LE SPECS SKY GAZER

This season Le Specs boldly goes where no lens has gone before. Drawing inspiration from all things intergalactic, designer Hamish Tame takes dark and digital references and fuses them into a harmonious capsule for Sky Gazer.

The shadowy hues of empty space lend themselves to the collection’s dramatic colour palette. Deep purple, steel greys and charcoal black are given depth and texture with matte, metallic and crystal-clear acetate treatments. Referencing the reflective surface of astronaut visors, bold bright mirror-effect and oil-slick lenses sit in stark contrast against the stone-cold toned, tactile frames.

Silhouettes are clean in the form of round, angular and aviator styles while tough, hard-edged shapes give a nod to 1950’s sci-fi.

Le Specs further extends its international presence to over 30 countries worldwide and has attracted the attention of high-profile fans including Rihanna, Olivia Wilde and Miranda Kerr.

The Le Specs Sky Gazer collection is available in-stores now or you can visit them online Le Specs.

M·A·C Archie’s Girls Collection

Betty and Veronica – the names alone are a vivid four-colour flashback to an era of sweet, comic book innocence. Their eternal love triangle, with all-American freckle-faced Archie, is legendary in its teen tension, tight sweaters and two-toned saddle shoe charm. Girl-next-door blonde Betty vs. vivacious, spoiled rich-girl, brunette Veronica, an epic rivalry, now in two contrasting M·A·C colour collections, packaged in exclusively designed cases.

I can’t event begin to explain how excited I am about this range. When I first heard about the M·A·C ‘Archie’s Girls’ Collection around 4 months ago I didn’t know how I would make it through until it’s release this February. Of all the MAC collections, ‘Archie’s Girls’ holds a very special place in my heart. As an avid Archie/Betty & Veronica reader, from around 8 years of age & right throughout my early teens, I hung on every word I read (albeit, they were comics so clearly not a hard read) and would flick through the same comic time and time again just adoring the fashion of Betty and Veronica (admittedly, more Veronica than Betty) awaiting the following Sunday when a new edition was released – I would even colour in their outfits to suit how I envisioned they should look. I still have my entire Archie/Betty & Veronica comic book collection to this day and that collection literally contains hundreds of well-read and much adored comics (don’t judge me) and now I have this new MAC line to obsess over.

Take a look at the BEAUTIFUL new M·A·C Archie’s Girls collection… (I must own ALL of it!!)

I Made You This Mixtape…

So today my friends and I were enjoying a lovely chilled out ‘Sunday Session’ by the beach, for which I had prepared a playlist consisting of some of my favourite tracks. After several ‘ooh who sings this?’, ‘what’s this song called?’, ‘can you send me this playlist?’ remarks, I thought to myself “hmmm, maybe I should create a playlist to share with all of you lovelies”. I hope this playlist gives you all some music inspiration, jogs your memory with some long forgotten ‘oldies but goodies’, or maybe there’s even some artists in here that you haven’t yet discovered that you will soon come to love as much as I do.

Stand Out In Glassons…

Models walked a petal-strewn runway at the Coatesville Rose Factory this week to showcase Glassons’ first ever runway preview show ‘Stand Out Glassons’.

Guests arrived by coach and were greeted by the delightful treats of caterers Little and Friday. Soon after arriving, models rocked the runway to live music – an amalgamation of muso’s brought together by Zara Mirkin. Including members of The Rackets, The Checks and other musical geniuses.

Glassons new Creative Director Adam Bryce certainly made his mark with his forward thinking, aptly named new Glassons campaign – STAND OUT GLASSONS!!

The ‘stand out’ campaign stories presented were Sheer Romance, Off Duty, Rustic Wanderlust and Wild Flower. Key themes that shone through for Autumn/Winter 2013 – varsity & faux leather jackets, ample denim, lace dresses, anoraks and flannelette check shirts.

Check out the photo highlights from the ‘Stand Out’ Glassons Preview Runway Show event…

Available in-store from today onwards (new pieces arriving daily).

Meadowlark Stacker Rings

In an extension of their ever-popular Stacker Rings series, Meadowlark has released a new edition for Autumn/Winter 13.

From geometric to whimsical, this collection is full of playful symbols that are suggestions rather than statements: a delicate Protea blossom, a tiny anchor that won’t way you down, a twinkling little star, a wee diamond that proves size isn’t everything.

