and ill-fortune. Free association how did I get here? I promise to return to planet Earth and nail polish soon.

Evil or not the raven is a beautiful bird

And onto much lighter and funnier delight from Chanel, I can only think of one word for this - Yeti fashion. I looked at the photos on Style.com this morning and I burst out laughing, I mean how can they even keep a straight face wearing those clothes /strike that/ clothes are the wrong word here.

This beautiful ice blue and white angora dress is one of the few outfits that are really nice. I love this color!

There is no new nail polish on the models, this color looks just like the recent Tendresse take a look here

How about an ice block for a purse of course with the double Cs?

Oscar Fashion

These are my favorite looks from the red carpet, I chose some of the dresses for the color rather than fabulousness, Zoe Saldana's Givenchy gown, the color is amazing but the dress is confused, starts out simple on the top and ends up with overdosed frill at the bottom. It looks as if the frilly part was an afterthought. Vera Farmiga's Marchesa gown, again I love the color, the oversized frill not so much. Sandra Bullock's and Charlize Theron's makeup looked simply stunning with the bold statement lips. Sandra Bullock wore the new Chanel Coco lipstick in Paris an amazing vibrant fuchsia color. I think her makeup was beyond fabulous. On the nail polish front, I couldn't see any outstanding colors worn by anyone, most of the nails were kept neutral except Miley's, she wore a dark red vampy color.

Alice in Wonderland

Although the movie have been slammed by some critics, I watched this trailer today the very first time and it looks amazing! The critic's biggest issue was that this movie is not at all like the story we all know, but some violent action packed spectacle, definitely not for children. I always thought that Alice in Wonderland was really scary for younger children, being lost, crazy scary characters, things coming alive in the forest at night not to mention the Red Queen!




OPI Alice in Wonderland Collection, 2 reds 2 glitters. I really wanted only one color from this collection: Mad as a Hatter, luckily saw this mini collection on Transdesign and gladly ordered the mini bottles. I wouldn't want to have the full size bottles of the reds, although they are nice but not unique. The first one is a bright tomato red creme, funnily enough I prefer this to the cooler shimmery red, Thanks so Muchness.

I do not have many OPI reds, maybe 2 or 3 but the other two colors: Don't Toy with me and A Ruby for Rudolph look very similar to this one.

I remember seeing these shoes a few years ago on Nicole Richie at the height of her famousness and the jealousy I felt for these wonderful glittery shoes.

Christian Louboutin Glitter Peep Toe Platform Sandals

Well if not Louboutins, certainly can have glittery shoes from H&M, these belong to my daughter and they are on the verge of getting holes in the front.

Well worn by H&M

Mad as a Hatter is a very nice glitter but very sparse. I tried it on first and ended up with 5 coats before it got opaque, same with Absolutely Alice. To save on the glitter I layered them on top of the shimmery red Thanks so Muchness. This way only needed 1 coat of each.

Konad Variations on Grey

A lot of plates for these konad prints, took a little something from each, see below. The base color is from Mavala (more on that next week). For the designs Revlon Punchy Pink, Konad polish in black and the new shimmery blue polish from the Princess range also from konad, I have no clue what the name of that is at the moment, there is no marking on the bottle not even a number. To finish the doggie design I added the shimmery metallic blue with a nail art brush, the color is from Hot Looks, No. 23 (Show Off), it is a Boots (UK) drugstore polish.
