Klosit Photo-shoot, 'Graffiti Love' & Lust List

January has been a crazy month for me catching up with all my college and volunteer work, events and a bit of modeling. I've come to realize my life is far too hectic for me to update as frequently as I was before, but none the less I will still be here to ramble and muse about the current on-goings in the wonderful world of fashion, style, art and beauty. So let's get on with it.


Klosit is a chic local label designed by Klaudia Lo. At a recent 'Glamour Me' event hosted by Klosit, I modeled for an impromptu photo shoot for the label...

POOQ ME UP


As a lot of you already know I'm currently an intern at the Vancouver-based couture accessories atelier POOQ, which currently specializes in purse hooks but is slowly expanding to more accessories. Currently, POOQ carries three collections of purse hooks - "Vanity", "Bijou" & "Paris Magnifique". With plans to launch a new collection each fashion season, next to come for Spring 2011 will be "Graffiti Love" a collection of purse hooks just in time for valentines day. But don't worry this isn't the typical, cheesy 'love-themed' collection, it's cool and edgy with a romantic twist and I'll be sure to let everyone know when it launches, until then check out the website and browse the current collections.

Lust List

My current lust list is mostly a lot of things to finish getting settled into my new apartment. However, like any other fashion obsessed person there are still things I'm lusting after;


BURLESQUE by O.P.I

I already own three out of the six nail varnishes from O.P.I's BURLESQUE collection (purple, gold & multi-colored). To be honest, I'm usually not one for sparkles - I like my nails very matte but I have been loving these so much; just few coats alone or over your favorite polish and a top coat. It's not too over-bearing and or tacky but especially for someone like myself, who generally opts for a grey-scale color palette they add a little something. Definitely best with short rounded or square-rounded nails.


'Shank Black' leather lace up booties by ACNE

I have only two words to describe these ACNE booties - fucking perfect.


'Tiger Lily' maxi dress & 'Sequin Lips' tank both from WILDFOX Couture 'White Label 2011 collection'
.
I absolutely lovelovelove WILDFOX Couture Spring 11/Spring 2011 White Label. I do prefer 'White Label' a bit more and the dress and tank above are must haves for me.


Lipmix in burgundy from 'Tough Love' by M.A.C

I also want this in black. It's a cream pigment used to mix and deepen colors for your lips - or if you're creative eyes or cheeks.


'Girl About Town' lipstick by M.A.C

this is one of M.A.C's infamous, classic lipsticks and I don't know why I don't already own it;

I'm still in the process of 'Skin Challenge 2010', which I guess is now 'Skin Challenge 2011' and using a lot of trial and error trying to find my Holy Grail items; Currently there are a few things I would consider Holy Grail items in my skincare routine. Those being sudocreme for spot healing and cetaphil moisturizer. I've also been trying a lot more at home facial scrubs and masks and will probably discuss my favorites in more depth in further posts.
