Mani Monday | Blvck

Believe me when I tell you, Oahn at Rex Day Spa in Falls Church, VA is the real deal. I may have mentioned before that I've been painting my nails since I was 4 so, needless to say, I'm very particular about my manicures! Truthfully, I've never been completely satisfied until now.

About my nails:
My good friend Bridget is a nail diva and after seeing her wear this half moon design earlier in the year, I knew that I wanted to replicate it. Soon after two failed attempts (one mine and the other at a salon), I decided to get a name: Oahn. For my appointment, I requested the half moon design and Erin Fetherston's NYFW Fall 2015 accent nail. Basically altering two inspirations to make them my own. My nails were prepped to my liking (she even patched up a snag!), and the nail art was skillfully completed with precision.

I usually don't paint with gel colors or shellac because it lasts at least 2-weeks, and I get bored quickly. But, I love, love, love my nails! What do you think?

The Butterfly Effect

Flocks of photogs, fashion bloggers, and design enthusiasts crowded the streets and stages of Paris Fashion Week. The grand gesture of Fall/Winter 2014 Ready-to-Wear collections wrapped this week, but there are collections that will leave us breathless through summer. One of those collections is from Zuhair Murad.

Murad released a beautifully crafted collection inspired from the butterfly. Notice the lines and the delicate detailing. His intense study of these Lepidoptera is apparent in the slim bodice, pronounced flare, and darting patterns. Only the finest detail encompasses the design-- Zuhair Murad's signature touch. A vision of feminine elegance that women have been thirsty for season after season.

 

With the weather as it is, it's perfect timing for Zuhair Murad's Fall 2014 RTW collection. Get lost in the butterfly effect, even if it's only in a daydream...
