Oh that's good. I'm heading to the States in November, if Naked is still around then I might just buy it!

Yeah it's $48, not sure how that compares to the euro price. And you get the little eye shadow primer in it too.

Can anyone go to the MAC Pro Stores?

Yep! I'm just reading the Yelp page for it here and some people are saying you need a pro-card to shop there and others are adamant that you don't. I'll stop by and see. I kind of just want to have a good look at all the stuff . I've been to Mac in Bloomingdales and the store at Union Sq so far and they've always been crazy packed. I've a feeling this one will be quieter.

I went to Sephora today! Why Twee WHY?! Didn't buy anything, but have made a list. Definitely going to get the Urban Decay Naked Pallet and some brushes. Gonna get one of the sales advisors to help me with a red lipstick as well. Gingers need red too! Also I think I found a good dupe for Nars Orgasm lipgloss. Will have to investigate further.

Ah, Sephora.

The Naked palette is amazing! Myself, my sister and three friends all bought it recently in the space of a month. We're all totally in love! Gorgeous colours and very versatile. I've done two different styles of smokey eye with already.

I love Sephora! I came back from NY with soooo much stuff, they're everywhere. You should try look at drugstore makeup too - the likes of Duane Reid etc has really good stock of makeup you can't get here. I've been to Sephora in Nice and wasn't too impressed, it was more expensive than here

ETA - I can't wear most of the colours in the Naked palette, as the browns are too warm for my skin tone and make me look like I have some funky eye disease, which is strange considering I can wear every other colour without any problems.

Yes, I forgot about the drugstores. I got lots of Sally Hansen polishes and nail art pens in Walgreens.

OK so I went to Mac Pro today! It certainly is hidden away, like in an office building! Walking distance from both Macy's and Union Sq, so you'll be in the area if you're shopping in NY. Very cool to look at certainly, and found the staff helpful. Got a look at the Semi Precious collection too. It is simply amazing! I'm low on money this week but I hope I can get one of the compacts, maybe an eye shadow too!

Oh Twee, I've been having fits of green-eyed hatred every morning.
I need to stop reading your posts in the morning before work.

I got a tad excited when an An Post fan pulled up outside the office door and the driver jumped in the back. I thought the Barleys were here but no....... it was another smaller much less interesting package for me.


Goes back to waiting......

OldGoat

I'm intreagued (nosey) now. What was in the package?

Hehe nothing fashion related unfortunately. Just some accessories for a bicycle, a new rear light and some grips. Exciting huh?! :pac:

OldGoat

Vicarious parcel post opening - thats a brilliant way to spend my Wednesday mornings. We should do this more often.

Well I just bought this for my new phone :cool:

So jealous! Still need to make a cover for mine like this! I would buy one but I think it would be fun to make one!

I'm dying to try and make one, I've been collecting bits and bobs and I'm hoping to try and make an ipod cover soon

I've seen pictures online of laptops and cameras and all sorts but I'm too scared to try those!

Sibylla

Acoshla your look is lovely in the WDYWT thread!

squeakyduck

Yeah, LOVING that blazer!

Acoshla

Aw thanks girls

Yeah I love that blazer, it's an XL and I really could've just done with the Large but it was the only size left, but it's grand, I keep meaning to take in the front of it the tiniest bit by moving the little hook but I never get around to it

I was just thinking today that all men should be trained to give professional blowdrys, how amazing would that be

Twee.

My mates boyfriend is a hairdresser, you can always tell when he's spent the night :pac:

Novella

Trying to pick my must-haves out of my make up bag for Oxegen today was torture. I just wish I could bring it all! :pac:

Twee.

Suncream and face paint. That is all.

I did actually pack nail polish last year! All the girls ended up with bright blue nails!

Oh thanks goodness I'm not the only one. I was going to say something, but well, I thought "that's just not the kind of thing a gal says in a fashion forum".

OldGoat

Whereas I have no scruples or sense of decorum. :cool:

I read this wrong first... anyway, how do you give a professional blowdry? Do you not just have to make sure the blowy end is pointing in the right direction?

Just as well, or I'd have had to let my otherwise impeccable image slide to reveal the lack of decorum underneath :eek:

I've moved the Italian Vogue posts to their own thread.

Congratulations on the job Twee.

Lia_lia

Wow Twee, that's great! Well done

Twee.

Eep thanks! I won't have to resort to the on the street charity sign up thing now, yay! I could not stand outside in the sun all day :pac:

Sibylla

Congratulations on your new job Twee It sounds very exciting.

I really like the Star Style thread on Kate Middleton, It brings a new element of discussion to the forum. We should have a thread for another style icon, Any ideas?

Anyone know what happened to the thread on F+A where some lady asked what we thought of two wedding dresses?..the first was lovely but she had swapped it for a generic plain one..I LOVED the first one and meant to take the url but forgot...

Toto Wolfcastle

As far as I can remember it was deleted because she was a spammer.

I was thinking about this - but it could resort to off-topic chat. My idea was to have a "Style Inspiration" thread, where you just post up photos of outfits and images that you like and inspire you and where you might get some of your ideas from for your own personal style... might be a bit too general though!

Malari

Urgh, did anyone else get the ASOS mailshot for Autumn fashions? Depressing.

Toto Wolfcastle

It seems to me from looking at that email that everything is in fashion.

Hopefully it will mean that there will be a good variety in the shops. I doubt it though.

At 2pm today! I haven't looked at it in detail, but just go to Asos and "new in" and that's all it's really telling me!

Well, I hope everyone got good use out of their Summer wardrobes, it seems it's time to put them away now :pac:

from a really brief look through the New In section it seems like I already own most of the stuff that's going to be fashionable this season

I'm dying for Autumn this year, I got so much good Autumn stuff over the past few months.

Twee.

I'm a big autumn girl as well, cannot wait for it to come back! I passed by an amazing vintage suit the other day Dark green, could almost be black, long wool coat and matching pencil skirt. I should have bloody bought it, but I had to pay my phone bill and have rent due next week. DAMN! If i go back and it's still there, it's fate!

I went to see a fantastic film today called Bill Cunningham New York. It's about a NY street fashion photographer, 80 years old and still going! It was just brilliant. In it he said "fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life".
