My Current Favorite

The moment I tried this color in the shops, I fell in love with it and I promised I'll get one, one day. I said one day, because it is not the cheapest bottle of nail polish. Not your average £5 bottles. Sometimes I go for Nail, Inc. which is a bit on the expensive side and I have a bottle of OPI which is beautiful as well . As they say, you get what you pay for. Cheap nail polish chip quite easily in a day or two. 

finally, I got a bottle of my most coveted Chanel 's Le Vernis in Black Pearl.

I love the fact that it changes color depending on the lighting. In broad daylight, the color is just like how it looks in the bottle, more grayish than blue, but inside or with different indoor lights, it could be more blue than gray . One time it really changed to a royal blue. It's amazing and I love it.

Work Clothes Challenge

When I went to have uniforms fitted for my new job, I thought I would be able to take them home that day but it was not the case. I had to wait apparently 6 weeks max until I get them. It's only been over a week and I am now having a hard time thinking what to wear every single day.

It has always been my wish to wear normal clothes to work but as they say, be careful  with what you wish for,it might just come true. But while on the bus on my way to work, thinking about what to wear the next day, I had a light bulb moment. I thought of a mix and match idea with clothes. I will pick 20 pieces of clothing be it a dress, top, cardigan, trouser or shoes and they will form my capsule wardrobe for the next 6-8 weeks. I will mix and match them to create new outfits everyday without repeating.

Here are my 20 pieces of clothing:

5 tops

4 bottoms

4 dresses

2 cardigans and a coat suit

and 3 pairs of shoes that I haven't decided on.I will show them on my next post.

Laduree Salon at Harrods

I am definitely going back. These French macaroons are to die for. My favorites are pistacchio, coffee, madagascar chocolate,caramel and vanilla. It was the perfect post mother's day pre birthday treat for my mother. As they say in French, this is not au revoir.

i had two (vanilla and coffee) not realizing one is enough to fill me up.

had my macaroon with ceylon tea.

mama had her croissant (still very french) and freshly squeezed orange juice.

Nail Colors

I was never a nail polish person. Lately though, I have realized that I am getting obsessed with painting my nails. It makes me feel so feminine and besides, my nails look really nice in pictures. Before, I have always loved baby pink on my nails but have experimented with reds lately and I am loving the color. Last weekend, I attended a friend's birthday party and this is what I had on my nails. It's called "Ali's Big Break" from OPI, a very good brand of nail polish.

I love the fact that it has glitters on it. This will have to be my current favorite, until of course, when I get my hands on some Chanel Riva.

A Treat

I bought myself this...for getting The Job. What's inside? It's for me to know and for you to find out.

Mrs. Cruise for Kamiseta

Katie Holmes has come a long way since her Dawson's Creek days. She married into Hollywood royalty and has become sort of a fashion icon.

Now, our very own Kamiseta has signed her up to be it's image model.
