Something about this lovely Rose Clair Lady Dior—They call it Large, but I beg to differ, ah, but If I were a Japanese gal….maybe 5′4″….well, then it would be Large.

At 5′8,” this looks somewhat diminutive in proportion, so I’ll call it Small.

But……I’ll also call it PERFECT for Valentines Day (or White Day….depending upon which side of the dateline you call home).
The perfect ballet pink, it is almost a neutral. Truly yummy with grey and ivory, white, black or navy, it is a rich and creamy colour that is enhanced by the quilting. We love it in the matte lambskin (the patent variety loses the luxe of the patina) and the silver tone hardware updates it for Spring.

Pair this with a dozen roses, Fella–you’ve got the yyc vote for V-Day Victory. Add a Celestine nightie and robe and We’ll propose to you!

Jessie (really fun to work with and knows her line) at Saks Tyson’s Corner, Virginia also has a Gorgeous (Cupid Worthy) Scarlet number–in the $2800 shopper–really beautiful. Perfect to shove your Godiva booty in my dear.

And, of course, two of the newer options for Spring (Courtesy of Saks’ Dior rep, Jessie) Rosato (it’s a soft pinkish beige) and Begonia–truly what I’d call the PERFECT Valentine Pink!

The style is dubbed the Panarea which might translate into something truly romantic in some language other than French or English….but to me sounds like either a form of Digestive disorder or a Franchised Bread Cafe haunted by high school girls.

Minx nail coverings. Think ‘press on linoleum for your fingernails’……

Okay, the idea is trendy and innovative. Minx offers nifty little dots and colours of foil that ordinary polish doesn’t achieve in affect. (See ‘Pink Cheeta’)….

My ‘nail tech’ (whatever the new politically correct term for manicurist is these days) claims that for $1250 the Minx instructor came to the salon (ostensibly with the heat lamp…whoopee) and taught the application of these babies to the participants who then received certification.

You get a sheet of pre-shaped (trust me, none will fit your nails….) appliques. You warm them up. Cut them with ’stork scizzors’ and away you go. The MINX instructor ‘recommends’ NO TOP COAT (too time consuming after the tech has blown her brains out cutting and pasting that ‘royal stuart’ tartan on your tootsies). That’s Classy.

Pardon my skepticism, but it’s basically a sticker. I mean, with time, even my six year old son could slap these on (If I let him play with scizzors). Matching plaids, however, is another story, but if Minx really wants to impress me, I’ll pay their instructor $1250 to re-paper my kitchen walls. AMEN

Check out their competition.
Apparently patent pending, read ‘em and weep.