Linking back flawlessly to the previous editions of charms as necklaces, bracelets and stud earrings, these versatile Stacker Rings in silver and gold are perfect to wear on their own for subtle adornment or stacked for more drama – either with the seven-piece stacker ring set or in a playful trio, grouped to tell your own tale.

The new Stacker Rings are available for pre-order now online at www.meadowlarkjewellery.com and will arrive in-store early February 2013 to key MEADOWLARK stockists New Zealand wide.

LUSH – Emotional Brilliance Makeup

How adorable is this new line of cosmetics by Lush?! Clearly I’m a marketer’s dream, because the Lush Emotional Brilliance new makeup line had me at their gorgeous packaging, reminiscent of vintage apothecary vials.

Now I have to say right from the get go, I haven’t actually tried anything from this new line yet, so I’m unable to review and give you my honest feedback on anything yet, however I promise that the moment I get some in my hot little hands I will blog my findings on them straightaway. Being the Lush junkie that I am, I was perusing the Lush Times Summer Issue for new bath bombs (there’s no point having a bath without Lush bath bombs) and that’s when I saw this swoon-worthy line of Emotional Brilliance Lush Cosmetics… Here’s a little run down on what it’s all about…

Spin the Emotional Brilliance Color Wheel to get a personalized color reading (link below), choose the three colors that stand out the most and they will uncover certain words that reveal a little bit about your current state of mind. Then wear the color to match your ‘emotional brilliance’!

This range – consisting of lip colours, eyeliners and eyeshadows, is less about wearing make-up that’s in-season or on-trend and more about wearing colours that shape your mood. Emotional Brilliance is a way to wear colour that’s designed for you. Choose colours, each with a corresponding word such as Confident, Glamorous or Ambition, and they will be significant to your needs at that time – wear those colours and you truly wear the word.

It’s the power of suggestion – if one believes enough in something, there will likely be a change in behavior.

LUSH EMOTIONAL BRILLIANCE – SPIN THE WHEEL

K-Mart: Floral Sandals

Introducing The Bobbi Brown PINK & RED Collection…

I’ve just checked out the new Bobbi Brown Pink & Red Collection and it is truly divine!

With this collection, Bobbi Brown took an unconventional approach to the season’s traditional colour palette. The Red & Pink Collection isn’t about matching your lips, cheeks and nails. It’s about deliberately mismatching. In the words of Bobbi Brown herself “I love pink and red worn together – it’s a very modern mix (and perfect for Valentines’ Day)”.

Check out some of the amazing products and colours from this collection:

Limited Edition
SHEER COLOR CHEEK TINT
Nothing makes a woman look prettier than a pop of blush. Bobbi’s Sheer Color Cheek Tint gives cheeks a tint of healthy, natural-looking colour. The translucent, lightweight formula glides on smoothly and blends evenly onto skin. Bonus: it’s packaged in a chic, swivel-up stick for easy,
on-the-go application. For a just-been-kissed look, apply Sheer Color Cheek Tint to the apples of the cheeks and blend down and back towards the hairline using fingers. Shades: Sheer Pink and Sheer Cherry.

New and Limited Edition
CREAMY MATTE LIP COLOR
Creamy Matte Lip Color is a unique matte lipstick formula that combines the look of a classic matte lip with incredible wearability. Creamy, moisturizing and highly pigmented, it glides comfortably onto lips, but feels extremely lightweight. Extremely high concentration of pigments delivers true color that lasts for up to 8 hours. Shades: Hot (New) and Heart.

New and Limited Edition Shades
SHEER LIP GLOSS
This lip gloss formula is super sheer and wearable. The translucent finish makes bold color easily wearable and is designed to enhance lips. Wear it on its own for sheer color or swipe it on top of lipstick for extra shine. Shades: Cherry (New) and Pretty in Pink.

Limited Edition
NAIL POLISH
Use color on the nails as an accent or accessory. A splash of these new nail colors on fingers and toes completes any look and fits any mood. Shades: Pink Valentine and Valentine Red.

I picked myself up the ‘Valentine Red’ nail polish and ‘Pretty In Pink’ lip gloss – soooo pretty!!

If you haven’t seen this über cool collection yet, head in to your local Bobbi Brown stockist and check it out. (if you are based in Auckland, I recommend the Bobbi Brown store in Britomart).
