Fashion Week Wish List- Givenchy Iris Print Skirt

Any fashion lover has the wish list . And each season we see more that we add to that list. We have just that season's wish list. Fall always gives me a big list . Add to that having the wonderful opportunity to attend fashion week and you get the fashion week wish list . In other words, what you would most want to wear there. That's a whole separate category.

 This Iris print skirt from Givenchy is my most wished for  to wear to fashion week next month.  I am skirt person vs. dresses and this just hits all the buttons.  Pair it with a simple black top  and off you go.

Nails Inc St. John's Wood & Farrington Gold Crackle

St. John's Wood is my favorite of the Nails Inc shades I've tried so far. It's also a shade I didn't have in the stash, a  deep periwinkle.  It shows a little more blue in the  picture but it really is periwinkle . I did 2 coats here and I did 2 as thats's what I usually do, but  Nails Inc is pigmented enough for 1 coat.
I did the tips with Farrington Crackle Top Coat  which has converted me to the Crackle finish. I've tried some before but  dark shades . Farrington looks like gold leaf and I love it. I think it makes  a perfect mix with the  St. John's Wood periwinkle. I've had fun with this mani this week. ( Sephora color swatch  shown below, which shows more purple).

Nails Inc is now at  Sephora.com  as well as http://www.nailsinc.com/
 and are 9.50 each.

Charlotte Casiraghi Covers French Vogue

Finally someone has put Charlotte Casiraghi on a magazine cover. She  gets the coveted September issue no less, of French Vogue.

Personally I think she's one of the most stunning ladies on the planet.  She has Princess Grace of Monaco for a grandmother and Princess Caroline for a mother and has inherited the best of their ( impressive in the beauty realm) genes  and seemingly no bad ones . She's a bit more made up  here than we usually see her  , since she tends for a more natural look and well when you're that pretty you can. I hope someone publishes the inside pages soon, so far we just have the cover shot.

Up until  recently she's kept a fairly low profile , concentrating on being an equestrienne and hitting the occasional couture show ( Caroline wanted her kids raised out of the paparazzi's eyes. ) Now she could conquer the world if she chose.

( I also secretly thought she and Prince William would have been THE match. Those Grimaldis are a bit wild for the Brits but would they have made a  stunning couple or what? )
