Jump-Suit!

I don't know why do I do layers when I wore jump suit. Must be my insanity!!

Yesterday

1. Top:

• H&M black halter style jump suit layered inside
• Michael Angel digital print t-shirt dress spring 2010
• St. John contour taupe peasant top

2. Bottom:
iRoo (Taiwan) pink bubble skirt

3. Accessory:
Steve Madden for Steve metal belt

4. Shoes: Betsy Johnson black mary-jane w/ golden heels

I like Michael Angle t-shirt dress playing pee-a-poo there......digital print could be very intimidating sometimes..

Yesterday I was searching internet for the best rate of going to HAWAII.... during spring break!!......geez, hotel n' fare are pricey!!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This is today.... nop, we didn't move in this Mansion!! I wish we did. :P

We went to Filoli Garden again w/ Cathy since we didn't take pretty flower pictures last time. It is definitely worth the re-visiting at this season.

I didn't know there are so many different forms of Camellia before.
So, you think which Chanel's camellia is??

I still don't have the time to find a new veil to restore that Vintage hat!!

My ODJ.

• AGAIN, H&M jump suit.... now I can toss it into washer... :P
• The new face-lift Millard Fillmore MF13 quilt cropped jacket.

(AGAIN, anything that's too old will need a fact lift.....)
Advice: you definitely can't pull off your great grand mom stuff into current trend. ^O^

• BR brushed nickle studs belt
• URBN croc embossed bow belt
  
• Christian Louboutin rose gold peep toe wedge
• Vintage ivory hat w/ veiling n' crystal decor. on half bow
  

I love that vintage hat n' I will wear it whenever I feel like it.



The Vintage ivory almost fell off my head ...it looks like it.....in fact, it fell off right after this shoot!! ^O^

Have a great Wed. ....
Don't forget to visit a garden near you!! :)

MAC Haul!

I was NOT impressed when I came home to find the DHL man squashing my precious MAC package through the letterbox! I almost snatched it off him! That really annoyed me that he was taking no care whatsoever with my goods...I mean, I have paid a handsome sum for these products and he was haphazardly forcing them through the door! He just said "well, you weren't in...so what was I supposed to do?"...eh, deliver it to a neighbour...leave a card! What an idiot! Ok, grumble over...but if he had shattered any of the products, I would definitely have been making a complaint!

Ok...I'm back in my happy place now...here are my goodies... I had a real urge to splurge so I got:

E/s in Crystal, Mulch, Honey Lust, Shimmermoss & Gesso
Lipstick in Pretty Please
Lipglass in Pink Lemonade
Penultimate Eye Liner
Moisturecover Concealer in NW20
Fluidline in Blitz & Glitz
Cremesheen Glass in Fashion Scoop
Lip Pencil in Naked Line
Paint Pot in Soft Ocre
I had wanted to get Gesso ever since I saw the amazing look that Alpha Blonde a.k.a. Aleksis created with Parfait Amour e/s. I can't wait to play with it now! Everyone talks about Mulch being a gorgeous brown and it really is. I wanted to get Crystal to complete my purples collection...it will be a great base for a purple smokey eye!

Shimmermoss has always appealed to me. It's just such a lovely colour and I think Gesso could also be used with this to create a really interesting look for summer! Honey Lust just looked so pretty on some of the swatches that I had seen...it would be rude not to get it!

I looooove the Fashion Scoop Cremesheen, it's such a pretty baby pink colour and a perfect gloss to go over Pretty Please. I really like the consistency of these, they really do live up to their name! I may have to get a back up because I just know this will end up being a fave of mine. The Pink Lemonade Lipglass was alot brighter than I anticipated but I love it all the same. It will be gorgeous in the summer months worn with Honey Lust eyeshadow and golden skin.

Pretty Please is a lovely subtle glaze of a lipstick, just a touch of girly pink. It's another lipstick that can only be applied to really smooth lips though. Better get the lip scrub out again! I have wanted to try a MAC lipliner for a long time to see how they compare to my fave Estee Lauder ones. I really like the super natural colour of Naked and it will be perfect for accentuating my pout without looking too obvious.

Since I love Fluidline in Blacktrack so much, I have been coveting it's disco cousin...Blitz and Glitz! It is shot with gold pearl so it will be perfect for nights out on the town when I want a bit of extra glamour. I just HAD to pick up another Penultimate Eye Liner as it's just the easiest way to create neat flicks at 6:30am in the morning. A couple of my friends have tried it and love it too. I always think it's great for beginners.

I had seen Kandee The Makeup Artist talking about how Soft Ocre is the best Paint Pot to buy, rather than Painterly as Soft Ocre is yellow based and is better for covering up redness on the eyelids and just brightening the eye area overall. I guess this makes sense since Painterly is more pink based. I will be trying this out soon to test the theory! I have heard so many people raving about Moisturecover Concealer that I finally caved in and got it. A review will follow in the coming days!

I always get so excited when I know I'm getting a MAC package in the post! Let's hope that next time the DHL guy refrains from trying to crush all my lovely products!

Have you experienced anything like this before?

FOTD: Rihanna Sunset/Ocean eyes

Stunning.

Weekend TV Roundup,The Nick Edition: Nick Verreos on E! Entertainment's The Soup and Current TV's InfoMania "That's Gay"!!!

Awards Madness...Gay is For Happy!Well, kids, I woke up yesterday with several emails and texts from friends telling me how they had seen me on a couple of shows over the weekend---the emails and texts were followed by a "You are so crazy Nick!". So, with that, I knew that it wasn't going to be pretty.

The first show was E! Entertainment's The Soup and I guess I was part of an "Academy Awards Segment" where footage of me screaming and QUEENING out on my last TV Guide Academy Awards Fashion Wrap was featured. Great. With the help of the INTERNETS, of course, I found the lovely footage.
Click below and make fun of me all you want :)---By the way, the "Nick Screaming" begins around 25 seconds into the video...Enjoy!


And finally, the other show I inadvertently became fodder for was a segment called "That's Gay" hosted by Bryan Safi on Current TV's infoMania. He does these really, really funny--and witty-- video montages--one of my current favorites is entitled "That's Gay, Johnny Weir" (of course!). Bryan's latest DOOZY of a video is called "That's Gay: Award Shows Are Gay" where he highlights how during Award Show Season (Golden Globes, Grammys, Oscars), EVERYONE needs a GAY...and yes, there I was again. Love you Bryan---

Skin MD Natural Discount

Hello my lovelies,

Recently I reviewed the Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion and if you missed it the review can be found here. Since the review I have been enjoying this lotion so much that it has made it into my handbag and become my go-to hand cream. I use it everyday, pretty much every time I wash my hands, and I absolutely love it.

Previously I had been using the LUSH Lemony Flutter cuticle butter, but I have decided it isn't very 'public friendly'. Not only does it take such a long time to sink in that I inevitably leave greasy marks everywhere (and often get locked in rooms as it is impossible to open doors), but the smell is so strong that I have noticed people inching away from me when I apply it on the tube. Shielding lotion, on the other hand (no pun intended), provides the same level of moisturisation, but in a light lotion formula that sinks in instantly and leaves my hands feeling soothed with a faint fresh, clean scent. No more greasy keyboards either ;). I can't recommend it highly enough!

As before the only problem I could find with the lotion was the price, especially as I slather it on multiple times a day I tend to go through it quickly. The lovely people at Skin MD natural sympathised and have kindly made another discount code for my beautiful readers, which will give you 20% off your purchase at www.skinmdnatural.com

The code is FFF and will be valid for 1 month from today.

If you try it out do let me know what you think! xxx
