Denim is the ultimate American classic but in 2014, it’s bigger and hotter than ever! Inspired by colored denim, now you can unzip jean couture in a bottle with the latest limited-edition collection from L’Oréal Paris. These unique, denim-ized texture finish nail shades are inspired by bright-colored denim to dress up your 4th of July look. Dressing down is the new dressing up and the fashionistas will be rocking their denim like never before.

The Miss Denim Collection is available for individual purchase at drugstores nationwide until supplies last. (so HURRY up to your local drugstore to pick some up before they are gone!)

I got my hands on 2 of these shades & I am so impressed. Normally – I am not a fan of textured polish but these are really different. They have no shimmer which is a huge plus and they glide on for an easy application. They dry pretty quickly and do not require a top coat BUT I always add a top coat & that did not take away from the textured look at all.

So – what do you think about these shades & the collection in general?  Are you a fan of textured polishes? I have already decided that I absolutely need to get my hands on the Vintage Rose!

As someone who adores accessories, I love coming across shops & online boutiques that I’m not familiar. I was recently introduced to MODERN MIX BOUTIQUE & it was basically love at first sight. Modern Mix Boutique was started in 2012 by a Canadian Lifestyle Blogger named Vanessa. One look at the products she offers on her website and you can tell she has been staying on top of the latest trends. From twine wrap bracelets to bold statement earrings to cuff bracelets – this online boutique has everything the Accessory Fashionista will need to pair with her favorite outfit. I think we can all appreciate a boutique with stylish accessories at an affordable price point.

Here are some of my favorite items from Modern Mix Boutique:

I was able to speak to Vanessa via e-mail and one of the questions I asked was about the pieces she chose and if she planned to bring other types of accessories to the Boutique.

“I chose to begin with jewellery and accessories on Modern Mix Boutique because it was so simple to put together a beautiful collection of products. For now, I’m focusing on gold-toned products because I love the way it matches with bright colours and jewel tones.  To keep our products exclusive, we only bring in a limited selection of pieces.  We carry earrings and bracelets so my customers don’t have to worry about fit and sizing which is often a concern for shopping online – earrings and bracelets are pretty much one size fits all! In the future I may bring in necklaces, rings and other accessories.”
