Lipstick Queen


I have been searching high and low for the perfect lipstick and needless to say, I found it! It is called Rose Sinner by Lipstick Queen and the color on my lips look like a deep rose color. The best thing about this color is it works perfectly for both day and night wear. The Lipstick Queen lipsticks come in two ranges Sinner and Saints. The Sinner range are the matte lipsticks made with 90% pigment and the Saints are the sheer lipsticks with a hint of color and is made with 10% pigment.

Rose Sinner reminds me of Vigée Le Brun's lip color in her self portrait (did i go too far with this? probably, but who cares i love this lipstick!)

I adore the Art Nouveau packaging.  http://www.lipstickqueen.com/

Epice of my Heart


I have a small collection of Epice scarves and this red floral number will fit right in with my collection. On another note aren't those Golden Goose biker boots perfectly cool?

Around the World

The Kiosk web store has been one of my favorite online shops for a while now. They have a knack of finding some of the best obscure objects from around the globe. At the moment Kiosk is featuring objects from Japan. It is their second selection of objects from Japan. Some of the items remind of things I would find at my Ojiichan's house in Japan. 

Here are some of my favorite items from past collections:

Coming Soon: MiH Jeans Online Shop





My favorite jean company MiH Jeans is going to open an online shop soon! I am so excited about the news. There are other online retailers which carry the line (JCrew is one of them), but they are either out of a style I want or do not carry a certain style. I have tried countless of brands (ACNE, AG, Current/Elliot, J Brand...the list goes on) and my MiH jeans have stood the test of time in terms of style and fit. I recently bought the Roadtrip style and I love them! If you sign up with MiH Jeans you will get the 20% discount code when the online shop opens. Did I mention Jane Birkin was a fan of the original MiH jeans back in the 70's.

Supermarket Thrills



  

I don't know about you, but I enjoy grocery shopping. It could get a little mundane at times and a bit hectic with a toddler who is asking for every other item she eyes, but I always get excited when the new issue of Vogue is out or when I find a new favorite moisturizer. The best part of course is the food! Cowgirl Creamery's  Mt TAM triple cream cheese (YUM!) and my favorite jams by Bonne Maman (you have to try their new grape jelly...so good).

Support System

Lingerie is usually the last clothing item i think about, but i am in love with my newest bra from Cosabella. It is has the softest cups and at the same time it is supportive. The lace detail is also a plus, because it hides the cleavage when i wear some of my low cut silk blouses. I have been wearing the bra in the strapless style and it does come with detachable straps.

Un café, s'il vous plaît!

It has been a bit of a hectic and tiring week, and all I can think about is my next cup of coffee. I have a much beloved espresso maker, but I am missing a coffee drip machine. My machine died a couple years ago and I still have not found a replacement until now. Hopefully, Santa will give me the Moccamaster it is really all I want for Christmas.
