Hello Yellow

We have already established that I can't wear a yellow dress for wedding season (if you're new to Beaunz fill yourself in here)...but I've found the perfect compromise in this CND 'Bicycle Yellow' polish used on the Karen Walker models' nails at NYFW.

The KW collection was a gorgeous mash-up of prints and preppy with flashes of coral and blue (and as usual there are several pieces I have put in my 'to save for' file) but the thing that really stood out to me was the beautiful makeup and styling. I love the combination of flushed cheeks and coral lips, but it wouldn't be KW without a little wacky - hence the crayola yellow nails. I was going to write 'she nailed it' but that would be a cheesy, gratuitous pun for pun's sake.
I've got my styling sorted...now all I need is that darned dress...
Any ideas, lovely readers?

Let's pretend it isn't rabbit

Karen Walker 'Betty' glasses

'Hallo, Rabbit,' he said, 'is that you?'
'Let's pretend it isn't,' said Rabbit, 'and see what happens.'

Usually I'm a purist when it comes to glasses. I have had the same black Moschinos for the past 4 summers (times that by 6 for sunglasses years) and was swaying towards a pair of KW Super Duper Strengths, until I saw Betty


I can't help smiling when I look at these delightfully mad frames, but am I seriously considering wearing a bunny on my brow all summer?


What do you think, dear readers?
