A Rose Gold Affair

 The Michael Kors rose gold watch started an insane addiction for me last year.  

I can't seem to get enough of this hue!

A 26th birthday gift

Alexander Wang Rocco with Rose Gold Hardware

I've been procrastinating for months over which handbag I'd like to eventually purchase (or in this case, receive).  I've always admired the Rocco because of its gorgeous pebbled leather, classic shape and edgy bottom.  Adding rose gold to the mix was a no-brainer for me.

Matching Michael Kors cosmetics case

Found this for a steal at 50% off at the outlet store.

Sydney Evan Love Ring in Rose Gold

Purchased from TheCurrentCustom

& lastly the Adena studded flats by Sam Edelman

Definitely not a subtle look but hey they're fun!

Side note: I tend to only wear one rose gold piece at a time, due to the flashy factor.

Are you into rose gold?  I'd love to hear about your fave RG products!

Thanks for reading,

Oh, Orlando

So I took my annual trip to Florida a few weeks ago & thought I'd share a little photo story...

palms on International Drive, Orlando

Gel nails for the trip of course

gelish pink smoothie, I believe

pretty Italian-style castle. Epcot

Outfit of the day FAIL

I said to myself before the trip I was going to get my sister to take photos of my outfits for the blog.  This was the first and last attempt, lol.  If you can see, I'm wearing Zara skinny jeans with ankle zippers, Zara sweater, F21 studded sandals, a Chaser destroyed tee (obsessed with this brand) and a Rebecca Minkoff leopard rocker bag.  

Yummy croissants, creme brulee and other pastries from Le Chefs de France, Epcot

Mint green bandeau bikini, Victoria's Secret

Margaritas, plural

I've saved the best for last.  You can't go to Orlando, FL without visiting the Mall at Millenia.  

Paper mache butterflies dripping from the ceiling at Neiman Marcus.  

Treated myself to a pair of Ray Ban Cats 5000

& of course some makeup!

Chromographic liner, Copper 3D glitter and mixing medium from MAC

Chanel Plaisir glossimer

and the uber expensive but worth it tinted moisturizer, Chantecaille Just Skin.

(the gold tote was free with a Neimans beauty purchase- score!)

I hope you've enjoyed this.

Tell me about your upcoming vacation/travel plans!

Harmonie de Printemps Purchases

Is it just me or do the Chanel makeup collections come out earlier & earlier each year?  Not that I'm complaining, trust me I was ecstatic when I saw the Spring 2012 collection all set up perfectly and unswatched.  I initially went to my counter to purchase the black illusion d'ombre, Mirifique & left with two other goodies.  

(pointless fotd because you can't see the products in all their glory)

Horizon de Chanel blush- 

This is probably my favorite cheek product of all time.  It contains two stripes of pink, peach & berry color.  There is also a white shimmer & champagne stripe.  Swirled together you get the most glowy, gorgeous, light peachy pink cheek.  The shimmer is refined so you don't look glittery but I would say that a highlighter is not necessary.   

I also picked up the Rouge Coco Shine in #68 Candeur. 

This is my first Rouge Coco Shine so I can't compare it to the others but it is definitely very sheer.  I prefer matte or satin lipsticks, so I plan on using this over something like Myth for a touch of pink glossiness.  It really is gorgeous on its own as well.  There is a fine pink shimmer running throughout the lipstick.  I'm a sucker for pink makeup, especially if it's Chanel. 

Harmonie de Printemps is now online, will you pick up anything?

p.s. I missed blogging so much, I hope everyone is well!!!

Yes, I'm way late on this train but I recently purchased this OPI Katy Perry mini polish set.  

My fav color by far has to be Teenage Dream.
