Summertime makes me love the look of hot pinks, corals and other bright shades for my nails. For this installment of Polish of the Week, POTW, I chose to go with a pretty China Glaze shade.

China Glaze I Wanna Lei Ya has been in my stash since last year but it’s only now that I’ve used it. The shade is a blend of coral and pink – quite lovely and perfect for summer.  It’s a creme formula that has a tiny bit of silver shimmer. Application was easy though you would need two or more coats to get it even. As always, I followed it up with Seche Vite top coat.

I’m a total handbag lover and I have quite a few handbags that I adore (quality over quantity!!) and so I thought it would be fun to showcase a few of them, by designer, once in a while. Of course, I couldn’t not start off with one of my favorite designers! ;)

All my friends and family know I’m a huge Marc Jacobs fan. I can’t get enough of his quirky style and fabulous accessories.  He continually creates fabulous handbags season after season that are definitely worthy of their price tags.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Luxy Zip Clutch ‘Mustard‘ (my current wallet)

As you can see my MJ collection is quite modest, to say the least. My biggest splurge (so far) has been the Stam (bought in 2007) and I absolutely cannot get enough of that bag. It’s a stand out in my handbag collection and one I can see myself using until I’m 80 hah.

I’ve yet to find another Marc Jacobs handbag that I “need” enough to get. Although I do adore his current line, I some how always manage to talk myself out of getting it for some reason. One of these days it won’t be so easy for me to walk away! ;)
