Nice Nails You Got There...

Hello readers!

I know that the nail art obsession has been around for a while now (FASHION Magazine even has their own Nail Corner), but I thought, it's never too late to blog about something that is still current and still pretty.

I wish that I had the patience to do nail art of my own, but a) I tend to break my nails ALL the time and b) I smudge them too.  I either need to go looking for some super-fast drying nail polishes, or I need to dedicate time to doing nothing else but sitting still.

That said, I've come across a few masters of this art and really wanted to share some of my favourites.  Obviously, my collection of favourites is far greater than the few I post here.  It would be impossible to share them all, but this provides an excellent opportunity to go hunting for your own.

And to end things off, I wanted to feature one of my favourite nail art tutorials by the wonderful AndreasChoice.

Despite my handicap, I encourage you to try a new design!  Happy painting!

P.S.  Been seeing a lot of neon nails recently and they remind me of summer.  YAY SUMMER.

The Pyjama Trend

Pyjamas.  They're cute.  I sleep in them.  I lounge around in them.  That's about the extent of my experience.

But thanks to designers like Stella McCartney, they're showing up on runways and at celeb-worthy special events.  I'm apprehensive about wearing pyjama-styled outfits myself anywhere past my doorstep, but at the same time, the silky, relaxed appearance makes me think that this style can be pulled off elegantly if done right.

Recently, Rihanna stepped out for the Japan Battleship premiere, sporting not only a new hairdo, but also an amazing Emilio Pucci pyjama suit.

I think she looked gorgeous and liked in particular that she paired the outfit with tan sandals.  I would have expected gold or bronze, but the tan worked quite nicely I think.

Looking at a capture of just the jacket, I think Emilio Pucci's design would look equally as stunning (and definitely more wearable) if it was paired with a dark bottom.  Works both ways actually; the pant looks like it could also be elegant and stylish with a tucked in, simple tank or blouse.

Rihanna's style is becoming more and more impressive.  Can't wait to see what trend she sports next.
