I am loving the new nail polish colors that Chanel will be launching on 10 September at VOGUE's Fashion night out. Like last year this will be a limited edition collection and sold in Chanel boutiques, online (unfortunately not for Holland) and selected department stores.

I really think that this collection of nail polishes fits perfectly in this Fall's trending colors and would love to get my hands on these colors.

Lipstick Chanel Rouge Coco No. 21 "Rivoli" / Nailpolish Chanel No. 487 "Rouge Fatal"

Remember my post about the Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Show? I really loved the colors the models were wearing on their lips and nails! Earlier I read that this nailpolish called Rouge Fatal would not hit the stores until October. You can imagine my surprise when I saw it in stores about two weeks ago. Naturally, it was a limited edition and I got the last bottle in that store. Can't believe I almost missed out on this one! I also purchased the 'matching' lipstick Rouge Coco in Rivoli which is indeed a perfect match with Rouge Fatal. I can totally see myself wearing this combo a lot this Fall and Winter!

Oh, I had such a busy day today. After my regular working day in the office I ran to the gym to have my regular workout. Hit the shower afterwards and rushed into town (the stores are open in my city until 9 pm on Thursday). I am so addicted to L'Occitane's Foot cream with shea butter and had to get a new one. This foot cream is absolutely the best there is! You should definitely try it, you'll love it!

I still had 30 min. left, so I decided to step inside Zara to see if they had any new stuff and got me something nice for Fall! Pics of what I got should be up within the next couple of weeks. :)

I was really impressed with Peter Philips' (Global Creative Director of Chanel make-up) choices for the Chanel Couture Fall 2010 makeup! Especially the color used on the lips and nails of all the models really drew my attention. The nailpolish in "Rouge Fatal" will be launched in October 2010 and I truly hope that it will not be a limited edition again like last years "Jade"!

The lipstick Philips used, was Rouge Coco No. 21, "Rivoli" (a deep red with plum accents). In my opinion, a true must-have for Fall and such a beautiful color.

The lipsticks are easy to apply, glide over your lips smoothly and are very moisturizing. Not to mention I really like the colors. There are 35 shades including a few limited editions that are exclusively sold in only some countries.

Added bonus are cute little pins that Chanel is giving away. My sweet SA at the Chanel beauty corner gave me 4(!) so that I could create the name Coco!!! :D

Chanel pins as buttons on my jacket!

Since I will have a company cocktail workshop and bbq on the beach tomorrow I suspect it will be very unlikely that I will find time to put up some new pics. Therefore I am posting them now! :) 

And although the weather forecast doesn't sound very promising, I have decided I will wear a nice flowery dress so I will be dressed for the occasion!
 
This is me with the dress I am planning to wear to tomorrow's bbq!

I'm back! :) After a long break due to personal issues I am finally back with a new and improved site. Well, the plan is that the site will be freshed-up in the near future. Further, I have decided to change the format of the site. I have decided not to write about IP related subjects only, but to put in a more personal note by writing about stuff I like and enjoy (which will obviously include IP every now and then). :)

Chanel Jade

First thing I want to share today is the latest Chanel nailpolish line. I'm not really a nailpolish kinda girl, but ever since the models at the Chanel Fall/Winter '9 Ready to Wear Fashion Show were wearing Jade on their nails I'm hooked! Too bad Jade was nowhere to be sold in Europe. I finally managed to find a second hand bottle of Jade on Ebay for "only" 75 euros. I know, I'm crazy!

Chanel Jade 407

Chanel Les Pop-Up de Chanel



Luckily for the ones among us who missed out on Jade, Chanel has decided to include a turquoise shade called Nouveau Vague in their new Chanel Les Pop-Up de Chanel, the nailpolish collection for this Summer. Nouveau Vague is obviously a different shade, but still shows some similarity with Jade. They finally hit the shelves over here in Holland and I immediately picked up both Nouveau Vague and Riviera (a hot pink). Too afraid to miss out.

I love both colors, but especially Nouveau Vague. You need to see them for yourself to understand why. For a swatch I can really recommend to pay a visit to All Laquered Up, a great site about nailpolish.

They are the perfect shades to wear at the pool and I think they would look great on a tan. Can't wait to put these on during my holiday later this spring! Go get yours before the sell out! :)
