Mid-Week Inspiration: French Half Moon Manicure

I've been in love with half moon manicures for as long as I can remember. I can't say the same thing about French manicures. However, blend the two together and the result is fantastic. At the Thakoon Fall 2009 runway show the models wore black and white French half moon manicures that are divine! I'd love to try this in a bright red. Check out The Stylist post on how to nail the half moon look. I can't wait to try it!

GASP! New Inspiration!!

I haven't been inspired from current high fashion in a long time. This one made me stop dead in my tracks and gasp for air when I opened my August issue of Vanity Fair. Claudia Schiffer stars in the Autumn/Hiver 2008-09 ad campaign for Chanel and she and the ads are gorgeous! I love the half lace half opaque stockings and just plain everything about it... the mood, the messy brunette bob, the half moon manicure.... I'm in heaven!! Thank you Karl!
