Don't you love these pretty pastels for spring?

Joe's cheery hues are a steal at $4 CAD each or 3 for $10.

Or splurge on Chanel's Le Vernis limited edition polishes for $23 USD each.

The colour palettes for both collections are very similar and are coming out mid April and May (respectively). Which would be your pick?

Chanel has opened up a new makeover concept at Holt Renfrew's Toronto Flagship location on Bloor. Cinq a Sept, is open Thursdays and Fridays from 5-7pm where you can book appointments for $75 to come down by yourself or with some girlfriends and get gussied up before your night out. $75 includes your makeover, complementary mocktails and $75 worth of Chanel makeup.

NADA has long been one of my favourite designers. The clothes are always sophisticated and sexy. You don't have to work to interpret them. This season however, it's a little bit different. Instead of showcasing at Toronto's LG Fashion Week next week, Nada Shepherd treated the media to a 3D video presentation at Cineplex in advance.

When we first got wind of OPI's Shrek inspired collection Shrek Forever After, thoughts of swamp water green or earwax orange came to mind. Not that founder Suzi Weiss-Fischmann has anything but impeccable taste, it's just... if the collection is based on farty swamp dwelling ogres it's hard to imagine it would be so fresh and lovely!

Here are a few of our favourites...

So I've been thinking... If Marayna hits the posing wall, it would be quite unfair to have anyone posing against her wouldn't it?

I mean honestly. What chance could the other poser possibly have of beating her?

Girlfriend looks like she stepped out of a photo shoot every day.

Sigh...
All I can say is, this is how it's done, Wenches. This...

When I got an email from Ritual 2 Spa saying they were the first in Toronto to carry I Love My Muff products and would we like them to send over some samples, I said what anyone who still enjoys the occasional bathroom humour would say: Please send them over immediately.

This kit contains exactly what it suggests: Wipes, lotion, spray and cleanser for your um... love box.
