OOTD : the 10 $ dress

OOTD : Sometimes, you browse the alleys of your grocery shop and between the broccolis and carrots you find that :

You do NOT find this incredibly sexy women in her seducing 30ies but you DO find pieces of outfit that will soon end up being published in a blog.

A nice little black dress for 10 $...The material looks shiny in the pic because of the flash but in reality it's a matte fabric very stretchy and incredibly comfortable.

I love the way it drapes over the knee : good job, Joe Fresh !

Then here is a DIY necklace (done by mum, thank you, mummy !) : she used those little balls that you throw through blowguns at birthday parties when a kid. She put those in a tube of fancy fabric ... et voilà !!!

Caro-sometimes a little black dress is all you need xxx

PS : nails on the 2nd pic are courtesy of Stormy (Revlon) : a true 3-day-wear (no chip, just a little tip wear....goooooooooooooooood !)

Someone's garbage ...

can be someone' s treasure !

I received a box of old jewelry from a friend who wanted to get rid of it. I found this big pink funny necklace. I saw a big multicolored necklace at Banana's republic a few weeks ago and I resisted because it was indecently pricey for a plastic beaded necklace. I guess this "free" one fed my craving for color ! I wore it over a very conservative black blouse with a pencil skirt and it gave a nice "crazy" twist to my outfit

I paired it with wooden earrings : same family color....

This bag of unloved jewelry has found a good home. I don't think I am gonna throw a single thing away....

Have a wonderful week end, lovelies. I am a working girl this week end (9-17 Saturday and Sunday...)

Pigment story part III : Greed !

Greed is sampled in my give away so I wanted you to see it in person ;-))). I paired it with Humid from Mac to do a soft smokey eye. I used Jade smoothliner from Annabelle on waterline and to darken the outer V.

JOTD : a necklace that I did myself...and random earrings from LE CHATEAU....

I'll be MIA for a week from today so don't worry if you don't here from me !

Have a wonderful week my lovelies !

A nymphet with golden locks...and JOTD

I am into poetry tonight ;-)

Eyes :
TFSI as a primer
NYX milk as a base color
Dazzlelight (MAC) all over the lid
Vanilla (MAC) as an highlight
Nymphet (Annabelle) as a main lid color
Twinks (MAC) to give some depth in the outer V
Rich Ground (MAC) as an eyeliner (AKA the golden locks)
Revlon double Twist : mascara

JOTD : again an artist from Montreal Stella. I have a fantastic necklace that goes with the earings but the pic was yellow and crappy so I tossed it !

I hope you had a wonderful start in the week
