Fear No more I've gone through the trouble of calculating the combinations and permutations, and a wardrobe of 110 pieces calculates to a total over 65 Quadrillion Possibilities! We could go a life time attempting to try all the combinations and never come close to wearing them all! This realization has spawned the birth of this Blog. Join me on my Possibly Infinite Journey through A Quadrillion and One New Outfits.

I've gone into crafting overdrive... so here's a little of what I've been up to.....<br />
<br />
I saw these leg warmers on<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/261842165806527297/" target="_blank"> Pintrest</a> and decided that I must own them, so I busted out the old crochet hook and made my own look-alike. Whadya think! She was selling them for $85.00, my total supply costs where; 2 skeens of regular yarn 10 NIS/each, two packages of buttons 2.50NIS/each = 25.00 NIS (New Israeli Shekel) divide that by 4 = $6.25 Is how much i paid for my new leg warmers!!! WOOHOOO!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am happy to announce that this morning A Quadrillion and One New Outfits reached <span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><span style="color: #999999;"><b>1000</b></span></u><span style="color: #999999; font-weight: bold;"> </span></span>VIEWS! YAY! I would like to say thank you to all of you for visiting, reading and sharing all my wacky posts! It surely has been an adventure, in that last 6 months with out purchasing a single item of clothing (other than that minty dress) I have discovered a total of 72 brand new outfits that I have never worn before! Is that insane or what? After getting to know my closet I understand what I own and this gave me the ability to get creative and to discover new ways to wear my old clothes! So today I would like to look back and review those 72 outfits and award the top posts and see why they worked so well!!</div>

The first place award goes to the most popular outfit post of all time: <a href="http://quadrillionandone.blogspot.co.il/2012/05/like-good-party-your-clothing-needs-to.html" target="_blank">Like a Good Party Your Clothing Needs to Mingle</a>. At 36 unique pages visits this post has received the most attention out of all the other outfit posts, in my opinion this is probably one of my most important posts containing some of the best wardrobe advice available. In this post I discussed how to reach your wardrobes' full fashion potential, and the importance of mingling your clothing.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the first place winner this post has won a completely new photo shoot with any of the outfits that weren't tried on before!</div>

I should also make a side note that the most viewed post of all time that is not related to outfits is <a href="http://quadrillionandone.blogspot.co.il/2012/07/ocean-goddess-makeup.html">Ocean Goddess Makeup</a>. In which the inspiration for the post was a dream and this was the makeup that I dreamed that I wore. At 54 views this tangent post has received almost double the views that <u><b>Like a Good Party</b></u> has!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This leads me to believe that I should post some more wild makeup applications! Stay tuned in to see more creative ways to do your makeup! </div>

The second place award goes to the outfit that I wore the most in the past 6 months. I know I have learned from blogging that I never have to wear the same thing twice, but I actually adored this outfit so much that I wore it twice! This ensemble and more can be found here: <a href="http://quadrillionandone.blogspot.co.il/2012/06/wear-your-white-for-once.html" target="_blank">Wear Your White For Once</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This outfit encompasses my personality I feel beautiful and confident while wearing it. I strongly believe that in order to feel confident and beautiful your clothing has to be feeling great and fitting right. This is how feeling comfortable in your clothing gives you confidence. The white pants are made from linen so the fabric is light and breathable, they also have a liner so they are not see-through both very comforting features that give me comfort and security that no one can see my underwear. The shirt is a floral masterpiece purchased from the bluenotes spring 2012 line for $15, it's so fun and girly it reminds me of a dress I had when I was five.<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I'm always jealous of the cute little girl sundresses, I wish terribly that they made them in my size</span>, so this shirt captures that nostalgic youth that I'm addicted to. Paired off with Lapis Lazuli Earrings, Pearls, and a sentimental seashell bracelet this look is filled with my personality, and comes off as young elegant and lady like, not at all childish. Thus making this the most perfect outfit ever made!</div>

For winning second place I have attempted to make a three; never worn before, equally amazing outfits for the fall/winter season. While creating the outfits I kept in mind what made this outfit so perfect; comfort, personality & elegance. These outfits are what I came up with for the fall/winter season.<br />

