Evil Eyes & Hamsa Hands by ViktoriaLove

Rainy, cold, windy & dull is a perfect day to work on Evil eyes and Hamsa hands jewelry by ViktoriaLove.

I've been wanting to start this little fun creative hobby for a while but never had the time to do so, till today. I think it will turn out really good. Still needs a lot of work and research but at least this is a start.

You all know what an evil eye & hamsa hand fanatic I am, I counted all my bracelets that I have today but I don't dare to tell you the number. Anyways as I am such a big fan on these bracelets here comes the first evil eyes & hamsa hand bracelet by ViktoriaLove.

My supplies to create the first bracelet.

Some evil eyes, hamsa hands, little shiny crystals and other essentials.

Here it is the first Evil eye & Hamsa hand bracelet by ViktoriaLove

Fits like a glove!

Goes really well with my single evil eye bracelet.

LOVES IT!

You want one?

Let me know...and stay tuned for more designs and models, coming soon.

Glimmer from Absolut Vokda

For a few seasons now I have been buying all the limited edition Absolut vodka bottles for my bf.

I really enjoy buying them because one I am swedish so I got to support my country he he.

Two, I think the bottles are really pretty and if you have the right display for them they look mucho stylish.

I know we have not even passed Halloween but the reality is Christmas is on its way so I thought I would bring you a little a tipple of what’s to come.

Each year Absolut Vodka produces a limited edition bottle to celebrate the festive season. This year, they’ve created Absolut GLIMMER, where the bottle has been transformed with a ‘dazzling’ crystal patterned glass.

LOVES IT!

We all know that fundamentally these things are done to sell more bottles, but we like it when companies actually explore their packaging like this. It makes the product more than just a consumable and asks us to appreciate packaging as something with aesthetic value, something that you want to keep or in my case collect!

What do you think about the Absolut bottles?

Popping in at Fashion Pop Montreal

Fashion Pop, is serving a double duty this time around. It is the launch party for this year's Puces Pop but also a fashion show with a fresh selection of local up-and-coming designers.

That is where I was last night!

Since it was a fashionista gathering I thought I would represent Scandinavia by wearing one of my Odd Molly dresses.

I was in a hurry when leaving the house so my pics are not that great but I was wearing my S. Weitzman 50/50 boots for the first time last night.

Nat & Me at the entrance of Rialto

Cheers!

Lovely Nat has taken her seat to scope the local talents

and Dikran too.

It was a nice surprise that DJ Mini was spinning some good electro.

And So it began....there was some really nice pieces last night. My favorite was designer number two. The name of her label was Prototype. Really nice stuff!

Yes, there were "goodie bags" but they were disappointing because they only contained magazines and flyers...but better than nothing.

There is lots more exciting Pop Montreal stuff going on around the city until October 3rd. I'll let you know where I will be next.

Top 10's in Fashion

After a local Montreal fashion show, with local designers last night I got really inspired and curious about who is on top in the fashion world. When they were at the top and for what category.

After a little research I found the Top 10's in fashion. Anything from the Top Ten Collections to Top Ten Scenesters.

I picked a few of my favorites, mostly one from each category.

My favorite Top Ten Collection

Alexander McQueen's (Spring 2010 collection) Plato's Atlantis production was his embrace of digital technology.

In this collection you there was anything from outlandish shoes to lobster claws which proved once again McQueen still has his talent as a fashion designer but also does not fail to provoke.

My favorite Top Ten Fashion Icon

This was an easy pick for as I LOVE Lady Gaga. Lady G may have gotten inspired by Madonna but she has gone way further than Madonna ever did. It also help to have Nicola Formichetti on your own styling team. Who does not love this lobster headpiece?

My "itiest" accessory

This was a hard one as the iPhone is not really a fashion accessory but personally I can't live without it. I always have it with me no matter what outfit I am wearing and it always matches..hehe...so for me there was no other option for the "itiest" accessory.

My favorite Top Ten Model

This was a HARD one. There are so many beautiful models out there. I love all the top ten models but if I can only pick it had to be Lara Stone. She has a beautiful body (not super, uber skinny) and the bleached brows, tooth gap and her curves make her GORGEOUS!

