The Best of Versace for H&M

The highly anticipated collection of Versace for H&M will be available in select countries on Nov. 17 and in the US on Nov. 19. A preview of the full collection can be viewed on h&m's website. I wanted to share my thoughts on the collection--at least the highlights of it.

I gravitate toward wearing fun bright colors, so I do appreciate that about the collection. For instance, these silk shift dresses are so lovely and very much on trend this season; they both retail $199:



I also LOVE wearing black. I don't think you can't go wrong in purchasing some if not all of the black pieces in the collection. They are very classic and timeless. Take a look at my faves:



If you are already planning on what to wear while celebrating this upcoming holiday season, here are some great options to consider:



Personally, these are on the top of my wish list:







Prints that are very iconic and reminiscent of the Versace pieces in the 90's, will also be available in this h&m line.

I am very fond of the silk scarves that retail $29.95:



Here are some other great accessories, these will add flare to any outfit:



What are your thoughts on the collection? Is it worth waiting in line for?

MAC Colour Craft Collection

This collection focuses on mineralized eye shadows, blushes, and skin-finishes. The eye shadows come in one compact with four colors as shown below and I personally love the poppy colors they used for this collection. Surprisingly in this collection there is a new brush that is a duo-fiber BLUSH brush. (Never seen that before). In the collection there is also a contour brush and a small tapered blending brush. (All very useful brushes). This very colorful summer collection is beautiful and is a must have for all you mineralize makeup lovers out there!

Bebe version of Stella McCartney Sandal

I just bought a pair of Bebe Mesh sandals $139, that are amazing! They are a replica of Stella McCartney Mesh Basket Sandals, that Mary Kate Olsen wore to the Tribeca Film Festival, those retail $995! Oh my! I ordered them online, the black and white colors went very quickly. Check Bebe.com for the teal color, or what is left! Here are some pics:

Extend the length of your lashes!

Say goodbye to annoying mascara. NovaLash offers lash extension that extends each indivisual lash, is bonded safely and securely with adhesive that is of surgical quality, and gives your lashes a natural full appearance. The price range is about $300, and can last for up to 6 months. Check for a salon in your area, at this website--> lashextensions

If thats not within your budget, you can opt for the second best thing.
I highly recommend shu uemura individual flare lashes. They retail $16 for a box at shuuemura with the glue sold separately for $8.50

Another option for lash extension is a more natural option: lash repair formulas. I have been researching this and I know of a few popular brands, such as peter thomas roth or enormous lash. I have decided to test out shu uemura's version. Lash repair, retail price: $22.00. I will keep you posted on my results in the following month!

What colors make your eye color Pop?

A lot of make up artists refer to the color wheel for inspiration on a look. You may have seen it before in an art class. It looks like this----->




*refer to the opposite color of your eye on the color wheel chart, since opposites always attract.


Using the right eyeshodow color can really enhance the color of your eye dramatically. Try it out for yourself.


If your eyes are brown:

Use a deep sapphire blue shadow, or eyeliner. Blue will bring out the golden flecks in your brown eyes.


If your eyes are blue:

Use a rich chocolate brown, or a bronze to bring out the shimmer in your blue eyes.

If your eyes are green:

Use shades of purple, since purple tones will enhance the yellow flecks usually found in green eyes.

If your eyes are hazel:

Use shades of green-- anything from moss to lime green to forest green. Green shades bring out the red undertones usually found in hazel eyes, and makes them look brighter.