The 3rd place award goes to <a href="http://quadrillionandone.blogspot.co.il/2012/08/precision-with-planned-purchasing.html">Precision with Planned Purchasing</a> for being the most practical advice for updating any wardrobe. A quick survey of what you own will help you understand what colours you love to wear, or maybe what colours that may be missing that you would like to wear. In Precision with Planned Purchasing I spilled some effective wardrobe updating secrets that I have been using for years. I have been using a brainstorm cloud chart for years to help me shop, I find while using the brainstorm chart I avoid buying impulsively, unless it's something that I absolutely must have like this <a href="http://quadrillionandone.blogspot.co.il/2012/06/compulsive-impulsive-disorder.html" target="_blank">poncho</a>, otherwise I usually stick to the guidelines. For winning third place I've finally added an example of what my brainstorm chart looks like! YAY!! Whenever I go out shopping I try to have a version of this chart available to ensure that my purchases will compliment existing wardrobe. </div>

Wow I cannot believe it is November , the weather sure hasn't been convincing the temperature here has been above 30°C all week long, not exactly November weather in my books... My internal clocks however have not been confused, for I have picked up my favourite fall/winter past time crocheting! OOOoooooooo the fun!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This Monday's Manicure is one of my favourite nail art designs! It's quick and easy and it's so cute and fun. This is where I found the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXd_nxlEuKA&feature=plcp">tutorial</a>, she goes by the name "<u><span style="color: #073763;">cute polish</span></u>" I just adore her fun nail art designs! </div>

This manicure was quick and easy to do here are the steps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. paint two layers of black on the tips ,use scotch tape to get really straight lines, I however didn't and they came out fine! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. use white and make the polka dots, I used the end of a small paint brush to make my polka dots</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. paint a line of silver sparkle where the black ends</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. after it was all dry I finished it with a layer of top coat, to protect my cute new manicure and to help it shine! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

The rampage has since stopped, but I assume only temporarily because I've been working on repainting an ugly little melamine, 3 drawer cabinet. </div>

It all started with this shirt, I bought this shirt for my husband about 4 years ago, and he's never worn it... I absolutely love the colour sometimes I think it's orange, sometimes pink, and sometimes red. This rich colour is great for fall, it reminds of warm spices and all the trees back in Canada changing colours. </div>

First things first, I cut open the neck like so <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(left)</i></span>, then I jumped inside and measured out the shape of the skirt <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(below)</i></span>. I wanted a nice midi-length a-line skirt, so I measured accordingly. It's crucial to get the lines straight while pinning to avoid puckering. </div>

I then hem stitched the waistband leaving a section open, and threaded the elastic band that I measured to fit comfortably at just below my hips. To see the easiest way to thread the waistband check out this post <a href="http://quadrillionandone.blogspot.co.il/2012/10/diy-high-low-t-skirt.html">here</a>. After I was sure the elastic waistband was flat with no twists I sewed the ends together and closed up the open section of the top hem. This T-skirt required a little more sewing because of the length, so it took about 2 hours from start to finish. A sewing machine would have cut this time in half.</div>

I would have to say this <b><u>was</u></b> my favourite up-cycled t-skirt until I made number four! This skirt as my husband dubbed it is a bit "shanti", a Hindi word we picked up from our travels in India meaning relaxed, cool and calm. Which is certainly appropriate it's soooo comfy and the intense orange-red ocher color reminds me of saffron, saris, Babas and sadhus of India. </div>

My mother has always encouraged & inspired me, she really was the greatest mother any girl could ask for. She constantly supported my hyper active creative brain by captivating my mind with endless arts, crafts, puzzles, books and science projects! With out her continuous love and support I most certainly would not be the person I am today!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Often times when I was a kid I remember myself whining,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"MOOooommmm, I'mmmmm boOOoored....."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her response was always the same, so I've made a quote poster for my quotable Mom! I love you Mom, thank you for always inspiring me!</div>

