1.  Pampering. Today I'm getting my nails done by the lovely Leah Light. Leah always does an amazing job and it is always great to catch up with her. I'm sure future me will tell you that I am going to love my new nails!

2. This lipstick; Heroine from MAC's limited edition, Reel Sexy range, $40. This colour was the favourite among kiwi fashion bloggers and I was lucky to get one of the last in this shade. There are also some gorgeous apricots and peachy pinks available so do go check them out.

3. Anna Wintour, goddess to fashion. A friend and I were discussing how Anna says some of the most fashionably insightful things this week. Here's an excerpt of Wintour's wisdom:

Today's Monday Muse is the one and only Anna Wintour herself! A lot of people who fear fashion, or don't understand it live in fear of Anna who is often nicknamed the Ice Queen. Anna is someone I really respect and admire firstly for her success within the Fashion Industry and the enormous influence she holds. Also her achievements at Vogue such as being the first magazine to feature celebrities on the cover and her launch of the CFDA fund which helps young designers get a kick-start are both admirable.


Here's some of my favourite quotes from Anna: "It's always about timing. If it's too soon, nobody understands. If it's too late, everyone's forgotten."

-For more Anna influence I recommend you watch 'The September Issue' a documentary behind the scene of Vogue's grandest issue of the year, read 'Front Row: Anna Wintour' Jerry Oppenheimer's unauthorised autobiography or watch 'The Devil Wears Prada' who's title character is believed to be based on Anna Wintour.
