Girls, Skulls and Butterflies
Fashion has always been partial to a skull and a butterfly, but never before have we seen the two so beautifully combined.
A cake, inspired by unique French artist Phillipe Pasqua, is truly a chic way to celebrate xx

Sorbet Shades – the hottest new mani!
Need some Spring style inspiration?
Celebrity manicurist and ORLY Australia’s ambassador, Fiona Hay says “Start injecting some colour back into your spring wardrobe with one of your own personal accessories – fingernails!
Shades inspired by sherberts, sorbets and macaroons are delicious this Spring. Peach nude, pistachio, musk pink, lilac, and lemon are also a must. As we head into Summer, nails shades will brighten up – so reach for hot neon colours.”
Fiona’s top tips for a perfect pastel manicure?
- Gently file your nails into a soft feminine shape, following the natural curve of your finger tip. Buff the surface gently with a foam buffer to prepare the nail for perfect polish application.
- Cleanse nail with polish remover to remove any dust and surface oils – this will help prevent peeling.
- Apply base coat, then two coats of your favourite ORLY nail colour – try shades It’s Not Me It’s You, Lemonade or Lollipop. Finally, seal with top coat for high shine, chip resistant nails.
- Don’t forget to apply cuticle oil daily, as needed.
Voila!

Paris Couture Week: Heavy Metal and a Kooky Hat…
The street fashion scene at Couture parades is becoming as significant as the collections themselves.
Real people (…well almost, more like fabulously chic Parisians), a fascination with how they pulled together their look, how they inherently know styles before they are seen on the catwalk and how they work a trend before it even exists.
One striking theme on the streets of Paris Couture Week? Bold necklaces paired with even more daring prints – colour, texture, hardware, stones, gems and intricate details, with abstract, geometric and random fabrics. Think a match made clash-loving heaven!
Definitely a note to self for the season ahead!