For the past year or so I've been obsessed with having one finger nail painted a different colour that contrasts or coordinates, the odd one out is usually my pinky or ring finger. I love with this manicure and I'm sure it will look good as almost any color combo. <br />
I was at my friend's the other day and we showed her mom that we both had our nails painted with one finger a different colour, her mom looked at us like we were crazy. We both giggled and we knew that the trend was clearly awesome and <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>t</b></span><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">he fact that she didn't think it was cool made it cooler. </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"> </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">In order to create this look I started with two coats of the colours that I chose to be the base. </span>I waited until the next day to paint the tips because I just don't have the patience to wait for <span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>5</b></span> coats to dry. So the day after I painted my nails with the base colours, I taped off my tips diagonally with some scotch tape, and painted on two coats of black. I then carefully removed the tape with an up and backwards motion while the nail polish was still quite wet. After the 2 layers of black dried I applied a layer of top coat to add shine and to help protect my manicure! I love this look I think this manicure has attitude and personality. It's fun bold colours and it's funky design is full of edginess and energy! </div>

I am happy to tell you all that I have yet another <b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Emily's T-skirt Tutorial</span></u></b> to share with everyone of the inter-webs. This is the first of 3 T-skirts I've made on my up-cycling rampage. For this T-skirt I wanted a comfy skirt, to get stuff done around the house in.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A couple weeks ago I asked my husband if he was ever going to wear this shirt again, he said</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"No."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I tossed into the bag with all the other T-shirts that are awaiting for a re-purposed life. I love how soft the sweater like material is, I knew that one day it would become something great!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first thing I did to make my new T-skirt, is lop off the sleeves from armpit to armpit in a nice straight line. I kept the top piece that I cut off, I think it could make a cute cropped sweater shrug............</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From there I tried on the tube and measured how short I'd like the skirt to be and folded the waistline hem accordingly, I then hem stitched it almost all the way, leaving a section open to thread the elastic waistband. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I couldn't find a safety pin so I attached a pipe cleaner to the end of the waistband instead and pushed it through the waist hem by scrunching the fabric like this and then pulling it through. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
OH, I also attached this little stationary clip to the tail end so it wouldn't pull through while I was threading the waistband. </div>

Once I had completed threading the waist band I attached another clip like this (above left pic) and was able to flatten any flips in the waistband without the elastic slipping back inside. Once I was sure the elastic band was nice and flat I sewed the two ends together. (above right pic)</div>

SOOOo to satisify this trend craving I have been having, I have made one, and have decided to share with you all how simple it really is! </div>

<b><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">After this week I don't think my husband will leave me alone with his T-shirts. </span></b>This is my 3rd skirt in less than 24 hours, I've been on an "up-cycling" kick since yesterday, and it just has not stopped.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is how I did it, I found an old black L-sized t-shirt kicking around. Any size will do as long as you can fit your widest part into it's widest part, the T-skirt will work!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once inside I was able to pin the shirt snugly around my curves. Make sure your t-shirt material has a nice stretch to it, this way you won't need a zipper to get in and out of it! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I then sewed up one side then tried it on, I would have re-pined if necessary I didn't, so I sewed up the other side. Now just a note here, I am currently without a sewing machine, so this step would normally take about 2 minutes on a machine, but took me by hand about 15 minutes a side to double stitch. I chose to double stitch because I wanted the material to be snug and with a double stitch I am given the security that my butt's not about to rip out of my handmade t-skirt.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am doing it all by hand so I choose to "lighting stitch" where I thread 6 - 12 stitches in the time I would do one or two normal ones. Lightening stitch also helps me sew in straight lines which can be hard free handed. The pic below is an example of lightening stitch. I lightening stitched the hem stitch.... not necessarily a good idea, but fast. The hem stitch came out okay, not my best by any means, but it works.... it's a free t-skirt!</div>

I put the skirt back on and fold down the top to make the waistline hem and I pinned it into place. I used a hem stitch for the top so the stitched won't be visible from the other side. I didn't sew the waist line shut, I left it open so I could thread through an elastic waist band. </div>

I know I missed Monday by a day, but ohhhh well it's been a rough week, I had to see my husband off to the army. This morning's manicure is with one of my favourite polishes, it's a beautiful holographic paint with what I would like to nano-sparkles. These nano-sparkles bring to life the rainbow effect! I applied to different stamping patterns that had similar lines.<br />

