Weekly Favourites - Week 2, 2011

Hi all... Here's my weekly faves from the various online shops around the world. I still have that aching longing for Summer and it hasn't diminished since I have a cold at the moment. My throat is killing me and I can only eat/drink liquid food. It sucks! I always have a slight hope that whenever I'm ill I'll then loose a couple of pounds but it never seems to happen to me.
So I guess I should just concentrate on vitamins, vitamins and more vitamins.. And bad TV. How come TV is so boring during the day? There's absolutely no interesting things on and I fear that I may have lost some IQ points this morning. So when I'm back on my feet I need to do something to make up for that loss and try to gain a few IQ points back. Any suggestions?
Anyways, here's my pics created at Polywore and all pics are from the shops' new arrivals. Click the links to go to the webshops.

Colette

I'm currently reading a lot of Colette and thought I would post some pictures of her. Reading up on her really makes you stand in awe of this amazing woman so ahead of her time. I don't want to go into great detail here since its out on various Internet sites.



Quite funny to see the bulldog she has given a voice in some of her works

 



And the same goes for her cat, Kiki



I have also included some pictures of the images I get when reading her. I have a longing for Summer that is almost aching and when I read the parts of 'Sido' that was included in my anthology I started dreaming of bold colours, beautiful flowers and strawberries with cream. Oh, I miss Summer... *sigh*

Are you also longing for the Summer to arrive? Long breezy days under the lilacs with peach iced tea and vanilla ice cream.. And new potatoes with parsley and green peas fresh from the garden... And I could go on and on.. I don't know but Summer in Denmark to me is especially connected with the food of the season. There's some deep gratification of harvesting your own vegetables and fruits and preparing meals from them on the same day. The freshness and the pleasing thought that this is from your hard labour. I probably romanticizing it a lot but this is my nostalgic dream of the Danish Summer. Last year was quite wet so I hope we'll see a longer Summer this year. Preferably during my holiday..

Hi, I just saw this giveaway on Fashionpolish and its the Chanel Black Pearl!!! 

The Contest is open 'till Jan 15th and is open internationally.

Doesn't it look amazing? I'm looking for a dark edgy nail polish that isn't just black and this would be perfect! Oh to be in love.. *sigh*

Random Nail Polishes

During 2010 I think my biggest fashion fix on the daily basis was nail polish. I have never been that much of a trend follower when it comes to manicures but somehow that changed last year. I don't know whether its because I saw various ways to wear different colours and not just a soft pink or deep red or black. And sometimes I thought that for instance a yellow was too much on all ten fingers and then chickened out or something.. This changed however, when seeing how just little quirkyness was 'allowed'. So now I'm a dedicated nail polish girl and like to experiment with different colours together or grades of colour and so on and so forth. Here's some of my 'hands' from the past year, and if you want inspiration too try looking through The Notebook Doodles and the Danish blog Neglenymfer.

 Here's a deep red from an odd company which I can't remember and with Depend's orange. I was inspired by The Notebook Doodles' twisted tip.

 Here's a shimmering icy blue which I applyed like normal and then I added a pink zig zag which I teared with a napkin before it had dried completely. I think it looks quite awesome and will definately do this one again. To avoid annoyance on the rough surface I recommend a top coat or perhaps a ridge filler?

 My Christmas present from my big sister, Chanel's Jade Rose. Even though I have a lot of colours I didn't have anyone to those days when you want to wear nail polish but haven't got a more low key one - this is mine.. I think I used two coats here, and I really like the slight pink shimmer you can see in sunlight. Somehow it doesn't show indoors.

What I'm wearing now, Dior's Bubble Gum. I like it but sometimes it seems too neon but perhaps that's just me.

A way to use more of those colours that doesn't always go. Here's two shades of green. The palest is Barry M's jade-wannabe colour and the other is from a Tiger store (equivalent of a 99 cent store). I actually like this look and have also tried it with grays and pinks.

I know these aren't the best shots but my camera really has its own life sometimes and particularly when it comes to close-ups. I can't wait to get a new camera. I'm saving up for a good digital one, and I have my sight on a Canon but it is a bit pricey. However, I justify it with that I'm almost gonna use it until it falls to pieces. Just like shoes, you half the price everytime you wear them and after a while they have 'worn out' the cost. So when you think about it that way you are more likely to buy quality than quantity. I have that with bags and also increasingly on shoes. With nail polish I'd buy odd colours in cheap brands and the more neutral tones or the ones I use a lot in more expencive brands. But this year, I'm not to buy any new ones. My New Year resolution was no more shopping! I know, how on Earth did I come up with that? Seriously!? However, if I want that camera I need money, and I was stupid enough to go through my spending lists figuring out where all my money had gone.. It showed a pretty clear picture, so now I will at least try not to use money on shopping, books and cd's included.. Wish me luck!
