The Goldfinger Mani

Sometimes 10 fingers of the same color, no matter how brilliant the hue, gets boring.  I've been really into doing an accent nail this summer--just a random pop of a contrasting color. For this mani, I chose a metallic gold polish topped with gold glitter polish as my accent nail.  I painted the other nails orange, but any other bright would work just as well.  To tie in the accent nail to the rest of my fingers, I finished each hand off with a topcoat of gold glitter polish.

The result: a vibrant summer manicure!

Lanvin Fall 2011 Campaign Video

Raquel & Karen, two of my faves

I have neglected the blog for an eternity now due to a major impending event that has taken over my life...my wedding!  I'll be doing a wedding preview post soon to show you what I've been working on for the past several months.

Until then, you'll have to be satisfied with this lazy post of Lanvin's fall campaign video.  I have been captivated by Lanvin's glamorous ads that have been gracing the pages of my fall fashion mags.  Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann look like they were born to wear Lanvin for this campaign!  When I discovered this video, I was amazed to see that there was a choreographed dance routine behind all of the synchronized posing in the campaign images.  Added bonus--the elusive designer, Alber Elbaz himself makes an appearance at the end.  J'adore Lanvin.
