Manolo Blahnik, yes again.







I came across these images here and thought I should post them. This is Mr. Blahnik home. How inspiring is his place? I would love to look at every nook and cranny. I am in love with the salmon colored sofa with the black framed art work. I could definitely move in right away!

Manolo Blahnik.






Mr. Blahnik shoes are not only beautiful and well made but, so comfortable. These are my favorite shoes the BB.


Who could forget these royal, satin shoes that Carrie Bradshaw wore? These were especially designed for the movie.

Polaroid


I have always loved photography. As far as i can remember I have always appreciated this art form.



 I own several different cameras, vintage and new. However, my favorite has always been my Polaroid SX70 Camera. It captures images and color like no other camera. I was so sad when Polaroid closed their doors. 

These images I took on several trips to Europe. Maybe one day I can make an art book with these. I would like to experiment with the film that is available through The Impossible Project. Thanks to them  that Polaroid film is still available for vintage Polaroid Cameras.
They bought the Polaroid factory in Enschede (NL) back in October of 2008.

My Essentials

My essentials have become less. Through out the years I have learned that...Yes, less is more. I love my YSL Touche Eclat  and when I need a little more coverage, I use Light Experty By Terry. It goes on smooth and luminous.  
I rotate my lipgloss it's either Chantecaille or YSL Golden GLoss. Usually Chantecaille during the day and YSL for the evening. The YSL gloss has more pigment so it gives a little more drama for the evening.  Love them. 
On most days I do not wear foundation but when I do I  usually go with the YSL Teint Parfait Complexion Enhancer. Its ahhhhmazing!
Can not go wrong with Diors Iconic Mascara and Chanel Le Crayon Eye Definer.
If I wear eyeshadow the only one I will wear is, Chanel Les Ombres, again the pigment is ahhhmazing. In my opinion, there is no other eyeshadow that has long lasting staying power as this one. 



 Lastly, I love Benetint in Rose for the cheeks, just the right amount of color for the day.
 For the evening I use Nars The Multiple in Orgasm.
Now, what are your essentials, I would love to hear yours:)
