Announcing OPI’s New ‘Disney’s Oz The Great and Powerful’ Range

OPI has just announced the launch of six limited edition nail lacquers and a new Liquid Sand™ shade, inspired by Disney’s Oz The Great and Powerful.

Last night I went to see the new Hansel & Gretel movie (which by the way was AMAZE!) and I saw the preview trailer for Disney’s ‘Oz The Great and Powerful’ which looked so whimsical & adorable that I’m now super excited to get my hands on this new OPI range. This highly anticipated film opens in theatres on March 8, 2013 – at which time the new OPI range will be in store.

This SoftShades collection captures the whimsy seen in the film, from glittery shades packed with white, gold and silvery iridescent confetti – “Lights of Emerald City, When Monkeys Fly! and Which is Witch?” – to soft neutrals in white, beige and pink – “Don’t Burst My Bubble, Glints of Glinda and I Theodora You”. The new Liquid Sand nail lacquer – “What Wizardry is This?” – features a textured, matte finish infused with reflective sparkle.

Here’s a breakdown and sneak peek of the entire new range:

Lights of Emerald City

White confetti adds city girl flair and style to nails.

Don’t Burst My Bubble

Don’t wake me…I’m dreaming about puffy clouds of white.

When Monkeys Fly!

I’m simply bananas for this gold confetti.

Glints of Glinda

Only a good witch could turn beige from meek to chic.

Which is Witch?

Is this silver glitter with iridescent sparkle or the other way around?

I Theodora You

This adorable, sheer pink is bewitching on you.

This limited edition OPI range will be available beginning March.

Autumn 2013 Preview – The Warehouse

Last week Gurlinterrupted attended The Warehouse Autumn Fashion Preview at Freeman & Grey in Ponsonby, which showcased some exciting new brands you will start seeing in-store as of today. I have to say, I was more than I little surprised (in a good way) with the new season collection and there are A LOT of pieces that I intend to purchase so that I’m Autumn/Winter ready.

Speaking of their new brands – Chloe & Cate, Debut and D.O.T feature some stunning fashion & accessory items (designer style sans the high-end price tag). The fashion, jewellery, shoes and bags are perfectly on-trend. You are going to LOVE their new gear!!

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the exciting new pieces arriving in-store from today…

Loving this Tania Tote Bag by Chloe and Cate; and its only $79 – the perfect winter tan tote

Top 3 Bright Bold Lipsticks

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you will have undoubtedly noticed the current ‘bright lipstick’ trend (it’s pretty hard to miss) and for those of you that aren’t too keen on a pop of colour on your lips, I’m sorry to say….. it’s not going away any time soon!! Makeup artists, magazines and runways are loving it, so it’s here to stay. There’s certainly a lot of ‘bright lip blogger challenges’ currently trending and over the last couple of months I’ve had a few messages asking what my favourite bright and bold lip colours are. So I figured rather just feature the standard ‘shot of lipsticks laying on a tray’ I would show you my top 3 bright wearable lipsticks (I’ve listed the rest of the makeup I’m wearing further below).

1. L’Oreal Intense Color Riche Lipstick in Magnetic Coral

2. Maybelline COLORSensational Lipstick in Hot Plum (My absolute favourite of the 3)

3. Maybelline COLORsensational Lipstick in Electric Orange

So, these are my top 3 bright and bold lip colours – TAG, YOU’RE IT. Let me know which hot pop of colour lipstick shades you’re currently loving.

Makeup Overview.
Garnier Dark Spot Corrector
L’Oreal NUDE Magique BB Cream
Maybelline COLOSSAL Cat Eyes Mascara in ‘Glam Black’
L’Oreal Color Riche LeSmoky Eyeliner Pencil (and smudger) in ‘Mystic Grey’

Fairy Feet

OK, how the heck have I lived without these up until now?!

I could not have come across this genius idea ‘fairyfeet’ at a better time (it’s been a busy week). If you are anything like me you are a girl on the go and love your heels. But my goodness this is hard work when you are literally running across town between runway shows, PR meetings and other various events; and let me tell you, it’s hard work teetering around in our much-loved HIGH heels for 8+ hours a day. Enter FAIRY FEET…

Admittedly I had kind of got this concept down where I would (if bag size allowed) chuck some ballet flats in my bag to wear in-between events, but it was never really ideal (kinda embarrassing to put your bag down and have shoes sitting right there for all to see) and although they were the smallest of my shoes, it’s still a hassle having to carry around a spare pair [ahhhh the clutch trend – basically an envelope used as a bag, does not make for a shoe carrier]. This is where fairyfeet is perfect, they’ve enclosed super comfy little foldable ballet flats into a cute little purse.

Those that know me well will know I have a hard and fast rule ‘it is NEVER ok to kick your heels off and hold them like they’re a party favour – ever!’. Thus, fairyfeet are my new FAVOURITE item in my handbag. These clever little gems come in a variety of gorgeous colours and are an absolute bargain at $14.95, so there’s no excuse to go bare-foot! I’ve had mine for a little over a week now and have used them several times already and every time I put them on I think the same thing, ‘what the heck did I do before I had fairyfeet?’.

I have the black pair, but I intend to get the Vintage Rose *swoon*, silver and gold – a colour for every occasion.

Head over to fairyfeet to purchase online. SUPER handy and a total steal at $14.95.

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!!)

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.
