Anthropologie, An After Christmas Haul.

I learned a few years back that you can score amazing deals on +Anthropologie .com after Christmas on fancier, holiday influenced clothes. This haul features 3 items from the Sale page where I enjoyed an additional 25% off. As I share this haul, all three items are still available.   Nicolet Dress Inspired by his love of cinema and Old Hollywood glamour, Marc Bouwer creates timeless pieces with touches of modern elegance. Case in point: this incredibly flattering lace-printed ponte sheath. For a pop of color, we'd add ruby pumps and a statement necklace.   I can describe this blush dress in one word: SEXY. It oozes sex appeal. This is not a lace overlay, it is a print which is lined up perfectly on the front and back, void in all the right places. With caped sleeves, it is body hugging and curve making. Personally, I will omit a statement necklace in favor of some arm candy & a statement ring and never one for a red and pink combo, I would go royal ...

Lettered in Scarlet

Scarlet is an intricate color; polish one coat for a gray finish with complex maroon undertones and two coats to achieve a full captivating maroon-gray. This mind-blowing color is a must try. How could I resist a description like that? Especially when it was 35% off during Black Friday?! With that savings I grabbed 3 bottles, regularly $16 each. Today I present Scarlet . One coat provides a unique sheer grey finish which dances with shades of maroon. I applied 3 coats for full opacity and rich shimmer. I waited 3 minutes and accented the moons of my nails with Alchemy , my favourite LVX shade of all time!! Once both shades had fully cured I added a top coat to lock in the shine. I waited a solid 10 minutes before completing this last step. I did not want the gold to lift and drag down my nail.
