Winter Time is Here

Winter Time is here and the warm and fuzzy fashion is town. Faux fur boots. Suede Leather jackets. Sexy knits. Riots of autumn and winter colours on the shelves. Scarves and mittens flying. Hats galore.

It's a lovely time of year with the festive holidays and lots of parties to go to, each must have a different outfit. So lots of great shopping to do and excuses to have around.

Joyeaux Noel!

Nail Colour

I found my latest favourite nail colour. It is called "Gladioli" by Essie. It's a pinkish nude colour with an opal finish and just sheer enough to see the with tips of your nails giving the illusion of a natural french manicure at the price of a regular manicure.

On the toes, I got "St Lucia Lilac" also by Essie. They don't quite tickle me pink like Gladioli. As a matter of fact, I'm of the opinion they paint me gray. hhhmmm.

Lipstick

I've been looking for the longest time to get just the right icy pink glossy look. I still have not found it. I was first turned onto the look by Laurie Dhue when she was reporting on the bombings in Iraq. Since then, I've searched high and far to duplicate her look but to no avail.

Nevertheless, I've decided to switch altogether and find a rich glossy red, which I found. I first tried the Maybelline Wetshine lipstick in Cranberry Wave, which is nice, but it just doesn't have that high glossy shine that's been the rave these days. I did find the answer in a Neutrogena Moisture Shine gloss in Flirt. I also tried out the same gloss in Tickled. I doesn't have as much colour but it certainly gives you the glossy look.

Look of the Govenor

I hope everyone watched the Arnold's acceptance speech for govenor, because that's a good lesson on suits. His suite created an excellent effect of making him look like the man for the job. He certainly didn't look like the Terminator or like he did on the twins. The simple black suit toned down that fact that he's former Mr. Universe and gave him an All-American look. He didn't look intimidating, rather he looked fatherly and inviting. He looked like he could get the job done and wants from the bottom of his heart to make Cal-ee-fohnia the best state of the best country in the world!
