Essie Jazz - Taupe Tips

Looking for something beyond your basic pink, nude, and french mani'd tips for your big day? You might want to check out Essie's Jazz polish. It looks like a dirty grey brown in the bottle, kind of 'meh' and unassuming. I promise you, this polish is an amazing nude/taupe color that is all the rage right now. It is not as dark as some of the mushroom taupes we've been seeing and not totally nude. It is greyer and a shade darker then my medium skin but looks AMAZING on and makes my nails look pulled together without trying too hard with the taupe trend. It is also a great color for spring and summer whereas the darker putty taupes are best left behind for the cooler months.

Trial - Jill

It was so great meeting Jill! Such a sweetie and her most outstanding feature? Her piercing blue eyes! We went with a natural look for Jill using peach toned blush, a dirty pink lipstick, and accented bronze eyes. We finished the look with black mascara! Check out her before and after!

Going to the chapel in......Anthropologie!

Finally! Urban Outfitters has announced that they will be launching a new wedding line for their Anthropologie brand! The yet-to-be-named wedding collection will launch as an e-commerce site in Spring 2011 and offer bridal gowns, bridesmaids dresses, and bridal accessories for the dreamy, vintage obsessed, and always feminine woman. I'm picturing gowns with loads of texture with chiffon flowers and tiered ruffles, lace detailing, vintage silhouettes, colors ranging from tea stained ivories to the palest of pastels to creamy whites, and gowns without an ounce of structure. Anthropologie always has an air of naturalism and unabashed whimsy and cuteness and I have a feeling their wedding line will perfectly embody this current feeling. I think the prices of wedding line will just as expensive as their products today, but as a future bride, I would be willing to spend a bit more on a dress from them if it was for the big day! So get ready for Spring 2011 ladies!