If you know me you'll know that I'm dress obsessed, and since I moved to Israel, I've actually ended up wearing less dresses than I used to.... Israel is an extreamely casual country, I mean I'm sitting here (right now) in a professional, respectable workplace, and there are women walking around in tube tops, beach covers, haviannas, jeans, hot shorts and mini skirts. I know this attire would never fly in any workplace in Canada except maybe inside a strip club. But I mean there are some justifications, it is a hundred million degrees outside, and wearing anything but flip flops right now is close to insane but there is just a level of professionalism that you grow to expect from a bussiness place. Sooooo needless to say that people here regularly dress like they are at the beach weather they are or not. </div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> Dressess are usually reserved for the religious, unless they are extremely revealing and I actually dispise wearing revealing dresses. I have however finally decided that I no longer care about the religious stigma that comes with wearing a dress, in this country. I will wear them and love them and look fashionable not religious while doing so. Soooo since I've decided to wear my old dresses in a new way, I had to find some fun fresh new ways to wear them!!</span>

What do you think of when you hear Mediterranean Style? I think of sunshine, the French riviera, Casablanca, Greek Islands, Blue and White, delicious coffee, amazing perfumes, museums, historic art, statues, Italy, turquoise waters, terra cotta tiled roofs, sunsets, and sailboats, Ancient Ruins, and Roman Aquaducts. So I imagine Mediterranean Fashion to be just as grand as all the antiquities, to me this spells high fashion, living and loving!</div>

Wow it's October already! Today for the first time since April it rained here in the sunny city of Ra'anana. The first few showers of fall are always so refreshing, I cannot even imagine how happy all the trees and plants must be, but you can almost hear them singing! The first rains always happen after Rosh Ha Shana (the new year) around Sukkot and they work in an almost spiritual way, cleansing the country from the dry dust and blistering heat. Preparing the country for a fresh clean start for the new year. After about five months with out rain, seeing it the first few times always makes me smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This morning's manicure is a stamp combination that I call the romance design. I recently bought a beautiful dusty rose colour so it was actually the colours that inspired the stamp combination. The look turned out to be feminine, soft and romantic. I think it's one of my favourite manicures so far!</div>

I named this look, Night Sk<b>eyes</b> inspired by the colours of dusk, just after the sun has set when the sky glows a beautiful pinky purple. In this make-up application I have tried to recapture the same effect complete with sparkling stars! I applied an extra thick layer of eyeliner from my pupil line to the outer edge to make the "horizon" and blended 4 colours to create the night sky effect. I apply the almost matte white ever so lightly on my inner eye and under the arch of my brow, this helps make my eyes appear larger! For the sparkly stars effect I used the light pink mineral eye shadow with very large pieces of mica, when blended over top the other colours I think it looks like stars that have just started to sparkle in the dusk night skies. </div>

Nail Stamping is revolutionizing nail art. This high tech beauty equipment is fun and so easy to use. It took me some practice to get the hang of applying the patterns straight, but a couple of tries and I quickly improved. I love how quick it is compared to nail art itself, which can take quite a bit of time. So this week's nail stamp is inspired by this fall's wild side. The fashion runways have been full of animal print this fall/winter season, which I think looks rich and decadent! I love all animal prints which one is your favorite????</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">So it's September 19th and the temperature here still hits over 30°C daily, so in my ongoing quest too look my best and feel my best, I've devised a plan to keep me cool as the sun continues to cook us in the Mediterranean . This post is the third and final installment of</span><b style="text-align: justify;"><u> Look Hot Stay </u></b><span style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Cool</u></b>. I am using probably one of the most comfortable lightweight casual tank tops out there, to create looks that will keep me cool and fashionable!</span><br />

The above look is certainly not for everyone but it's a fun bright look that I most certainly love! This ensemble is a head turner due to the volume of high voltage pink. When I feel like I need attention I will be wearing this outfit!<br />

I would like to make a special mention to a very special friend, who actually owns this gorgeous PRINCE vintage tennis skirt. Her name is Sarah and she has an awesome blog that you should definately check out! Her pictures are beautiful and inspiring! Find Sarah's Blog here: <a href="http://www.youmademesmile.ca/" target="_blank">You Made Me Smile </a> About ten years ago when Sarah and I and our closets lived much closer together, I like a younger sister would help myself to Sarah's clothing, and this is one peice that never made it back to Sarah's Closet! Sorry Sarah you can totally have your skirt back! This skirt is something special, I have been wearing it for 10 years and it's still in the same condition that Sarah found it in, at Value Village, PERFECT! Check out those cute vintage buttons!!! This skirt is excellent when I am in the mood to look sporty which is great for a casual weekend afternoon! This look is definitely cute, girly, fun and energetic totally me! I paired it with hoop earrings and some neutral gladiator sandals to keep the look simple yet complete, making this the Ultimate Look Hot Stay Cool Outfit!<br />

