LA FEMME NOIR

Happy Sunday mes amies, hope you are nice and cozy.   This weekend marked our first snowfall (well in my area at least) its hard to believe its come so early.  It is week till December just yet! However it is never too early for a style share, thus thought you might enjoy a peek at my favourite cozy enesmble.  I always gravitate towards chic and simple turtle-neck sweater dresses such as this black Wolford one, as the weather begins to chill this holiday season!  It is indeed the perfect LBD companion for any cold winter's day to keep you warm, cozy, and chic. 

Bonne Nuit!

KISSABLE ROSE LIPS

Happy Sunday mes amies hope you are nice and cozy with someone dear to you!  Time is moving so quickly these days as it is hard to believe November is nearly finished, and soon it will be 2013.  

Before we think so far ahead lets enjoy the moment, and if you are with someone special soon, I recommend trying the following luscious lips combination for a sumptuous pout!

Step One: 

Line your lips with a Chanel Le Crayon Levres in the shade Rose Corail. After which apply some

             Burt's Bees lip chap to ensure you lips are well moisturised. 

Step Two:

Apply Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in shade 66 Confidentielle to your lips and finish with a Chanel

            Rouge Allure lip gloss in shade 67 Caprice.  Be sure to blot the access off with a tissue and voilà 

            you have some lovely and luscious kissable rose lips. 

Shall I demonstrate this colour combination?

EFFORTLESS ELEGANCE

Shorts in winter can be made elegant yet effortless when paired with simple black opaque tights and heels. 

I adore these chic navy blue check Chanel shorts with the couture element of hand sewn clear sequins. The shorts are quite dressy but if you pair them with a simple t-shirt, such as the blue pima cotton Eli Tahari one shown below, they become quite casual and chic!  Please ladies always remember to opt for black or navy opaque tights with shorts, as the look becomes OTT (over the top) if paired with patterned or nude stockings (especially with heels)!

For your viewing pleasure a little Chanel and more!
