Beauty Notes: Chanel Peridot

If you buy one nail polish this season, make it Chanel's Peridot. It is part of a trio of sparkly colors, but in my opinion stands out as one of the most unique colors you will ever own. A beetle like tone with golden, rust and greenish mix. You simply have to try it. Beats getting your nails minxed! Ever since I got my hands on it, I have been wearing it everyday. There has been waiting lists for this shade and its already sold out in most department stores so good luck in finding one. WORTH IT

Backpackin' is the new way to go!

Back Packs are undoubtably a new trend that's been popular with celebs and the cool fash bloggies! One of the designers who caught up on this is Alexander Wang; the master of street cool.

Princess RiRi looks ultra cool in her dress (which you can get your hands on at Blush Boutique, order it now from their group HERE) But behold that gorgeous Chanel Backpack she is carrying. I am green with envy!! Need this bag right now.

Styling with N: The Ultimate Summer Vacation Guide part 1: Poolside Glamour

Vacations at last, we are all certainly enjoying ours, whether its a city vacation or a beach vacation, i have put together a list of the must haves! From beauty products right down to the heels. This is your ultimate fashion guide to a stylish getaway! The first look is Poolside glamour, whether lounging by the pool in st. Tropez or hitting up a beach party in Ibiza this look has Glam written all over!

Sunglasses: Linda Farrow Luxe

Hat: Eugenia Kim

Bangle: Alexis Bittar

Nail Polish: Chanel 'Riviera' Summer 2010 collection

Bag: Fendi Straw totw

Kaftan: Missoni available at Net-a-Porter

Sandals: Musa available atNet-a-Porter

Necklace: Stephen Dweck available at SAKS FifthAvenue

• If there was one ultimate summer essential , it would have to be a Kaftan, you can dress it in so many ways on your vacation. As a cover up, with sandals for a beach party. It could also be transitioned into night by adding some heels and accessories! This Missoni Kaftan is a statement, a signature pattern of the brand. The bows on the side are a gorgeous update on the classic Missoni versions. Very youthful.
• While i prefer flip flops when i go swimming, if you're having a Glam moment by the pool, where most of the time is spent in the shade sipping pina coladas ;) I prefer going up a notch with casual chic sandals like the one shown above from Musa. Comfortable yet chic.
• Accessories here are not only for style purposes, they also serve to shield your face from too much sun, this beach straw hat screams glamour and so does the oversized vintage-like shades shown.
• I would keep Jewelry simple, a statement necklace in a summery turqouise tone, i usually don't like Turqouise alone, so this necklace combines in with strands of golden for a cooler edgier look.
• A straw bag is also a must-own, you'll find it a go to in all of your vacations. This Fendi Version is my ultimate fav. The 1st runner ups are Emilio Pucci beach bags and Balenciaga straw bags with their signature golden hardware.
• Last but so not least, make sure you have perfectly pedicured and manicured nails. With this look i prefer a classic colour but with a twist. This colour by Chanel is the perfect striking pink!

Clogging!

Miu Miu Bird Print Clog

Jeffrey Campbell  'Charli C' clogs

So unless you were living in the sand for the past few months then you probably know about the clog invasion! We first saw them on the runways of Chanel and Miu Miu and brushed them off as ugly little things, but ever since you couldn't open one fashion mag or blog and not see them on the feet of trendsetters. I have to admit i caved in strongly to this trend. Unfortunately i was too late to get my hands on the super cute Miu Miu bird print clogs which i am seriously obsessing over now (I mean come on they just make you happy by looking at them) ! Nor will i splurge on the Chanel ones (because i know its a very seasonal trend). Many high street brands have introduced their version of the clog but for me the ultimate must have are the Charlie C blogs by Jeffrey Campbell, they are the hottest pair now, snapped up by almost every self proclaimed fashionista. I don't know any stores that sell them but you can order yours online from Singer22 or Shopbop!
