April, May or June ?

Definitely April.

I am talking about Chanel’s S2012 Le Vernis collection, April 533 that is, an intoxicating burgundy wine shade.

Prefect spring summer shade that is neither sickly sweet  nor OTT bold.  Just paint yours nails with this gorgeous shade and you’ll be ready to rock through SS2012.

Belle de Nuit

 Mischievous seductress

Bottega Veneta EDP

The eau de parfum that I was anticipating since mid year, from the house of Bottega.

A soft floral-leather-chypre. The composition includes notes of patchouli, oak moss, Italian bergamot, Indian jasmine sambac, Brazilian pink peppercorns and Indian patchouli.

The fragrance was envisioned by Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier, who ” wanted to capture the sun and warmth of a Venetian countryside house and its library full of leather books “.

A chic classic, IMO.

Fruity

 Simple, yet cheerful style under the sun

Goes on well with bright summer make up & fantastic tan.

Don’t forget about protection, be safe.

Earthy Beauty

Reconnect yourself with mother earth by wearing anything neutral & understated. Pastel beige & neutrals can be very alluring.

Prep your skin with an excellent tinted moisturiser,

Pamper your body with a touch of glimmer with shimmering body oil, preferably the one infused with gold……

 

Pixi Nude Shade Wardrobe is a nudist wet dream comes true !

Mademoiselle Noir

Smudged eyes with varied finishes, fluffy lashes, pale & understated lips, shimmery, well-oiled skin ……

Be the mistress of the night when you sensually combine the colour of black & gold.

Hitchcock

After Vanity Fair’s tribute, It’s now Bottega Veneta’s turn……

Bottega Veneta is one of my favourite fashion house as its productions are utterly understated yet chic & timeless. I need to get its trademark leather bag this year ( note to self ) before indulge in another brand like Chanel, Jimmy Choo, Mulberry.

I admire Alfred’s talent. What’s better than spending sometime enjoying Hitchcock’s films ? Especially with a cushion like this on your couch.

So the ultimate questions are ……

1) If you’re only allow to have 2 bags in 2011, which 2 are you going to have ?

2) What’s your favourite Hitchcock’s film ?

3) Anyone bought anything from Etsy before? What was your experience ?
