K.Valdes Tips you must have! Nail polish Chanel 2011

Last winter we got a peek at one of the Chanel Fall 2011 nail polishes when Chanel Graphite hit the runway but it’s Chanel Peridot that seems to be getting all the buzz. Is it green? Is it yellow? Are we talking Chanel duo-chrome? Inspired by the heritage and savoir faire of the artisanal craftsmanship of the House of Chanel, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, introduces new textures and makeup effects in a radiant Fall 2011 Collection, ILLUSIONS D’OMBRES DE CHANEL.
At the heart of this captivating colour story: Shimmering bronze, gold and platinum are the perfect complements to plum, khaki and copper shades on eyes and lips. Unique reflections of metallic green, silver and beige on nails provide the ideal counterpoint.
“Illusion d’Ombre is a new and exciting product, that’s easy to apply,” says Peter Philips. “I would suggest finger application. The texture is unique and has a very pleasant touch.”

Chanel Peridot – Green-Gold, Chanel Graphite – Metallic Silver, Chanel Quartz – Silver Beige
 I just love all this mix of colors and different shades all together, colors makes the world just go round.. Got almost all of them! seriously!!! and wanted to share of course with people that have the passion of fashion and just being girly!!!!! The in Tips of this season.

Camitz Sparkling Vodka By Luxury Spirits Switzerland. Info@luxuryspirits.ch

Camitz Sparkling Vodka is a unique and extraordinary, 100% all-natural and refreshing Sparkling Vodka.

Camitz is using only the highest quality grains. The water is sourced from the renowned ice-age underground springs of Tollsjo, which contain the perfect balance of minerals to produce such exceptionally superior vodka.
Camitz Sparkling Vodka elegantly balances a natural acidity with a light sweet finish, which is then amplified by delicate sparkling bubbles that underline the outstanding character of this super premium vodka.
Camitz Sparkling Vodka offers the ultimate shot, served straight either from the bottle or the bar-top dispenser. Camitz Sparkling Vodka can of course also be used in mixed drinks. Small amounts of high quality liquor, fresh fruit, and garnishes as well as combining with Champagne will make beautiful sparkling cocktails.

Camitz Sparkling Vodka matches perfectly with delicate flavours like fresh seafood, particularly sushi and raw bar favourites such as oysters and shellfish, where the elegant bubbles enhance salinity while the natural sweetness of the vodka balances acidity, creating a truly sensational taste experience.

Camitz Sparkling Vodka brings a whole new meaning to the world of vodka and quite simply is an experience you will never forget.

THE MUST Have LIST.

Love the sparkles and the fun colors OPI has for us for this November waiting for the festive moments soon coming to us ! I love to have different colors and love the fact this winter is coming pretty hard with very vivid colors ...
This dark jade green color is a beauty, sometimes in life we gotta change and try different things, I have to say at the beginning I said there is no way... but as soon as I had it on, It was just Asking me... KARINA HELLOOOO can you  wear me...please ;)

Putting together another photoshoot and preparing sketches for what the Makeup should look like, a lot of ideas and a lot to do

Haven't stopped! only day I gave myself a break was yesterday at the spa, seriously don't know if it was really a break but it was just amazing, after having massage and facial, I just relax by the pool and had amazing ideas flowing through my head, Funny thing is I love working next to a pool or a beach or my home and after saw my dearest partners for the next fashion show and we just relax the end of the afternoon.
Today had a great lunch with a dear person at Cafe du Centre. I was really not impressed with their service it was weird because usually that is the place I usually go to eat fish but I guess it was the weekend and they are busy? anyway poor service for a Saturday and I was kind of dissapointed.
After that and passing to the shop, went to see several models for the casting and for the staff and we prepared the new makeup styles that I am hoping to see ...so it was a long day :) still not satisfied, Monday I will continue looking for that specific look I want for Novembers show.
 Back stage

Happy to see all the mails that all the  people are sending me with so much love and the orders of bracelets and necklaces

La Reserve hotel, having just a little break with a nice spa and getting my sketches and Ideas put together . K.V

 My relaxing day, I just lay back for a spa treatment to start all my new collections for my next fashion show and for the store ;), is been such a great day, from facial to massages and a long swim I was ready to have my capuccinos and my cookies and lots of tea.

 Enjoyed that tasty tea and the service at La Reserve I have to say it was great, A lot of details,service and presentation for each spa treatment.
I wanted one of this at my house...:) So the hole Friday in La Reserve, relaxing and just making sketches and taking notes of all my projects to put them together by the end of November .

K.Valdes new Bohemian collection

 Today has been all about creating this New goodies with  different colors and a mix of signs that I love.
 My collection as you can see is based on strings, peace and love, eyes, wood, skulls and a touch of turquoise for the necklaces., For the bracelets it is a mix of wood, jade, turquoise and of course the skulls .
 Here I have the same necklaces put together and a golden thick chain created last week a little bit like a vintage necklace which I love so much I did two of them ;) one for the shop and one for me!.. very elegant and it just gives a touch with whatever you combine it with.
 Yes I attacked the little pearl look with like a vintage touch and the golden necklace next to it.. both of them wore my inspiration last week, plus you cannot really see properly but a string with a orange skull... LOVE that color is coming pretty strongly this winter ...
and my Candy necklace with a nice touch of colors
