Lanvin A/W 2015/16

  

Lanvin channels the goddesses this season, from gladiator leather to soft grecian gowns. Even gold accessories to match.

Here, we have a sneak peak into Lanvin Menswear this season.

Matching bag to coat, that's something you don't see all too often.

Yankee Candle Happy Holidays

Bundle Up - smells like cotton & greens

Berry Trifle - sweet berrylicious

Winter Glow - fresh and light like fresh snow

Phyto Hair Color

Phyto Color is paraben free and priced on the higher end of home hair dyes @ $38.90 a box. I chose Light Chestnut that is the lightest brown without yellow tones. You can not shampoo your hair immediately after using this home dye kit!

It's got all these good things for your hair so my locks weren't damaged and actually looked healthier after. It's more of a colour stain than a deep dye. I left it on 20mins at the roots and then 10mins on the rest of the hair, up close you can see slight colour variation where the roots were, considering my previous colour left lighter roots, its actually not bad. From far the colour looks great, matches the box colour.

Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria

Carnivore has been here for some time but I have never tried it until now. It's all fire roasted meat, veges and fruit. So primal and satisfying. The buffet has an astounding salad bar that includes soups, appetizers and side dishes. Passadors (waiters) bring the different meats to your table to carve onto your plate.

The MBS branch has a special set lunch for diners who don't want to fill up on buffet. So there is no excuse now for everyone not to try the meats here.

Joanne & Jodie's dresses

Sewing gowns for my cousins Joanne and Jodie, hopefully reflecting their personal tastes in these outfits. I chose a ribbon B&W print in linen blend for big Jo and colourful gem print in cotton for little Jo.

Toga dress with ribbon lapel and mermaid cut skirt. Mermaid skirts create an hourglass effect on fuller figures.

I used teal binding on the cotton dress to show off the sewing details on the dress. On hindsight I should have gone crazy with it but I didn't, kinda regretting it now as the print is quite busy so more defined lines provided by the binding would have been visually stunning.

I doubled the ruffle on the bodice to make it evenly centered.

A bit of train on the back.

Tod's A/W 2015/16

I like the driving shoes from Tod's and have worn out a few pairs already. It's that comfy and pretty enough to wear on formal occasions.

This season there are lots of nudes or neutral soft brown that is really versatile and goes with everything. The accessories are mostly studded in a V-shape. I like the bags more than the other stuff.

Menswear its khakis and black. More outdoorsy and rugged, you can still look like a gentleman while roughing it.

Reflected in the accessories too.

Le Creuset Magnets

These miniature Le Creuset round French Oven magnets are from their Facebook contest. I didn't even know they made fridge magnets. That's their entire colour list for my future reference.
