HIGH Maintenance: Coming Up Roses With Dior!

MimiFrouFrou.com

Ladies, spring is coming and you will soon be able to smell the roses…and your rose-scented nails! Dior has debuted their spring collection called Garden Party and the collection features two spring inspired limited edition nail shades that, according to their website, will leave your nails with a rose aroma after drying. Now, Dior is not the first to have scented nail polish but the polishes are quite beautiful. Waterlily is a soft, mint green with a hint of shimmer, while Forget-Me-Not is a gorgeous, lilac purple that is a bit darker than the usual pastel color.

Are you interested in having rose scented nails for spring? The polishes retail for $23 each and can be purchased at Dior.com and high-end department stores such as Nordstrom.

Get the Dior Garden Party Nail Polish here. If you happen to try the new fragrant polish, tell me about it!

HIGH Fashion: Jason Wu Is Coming To Target!

If you don’t know by now, on February 5th, the Jason Wu for Target Collection will be sold online and in stores. Hopefully, Target has prepared for the onslaught of excited fashionistas that are sure to hit up the stores and the site (me included) while avoiding the crisis that happened when the Missoni for Target collection was in stores a few months ago. The demand was so huge that Target’s web site crashed in a matter of HOURS and Target stores were selling out of pieces in an almost equal short period of time.

Well, on to the good news! The Jason Wu line features dresses, fun accessories and chic mix-and-match separates. The pieces are sophisticated yet playful, and equally chic. The line actually looks as though it was designed based on nautical inspiration such as heavy splashes of navy and red and some mustard yellow thrown in, which I love!  I see myself wearing the items anywhere from work to brunch to cocktail parties and happy hour. Another great, AMAZING plus: the prices are most fabulous! Items range from $19.99 to $59.99 for clothes and $19.99 to $49.99 for accessories.

The lookbook was already posted online a few weeks ago. I am already prepared for this exciting shopping experience – there are a few pieces I have my eye on that I plan to get February 5th! This limited edition collection will only be in stores from February 5th to March 6th.

To check out the lookbook (and select which pieces you want ahead of time), click here. Make sure to check back in with us later on next week to find out if I was able to get my hands on some of the goodies!