Surprise! Today's segment of Monday Morning Manicure Madness happens to fall on a Sunday evening. Tomorrow I will be working extremely early in the morning, and that is why I am posting now. I've been working more than usual, this week was particularly crazy, hence no posts until today :( </div>

Today's Manicure is a super fun, modern, geometric print that I just love! This manicure actually lasted almost 2 weeks without any major chips! I applied the nail art design with my stamping kit, find it here: <a href="http://quadrillionandone.blogspot.co.il/2012/08/monday-morning-manicure-madness.html" target="_blank">(the first ever Monday Morning Manicure Madness)</a> I always make sure to use my favourite top coat <u>Lasting Finnish Pro</u>, by <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RIMMEL LONDON</span>. I love it because it is; rather inexpensive ( I bought mine on sale for $3), it's; <b>mega</b> shiny, spreads smoothly, dries evenly, and <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">it does last for the advertised 10 days!</span></span> I would certainly recommend this top coat to anyone who is serious about making their manicure last.</div>

Good Morning & Good Monday to you! This week's Manicure Madness is all about simplicity! I was having an emergency, <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"> I RAN OUT OF NAIL POLISH REMOVER ON SHABBAT!! </span>(that means everything here but gas stations and variety stores are <b><u>CLOSED</u></b>) So I needed a simple quick manicure to cover up and protect my nails for the weekend. I applied two layers of black nail polish and I let it dry for about 20 minutes then I applied my favourite chunky sparkly nail polish over top, it has two different glitter sizes in a rainbow of colours! The next day (so I wouldn't have to wait a year for them to dry) I applied a top coat to protect and add shine. I just love the look and the effect, it reminds me of clear night sky, filled with all the sparkly stars! </div>

It is always a challenge to feel comfortable in your clothing and when the thermometer is about to burst outside, this challenge only increases in difficulty! That is why while working through the quadrillions of possible new outfits today we continue our focus on <span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">looking hot</span> and <span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">staying cool</span>.</div>

This shirt made from a micro magic material, is heavenly soft, and is as light as a feather, making it the perfect stay cool top. I've compiled an assortment of different looks for different occasions, so I can stay comfortable on these last few days of scorching summer.

While choosing which bottoms to <u><b>Look Hot and Stay Cool</b></u> with , I looked for other light weight materials and natural fibers; like cotton or linen they dry the fastest and are more breathable than any poly based fabric. More air flow = more comfortable. Skirts are an obvious choice nothing beats the comfort (and air flow) of a flowy skirt! </div>

Sandals are a must for me, my feet haven't seen the dark insides of socks in MONTHS, and if I had it my way I'd never wear a sock or nylon again... but... I'm not quite there yet, <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">so until then Sandals all the way everyday!</span><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"> </span>(or until it gets too cold for tropical temperature lovin' toes)<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"> </span>My feet act as a sort of thermostat for the rest of my body, I don't know if everyone's (feet) work like this but it's a theory of mine. So... If my feet are too hot, all wrapped up in socks and what not I know I'm going to cook, so I avoid socks at all costs. But maybe that's just me, I like my toes to run free! </div>

My cousin dislikes pink and brown together, but the colour combo is retro, and I think Pink and Brown are great together! What do you think, Do <span style="color: magenta;">Pink</span> &<span style="color: #7f6000;"> Brown</span> work well together?</div>

<span style="color: #93c47d; font-size: large;"> Good Morning</span> this morning's segment of <b>Monday's Manicure Madness</b> showcases a lovely floral nail stamp design! Nail stamping is a fairly simple process, but it takes a bit of practice to get it right. This is my first try using my new stamping kit, and it worked just as well as my Konad nail stamping kit. Apparently room temperature plays a big factor in nail stamping, in my cool air conditioned living-room, I <u>could not</u> stamp my nails. The moving cool air made it impossible to stamp because the nail polish kept drying way too quickly it would either dry; on the stamper before I could stamp it or on the sheet after I scraped it. AARRGGG! But I don't think this will be a problem in a home with central air, unless it's an ice box inside your house or you have a fan pointing at you. I was however able to successfully stamp my nails in my warmer un-air-conditioned kitchen. Once in a non breezy environment, stamping went smoothly and easily!</div>

