Spring is merely a month and a half away and designers have started to release their Spring 2013 lookbooks.  IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel, one my favorite California based brands, is  transitioning into Spring with Cinema Retro; a collection rich in shapes and colors reminiscent of curvy screen beauties Sofia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot. Inspired by the luscious and form-fitting styles of ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, designer Yuliya Raquel has created sensual silhouettes with a modern twist in retro prints, bright splashes of colors, and vivid hues. Cinema Retro includes fully lined dresses, separates, and bridal gowns with signature techniques to flatter the full-figured body.

“Cinema Retro is about glamour, sexiness, fierceness, sensuality and not
being afraid to express yourself as a confident chic woman. The collection
exhibits the classic IGIGI signature style of modern femininity with a vintage
vibe.” said Yuliya Raquel.

See here how I styled one of my IGIGI dresses. Which dress is your favorite from the Cinema Retro collection?

White Hot+Traffic-Stopper Copper

I got my Sephora goodies in the mail on Saturday and I couldn’t wait to try my Sephora by OPI polishes. You would think I’d have a white nail polish, given it’s as common as having a red or a pink polish, but Sephora by OPI’s White Hot is my first white polish and the pigment is amazing. The glitter, Traffic-Stopper Copper (say that 10 times fast) is a perfect rose colored glitter that would look glamorous on top of any polish. I love the confetti look to the glitter and I really like how the white makes it pop.

Although I know Adobe’s InDesign, I was curious to see how Polyvore’s Set application worked. I must say I’m impressed how easy it is to create these things! This is my first one, it was a lot of fun, but I might keep it the basics and use InDesign.
