Christian Louboutin’s spring 2015 “Python Vulcano Limited Edition Nail Colour Coffret” contains three, beautiful hues for the warm weather season. The three colors include, Salonu, Hot Chick, and True Blue. These beautiful nail colors can be used together to create nail art, or worn separately on their own. Either way, Christian Louboutin’s spring 2015 nail polish collection offers everything you need in a box for the spring season. Love that!

The thin brushes on Christain Louboutin’s nail polishes are ideal for nail art. If you are like me and you like to wear a solid color, they are a little bit cumbersome and difficult to manage. The long stem of the brush makes the painting tool unbalanced. If you don’t mind a little bit of a hassle while you paint your nails, then the result is worth the effort. Christian Louboutin’s nail polish is fabulous. It offers stunning color and it is long lasting. It also does not use toxic ingredients which can seep through your nails into your blood stream. Love that!

Since blue is my favorite color, I was excited to test out True Blue by Christian Louboutin from the spring 2015 collection. This beautiful blue hue offers a remarkable cobalt blue color. It is about one to two shades darker than medium blue, and it captures the essences of cobalt blue and also royal blue perfectly. True Blue by Christian Louboutin teeters between the cold and warm spectrum of color. This makes it an easy color to wear with both cool and warm color tones. Easy to match anything I wear = LOVE!

I tested out Christian Louboutin True Blue nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The nail polish lasted for eight days before chipping! I absolutely adore this shade of blue, and I look forward to wearing Christian Louboutin True Blue nail polish this spring 2015 season.

Molton Brown body wash review

Molton Brown’s collection of bath and shower gels offer beautiful scents infused into a luxurious gel which is moisturizing, and gets you squeaky clean. Love that!

I use Molton Brown’s bath and shower gel every morning when I take a shower. Every time I use up a bottle, I always find a new scent to buy for my replacement bottle. It is entirely possible I have used every scent Molton Brown produces!

Now that my kids are in elementary school, it has become easier to travel with them. This means I have had to keep a good stock of travel bath products on hand for weekend getaways by car, and air-travel. My go-to brand for travel toiletries has become Molton Brown. They have everything I need in travel sizes! My favorite travel kit is this one, it has my daily shampoo and conditioner from home, but in travel sizes! The kit also has two shower gel bottles which smell fantastic. It is the ideal travel kit!

Molton Brown’s travel kits are also ideal for gift giving. The kits come in either a beautiful gift box, or travel bag. This makes the gift presentation as fabulous as the products themselves. Love that!

As we head into warmer weather, why not try out a new, fresh scent for your shower from Molton Brown! Here are a few of my favorites from Molton Brown. Also, be sure to check out MoltonBrown.com for the entire collection!

Mara Hoffman fall 2015 New York Fashion Week

Mara Hoffman sent her fall / winter 2015 / 2016 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on Saturday, February 14, 2015. The cool weather collection was a fresh take on Mara Hoffman’s classic style; offering a new color palette, and silhouettes with traditional Mara Hoffman prints and texture. Loved it!

Mara Hoffman showed soft neutrals, calm colors, and prints on her fall 2015 runway. A move away from bright colors and complicated prints, the collection offered the same travel inspired vibe we come to expect from Hoffman; with a fresh twist. Hemlines were long and fabrics were flowing. Texture was soft and noticeable; while maintaining an understated look. This collection was more street worthy than previous collections we have seen from Mara Hoffman’s.

Her overall past collections instantly take you away to an exotic location; making many of her clothing perfect for vacations, travel, beach days, and pool parties. For fall 2015, Mara Hoffman’s collection is still travel inspiring, but it can also be easily worn on the street; making it her most versatile collection yet! Love!

I was instantly drawn to her neutral prints and flowing fabrics. Her cozy knits evoke feelings of romantic walks on the beach during cool fall evenings or mornings; yet offer the option to walk off the beach and into a neighborhood eatery for dinner or brunch.
