Wishlist Wednesday

LOVE this fur vest! I have seen a lot of vests on the market that are way too much fur - I would look like an actual animal if I wore it. Ella Moss has always been one of my favorite designers, so it's no surprise that she has made the perfect fur vest.

Product Review: MAC vs Store Brand Makeup Wipes

I have been using MAC's makeup removing wipes for a few years now and love. They smell great, are big enough to get my (sometimes) intense eye makeup off, and are a fairly reasonable price. However, not too long ago I had run out and didn't have time to swing by a mall to pick up a new pack. I was at the grocery store and bought the store brand to hold me until I had time to visit MAC. Awful idea.

The store brand was dry and it took a lot of work to get all my makeup off, not to mention my eyes hurt after rubbing so hard. The smell wasn't bad, but it also wasn't as pleasent as MAC's. Overall, if I HAVE to choose another brand to tide me over, it certainly won't be a store brand, perhaps the Pond's version...

Trend: Corduroys

While not a trend I fully endorse, it is a trend nevertheless. I do own one pair of cords, however, they are black and look more like black pants than cords (they have very thin lines). This season's silhouettes are much more refined and wearable. I particularly like the idea of cord jeggings...so easy to slip boots over! Here are a few looks that are worth grabbing if you're into this trend...

Rag & Bone skinny corduroy pants, $165
Paige Denim corduroy jeans, $148
J Brand corduroy pants, $230
Current/Elliott skinny leg jeans, $188

Sunday Inspiration

I love the popped collar and sleeves pushed up...adds just the right amount of flare to a basic trench!

Glamping

Glamping = glamorous camping. And no, apparently this isn't an oxymoron. A new phenomenon is luxury camping, and it has quite the following. This past summer a friend of mine spent the night in a tent, under the stars, on her wedding night. I thought she had lost it! Unfortunately I was unable to attend, so I did not see her setup, but she assured me, it was much like what is now termed "glamping."

I first read an article on CNN which features sites all over the world where you can "rough it in style." Although it still didn't interest me enough to want to camp (why would you want to pretend you're homeless?!) but it intrigued me enough to google this new found saying. I couldn't believe how big this  apparently was - there is even a blog dedicated to this subject.

Are you a camper? If not, would this be something you'd be up for?

Gucci: Firenze 1921

Gucci is celebrating 90 years of crafting iconic pieces and have developed the 1921 Collection to commemorate this milestone. Who What Wear walked through the creation of the New Bamboo Bag (pictured above), and the photos are amazing. It's so interesting to see how each handbag is made; if you want to check it out, click here. As well, below are some of my favorites from the collection.
