Christian Louboutin’s new Scarabee nail polish collection features three new colors, including Violet Blue,  which are perfect for summer. Christian Louboutin took his inspiration for this collection from the scarab beetle from Egyptian iconography. The colors reflect in the sun, and look like jewels in the evening. Love that!

Voilet Blue from Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee collection offers an exotic bluish-green hue with warm, golden undertones. The undertones reflect in the sun, and offer a golden-blue sheen which is unique, and ideal for a warm summer day. Love that!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Voilet Blue nail polish from the Scarabee collection with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish was very strong and lasted seven days before chipping. Now that I have a few Christian Louboutin nail polish bottles in my collection, I have become accustomed to the long wand applicator brush. Although it is not the easiest nail polish brush to work with, it does a great job applying an even coat of nail polish without creating a mess. Love that!

I am looking forward to testing out another color from Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee nail polish collection. The nail polish is limited edition, and with these fabulous colors, it will sell out fast! I have noticed Christian Louboutin’s nail polish has a good shelf life, and it can go months without being used and still be in perfect condition. This is key when in investing in designer nail polish. I feel good spending money on Christian Louboutin nail polish because I know it is long lasting on my nails, and on my shelf! 

Now, I feel like I need a Cleopatra inspired ensemble to match my Christian Louboutin Scarabee Voilet Blue nail polish. After all, Ra has been blessing us with sun, so why not dress accordingly to celebrate! I might have to start with these shoes, and go from there 😉

Memorial Day Weekend is always the kick-off to the summer season for my family. One of my family’s favorite past-times in the summer is playing at the beach! So, we ventured down to Capitola for brunch, and a fun day at the beach. Of course, since we have been having unusually cold and foggy weather the past couple of weeks, the beach was no different. The temperature for the day hovered in the mid 50’s; keeping us out of the water, and bundled up. It was still a fun day, and my daughter’s American Girl Doll also had a blast 😉 I just love her swimsuit, don’t you? She was the only one who did not feel cold at all! Haha

One of the new trends this summer is the cropped trouser pant trend. I recently picked up this pair of cropped, casual trousers from Gap and they turned out to be the perfect pants for our family beach day. The cuffs on the bottom of the legs, and the tie belt, gave the pants enough style to be worn to church before the beach, and also to brunch on our way to the beach! Perfection! Since they have an elastic waist and loose fit, these pants were extremely comfortable for sitting on the beach and playing around with my kids. I am looking forward to wearing these cropped pants all season long.

This top is also one of my new favorites. The fabric is ultra soft, making the blouse super comfy. Love that! I also love the faux tie-dye pattern, and roll-up sleeves. It was easy to wear all day. I am looking forward to wearing it with jeans, and shorts, later in the summer season.

Have you tried the cropped pants trend yet? What are your thoughts?

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.
