Dior presents: Pret-A-Porter

Dior-Pret-A-PorterA few days ago I gave you a teaser post as to what is coming for Dior’s Prêt-À-Porter Autumn-Winter 2014-2015 launch.

Dior-fall-polishesI thought I’d share my favourite out of the collection, first. The nail polishes.

Dior-Rose-TutuRose Tutu is a perfect shade to slowly bring one into the colder months. It still has a bit of summer colour throughout it, yet would be great for those who don’t think they can pull off darker colours.

Dior-Pied-De-PoulePied-De-Poule is a colour I was a bit leary of when I first laid eyes on it. I can’t wait to show you how it swatches.

Dior--BarBar is an easy to wear, simple black polish that requires two coats to be completely opaque and glossy. Who will be rocking black nails this Autumn?

Dior-MassaiMassï makes a reappearance from early spring, I thought it’d best be suited for an Autumn-Winter collection than Spring/Summer. This colour on your finger nails would look fantastic sitting in a coffee shop, bundled up, simply people watching or chatting with your girlfriends.

Dior-Carre-BleuCarré Bleu is a beautiful shade of navy that looks creamy and rich on the nail.

Dior-lined-up-polishesRegardless of what I’m doing, or how long the nail polish last, my nails are always painted. They don’t always stay in pristine condition due to me rock climbing all the time (taking a resting period now, due to my finger injury) so my nails have grown significantly fast in the last few weeks of rest, which conveniently makes for prettier nail polish swatches.

Any colours stick out to you? Which colour would you paint your nails?

What I Wore to BlogHer’14: The Blue Dress

BlogHer14-Blue-DressI saved this batch of photos for last, because they weren’t taken on anything fancy. These are straight from my BlackBerry Z10, hence the difference in quality from Jessica‘s photos. I still wanted to feature them because this dress received so much attention from people at the blogging conference, and on the blog as soon as I featured it on my BlogHer recap.

Oh this blue dress. I recently purchased it at Anthropologie for the cost of a couple of limbs. Anthro is my favourite store to shop at, but I try not to go inside too often because I want everything I see, and I cannot afford 90% of the things for sale there, except for things on major clearance. Regardless of that, I picked up this dress and immediately had buyers remorse. I left the tags on until the day I wore it, on the final day of BlogHer’14. My oh my, I have to be honest, I have never received so many compliments on an article of clothing I’ve worn. Ever. It made me feel like a million bucks. Women were asking where I got it, some were complimenting my legs (ooo, thanks!), and a man or two stared which boosted the ol’ ego.
