lusting for: crayola nail polish

July 19, 2012 in fashion

I loved Crayola crayons as a kid, with all those beautiful colours and endless possibilities. Now, that little piece of childhood is available for us to enjoy as adults!

Crayola has released a mini nail polish set and it’s incredibly cute, with perfect colours for summer. Some polishes are glittery, some are metallic and the others are solids. My personal favourites are the robin’s egg blue and plum.

Preorder your set from Fred Flare for $12.

lusting for: inkjet halter dress

April 2, 2012 in fashion

Today was such a beautiful spring day here in Geneva that I went coat-free and bare-legged (though one of my colleagues did comment on the blinding pastiness of my skin. Note to self: review self-tanners.)

I’m already starting to plan for my summer holidays and the new arrivals in my favourite stores seem to be tempting me to plan for them sartorially as well.

One of the loveliest pieces I’ve seen is the Inkjet Halter Dress, which has just arrived at Anthropologie. The design from Dream Daily by Rozae Nichols combines a photo-print on the body, stripes of gorgeous summer colours on the skirt and a fabulous roped halter neck.

Looking at that product shot, I can practically feel the sand between my toes!

The Inkjet Halter Dress is available for $168 from Anthropologie.

lusting for: florals for spring

March 20, 2012 in fashion

Spring has sprung, my friends, can you believe it? The trees have buds, tulips are overflowing in the stores and I am overcome with a desire to deck myself out in pastels and florals (sometimes at the same time!)

While Miranda Priestly may be sarcastic about florals for spring, I’m more than happy to wear prints so flowery that they could trigger my boyfriend’s hayfever.

One gorgeous frock I saw today is actually a bridesmaid dress from BHLDN but it’s too pretty be worn for just one day. The impressionist florals in delicate candy colours couple with the bubble hem and detailed bodice for a fresh look perfect for any spring party.

The In Full Bloom Dress cost $400 from BHLDN and can be bought online or in store.

lusting for: pinterest finds

March 19, 2012 in fashion

I’m beginning to wonder if Pinterest is really such a good thing. Not only do I lose hours of my life looking at pretty pictures but I seem to find a whole lot more items that I “need”.

One such discovery is the Robin Piccone ‘Penelope’ Crochet Overlay One Piece Swimsuit (right). It’s the perfect combination between a bikini and a “cover-my-pasty-white-belly-that-consumed-too-much-fondue-during-the-winter-because-I-live-in-Switzerland-dammit” one piece.

It’s available from Nordstrom (which conveniently now ships worldwide) for US$130 plus shipping. Now we just need to wait for the weather to warm up a little more so that we can show off our new swimwear!

In the mean time, feel free to amuse yourself on The Dernier Cri’s Pinterest page.

lusting for: spring time dress

March 6, 2012 in fashion

It’s that time of year when the weather goes completely nuts. Over the weekend, I was walking around town without a coat but then yesterday, I was caught in a snow flurry! I’m looking forward to the consistently warm days that will be here in just a few short months.

Of course, one of the reasons I’m most looking forward to warmer weather is the chance to wear cute sundresses.

I’m particularly loving the appropriately named Spring Time Dress from Ruche ($38.99). The fuschia colour and pretty folds remind me of a season-fresh tulip – and the dress would be so easy to pull on and slip out for a casual alfresco drink.

What are you lusting for this spring?
