What do you think? Do you have a favorite pre-fall 2014 handbag?


Flatforms for summer 2014

Flatforms are summer 2014’s flat sandal alternative. Not to be confused with platform sandals, flatforms are roughly 1″ high without any pitch; adding a little bit of height and comfort without looking like a complete platform shoe.

Flatform sandals are great for casual days in summer 2014. The overall look of the shoe is not appropriate for the office; they are perfect for weekends, casual days and general comfort! Flatform sandals make a great alternative to the Birkenstock trend since they tend to have more fashion-forward style than the traditional comfort shoe.

Designers such as Fendi and Prada are showing flatforms for summer 2014, and many lower priced brands have followed suit. Since this is the beginning of the flatform trend, it is likely that flatforms will continue into 2015; making them a good investment for summer 2014.

I found a few fabulous flatforms around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉


Chanel Tutti Frutti nail polish for summer 2014 review

Chanel Tutti Frutti nail polish is an orange-pink nail polish hue from Chanel’s summer 2014 beauty collection. This playful nail polish color is perfect for sunny summer days. Tutti Frutti’s cheery hue is ideal for having fun with color this summer season. Chanel Tutti Frutti nail polish plays well with shades of pink, red, orange and yellow. It is a warm hue which will lend itself well to hot summer days in July and August.

I tested out Chanel Tutti Frutti nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. Tutti Frutti by Chanel is great alternative to orange this summer season if you are looking for a warm nail polish color but the orange nail polish trend isn’t your style.

Chanel Tutti Frutti nail polish can be found online here, here and here.
