Outfit For Every Occassion!

These days, I am thinking of renovating our TINY walk-in closet and comparing all the possible options. I still can't make my mind whether custom-made closets or modular closets from Organized Living would meet better w/ both my budget and the style I want. Speaking of home improvement, it will always be an on-going project in my house. lol

After all, I want my family feel HOME, my friends feel welcome, and I feel proud about myself w/ all the efforts I put in.

I had couple ensembles over the past couple days and I assume it is fun to see all of them when putting all together in one post. :)

I don't know why I looked all cheered up in this pic. hah...

I think I even dream about my script when practicing my monologue these days...my, I probably shouldn't be this pushy about myself...haha....I probably should just focus on taking care of my family, cooking, ........ shopping and all that..... I probably should forget about the acting class..... Oh, well....
Nay!!! I like challenges, very much, as a matter of fact. And I like having fun!! :)

"Models Of The Runway" walk the Inglourious Basterds Red Carpet--and one of them wears NIKOLAKI!!

Glorious Models!Find the NIKOLAKI: Model Lisa Blades (center, in fuchsia pink) wearing NIKOLAKI on the "Inglourious Basterds" Red Carpet Hollywood Premiere

First things first: As we all know (or should know by now!), Project Runway premieres on Lifetime August 20Th (that's just a little over a week from now and I can't wait!). Secondly, we also now know that not only are the designer contestants going to be the "stars", but for the first time ever, so will the models. Last night was the Red Carpet Hollywood Premiere of the much-awaited Quentin Tarantino film, Inglourious Basterds. And guess who was invited: The Models of the Runway!Six of the models, Fatma, Ebony, Kojii, Katie, Tanisha and Lisa attended--most of which reside in LA, since that is where the premiere was occurring. One of them, the gorgeous (and very tall) Lisa Blades wore a dress from my NIKOLAKI collection, a fuchsia and black silk duchesse mini- dress with puffy sleeves. You can see her in the center of the above photo. I happen to think she looked STUNNING! But, of course, I'm a bit biased. Her hair and make up was very Balenciaga Paris runway show!Statuesque Beauty: Model Lisa Blades in NIKOLAKI celadon silk crepe and turquoise silk shantung gown with vintage Swarovski brooch

If you want to check out more of Lisa--and the rest of the models--you can go to the great Lifetime Network Project Runway/Models website and see Lisa's "photo portfolio", some of which include her wearing more of my NIKOLAKI dresses and gowns. She was one of the models featured in my Spring 2009 Look Book and website, along with Season 3 Project Runway Model Amanda Fields. I guess I can pick them well!

This week's wishlist

This week, the products I have mostly been lusting after are...

Lise Watier Portfolio Corrector Concealer Wheel £17.64 - it is designed to correct and conceal skin tone irregularities and under-eye circles. The green shade is for redness and the lilac for dullness. It contains chamomile, Vitamins E and C. Ever since seeing Kandee The Makeup Artist use this for one of her looks on You Tube, I have wanted it!!!

Laura Geller Spackle Tint & Glow £17.64 - I also started coveting this after I saw Kandee using it. Basically the main pot contains a tinted bronzing primer to brighten your complexion, give you a golden glow and create a smooth base for makeup. THEN (and this is the bit I love!) the top compartment flips up to reveal two sheer cream highlighters called Icy and Rosy to apply to your cheekbones and browbones. It's a multi-tasking product and I MUST have it!

Tarte Natural Beauty Green Siren Cheek Stain £17.00 - Yet another product recommended by Kandee (are you beginning to see a pattern emerging?...ha ha) - This is a really subtel sheer berry gloss. It has 100% skin loving ngredients to care for your skin as you wear it. I don't normally wear bright blushes or cheek stains but when I saw this applied to Kandee's skin, it was so glowy and gorgeous...I may be a convert!

Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadows/Liners £14.00 - I have seen a few bloggers raving about these cream eyeshadows and I am really keen to try them out. I love the kind of eyeshadows that are like MAC Paint Pots. They are creamy to apply, create a great base for powder shadows, come in different finishes and they last all day. Perfect! I am definitely coveting the shades RSVP, Birthday Suit, Flatter Me, Tattle Tale and Skinny Jeans.

Chanel Bronze Universal de Chanel £35.00 - I've seen the likes of Belle Du Jour raving about the natural healthy glow and bronzing qualities of this product. I must admit that I've never been a huge fan of Chanel makeup...for such a high end brand, it always seemed to disappoint. This could possibly be their saviour though and at such a hefty price, you would hope so! I love bronzing products and this is high on my list of products I will be getting with my next pay cheque!
So what products are you coveting at the moment?
