Fafi-tastic

In the last few years MAC Cosmetics has been releasing limited-edition makeup collections, (great marketing tool) this February'08 is the release of Fafi for MAC. The collaboration between MAC & Fafi has garnered much media attention in comparison to past collections.

The question is, who is Fafi? Fafi is a a graffiti artist from Toulouse, France and her worldwide famous girly characters Fafinettes have attracted much attention outside of the grafitti art scene. Past collaborations have included Adidas, Coca-Cola, LeSportSac, and the list goes on! She has also published books titled, Girls Rock (2003) and Love and Fafiness (2006). Her collaboration with MAC not only includes makeup but apparel and you guessed it, Fafinette dolls named; Monoka (the book nerd from Tokyo), Ermine ("cheeky Frenchie" who loves New York), and Eriko (the "big sister" from Japan who loves Paris).

The makeup collection will have two displays at MAC counters in order to feature this huge collection of intense and bold colours. MAC's press release for the collection states, "What follows is a hip spring colour collection filled with bold, empowering hues, unapologetically girly lip shades of pearly pinks and tangerine reds, iridescent powder, brown, blue and green Paint Pots and Quads, and whimsical cosmetic accessories." Now the question is, what to buy? Honestly, there's only so much makeup a girl can store in her Rubbermaid storage boxes.

What was once old is now a great vintage find!

I'm hoping I have the day off work so that I can go treasure hunting. Show's like these are great places to find vintage pieces. Hopefully, I can find some vintage Gucci to add to my purse collection. I started collecting Gucci purses a few years ago but have not found any great finds lately. Great way to spend a Saturday, especially if the weather continues here in Toronto (snow, snow & more snow).

Spring Forward

Micheal Kors-Spring'08, Micheal Kors-Spring'08, Nanette Lepore-Spring'08, Tuleh-Spring'08

As I sit here admiring the snowflakes outside my window I can appreciate winter. However, my admiration for Winter is purely from the indoors where the warmth of the fireplace reminds me of the sun hitting my skin on a hot sunny day. And so it is that I look forward to the next season & admire the pastel colours of Spring. Thus, I share with you a few of my favourite looks for Spring 2008.

Enjoy!
