Dream Catcher Earrings...........................

If you haven't gotten the memo yet, we are in the age of accessories. Accessories can take a plain outfit to new heights.So if you don't have a lot of money to buy the latest trends, you can buy new accessories to make the old clothes look new. One thing that I love to do is repeat old outfits and just switch out the accessories. These Dream Catcher earrings could make a nun look fashion forward. Personally I think these earrings would look amazing with a side fish tail braid, jean cutoff shorts, off the shoulder top and some funky sandals.

If interested in these dream catcher pieces made by Charlotte local designer, you can find them exclusively at:

Chanel New Boy Bag Collection for Fall 2011

Do you want to know the upcoming fashion trends for Fall 2011? Read the rest of this entry.

For the upcoming Fall 2011, Chanel launches a new collection of bags. The new collection is called "Boy Chanel". According to Karl Lagerfeld, “Coco Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel”.

Chanel's new boy bag collection includes clutches, purses, and totes and ranges from $2500 to $4300. If you're interested to have one of these bags, you should wait until September 2011.

Chanel summer make-up 2011

Oh how I do like summer collections. And especially if Chanel comes out with a product called Mimosa! (Bellini next year?) Here's what I got:

I was desperate to get my hands on the nail colours - but to be honest, they're not worth the hype. Mimosa is a tremendously happy colour but it's difficult to apply, hence the rather sloppy manicure. Morning Rose is cute, it makes me think of candy, but I prefer Chanel's Pêche Nacrée from the spring collection (see pictures below to compare). And Beige Pétale is nothing special - so far I've used it once, applying just one coat to the nails (and no base/top coat) for a barely-there look when I didn't have the time to do a colourful manicure.

Summer collection: Beige Pétale, Morning Rose, Mimosa

Mimosa (summer), Morning Rose (summer), Pêche Nacrée (spring collection)

The blush-bronzers are really pretty and my favourite of the collection. I originally picked up the pink one, but then went back for the coral one. These give a soft glow to the cheeks and are perfect for summer.

Bronze Rose, Bronze Corail

Officially, I'm not into lip glosses anymore and especially not Chanel glosses because the two I had about six years ago leaked and I had to throw them out. But there was one gloss in this collection that I kept on picking up and admiring - always the same one - so I finally gave in. Glossimer 277 (Pensée) is non-glittery, it only has tiny gold sparkles (none of the outrageous blue, red, silver glitter). It is so pretty...
