Outfit: New No6

by grechen on January 26, 2012 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

outfit j brand jeans no6 clogs

WEARING:
J Brand Kat Jeans (a few years old)
James Perse t-shirt
Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent sweater (secondhand via MOSS)
J.W. Hulme Legacy Bag (I’m selling my other J.W. Hulme bag on eBay if you’re interested!)
No6 Clogs

I was forced to change my bag out today (from the yellow Balenciaga) because I really wanted to wear this sweater. And you know me, I can’t wear too many colors/patterns in the same outfit – it would cause a rift in the space/time continuum. Anyway, I’d forgotten how amazing this J.W. Hulme bag is; I’m glad I pulled it out to use today.

Since they’re hard to see in the outfit picture, here’s a close-up look at my new No6 clogs from the sale at La Garconne:

I’m so glad I sized up this time, they really feel so much better than my size 38 open-toe clogs. But…I like the style of the open-toe clogs better. These are good, I like them (especially the dark base), but I’m still going to keep my eye out for a pair of open-toe clogs on sale for Summer.

IRL: Butter London Spring 2012 Polish

by grechen on January 25, 2012 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

butter london nail polish review

I was not sure that I liked Butter London’s “Bossy Boots” when I first painted my nails (on Monday), but it’s growing on me. This is my first bottle of Butter London, and overall, I’m pretty impressed with the polish. I love that it’s 3-free, but these days, most nail polish brands are 3-free (even Chanel). I use Seche Vite ridge filler and topcoat with the polish and I haven’t seen any chips at all (which is generally unlikely with my Chanel polish) in two days. I also haven’t done much to chip my nails, but it’s still a good sign.

What do you think? Should I keep my bottle of Butter London nail polish? Or give it away here on the blog?