So the summer is nearing it's end, but it's still scorching here with temperatures hitting 40 Celsius daily it's hard to stay cool. If you ask me it's actually much too hot for clothing, but as much as I would love getting away with wearing my bikini all day everyday it's just not an option. That is why today I will begin a three part series named <b><u>Look Hot Stay Cool</u></b>, where I will find hidden ways to stay comfortable and still look fashionable! </div>

So in my quest to Look Hot an Stay Cool, I found this lovely little tank top on sale for half price. I picked it up off the rack and my husband shared with my how cute he thought it was, a buying sign, so quickly tried it on and then I was sold. It is by S.wear, a brand made by Hanes clothing, it's basically the most comfortable clothing on the face of the earth, and it's not all pajamas, although most of it I would classify only acceptable to wear while exercising, sleeping, beaching, or cleaning. Which is obviously a huge hit here, because Israel is probably one of the most casually dressed populations I have ever encountered. The weather here during the summer is not bearable for most, just wearing a necklace can make me feel sweaty and uncomfortable and if my shoes are too warm, I'm gonna cook... and forget wearing my hair down, I might as well be wearing a fur coat... so it's hot here... I like it.. actually I love it... there is nothing like blistering heat, I'm usually cold so I like when it's HOT. But to Look Hot and Stay Cool is a brand new Lesson for me. <span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: x-large;">I used to think Fashion & Beauty was suffering</span>, no pain no gain. Well friends I am here to tell you that it's not all true..</div>

It's a professional nail stamping set that they usually don't sell to the public, but my darling husband used his wily charm and the lady at the beauty wholesaler to sold it to him!!! I'm the luckiest wifey ever <3 So with this new stamping kit there are 101 individual stamps, and that pretty much means endless possible combinations, and hours of entertainment!

Today's manicure is "kitty kitty" by Sally Hanson Nail Effects... Okay I know I'm obsessed with these, but you have to check these out! I whole-heartedly doubted that nail stickers would work but a couple of my girlfriends told me that I had to try it. So I bought a couple packages from the local Walmart while I was in Canada, they were actually on sale for $6.79, so I ended up buying 4 to bring back here, to Israel. I was sure that Israel wouldn't have this sort of fabulous-ness. I was wrong, I did find them one day in the mall. BUT they cost 50+ shekels, which is just about double of what I paid for them back in Canada, but if you ask me that is still not a bad price for the quality of this product. </div>

Now I've always know I've had a serious shoe Fetish at times in my life it has become an addiction, when I would chose to buy the latest styles instead of paying my credit card... anyways.. I'm far past those days of debt from shoe overdoses, and I am able to take a step back and not just buy buy buy I dunno what happened, but the addiction stopped and now I'm just obsessed. ;) I've always been somewhat of a control freak, so it only makes sense that I got things 'under control' again.</div>

Nowadays, I spend when I want too, and it's not very often, but when I do, I'm so much more happier than before... So as a recovering shoe-aholic, it is important for me to follow the rules and not just go on spending sprees, but to shop with purpose, and have a specific idea of what you are looking for... </div>

I was looking into my shoe closet here at home, and I noticed that it was looking kinda drab not at all like the rest of my wardrobe.. Neutral coloured shoes are great they match just about everything, but I'm not joking every single pair of shoes in my shoe closet were of a neutral shade, there was not a single colour to be found. I was quite surprised since I think I'm so outgoing, loud and colourful, I would assume I would own some fun colourful footwear as well... but sadly this was not the case... </div>

So that day I went to the mall with a mission, to find a pair of brightly coloured shoes that will mesh into my wardrobe. Since I started this blog, I've had the chance to really learn and to get a feel for my wardrobe and it's contents, which helps me no matter what I am shopping for.

