Apartment Stuff: My New Makeup Table....Love!

My new favorite place in my new apartment:

I heart this Makeup Vanity...

West Elm Parsons Vanity
On sale now $229 (originally $299)

The mirror is huge! I love this so much...the only down is that I do need to get additional storage for my massive stash. :-)

XOXO,
Awilda

I want you, I need you, oh baby, oh baby

This weekend in between writing law essays, revising and generally stressing about my current workload I have been obsessing over the most beautiful bag - the Oversized Mulberry Alexa in Mini Patent Leopard.

I'm not a huge fan of Mulberry, though I appreciate the brand; neither am I partial to Alexa Chung, I find her as dull as any matchstick, but this bag.. oh this bag! Classic, black, leopard, patent, roomy - it may as well be called the Natalya.

I have found one on ebay, but with 2 days to go it's already up to £550... oh the misery of lust! I. Can't. Stop. Dreaming. About. It. Help!

I would wear these shoes 24/7

If I had $1300 laying around...

To Die!!!!

Buy Them

Scribble Scrabble n' A Wow from Jason Wu 2011 Collection.

First of all, I think I am pulling my legs of forward-looking at 2011 runway Fall's collection while summer is yet to come and I already had a long list of "wanted" things for s/s. The New York Fashion week started and I can only stump my feet and am regret the fact that I can't go since I just had my PRK eye surgery. ~*sigh*~


Good news is that I can have eye bandage removed next Monday and my vision is slowly stabilized (hopefully less a month). Meanwhile, I will have my acting courses start tomorrow. How exciting~~~ ^O^

Neutral, and bare faces! ^^ (No make-up for a week....) 

For spring/summer, I love both bright colors as well as monochrome black or white looks. But in particular, I love neutral such as pink, beige and nude the most. Try pairing the same color of your tops together like Jason Wu did... ... me, here, Ivory tank w/ beige wool vest and lots of details on them. And neutral color never look outdated at all! 

My ODJ


1. Top:
Stella McCartney tank w/ bow in front
DVF wool beige vest coat


2. Bottom:
HM high waisted fold-over pants w/ sash 11'


3. Accessory:
(messenger style w/ Louis Vuitton wide straps) Bottega Veneta tote w/ Louis Vuitton Valentine heart coin purse 


4. Shoes:
Vintage dots mary jane 

I think my daughter took away the spotlight.... ^^

Here looking at Jason Wu's fall 2011 runway pictures, I adore his entire collection singled out a strong attitude and lots of details. Those dresses are so glamorous!!

Matching your top colors, blue, red, sheer, black n' white floral embroidery! 

More lace, sheer, feather, quality tailor, embellishment...show off your feminine side!

Wish I could wear those dresses for Valentines' Day~~ ^O^ Well, how about a Valentin's bright color make-up... it is a DO!!

Jill Stuart pearl pink eyeshadow. 

The shinning pink around eye corner, and lower eyeliner will make your eyes look a lot bigger and sexier.... (you know sometimes how people mistaken the white eye shadow around the corner for some "gooey discharge"  on your eye if you are not a make-up expert...haha....haha...... )

Collage is fun and I made a keep-sake frame from my 3 children's belongs....
one missing shoe, one missing mitten and one pair of socks.  




Here is another picture collage frame from us girls crazy Vegas trip!!

Are you ready for your Valentine's?!

Have a cheeky Sunday.

Nick Verreos weighs in on Madonna and Lady Gaga: Style Star on Style Network! TONIGHT Debuts 9PM!!!

Two Musical Style DIVAS!

Who's Fiercer: Lady Gaga or Madonna? Tune in TONIGHT, 9PM Style Network

Tonight on Style Network's "Style Star", we are sprinkling our "Style Glitter" on two of the BIGGEST STARS in the World: Lady Gaga and Madonna! Just in time for Grammy Awards weekend (Yes, kids, it's tomorrow night!).

"Style Star" is the show in which I am happy to give my weekly "Nick Two Cents" on the Top Hollywood Ladies of Style--along with other fashion experts. Tonight's episode was especially fun because I just D.I.E. for Miss Lady Gaga and Miss Madonna.

Nick Verreos on Style Network's "Style Star" show

Ever since I saw Madonna do "Like A Virgin" in that wedding dress at the MTV Awards back in the day (yes, I was all but a little child...NOT!), I just about followed her every fashion move.

And of course, we'll talk about that iconic Jean Paul Gaultier "cone-bra bustier" from her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour...

As well as that Louis Vuitton puffy dress, thigh-high boots ensemble she wore to the Met Ball 2009--curled-up "Rabbit Ear" hat and all...

And Lady Gaga: Well darlings, we could spend an ENTIRE DAY discussing her Fashion Hits and Misses, including the Armani Prive Custom "Out of Space" gown she wore to last year's Grammys and naturally THAT meat dress...

Tune in TONIGHT 9PM to the Style Network and "Style Star".

And in case you miss it: The Lady Gaga-Madonna Episode will also air throughout the weekend and week including...

Sunday Feb 13, 12 AM, 12:30PM, 10:30PM
