This Season's Nail Polish Colours - The Right Colour For Your Skin

Everybody loves nail polish! And this season's colours are essential! Check out these trendy metallic shades:

 
Revlon Steel Her Heart (right) is a perfect fit for fair skin, whereas Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Black Platinum (left) looks great with beige skin because it has a blue-y undertone.



Borghese Nail Lacquer in Stellare Notte is great for girlies with olive skin. (left) It is a really great deep purple colour. Topshop makes great colours, one of which looks especially good with golden skin: Gypsy Night. (right) The picture doesn't show it, but it has orange sparkles!





















Dior Vernis in Black Sequins is pure magic when paired with bronze skin. CND Copper Chrome is my choice for deep skin.

Chanel Watches

If you look at any magazine these days they are plastered with ads for Chanel J12 white ceramic watches. Don't waste $10,000 on the beautiful watch! I know, I know! It's hard to resist! Trust me, it's on my wish list.
Here is a $30 alternative to the Chanel watch. I know, it's not white! But it's really comfy to wear. :)

Another bargain! I'll update on whether or not it's an instant hit! ;)
You can get this watch at shopnbc.com. It's on sale for $21!

Michael Kors

I'm happy. And I'll tell you why: I got Michael Kors sandals! All of the long minutes, hours, and days that I have spent gazing at anything with a Michael Kors label in every possible shoestore from Winners to Nordstrom has paid off! On shoes.com the sandals that I wanted were selling for $52 USD. But they don't call me The Bargain Hunter for nothing! I found them at a little shoe store out of the way in a small little town for 32 bucks. I think that's pretty good. And that's not the best part. I looked at my mom, with my little doe eyes, and begged her to buy me these other sandals that were twice as much. Then, I showed her the other ones that I planned to buy and whaddya know! She bought them for me! It's just like in the good old days when all I wanted was a goldfish, so I'd start out by asking for a pony.

So basically, those amazingly comfy sandals (because of the cork) were free. And my name has changed from The Bargain Hunter to The Mischevious Daughter.

This picture gives the cute MK charm a little more justice:
Now that I have reached one of my very few life goals, the only one left (aside from being a life-saving doctor that wears Christian Louboutins and Chanel watches to work) is to see Lady Gaga in concert...

Humanity For All Bracelets

I'm sure many of you who live in Canada have heard of these! They sell them at blue ruby and countless other stores. They're made in many colors and different designs. I have a teal wraparound bracelet with crystals that everyone compliments me on!
They also make cuffs that are to die for! I almost bought the navy one the other day but I'm broke!
Again, a new trend!

My Newest Jewelery Obsession

Okay, so with my first blog post I thought I'd show you some jewelery that I LOVE right now...
I think this is really cute! I love clock necklaces because everyone seems to think they're either really futuristic like the Marc Jacobs one shown above, or very vintage, like this one from Torrid. Apparently, this is the newest trend, although I haven't seen anybody wearing them...
