Color Block Nails!

If you haven't noticed, color blocking has been a huge trend within the fashion industry. So I thought, why not do a color block nail design? It's super easy and it doesn't take that much time.

Here's what I used:

Base & Top Coat

The black polish is a must have to define the lines you create. However, the other three colors can be any you desire.

If you don't have a nail striper, you can do what I did. I made my own by using an old eyeliner brush and cutting an old nail polish brush.

Step 1: Apply base coat.

Step 2: This can be either the last step, or second step depending on what you think will look better. Paint a vertical line. Then paint a horizontal line making sure you only paint it on one of the halves of your nail. Make sure you use the color black for this step.

Step 3: Just color in the three spaces.

Step 4: Apply top coat.

PS: I know, my nails look a tad bit messy. It's so hard to remove the side polish without ruining the design so I just left it like that!

La Maison Simons Clothing Line Review & Haul

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a few representatives at La Maison Simons. Simons is a clothing located in Quebec, who have also opened an online shop which allows buyers to purchase items such as clothing, accessories as well as home decor! I was given a $50 gift card to buy anything I liked from their website.

Here are some of the things that I purchased.

Zigzag Jacquard Sweater. Originally $38.00, I got it on sale for $19.99!

How I wore it

When I first chose to buy this top, I selected the size medium rather than my normal small. I did this because I wanted the shirt to be loose and casual. As you can see in the picture above, I paired the top with a pair of black pants, a gold necklace, a black beret and a pair of round sunglasses courtesy of La Maison Simons.

Oversized Striped Tee- Originally priced at $20.00, I got it on sale for $11.99

How I wore it

I've been searching for a black striped shirt and finally found it at Simons! I also purchased this top in a medium because I wanted it loose enough so it could be worn off the shoulder or as a casual slip on. I paired this shirt with ripped skinny jeans, and accesorized it with a pair of pearl earrings as well as bracelets. I also added the sunglasses into this photo, but I personally did not wear them, but you can.

Retro round sunglasses - $10

I selected these because I wanted a pair of trendy round sunglasses. I've seen quite a lot of celebrities wearing round black ones and I thought I'd change it up by not purchasing the classic black but white instead.

Black Business Class Italian Stocking - $7.25

I don't think I need to say much about this product, every girl goes through many of these. It's an essential part of every girls wardrobe.

When I received my order, I found this cute little tote bag in my box.

The Verdict

Overall, my experience with La Maison Simons was great! Some of their items are a bit over priced, however if you look hard enough you can easily find clothes that match your style and suit your budget. I'm very happy with the clothes I received. I've worn them a few times since I got them and I love them. They may seem like casual tops at a glance, but you can easily dress them up to your liking. I hope this review gives you guys an idea of what you may like to purchase at La Maison Simons.

I think I just died a little - India Resort Fashion Week

I think I just died a little, I'm so stupid, I can't believe I'm 3 weeks behind on the India resort fashion week. 

I usually always write an article on DESIblitz, but I've been caught up with other stuff that I totally forgot about it. ARGH! Shame on me. Anyways, I was looking at some of the collections on the internet and I died. Some of the pieces are just so stunning, from their embellishments and embroidery to the colors and fabrics used.

I decided to share with you all my top two designers from the India resort fashion week: Manish Malhotra and Pria Kataria Puri!

Manish Malhotra - Why are you so amazing?

Manish Malhotra is like thee KING of Fashion in Bollywood. This man is so unbelievably talented. I've realized that Manish showcases his collection during the finale of any fashion week and I can understand why, they obviously leave the best for last. In his latest collection, the colors used were definitely more festive and brighter. From anarkhali's to blazers, he had it all in this collection. One fabric that appeared a lot in the collection was definitely velvet.

Pria Kataria Puri

Every collection I look at of Pria Kataria Puri's I've noticed she always includes jumpsuits, and maxi kaftans. But I am not complaining since she always manages to make them look different. One thing I noticed was a lot of sequince, including sequinced bikinis! The collection consisted of a variety of different shades from warm reds and oranges to a bit of black pieces thrown here and there. Overall, with those marvelous eye catching pieces, Pria definitely manged to live up to continuously making her collections look sexy and classy.

I'll be write an in depth article on DESIblitz very soon in regards to the fashion show, so be sure to check it out once I post it!