My favorite Top Ten Scenester

Blah, blah, blah.....I know what you are thinking but as my as Lilo does get in trouble she still manages to show up where it matters, whether she is wearing her alcohol bracelet or not. I will give her props for that.

These are my top picks. What are yours?

If you click here you can see the complete list for the Top 10's at style.com

PS I will upload pics from last night fashion show asap

MAC & Disney's Venomous Villians

I LOVE all Disney cartoon movies from 101 Dalmatians to Snow white.

I love the princesses, the heroes and I even have a little love for the villains.

You all know that I also like make-up a lot. I know there is anything from Chanel make-up to Bobbi Brown, but I really LOVE MAC make-up. It just works for me and I can always find a new lip gloss or eye shadow that I like.

All this love for Disney and MAC grew even more when I found out that they have made an collaboration on a limited make-up series called Venomous Villains.

Because I have light hair and fair skin I think that the Cruella De Vil make-up is best suited for me. If you don't know who she is, she is from the animated Disney movie 101 Dalmatians, that came out in 1961. She is an dalmatian dominatrix, known for her cheekbones, dramatic entrances and trails of absinthe-coloured smoke.

Haha...sounds a bit like me but I am much nicer!

Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians

MAC & Disney chose four villains for their make-up series. Here are three different looks of Cruella De Vil

Hearless Cruella

Cruella De Vil

Innocence Beware Cruella

All the make-up products come with a little cute design of a villains depending on which villains series you choose.

Busy Bee

Today was a really productive day all in all.

I did my yoga as usual then I went and I got some yummy and healthy groceries. I don't usually enjoy shopping for food but today was actually kind of nice.

It's my brothers birthday soon so he is having a huge party in Stockholm, so I designed some nice VIP invites for the guests who are invited to the dinner before the actual party starts. Then I went to print them and they turned out SUPER nice. I will post a pic of the invite tomorrow. As I was already at the print shop I decided to print some other documents that I needed. I actually just got home and I am pretty tired. Gonna make a nice fruit plate and watch an episode or two of "How I met your mother" then head to bed.

Tomorrow is going to be really fun and exciting as I am invited to the Fashion Pop show and I can't wait. Lots of local fashion and fun people. I will take lots of pic and maybe even some videos. I will of course post it all asap. Now time for my beauty sleep and some cuddles with my chichi.

xoxo

Very relaxed look this evening.

Hoodie from WESC, 7 jeans, Ed Hardy shoes, jacket from Mathilde Stockholm, Diesel cap and scarf from Zara.

It was pooooooring out when I was leaving the house so I didn't feel like dressing up at all.

What you think of the super relaxed look?

Vote for me!

A little Love and A little Frustration

Salut!

Sorry for being a little M.I.A for the past few days but I had some things I had to do and to think about and my mood was a bit down, but now I am back.

Yesterday was an interesting day I got a lot of "adult stuff" done..hehe...I mean like all kinds of paper work stuff around the house and yes of course I went to hot yoga. I can't live without it anymore. Damn you Nat, you got me addicted to hot yoga! I just LOVE how great you feel after you finish and you have a shower....

Complete Relaxation and you feel like you are walking on air!

I had a look at the weather forecast and lucky me it's only going to rain till Saturday....that's the next 5 days! I guess I get some good use out of my Burberry wellingtons finally.

I have not decided what I am going to do today yet except for yoga and groceries then we will see where the day takes me. It would be nice if it stopped raining so I could walk around down town and see if I can find "that" jacket I want.

I LOVE this photo which I actually took right here in Montreal. It's a statue that says Love...when I saw it I was going to take it home with me but then I didn't find a way to transport it, at least I've got this photo.

On a completely other note, what is up with the TERRIBLE customer service in Montreal? Wow, people are just messed up...they think they are up on some kind of high horse but reality check, YOU'RE NOT!

I read this one message this morning and I thought to myself... "people are so freaking fake" in this city! They are nice to your face but after that they don't care. I think that if you say, you are going to do something you should do it otherwise don't say it. Am I not right? Especially after you have messed up in the past.

