{ BEYOND: nail tattoos }

{ photo credit: http://instagram.com/meadowlarkjewellery }

its been a while, but these cooler fall evenings call for some blogging! (and i also blame it on being on my pinterest page all summer!) but when i came across Beyond by Rad Nails, i had to write a post about it!

just when you think how can they reinvent the wheel on nail art, Rad Nails brings it one step further... by extending the artwork to your cuticles! Essentially, its "an easy way to accent your nail art with easy-to-apply temporary cuticle tattoos". I'm sold, and they look amazing with any nail colour and they can even been applied directly on your nails (if the lower regions are still too adventurous for some!)

these amazing illustrations created by chilean artist fabian ciraolo combine celebrity icons and famous artists with a rock and roll edge. never have these icons looked so badass, and it would be so cool to see them on the street today covered in tattoos and wearing band t's!

{ NARS + andy warhol collection }

                                   

being a mod girl at heart with an obsession for andy warhol, i fell in love with the new holiday collection by NARS. inspired by the bright colours of warhol's paintings, to the muses that he admired the collection is a mix of pop art fun and 1960s seduction.  the promo video for the collection really embodies the spirit of warhol's factory studio, including the use of jana, the designer (pictured above) who has a striking resemblance to his "it girl" eddie sedgwick. all photos are from NARS cosmetics.ca

                                                                                                                     

       

{ melting pot }

whenever i see something from my childhood appear years later, a feeling of nostalgic bliss takes over me.  but when i saw sabine ducasse's amazing garments created with of perler craft beads, my emotions went into overdrive.  the 2012 collection called melting pot is an amazing eclectic combination of shape and colour.
