OPI Fall Collection 12'

As we settle into Fall, the time has come to give up our neon and pastel nails for richer, darker colors. OPI has partnered up with the James Bond franchise to being us nail polish feens some fabulous new polishes and even an 18k gold tip coat. Yes ladies, gold for your nails.

First off is the Skyfall 007 Collection featuring 12 new polishes ranging from glitters to deep purples. I am absolutely obsessed with these colors. Especially "The Living Daylights", I just need that multi glitter polish on my fingers like yesterday. 



I have to say my favorites are: Tomorrow Never Dies, The Living Daylights, Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me and The World Is Not Enough.

You can find these polishes at any nail supply store for $8.50 a bottle or try eBay/Amazon to score these babies for a great deal.

Next up we have the super awesome Magnetic Holiday Lacquers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of James Bond. Each one these come with its own unique magnetizer to create striped, diamond or wavy patterns. 

Bond...James Bond is a gold shimmer that makes a diamond magnet
Is That Silva? is a metallic silver shimmer that leaves a striped magnetic behind
Morning, MoneyPenny is a rich burgundy which leaves lovely waves. 





And lastly we have the ever so fabulous 18K Gold Top Coat 'The Man With The Golden Gun'! Now even though the price is a little much, $30, I cannot pass up the opportunity to have gold flecks all over my fall manis and then brag about it. Call me superficial, whatever, every girl loves gold and this girl likes it on her nails. You can score this little bottle on eBay or Amazon as well for a good price, you just have to search. 



Overall I love the new James Bond partnership and all the new polished. Would I buy every single one? No. A few? Hell yes. What do you think of the new polishes?

Style Week Resort Miami : DAY 3!


Well Style Week Resort Miami has finally come to a close and I bring you the final recap of the last three shows! This day proved to be the best of the three. With the last show bringing a new twist to the ol' runway show technique and not to mention we got a nice swag bag to take home. 


So as always, my outfit for the last night!


Sheer Floral Pants : Forever 21. Top : Forever 21. Bag : Micheal Kohrs. Studded Heels : Wild @ Bakers. 

And now let's get started with the first show of the night. This was the line of Project Runway contestant Janeane Marie. I had high hopes for this line, but it only made me yawn with boredom. The color choice was boring and bland with only black, white, beige and ONE teal piece. Her pieces proved to be just as boring as the colors. With flowy shorts and skirts, a weird peplum piece and lots of short tops it was something that's been done before and nothing orignal. The line also consisted of only 8 pieces. The only thing I liked about this line was an outfit that consisted of some gold flowy shorts. 




Up next, we had Jonathan Joseph Peter's line who was also a contestant on Project Runway. The whole line consisted on teals, oranges, white and yellow. There was tons of lace and the jewelry was gorgeous! The only thing I didn't like was the weird flower print and the outfit choices for men looked like something you'd see the trapeze people wearing at Circus Soleil. There was also this skirt that reminded me of my grandma's drapes, but the top and jewelry on the outfit were on point. Overall an okay line, very few pieces as well. 






Last but not least, we had Alessandra Gold's line. I expected crazy and tacky outfits from what I'd been hearing, but let me say that her show blowed me away. It was fun, upbeat with bright, bold pieces. Not to mention her runway show came with a surprise dance routine which was beyond words. Her line is dedicated to the urban street warriors and it included neons, fringe, tribal patterns and metallics. Her show line was to die for. Alessandra isn't your typical fashion line, but it's different and her vision translated into her show. 






Well that's all for this Style Week. I'm relaxing as much as possible because in 2 short days I begin none other then Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim 2013 and it's a crazy, tiring week! Stay tuned for recaps of all the shows and parties. Until next time my fashion disciples! 


What line was your favorite?

Style Week Resort Miami: DAY 2!

Buonasera mi amores! I'm back with day 2 of Style Week Resort Miami and as Day 2 came to a close, I was as tired as ever but I could truly say I really enjoyed all three shows. Each designer was on point with their trends and the colors we saw we're just gorgeous. Oh!, & this time I was able to sit front row at the shows so the pics are 100% better!


Now, like last time, first things first. My outfit for Day 2 of Style Week Resort Miami



Earrings: Electric Boutique. Dress: Saks Fifth Ave . Wedges: TJ Maxx. Bag: Micheal Kors. Jewelry: By Me <3

And once again here is my lovely team and I !






Some backstage madness & fooling around!


Nina Cortes From Project Accessory!




And now.....drumroll please! The reviews! First off we had designer Amanda Perna with her 2013 line.This girl put all the right colors in her collection. The colors were absolutely beautiful. Each piece of clothing had such motion to it and I loved that about it. There was tons of sheer add ons and color/print blocking. Her prints were just adorable and the pleats she used took me back to the 20s. Overall her whole line was spot on with the trends and something I would love to add to my closet. Thumbs up for Amanda! 




Up next we had Tess Johnson's line. Now as much as I loved the line for the most part, it was a very hit or miss show. Either I loved the piece or I hated it. Not to mention that it had about 9 pieces in total, not enough to get a feel for her design technique. The paisley print I was obsessed with, as well as some of the colors she used, but the rhinestones had to go. Overall some cute pieces I'd wear, like this amazing sheer dress I could see myself rocking on a yacht sipping champagne. 




And lastly we have Jessica Abernelhy's line! I loved her line! Again very few pieces like the previous line, so not a lot to look at but what I did see gave me a 1950s feel. Lots of polka dots and mid drift tops. It had a total resort feel. The colors were bright and fun and the prints were gorgeous. A great line just needs more pieces! 


Well loves, that's all for Day 2! I'm off to the last and final day of Style Week Resort Miami! Which designers' line was your favorite this time?
