Costello Tagliapietra showed their fall/winter 2015/2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on February 12, 2015 at The Pavillion in Lincoln Center. It was an incredible show featuring dark, traditional autumn hues on feminine fabrications mixed with menswear details. The entire collection was exquisite.

Costello Tagliapietra featured texture with soft silk, and warm wool, combined with heavy, menswear inspired footwear. There was a slightly retro vibe with wide leg trousers, tie-waist jackets, and school-girl jumpers.

I loved the texture, color palette, and jumpers. What do you think of the collection?


Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish review

Pictured: Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish. Shown with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. Photo taken during morning golden hour.

Gucci nail polish is a new favorite of mine. After testing out Black Gold, I decided to try Iconic Ottanio by Gucci. This fabulous dark teal hue offers shimmer and shine; like no other teal I have ever tried. This is a fabulous, unique nail polish color.

Iconic Ottanio nail polish by Gucci looks amazing with all shades of blue, green, purple and pink; as well as all neutrals-of course! It is a beautiful color to wear right now and in early spring. I also feel like Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish would be fabulous to wear in the fall season. 

I tested out Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish lasted seven days without chipping! Love that! I am looking forward to wearing Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish throughout the year. It is an eye-catching hue which I found random strangers comment on while I am out and about. That is amazing!

Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish can be found online here.
