Still Winter ??!! ~~~

Pei shared this pic. w/ me cause' she liked the contrast of white peep-toe booties against black ties.

Except the booties, the whole look kinda reminds me a "sheep" though!! :P

I was also eyeing on those cut-out/peep-toe white booties since last spring but never occurred to me that I'd actually find a gorgeous pair unintentionally.

 I picked a pair socks of mine which has orange color around the toe n' green in the calves to play up more fun/warm color w/ my ensemble.

Here is a narrative of this New Designer: Laurence Dacade

Inspired by David Bowie’s erotic androgyny, the French designer—also part of the creative team behind Chanel’s shoes, has created a range of sheer zipback boots, Verner Panton–esque lace-ups, and pointy patent wing tips. (Elle.com)

On Monday, we girls hanged out together again n' chat about what are we going to do on Valentine's day and girl's night out afterward. unexceptionally, we talked about IT bags, shoes ..... .... then couple of us also talk about a "BAN" on luxury spending or a big "Saving" - a better put, that we'd spend wisely this year.  ^O^

MAC Haul

Ooooh it feels good to do a MAC haul! It's becoming a monthly event for me! As I said in a previous post, I ordered the 190 foundation brush and I will be comparing it to the Ruby & Millie one I recently bought. These products have all been on my lust list for god knows how long so I'm chuffed I have finally got my dirty little mitts on them. After a fierce recommedation from Alpha Blonde in one of her vids on YouTube, I had to get the 217 Blending Brush since she described it as amazing at softening your eye looks and single handedly making her makeup look more professional. I can't wait to start using this baby!

Alpha Blonde had also recommended Shy Girl lipstick so I picked up one of those - it always looks so good on her and since we have similar skintones, I figured it would suit me too. It's a gorgeous peachy shade that's a little bit sheer and I think it will look great with a tan in summer! After numerous recommendations of Angel lipstick in the comments on my wedding makeup post, I wanted to pick up this shade and I have to say I'm really pleased it. It's a beautiful natural pink that is so super flattering on me, I can tell already that it will be an everyday colour. It will be a great contender for my wedding day lipstick!

I have been trying out alot of different concealers as I've been looking for the perfect one to cover any blemishes/uneven skintone. I had heard that Studio Finish Concealer is brilliant for this type of thing so I am going to give it a go and see how I get on with it. I got it in NW20 and it looks like a good match for me. I remember Bubblegarm did a post on it not too long ago so that also made me want to test it out.

Since getting my first Fluidline ages ago, I have wanted to try out some more shades and this dark brown shade called 'Dipdown' will be perfect for a softer everyday colour. Sometimes black can be too much so I think this will be a really nice alternative.

Dollymix is a blush I have wanted to ages. Everyone seems to have it so naturally I got curious about this sheertone bright pink shade. It scared me a little when I saw it at first but once applied, because it's a sheer formula, it's very flattering and just adds a slight flush to the cheeks.

It almost has a red tone to it when it's in the pan, but when you swatch it or apply it to your cheeks, it's just a really lovely pink that makes me look very healthy. The slight shimmer is very finely milled and so it translates really well on the skin, creating a sheen rather than a glittery mess.

The last of my purchases is Pigment in Vanilla. Oooooh yes, it's the ever trusty one of the bunch. I have seen people use this as a highlighter, mixing it with moisturiser to give legs a beautiful sheen and also just as a plain old eyeshadow/base colour.

I just know this pigment will form the base of many a look in the future, it's so flattering on the skin, especially if you have a slight tan. The thing I love about pigments is that they seem to last forever. It feels so good to have a few things ticked off my lust list and so far, I'm pleased to say that none of the above has disappointed me at all. Yah for products living up to your expectations!

TV Guide Grammys Fashion Wrap with Carrie Ann Inaba and Nick Verreos: Video plus Photos!!

The Best, Not So Best, and Why I Have A Crush on the Jonas Brothers (their style, of course!)...The Red Carpet TV Guide Network "Choir": Jennifer Rade, Nick Verreos, Kim Vo, Carrie Ann Inaba (in NIKOLAKI) and Lawrence Zarian

On Monday, I taped my TV Guide Fashion Wrap--the Grammy Awards Edition--with hostess and Red Carpet "Moderator" and Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba. I just found out that it was the HIGHEST RATED Grammys Fashion Wrap in TV Guide history (yeaaay!!!). Also, you may remember that she wore a NIKOLAKI dress on Sunday when she co-hosted the TV Guide Grammys Red Carpet Show. And now for the Fashion Wrap, I decided to dress her again--in a black silk jersey cowl draped dress with leather shoulder accents. Two NIKOLAKI's in two days! Also, the entire set was donned with NIKOLAKI gowns and dresses, in case you think those dresses in the background look a bit "familiar".

As always, I had a lot of fun with my fellow panel of experts, including Lawrence Zarian, Jen Rade--who styled Carrie Ann, as well as Pink on Grammy night. Also, giving his opinion on the hairstyles of the night, was the one and only Kim Vo--hairstylist and colorist TO THE STARS! Hear (and watch) what he has to say about doing Miss Britney Spears hair for the night--as well as all our other fun and crazy commentary--including some insightful dish on designers, collections, and what the stars are wearing. Yes, I try and give some information and educate--as well as give my fun "Nick" two cents. In case you missed the show...

Teeth Whitening...I need some advice!

I really need some advice on the best way to get my teeth whitened for the wedding. My teeth aren’t to bad as I don’t smoke or drink red wine/too much coffee. I just want to brighten them by a few shades so they look nice in the photographs. I have never had my teeth professionally whitened before or done it myself. Basically I just want to know the best way to go about it…go to a professional dentist and pay around £400 or use a ‘at home’ kit? I had been told about a special promotion at a dentist near me where they were offering professional whitening for only £200 but that was a one day only promotion and unfortunately I’m away that weekend. I have been checking out some reviews of home kits and to be honest, some of them make me very nervous…there’s been horror stories of teeth falling out and extreme sensitivity so I’m not keen on either of those side effects!

I have sensitive teeth, not really bad, but I don’t want to make them worse by using a whitening product that will aggravate it. I had looked into kits that involve mouth guard style plates with gel solution and also the pens that are now available (but to be honest I am sceptical about those pen things!). The only product that I think I will steer clear of is Crest Strips as I’ve heard they make your teeth so sensitive that you can’t even eat! Not fun.

So ladies, hit me back with your tried and tested products that have worked for you!
