Crazy Nails!

Holy Cow! Look at these nails!! Both Rihanna and Katy Perry have gorgeous NEON nails (I am beyond obsessed with neon, I have to do a neon post soon!)

I lovelovelove the pink animal print nails. I'm not sure I could ever do that myself but they look luscious!

The silver nails have binary code on them...very...original? I wouldn't put that on my nails but it sure is different.

The bottom left nails are Katy Perry's 'royal wedding' nails...she someone managed to have stickers (?) of Prince William and his wife stuck on... talk about dedication to the British monarchy. Doesn't she live in the United States?

Last but not least, the bottom right image is...drum roll please...Lady Gaga's nails! Surprise, surprise, not. Not only are they insanely long, but it looks like she could cut up a thick steak with those things. Pairing the nails with that leather knuckle duster/instrument of death glove makes them look that much scarier. I have the ask the question...WHY?

The picture below is of my nails, NEON PINK! I did them myself, as you can tell, but I just had to show you guys seeing as I am a big fan of bold colours and statement pieces. What colour/pattern do you want on YOUR nails??

Latex & Rubber Clothing

At first glance, I'm pretty sure you were weary of this post because of it's name. But no! This is not a post about fetish clothing, it's a post about Jac Langheim. After perusing her Spring Summer 2011 collection, I am completely blown away by her creative use of these taboo materials. Take a good look at these pictures and tell me you don't feel the same way.

I think that Langheim's Spring Summer 2011 collection has managed to clean up the so-called 'dirty' perception of latex and rubber and turn it into something beautiful and sophisticated. I don't know about you but I would be proud to own both of the strapless dresses pictured above. While the clothing is form-fitting, the models don't look like they are suffocating! The black and cream dress (top set of pictures, middle picture) reminds me of snow white; it's absolutely gorgeous and very innocent. Let's just pretend we didn't already know this was a latex and rubber collection...would you have guessed?

Take a peek at the celebs below, they make latex and rubber look good without being too racy! Nice!

Spring 2011 Trend: Coral!

A really popular spring 2011 trend is the coral colour. This colour originates from coral reefs; it's a stunning reddish/pinkish orange hue that flatters every skin tone. Here are my 3 in-store favourites: 

Celeb Coral Roundup

First up: Kim Kardashian. She is wearing 2 different coral dresses. Kim's skin tone is different in both pictures (tanned vs. less tanned) and this colour still looks incredible on her. 

The top right picture is Selena Gomez wearing a beautiful coral goddess-style gown. This dress is more orange-y than Kim's but I still find that it makes Selena's skin glow. 

The bottom left picture is a coral lipstick. I love that this colour grabs everyone's attention; the fact that it is on her lips (one of a woman's sexiest body parts!) really adds to a her sex appeal. Meow!

I also love the coral scarf, another example of how to wear coral. Having a coral scarf is a great POP of colour to any outfit!

The bottom right picture is of Rachel Bilson wearing a coral cropped blazer. Work it, girl!

In addition, my friend Kim just walked into the office and showed off her yummy coral nail polish! I think it's time to visit my manicurist...hehe.

Jump on the coral bandwagon!

Spring 2011 Trend: Floral!

The best part about Spring is the WARDROBE (obviously) because all my flowers can come out to play. 

I love florals because they are 1. flattering (the attention is on the pattern, not your specific body parts) and 2. colourful. We all know how much I ADORE colour! For example, check out the rightmost picture of Vanessa Hudgens. Her dark brown hair, black shirt and black bag are contrasted beautifully with her bright skirt. My absolute favourite picture in this collage is the blonde girl wearing the colourful romper. The black background really makes the flowers POP! 

LiME is big into the floral trend right now; we have TONS of GORGEOUS floral tops. I actually just tried one of our really cute floral tube tops (also available in pink). I really like the ruffles in the chest area and the fact that the blue is so vivid. Also, the shirt has an open V at the back, super cool! Come visit us and check it out!

LiME's 2011 Oscar Fashion Report

Okay, I LOVE the red carpet!! There are always so many incredibly creative and colourful dresses to drool over!! Let's get down to business:

How classy did Reese look at the Oscars??? I swear, the moment I saw her Barbie popped into my head.  The dress, the hairstyle...I LOVE it. The contrasting black and white give this dress a little bit of oomph and I adore that she isn't decked out in jewelry. Less can be more!

Cate Blanchett's Givenchy Couture dress is phenomenal in my opinion. I feel like it is getting a lot of backlash because it's different and not the typical Oscar gown. I love that because the shoulders are structured and the rest of the dress is extremely feminine, the gown has a fearless yet elegant vibe to it. The purple beading is lovely and I even like the yellow beading at the top because it brings the attention from the design of the dress back up to her face. Big win for Cate!!!

What was Jennifer Hudson THINKING? A) I HATE orange dresses on the red carpet, blech...too clashy. B) I just dislike orange in general, I find it the least flatting colour. C) This dress is HUGE, she looks like she is going a ball and she was just a presenter. Sorry JHud, you look like a bright orange traffic cone to me.

Woah, is that Cruella de Vil? No! It's Sharon Stone! I'm practically at a loss for words... her eyeliner is all wrong for this occasion and her dress looks like she is wearing a dead animal on her shoulder. Anyone with me on this one? THUMBS DOWN

THIS IS HANDS DOWN MY FAVOURITE GOWN OF THE NIGHT!! Wowowow, Mila Kunis looks ravishing in her lilac Elie Saab dress. I am totally drooling over the lace tiering, lavender chiffon and understated waist ribbon. This is definitely one of her best colours. The dress isn't too sexy even though you can see some thigh-action. Also, even though the necklace is pretty low, she kept her 'girls' in check and they didn't overpower her. LOVE ITTTTT

What are your thoughts on my oscar picks? Hit or miss? Let me know if you have any other favourites!
