#manicurethursday 24 carat Gold #christmas countdown #22

On my countdown to Christmas I'm getting festive and sparkly with my nail colours... today I've opted for OPI Fiji Weejee Fawn as a neutral pearlised base, and then added sparkle in the form of Deborah Lippmann's Boom Boom Pow... I LOVE this Gold Sparkle nail colour! It includes different sizes of Gold shimmer and glitter but it's far from tacky... Instead, it gives a luxe extravagant lacquered glaze and it houses actual 24 carat Gold!!! Yes, it really is that luxe... I've finished with my Seche Clear Crystal Top Coat for intense shine.

Decleor's Christmas Pomander!!!

Eeek ! Christmas is here!!! Okay so I know I've been away for quite some time now and I find myself blogging less in this busy period but the little Christmas Stocking I recieved from Decleor is just what I needed to remind me it's CHRISTMAS!!!

This isn't any ordinary bauble btw... no no... this is a precious Gold gleaming bauble that houses Decleor's signature Madagascar scent and can be hung anywhere in the home/bedroom for decor too - or the christmas tree if you wish! It has a stunning cut-work Gold Leaf, is embossed with delicate Gold leaves and has two silky ribbons intwined with a glistening chain allowing it to be hung on wardrobes, door handles for a festive glimmer and beautiful long-lasting scent!

The Decleor Pomander is available to purchase online too at Decleor.co.uk and makes a fabulous little gift over Christmas and the New Year! Thank you Decleor and to the Beauty Seen PR girls! xx

Eleven Paris Celebrate Joy Division with all proceeds going to MDF...

A little while back I was invited to join Eleven Paris at Notting Hill boutique Village Bicycle to celebrate their T-shirt designed especially to pay tribute to Joy Division and their contribution to the music industry over the years... It was a great night and I thank Eleven Paris for inviting us down - guests included Cara Delevingne (Burberry girl otm!), Jade Jagger, Zara Martin, The Felder sisters and Tyrone Wood! Here's a taster of the T-shirt and goodies we all recieved...

The T-shirt is currently on sale at the Village Bicycle Boutique in Notting Hill, with all proceeds going to MDF, The Bipolar Organisation... so a great reason to buy darlings!

Style Crush: SJP & Alexa Chung... Tres Chic!*

I'm not a huge fan of Alexa Chung's style... but she has got it so right here! Dressed in a Burberry Military Jacket and Dress, Alexa mixed a quintessential British look with Metallic stacked wedges for a spin of current glamour and belted the outfit to add shape. Navy, Black and Gold... Tres Chic I say!!

Sarah Jessica Parker kept her full skirted gown by Olivier Theyskens for Theory simple - set against a chic updo, sparkling diamonds, and minimal accessories... The best way to work such a fabulous Gown!

Numero #129... Magique!

Greg Kadel has captured Karlie Kloss with fiery Red locks for the Dec/Jan 2011-12 cover of Numero #129... Styled by Elizabeth Sulcer, Karlie dons a deep Chocolate Brown ensemble with lashings of fur and a play of textures - I love the rich tones in the outfit and her hair that work brilliantly together!
