Essie - Da Bush - Review

I found a bunch Essie nail polishes on sale at Myer so I grabbed 2 mini sets of 4 as well as a couple of full sized ones (which you will see in a later post). A bit risky considering I'd never tried Essie nail polishes before but with all the great reviews around and great reputation, it was a pretty safe bet =).

Da Bush is from Essie's Resort Collection 2011. I got this in a mini size with 3 others in a set. It's a pale greyish green creme. It requires 2 coats to be opaque. Excuse the scratches and air bubbles on my nails, I painted them while I was half asleep and fell asleep while they were still a bit wet lol.


Have a good weekend!

Pre-Christmas Shopping

Sales started much earlier this year unlike previous years which normally start on Boxing Day (26th December). Focussing on Christmas shopping was definitely difficult when I was tempted by so many things for myself. Anyway, I did a bit of outlet and sales shopping before Christmas and this is what bought: (I will be doing a post with my post Christmas purchases soon.)

Zu





I needed some nude pumps so when I came across these, especially since they were so heavily discounted, I grabbed them in a heartbeat. They are a bit on the tan side and are simply good basics. I have never owned any Zu shoes but from my limited experience, I find their sizes to run on the smaller side and are more suitable for people with narrow to normal feet. I have wide feet and I've only worn these around my bedroom so far, but I got to say, these are pretty darn uncomfortable lol.




I never really got into the brogue trend. But after seeing my sister and best friend wearing them a lot, it started to grow on me. So I thought some basic black ones would be a good place to start.

Bardot



I don't know what it is about shirts, but show me anything with a collar and odds are I will like it lol. Add to that my favourite colour, pink, and you've got a winner. Hot pink was definitely one of he trendy colours this season, but for some reason I found a lot of hot pink clothes to look a bit tacky. But I absolutely love the shade of this top along with the black contrast.


Love the colour, cut and fit of this blazer. So vibrant and fun.

Sportsgirl



I have a thing for geometric patterns and prints. I also thought the cut of this top was also fairly unique with the exposed shoulders and the little sleeves attached to the sides.
Forever New



I find this clutch to be unique in so many ways. There's the woven straw-like body, the gold detailing and the brown marble edging. So in a way it's a statement clutch but the colours and tones still keep it subtle. It's a great size to fit all your outting essentials.

Bye Bye 2011

This is a little late but better late than never...

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

I hope you all are enjoying your holidays. 2011 was great, let's make 2012 amazing.

My boyfriend gave my family and I this cake as an early Christmas gift. So cute and delicious!