Anyways, there are lots of great people here in the city to, but you know how it is....it's always the ones you don't like that get to you the most. To all my great "Monty people" LOVE ya!

I kind of feel like cooking dinner tonight, not just for me but maybe for some friends. I am going to go now and find out what every ones dinner plans are for tonight. I'll be back a little later.

Bisous! Bisous!

Amazing Race & Chillaxing

This is what I'm going to do tonight...just me relaxing...
I really need this to be able to fight when the week begins tomorrow!

What to do What to do

eehhh....what's up?

Just got of the phone with my mommy (miss her lots), we talked about lots of fun things like always.

It's raining outside again, I feel like this weather girl Laurie Graham (i think that's her name), you know the blond one that works for CTV, like she is always wrong with her weather forecasts. I thought it was not supposed to rain today? I mean giving the wrong weather forecast really "messes" with peoples weekend plans...grrr....

Ok, ok, maybe it's not Lauries fault but it feels better if you can blame it on someone. Right?

I'm not sure what to do today now that the weather is ICKY. I am debating weather I should stay home and watch a bunch of reality TV-shows? It's kind of nice to have a lazy, at home Sunday. I don't usually watch reality shows but this could be a perfect timing to catch up on them and as everyone seems to be watching them and I'll finally be able to join the conversations about.....

"OMG, she can't dance at all" and "I think this girl should be Americas next top model"....lol...NOT!

Or I can......

Be a trooper, get dressed, make my friends get ready and head over to Picnik Elecro, to dance and listen to Josh Wink. This is "most def" a much more challenging option than staying home.

However, I have the gear for it, my "wellies", my raincoat, some leggings and a jumper and I even have a rain-hat and an umbrella. This should keep me dry while dancing and singing in the rain...right? Anyways, even if we do get a little wet it's just water after all and I am not gonna melt...lol

What to do...what to do..? What do you think I should do?

Yikes....need to decide sooner than later....

Temp Tattoos Cooler than Real Tattoos?

Real vs Temporary Tattoos?

I keep seeing more and more designers come out with temporary tattoos is this good? Bad? Cool?

I like tattoos, I don't have any myself but I like them. I have always wanted one but I am scared that I will get tired of the design or the place on my body it is tattooed on. I also think tattoos look nice as long as your skin looks nice and healthy but when I see someone with nasty, wrinkly skin and a tattoo that you can't tell what it is anymore I think it looks gross. So I actually think that nice, fashionable tattoos by famous designers id the perfect option for me.

One of my already favorite designers has already launched a series or temporary tattoos. It's Betsey Johnson that has launched these super nice and trendy temporary tattoos. Woohoo! I am so getting some.

There is no waiting list so it basically first come first serve. You can find them by clicking HERE on the Betsey Johnson website.

Here are some examples of the style sheets that you can get and then go a head and be creative and create a custom temporary tattoo look.

Wicked!

You know who else rocking and designing temporary tattoos?

She is "most def" one of my favorite artists.....any ideas?

Taking cues from the latest obsession created by temporary tattoos Beyonce signs a deal with Temptu for a collection of tattoos. I just love the tattoo on her back so Sexy!

This is what Wwd reported:

"The tattoos are due on Nov. 1, and are available in both deluxe and basic packages. Designs include Deréon’s signature fleur icon, rocker bolts and chains, jewel baubles and spider designs. All are waterproof and designed to last for two to five days.The basic kits retail for $16 and will be available at Sephora stores in the U.S. and Canada, Sephora.com, Temptu.com and Dereon.com. The deluxe edition, $34 and limited to 500 pieces, will be available only on Temptu.com and Dereon.com. A waiting list is being taken here. Industry sources estimate the line could do upward of $200,000 at wholesale.”

After seeing these photographs of Beyonce for Tempu, I don't want real tattoos.

I WANT THESE ONES! They are so HOT!

I am signing up for the waiting list as soon as I finish writing this post. When I get my tattoos I will take sime pics and post them here on my blog for all of you to see. : )

At the end of the day what do you think about temporary tattoos?

Lame or Cool?

I know I prefer the temporary ones for sure as I can spot a new look depending on the occasion and outfit.
