Fabulous nails

I have so much catching up to do but first things first...

Fab nails.  Fab bday girl.

HAPPY BDAY *M*!

Happy bunny day

Look what I have on.  Easter nails!

Seeing red

It's been never forever since I've liked red.  Actually, in first grade I liked red because I liked red gummi bears the most.

Essie was giving complimentary manicures for fashion week.  The ladies there were so nice and friendly!  Given the intense surroundings, they managed to provide an air of calm amongst the storm.  (See bloggers' pit below.)

All 3 are AMAZING (the fourth was essentially a nude called Sugar Daddy), but when I saw the "A-list" red I knew it was to be love at first sight.  The others were striking too - Sand Tropez (must find!) is a creamy beige with just a hint of grey and Luxedo a deep purplish black.  

Interesting fact from chatting to the Essie ladies: A-list is the most popular red worn on the red carpet!

Which brings me to the look of the week!  It's a color beginning with the letter R!

Another year another decade

Here we come here we go we gotta rock!

In honor of much to honor - birthday big 3-0, a new year, friends, family, winter denial, and one of my fave pieces ever - *the look this week will be my Cloak & Dagger kimono*
.
It's not a difficult piece to make, in fact, you will see below that it is essentially a rectangle.  Here's P literally asking about it.  How nice to have this photo handy.

However, the colors make the look.  Speaking of which, don't you love the colors A and I have got going on?  Post-snow storm, below freezing, you would never know.  That's the good thing about birthdays, once a year you can ask your friends to dress in a theme of your choice - winter denial sounds good to me.
