Finally! My Zoya Order

After what seemed like forever, my Zoya polishes arrived last Friday. I originally blogged about them here, way back on January 5th. I'm sure shipping isn't normally that painfully slow, but the promotion they had going on backed up the process. This is my hope anyway.

L to R: Valerie, Pinta, Demi, Edyta, LC.

I wore the bright reddened coral, LC, all weekend and was very pleased with the smooth formula, opacity, and wear. I have tested each color out and two coats provide the hue that is seen in the bottle. I've read rave reviews on many blogs and now I understand why. Dare I say these are superior to OPI, Essie, China Glaze, and Sephora by OPI? Yup! You bet they are. My only complaint is that I have to order Zoya online. I wish they were more easily accessible.  But, good thing they aren't because otherwise I would have another addiction on my hands ;)

Have you tried Zoya?

Spots and Stripes

Cardigan - Express, Blouse - Zara, Jeans - Banana Republic, Clutch - Jessica Simpson, Heels - Zara, Rose Gold Ring - Ariella Collection (Nordstrom), Necklace - Lisa Taubes 17 inch Rose Gold Chain (Lorraine Stanick)

In doing these weekly outfit pictures for the blog, I have come to the realizations that:
1) I wear jeans about 99% of the time in Winter. Reason? Pale legs (which I actually don't mind as much as I used to). And the fact that once you stumble upon that elusive perfect pair, you don't want to take them off. Ever.
2) My style is quite simple. I love girls who love to follow the latest trends and who never seem to fear anything in fashion. I however like simplicity. I've made enough mistakes to know what works for me and what doesn't. I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone as often as I can, but I'll never tire of classic lines and shapes.
3) I really don't like posing for the camera this way. I keep asking boyfriend to take pictures, but so far it hasn't happened.
4) Neutrals are my best friends.
5) I'm obsessed with stripes. Polka dots are sure to follow this Spring.

On another maddening note, the YSL Lapis Arty I ordered has been cancelled! It isn't in stock anymore, and I am furious! Yes, I am being overly dramatic. It's not the end of the world. The hunt is on, Readers. It's on.

Happy Friday!
