Operation Essie

December 6th, 2008

I’ve long been a fan of Essie nail polish, which is why when Kat, from their PR department, offered to send me the new Winter 2008 collection, I couldn’t have been more excited. Wrapped up in a little box were shimmery golds, candy apple reds and deep purple polishes that are both festive and sultry. I went with the classic Bold and Beautiful on my toes and the dark Damsel in Distress for my fingers and then ran around Beverly Hills on yet another uncharacteristically warm Saturday.

Forever 21 Top and Striped Skirt (enlarge for true pattern), Timex Watch, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag, Urban Outfitters Gladiators

Once again, only you could pull off Gladiator sandals. They pretty much make most people look horrible, but you look so cute!

I have those gladiator sandals from Urban and I adore them! You are so lucky to be in such great weather. Unfortunately, the Windy City is already covered in snow and nearing single digit temperatures. xo

Love the polishes. I am a big O.P.I girl, but I know Essie is really good as well. Oh and P.S. you have SUCH a way of making F21 clothes look pricey! Quite a feat, especially when combining top and bottom. How do you do it? Pointers please, because when I walk in to this store, and get lost in all the crap and miss all the jewels you capture! You look gawwgeous.
