Pineapple madness

It's official: I'm addicted. Addicted to pineapples! Pineapples e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e! For me it started off with falling in love with a lamp in Zara Home collection, which unfortunately was sold out before I could get my hands on it...oh well! It didn't take long for me to get over it as I started noticing all these amazing items that were inspired by pineapples. And to top that up, Zara home came up with another pineapple lamp in its Fall 2014 collection (last image here). I cannot complain now, can I? Small compilations below starts from jewelry and clothing, moving on to interior. Love it all! Enjoy this selection,  but be careful - pineapple addiction is highly contagious :) X

Manicure session

On another rainy day in Amsterdam I thought to use my time wisely while enjoying my couch and watching the rain poor outside. Took out the tools and got down to doing a manicure using some of my favourite products from Essie, Chanel, Laura Mercier and Sephora. Color choice of dark red inspired by the weather, feels like fall. After soaking my fingers in warm water and removing cuticles, I start with applying Essie Grow Stronger base coat. Then 2 coats of Chanel Le Vernis nail polish. Next step - applying Essie Super Duper fast drying top coat which adds not only beautiful gloss but also durability, strength, and chip resistance to my  manicure. As a finishing touch, applying Laura Mercier body souffle with oh-so-amazing heavenly smell of coconut. We are done. Result - beautiful manicure made at home.

Inspiration on a rainy day

It's been raining the whole weekend in Amsterdam but I did manage to sneak out of the house and get my hands on the latest issue of Porter magazine.
