Welcoming Fall with a Manicure

My Dearest Beauties,

Inspired by one of my favorite J. Crew sweaters.

The dark shade is # 280 and for the light shade I used Fluo Magenta both from Dali of course.

What do you think of this classic nail color with a tiny twist?

Much love,

Samar

Leather Trend is Going Strong For Fall & Winter 2013

My Dearest Beauties,

We've seen leather going strong the past couple of seasons, and it seems like it is only getting stronger. You can always find at least one piece made of leather (other than the must have biker leather jacket) in almost all collections out there.

I can see why it is so loved! Leather makes you look fierce in an understated kind of way. You add edge without having to go crazy. Be careful though, because over doing might be too much. One leather piece in your outfit of a subtle and neutral color will make you stylish in a snap. I say, a subtle and neutral color because that is the best way to start, but if you already are on the band wagon then experiment, what's stopping you?

Below I will show you some of the picks I made from the lovely online shopping website Net-A-Porter. The captions under the images are direct links in case you want to see more details on the pieces.
