OPI for Sephora

It'll be a quick post tonight because I've got an early doctor's appointment in the morning. I've added some more pictures to my lookbook since yesterday. I really loved all of the Boy by Band of Outsiders clothes, so if anyone wants  to buy me early birthday/Christmast presents, that collection would be great.

I do want to rave about the Sephora by OPI polish. I bought two bottles this past week because of the great color selection. Right now I'm wearing Run With It! on my nails, which is a a really beautiful neutral with an an edge and works surprisingly well with fair skin. I've also got Meet for Drinks on my toes. It reads as a metallic purple against my skin, which is great for fall. While the colors are fantastic (I'm dying to try Metro Chic once it's back in stock - in the meantime I'll be using You Don't Know Jacques! as a substitute), it's the longevity of the polish that amazes me. I usually get chips in my polish within the first eight hours of giving myself a manicure, but I've had this polish on for going on five days without a chip in my tips or toes. I used my regular base and topcoats, so it seems that this polish is a good one. Is anyone else using this polish? Did anyone get their hands on Metro Chic? Let me know what your thoughts on this polish is.

P.S. Congrats to Rumi over at Fashion Toast for her amazing Fashion Week luck! Erin Wasson for RVCA party, Alexander Wang's show, and then being featured on the Sartorialist... what awesome luck!

NY Fashion Week

This season, I'm doing something different. Instead of describing all of the things that I've been lusting over, I'm going to start a lookbook on style.com. If you're interested in checking out what's looking good to me this season, you can search for gumdropsdaily under public lookbooks.

As far as things I'm seeing this season:

-While the models are still mostly white, it seems like I'm seeing a few more models of colors on the runway this season. I'm hoping that this will continue as the major names start their shows and into Europe.

-I'm seeing more rompers and jumpsuits on the runway. Did these really sell well enough to make them worth showing again this season?

-Colors are back! Yay! Things seem to be either brightly colored or black/grey and white/cream. Very few pastels (except for at Erin Featherston) or the neutrals we saw last season.

-Blazers and leather jackets are the new cardigans. Blazers are worn with the sleeves pushed up towards the elbows. Leather jackets are shrunken bombers instead of the biker jackets that we saw in the fall.

-Big, chunky, sternum-length necklaces are all over the place.

I'll be back tomorrow with more reports. Enjoy!

It's About Damn Time

Ladies and gentlemen, I am BAAAACK!

And just in time for fashion week... how lucky are you?

I'll be back tomorrow with official reporting - mark your calendar.

Taking a break

So my computer is fried and I'm forced to rely on computers at the public library right now, which means that I'll be back up and running as soon as I can! I promise to return as soon as I have a reliable, PERSONAL computer, so keep checking back periodically. In the meantime, check out some of the links on my page for other good reads!
