Chanel Brilliant Lumiere Fluorescent Lip Gloss

Thanks to the ladies at The Purse Forum, it’s been revealed that the Chanel Brilliant Lumiere Fluorescent Lip Gloss does in fact glow under black light! I so, so want this. It’s still available in “Mango Fluo” at Nordstrom online($25), but I believe it is limited edition for summer 2007, so order soon if you’ve got a rave (Paul Oakenfold at the Warfield tonight, anyone?) to attend.

3.1 Philip Lim Blue Short Sleeved Knot Tie Tee

Although I am usually a big one for clothes the hues of the seasons (i.e. golds and browns in autumn) this color of blue is wonderful and vibrant for the crisp days that I am greatly anticipating.  On top of that, a t-shirt that is a little more dressy can be worn to classes, the office (dressed up with a skirt and possibly a cute little blazer), and out shopping is the perfect closet staple.  The knot detailing on the piece gives a comfy basic a lot more personality.  I love Philip Lim because even though I can’t necessarily always afford him, he still inspires me to attempt to be creative with pieces that are already in my wardrobe.

Anna Sui Kissing Leaves Dress

One thing that has always drawn me to Anna Sui is the shiny, happy faces that are in all fashion shows and ads for the brand.  I know that bright blush is Sui’s trademark look, and I like that she portrays her own personal style and preferences in a consistent manner.  Additionally, Sui always makes sure that the colors of fabric flatter many skin tones.  This ivory silk kissing leaves dress is sure to make any skin tone glow, whether you’re an “autumn” or a “spring”!  Its beautiful texture and embroidery ensure that this frock is feminine and lovely.  The baby doll cut keeps it sexy and modern by showing off your legs.

Built by Wendy Wool Tunic

I was pleasantly surprised to see Built by Wendy’s fall line finally pop up on the web site (oh, I haven’t been checking that often …just once or twice a day).  I was especially drawn to this wool tunic in burgundy, natch.  We often think of tunics as being light and swingy, but this piece defies the norm and still looks fabulous.  I love the textured knit of the sweater, and I can see it being worn with a belt over it or as-is.  I love the illustrated look of ¾-length sleeves layered over other shirts!  And plus, how about the gorgeous and talented Robin Tunney modeling the brand?  Fabulous!
