The pictures as promised. All of the articles I'm wearing in this outfit are specified in my youtube video embedded above. Give this look a
chic Vote on chictopia.
Below, more that I hadn't mentioned in the video. I'm wearing lingerie for day, an old nightie given to me by my mom. Everything else is from Zara including this fabulous neutral beige leather purse, except the black belt which is from Urban Outfitter.
Pair it with heel for a more dressed up look. I'm wearing Nine West satin pumps in pink and peach, an oversize short Mango cardigan in gray with light gray strips, and white wedges from Zara.
Chic vote.

I went shopping yesterday and barely bought a thing. I've been good. Sometimes, if I take a good look around without buying much I get inspired by things that are already in my wardrobe. Maybe that's just my way of justifying inexcusable visits to the mall and clothing stores. Anyways, I found this silver ring :
no limits - Nicole by OPI
In my own clothes, after an unsuccessful fitting at Urban Outfitters. I ended up finding a leather waist belt for $6 and that made me happy. Bored much, mwua ha ha.

I noticed that after frequent use of nail polish and nail polish removers, my nails were beginning to suffer. I love nail polish but there are so many chemicals and drying agents in them and the removers. I already have thin nails, they've gotten even frailer and even began to tear easily. Another worry is how nail polishes and removers can stain your nails yellow, which is totally disgusting.
I've tried nail polish removers without acetone in them, they are healthier for the nail however they take forever! They still smell strong and continue drying out my cuticle and nail. That means I smell the product for more time, since it takes forever do even do one nail. Imagine all 10 or 20 nails! The constant rubbing only adds to the dehydration nails... oh frustration and intoxication.
For a while, I refused to paint my nails in order to preserve them until they get the beating of their lives' this summer. There's no way 'm wearing sandals without nail polish. There must be a solution.
I've found two alternatives to regular nail polish removers:
- odorless
- spill proof
- acetone free
- no evaporation
- soybean based
- rinses with water
- no alcohol
- no acetone
- no ethyl acetate
- gentle sent
- environmentally safe
- no spilling
- contain vitamin E
Now, I'm on the hunt to find them in stores. I don't really feel like ordering. Has anyone ever tried either one of these products?

Worst dressed (wtf were they thinking):
Deborah Ann Woll - This color goes horribly with her skin tone and the cut really didn't do her any good.
Jennifer Lopez - This looked like bubble wrap. Instead of slimming her wide hips, she opted to amplify them.
Faith Hill - Disaster, it's just all wrong. There is so much going on in all the wrong ways.
Virginia Madsen - Ladies and gents, this is how not to wear blue and black together.
Sarah Jessica Parker - Chanel never looked more like a frumpy banana. The top is gorgeous, I just hate the way it falls like an empty sack.
Zoe Saldana - The top was gorgeous, the color was too until you scroll down. I ask myself, why does her dress look burnt or as if it were soaked in ink?
Antonio & Melanie - What's wrong with both of them? He looks so old with that beard and she looks like a dominatrix!
Leave comments please!! :) What do you think?

Almost there, but not quite:
Kristen Stewart - Bride's maid much? It was nice and boring, I guess it might have been because she was not going to win anything and there was no reason to over dress. On a lighter note the color is nice but would it have hurt to wear a better statement piece? It looked like she forgot her jewelery at home, except for that one bracelet she wore. Something was missing, am I right?
Penelope Cruz - Everyone liked this dress, I thought it looked like a bulky bride's maid dress or curtains wrapped around her body. It was boring, but at least she didn't wear black again. I find most of Penelope's choices in wardrobe uninteresting. She's Spanish, why can't she wear something sexier?
Diane Kruger - I wanted to like this dress, but something puts me off with the ruffles being at the bum, hips and gut only - not flattering! If the ruffles weren't there and the dress would just drape after that band of black ruffles, then it would have been one of my top picks. I'm sure this dress was cake inspired, mmm ... I feel like eating cake now.
Amanda Seyfried - She is truly beautiful, like the Gemma Ward of Hollywood (that's who she reminds me of). This color washed her out. Her bracelet didn't work with the dress and she need to let her hair down. I would have loved to see her with some
40s inspired waves in her hair.
Demi Moore - Return of the Mummy chest? The dress is so close to her skin color that it looks like peeling skin, it's very strange. I don't know what else to say about this... NEXT!
Charlize Theron - What is on her boobies? I love Charlize, she is truly gorgeous and the color is right on point. The silhouette is very flattering. I especially love the lipstick but I just wish her boobs were left alone.
