The six-piece, limited edition Essie Winter Collection, clockwise from bottom right: Going Incognito, Luxedo, Masquerade Belle, Smokin’ Hot, Hot Coco and Silken Cord ($8 each or $8 for a six-piece set).
That red and green on the end are kinda Christmasy, right?

I saw these at the Miu Miu store when I was cruising Ala Moana Center today.

I always, always order a small shave ice with lilikoi and lychee syrup with vanilla ice cream, azuki beans and condensed milk whenever I go to Matsumoto Shave Ice on Oahu’s North Shore.

If I could I’d surround myself with orchids 24/7. 🙂