Needless to say I was obviously successful, I found such a great pair of shoes and they are such a bright Aqua blue, they are awesome little peep toe wedges, and they were only 50 shekels ($12) Woohoo! <a href="http://www.togoshoes.co.il/" target="_blank">TO GO</a>, one of my favorite <u>inexpensive</u> shoe retailers was having an end of season sale! I love this time of year! I know that most of the shoes will go down to 30 shekels in about a week or two and at this time I will go back for more, <span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">my inner addict just cannot resit an eight dollar pair of shoes!</span></div>

I don't think I can go wrong with aqua, it's my <i><b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">favourite colour.</span></b></i> I own quite a bit of aqua accessories and clothing so I know my boldly bright blue shoes will be put to good use. Understanding what I own, what I wear and what accessories I have; helped me pick out the perfect pair of shoes. Being familiar with my wardrobe knowing what I do have and what I might be missing helps me make purchases that will work well with my closet and it helps me to avoid making impulsive purchases. <b>Precision with Planned Purchasing</b>, involves goal making which provides me with direction so I don't get lost in the endless possibilities available to me. At the end of the day I felt a guilt free satisfaction in knowing that my new shoes were a good planned purchase. </div>

<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> look into your wardrobe find what's missing, eg. brightly coloured shoes, accent scarf, bold bracelet, button blouse, camisole etc your name it! add the missing items to the chart as bubbles under what ever colours you would like</span></li>

We all have that old dress that sits in the back of our closet just waiting for the day we decide to bust it out..... but it just never happens.. why could this be??? I've been trying to figure it out, and here is what I've come up with. I bought this dress for a new year's eve dinner proabably about four years ago now, it's actually only been worn out in public about twice if I remember correctly.<br />

I think I never wear it because just by itself it's way too dressy, and both times I wore the exactly the same way, the way I bought it, no extra personality added... now I don't always feel the need to add "personality" to a dress, but when you've become bored of your dress, it's time to find it's full potential and arrange some new ways to wear it!<br />

Once I started mixing and matching my dress with my accessories, I realized that there were many more ways to wear this simple dress than i could have ever realised. This dress was very simple to make new outfits with because it is completely plain, neutral with very little detail. Which gave me freedom to mix and match colours with ease.<br />

Can you believe that when I was buying this dress I was actually worried
that I wouldn't have anything that would match with it!?! Bringing it home
right away and matching it with the items I already own, made me feel confident
that my latest purchase was a great one! A summery trend right now is to layer
many many necklaces that are similar but different. I tried this look out a
couple time with this dress. The single necklace outfit is more streamlined and
simpler and a little fancier than the layered look. Layering the necklaces gave
the dress a more casual, earthy bohemian feel. Which look do you like better?</div>

This dress has the incredible ability to appear very fancy or just semi- casual, which means I will be more likely to wear it. How fancy I look will only depend on the accessories that I pair with the dress. This is why I really played around with my accessories to find new ways to wear them. I particularly love this look just below, I layered pretty much all of my gold chains that I own and paired it with a less expensive brass pendant wing necklace, and the look is boho-fabulous with a little shine. A great daytime/ lunch time outfit! </div>

This dress does wonders for my ridiculously square shoulders. The dress's asymmetrical design cuts diagonally across the widest part of my shoulders, which makes them look more petite. (a super great thing when you feel blockish and square like me )<br />

So I know my blog is usually about finding new outfits from old things, and trying to be thrifty with your money. But a beautiful dress, at a sale price, with a friend that was chanting adoring & encouraging words I was practically set up. So glad I did, you have to treat yourself once in awhile, how else are you supposed to stay straight? </div>

<span dir="LTR"></span><span dir="LTR"></span> I named this colour combo Tequila Sunreyes,
because it's so fun, bright and summery.(and it's colours reminds me of a sunrise) I think it looks great when I have
tanned skin. (this is tanned for me) I really like this combo, because it makes
my Hazel eyes look bright green, which is uber sexy. To create Tequila Sunreyes
I used 6 different shades. Take a look at these
beautiful colors! I love the ombre effect it's just gorgeous. After applying
the ocean goddess makeup the other day, I felt so inspired to dramatize other
colour combinations.</div>

I wonder if I have any more wild makeup applications up my sleaves... I think I am also gaining inspiration from watching TRUE BLOOD, I just love how they do the Vampire makeup. </div>
