Sustained Criticism

I'm just now seeing the shoes from Dior/Galliano's fall/winter line, and I am in undying lust with these They were inspired by fabergé eggs. The rest of the collection is no less gorgeous.

And Posten's tracking servive tells me my twentyfour piece MAC brush set arrived at my local post office today. I can't wait to play with them. Hopefully, customs will not have had their dirty paws on them.

I wrote this at the cottage, procrastinating as always, and thought I might as well post it. It is rather long, so I will cut it away and rant on about make-up and shoes underneath.

( New York, New York )

I was fascinated by Dior's Flower Blossom Limited Edition Compact at the airport, and ended up buying it. It is a sheer pink, with a print of ladybirds, flowers and a gemstone in the middle. And, with this image to advertise their spring look, how could I not fall pray to its lure? And I think I have announced already that I needed Chanel's new quint in shades of blue? Well, I bought it, and it is wonderful. Their ad convinced me blue eyeshadow will not make me look ill, or beaten-up. So, I have their "Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in Bleu Cèlestes" (the names are a mouthful) and am considering investing in a new nail varnish. I have a light, very pretty pink that I use to death, but I wonder whether I should get a dark blue (as seen in Chanel's spring look), or a deep bronze of some sort? Or perhaps a light green? Maybe I should indulge myself and try a blue lip gloss as well?

And, as I look out from my summery reverie, what is going on outside? Snow, endless heaps of snow. Whatever happened to my spring? I want to prance around in my new United Nudes! I wore my eamz boots (the leather is perhaps the softest I have encountered yet, really more fit for gloves than shoes) when Father defended his thesis, and comliments literally rained. Even the mad professor of genetics loved them, and whispered so rather creepily to me from behind. (Oh, fine, I give in, I am an attention whore when it comes to shoes. My United Nudes are just so buggerdly sexy. And that they are not available in Norway helps.) I need to wear my new UN's soon (and am stealing an image from shoewawa).
