    Event LOVE: @Valentine_K Official S/S12 Launch

    Last week, we celebrated Valentine K’s second season of cozy cashmere sweaters and it was glorious! The spring/summer 2012 collection features lightweight cashmere pullovers, cardigans and hooded sweaters in a variety of colors ranging from citrine, georgia peach (my fave!), pink icing, ocean blue, lavender purple, and navy stripes.

    Lauren McLachlan-Valentine K Designer

    “This season, I chose shades that jump off the rack. The leathers all have a vintage feel, which is very keeping with the line itself. The Grandpa patch is special to me because when I found the print, it reminded me of my cottage-a place I love and am always inspired by,”- Lauren McLachlan

    I just want them all 🙁

    lovely chatting with Roula and Christiana

    fun times 🙂

    that dip was to die for…

    “The pairing of sugary sweet colours with rustic feeling textures is unexpected. I love that by adding an accent, you take a simple sweater and turn it into something special.”- Lauren McLachlan

    omg the leopard print detail… LOVE.

    We also got a sneak peek of the F/W12 Collection!

    Valentine K is sold at TNT in Montreal and Toronto, Canopy Blue and Dew in Toronto, Bannermans in Peterborough, LYNNsteven in Vancouver, and Alene Too in Boca Raton, Florida.

    Thank you for inviting me, I loved the entire collection!

    Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Infrared Matte

    Smashbox-Be-Legendary-Lipstick-in-Infrared-Matte

    @Smashbox has recently redone their packaging to look sleeker and chicer… Love! I received the Be Legendary Lipstick in Infrared Matte at The MakeUp Show preview event a few weeks ago. This lipstick is a jam packed with color, like you’d expect. It’s a true red with a matte finish.

    Worn without lipliner, applied straight from the tube after a light coat of lip balm.

    I’m a matte lipstick kind of gal and this one passes my test. The shea butter in this lipstick gives just about as much moisture you can expect from a matte lipstick. Color stayed put most of the day with a touch up in the late afternoon after I ate lunch but for the most part, great staying power. I recommend this shade for most skin tones but especially medium skin tones since it is a true red. Not something I’d say is a must-have for me nor would I whip out $19 for this at a moment’s notice but it’s definitely a smashing color if you’re looking for a good true red with staying power.

    If you’re a fan of sleek packaging, you’ll love this. You can purchase this $19 tube at Sephora.

    xo, June 🙂
