Mish mash.

A bit of an assorted post, today :)

First up? Blixz Nail Foils thanks to the lovely Maz! If you're as much of a failure as I am at painting the other hand without getting nail polish everywhere, then these nail foils are for you. Same goes for if you like pretty nail art, shiny nails, bright colours, you name it. And if you're amazing at doing your own nails, then we should be friends and you can paint my nails at a sleepover or something :)

But Blixz exudes more awesomeness anyway.

As you can see from my index finger, I still started off as a bit of a fail, but once you get the hang of peeling, cutting and sticking, these foils look better than a perfect manicure (something I've never had :D). And no nail polish remover required! Just warm soapy water. Life is good.

Blixz has a great range of patterns and colours for you to check out HERE.

I'll be trying out more of them as the weather gets warmer :)

Topic number two: a lot of you will remember my feature of Miss Martina - designer of Berlin label, f.rau, a while ago. Martina sent through some awesome photos of her travelling and shooting new collections around Greenland - so get excited for some amazing lookbook shots coming very soon!

Don't you hate it when you're in your last year of school and someone emails you from a boat in Greenland? Martina, I'm supremely jealous :)

On that note, f.rau also just launched its new website for you to admire HERE.

P.S. any developments on my little shoe casting call? :)

*love*

I'm going to Iceland for my honeymoon in a few weeks, so seeing photos of Greenland (I know, I know entirely different country, but still...) is making me extremeeeeeeeeeeeely excited for it.

Those foils are pretty brilliant, but I don't think I could use them.

Mae Lu, thereafterish.

I can't even paint the first hand without getting polish on it! And I envy anybody on a boat in Greenland, as inclement as that sounds!
