Well, another year is upon us, and I have decided to resurrect my blog. Part of this inspiration comes from the influence of my friend Fashion Devotion - check out her blog- and part of it is my new year's resolution to get back involved in the world of fashion I miss so much. I even found myself waxing nostaligic on working the cosmetics sales floor during the holiday season.
But anyway, I'm baaaaaaa-aaaack! And ready to blog for 2010! So with that...
Lapin a la Mode Picks du Jour:
- Invest in a Burberry coat for winter. You won't regret it. I have two, and not only are they incredibly warm, but I have one that has weathered three winters and still looks brand new. The best way to score a good deal on a Burberry coat is to either pick one up at the end of season sales, or to visit one of their many outlet stores. You can find many a classic Burberry trench coat at the outlet stores as well. Coats like these are classic pieces that never go out of style.
- Keep your lips well hydrated- winter is definitely chapped lips season! My personal favorite products are Lancome's Primordiale Lip (which also has anti-aging properties) and Elizabeth Arden's 8 Hour Lip Tints.
- Jean leggings are awesome. I have been searching for years to find the perfect pair of skinny jeans, however most of them do not conform properly to my figure. I discovered a pair of denim leggings at Uniqlo. Not only do they have an amazing fit for practically everyone, they look and feel like jeans when you are wearing them, and they only cost me about 20 euros, making them by far my cheapest denim purchase EVER.
- If you want to add a little sparkle to your eyes, Lancome released a limited edition of their Oscillation mascara in both gold and silver sparkle. This mascara goes on like a top coat, and adds a subtle glitter to your lashes. It was a hit for me at all of the holiday parties I attended.
- Want to indulge yourself without breaking your New Year's resolution of weight loss? Try any of the delicious Philosophy foaming shower gels. They are delightfully decadent (with flavors such as Red Velvet Cake, Belgian Waffles, Coconut Frosting, and Double Rich Hot Cocoa) without any caloric intake!
- As always, click the photo for more information on the products. :-)
In a previous post, I mentioned Benabar and the French style of storytelling through song. I now have another of these songs stuck in my head by the new artist Charlotte Marin. Even if you do not speak a lick of French, you will probably be able to relate to Charlotte's Boire ou Bien se Conduire (which translates to "To drink or to behave").
And with that, me and my cute new Dior moon boots (best early christmas present ever!) are going to walk on down to check out the soldes in my neighborhood. Deuxieme demarque should hit Thursday! Woo!
A bientot!
