l'inspiration









these are some photos that i found on magazine junkie
that were featured in the 2007 september issue of vogue.
these pictures were beautifully taken by steven meisel.
i love the warm neutrals mixed with the darker antique-like fabrics
mixed with a bit of the old hollywood.
this makes me want to slip on a (faux) fur coat and head to paris.

in the nude


i absolutely hate my hands. i have these lovely dainty wrists then these stubbish hands. my nails are average length and for the past year i've been obsessing over a rainbow of dark nail varnishes that i thought looked amazing on. despite what the trendy color may be, i've recently discovered (with the help of constant nagging from my mother) that my nails need a lighter color. i found this great nude nail polish in my collection from beyond perfect by sally hansen. it contains proteins for healthy strong nails, not to mention it makes my fingers look longer. i've got the color in spa sandlewood, but i'm not sure how long i've had it because i can't seen to locate it online. here are some of my nude polish pics for those of you who want the appearance of longer, daintier fingers.
