SHE LOVES ONLY GOLD

I love having "goldfinger" nails and I have been searching for the perfect shade of gold for ages. I recently came across "Golden-I" (appropriately titled) by Sally Hansen, and I have been in love ever since. Not too yellowish gold, but a perfect metallic shade of subdued color, this nail polish is fantastic and a number one go-to for bond girl nails.

ELEKTRA KING

Elektra King from The World is Not Enough once said "There's no point living, if you can't feel alive"... Well, one can't feel more alive when skiing, which is why I created this wintery look inspired by Elektra's snow outfit. One of my favorite winter accessories is a fur headwrap, which I am happy to feature as part of this look.

OPI OF THE WEEK; THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH

 

Rating 1-5; 4

I have chosen OPI's "The World is Not Enough" for our color of the week since I will be featuring a TWINE post very soon.. stay tuned!

SNAKE CHARMER

This unique piece of jewelry was designed by Stephen Webster for Swarovski and was worn by Severine in Skyfall. The necklace is available for purchase for $170, in addition to the matching ring, earrings and love knot collection.

However, if the price breaks the bank, online jewelry retailer, Emitations (www.emitations.com), has adapted their own version of the Black Bamboo necklace and earring set for $69.99. A great piece for a great price!

Please COMMENT if you have purchased one of these stunning pieces. We'd love to know what you think!

AGENT FIELDS

This boot and trench combo may be simple, yet timelessly stylish. The perfect trench could last you a lifetime, which is why I chose this classic design Calvin Klein coat. If you don't already have a nice pair of brown boots in your closet, these Nine West calf boots will do the trick!

SEVERINE AT NIGHT

001. Victoria's Secret Chiffon and Lace Kimono - $118/$54

Severine is strikingly sexy and alluring in this night robe, originally designed by Carine Gilson. This almost identical style we love. The Lace Kimono can be purchased for $118, and the sexy slip for $54 (originally priced at $68)

JENNY PACKHAM FOR JCP

Jenny Packham, Designer of Solange's memorable red dress in Casino Royale is making her way into JC Penney's new selection of designers. There is currently a Holiday collection featured online, with a selection of wristlets, cell phone cases, photo frames, cosmetic bags and more at very reasonable prices.

THE NEW BUSINESS CASUAL

We were inspired by Skyfall's Bond Girl Eve's colorful skirt wore at MI6 Headquarters. Who says we can't mix some color with business (especially spy business)? We featured our top business skirt picks inspired by Eve.

Bond Girl "Forever"?

Although receiving positive feedback on Avon's Bond Girl 007 and Bond Girl Forever Fragrances, the retailer has unfortunately called off the manufacturing of the products. Bondettes, have no fear, there may still be ways to land the floral fragrance. Amazon is still offering the bottle for $39.99 (www.amazon.com) and if you happen to get lucky, you may just find a few unopened bottles for sale on eBay (www.ebay.com).

We can say without doubt that the fragrance (which Quantum Bond Girl Gemma Arterton fronted) was one of Avon's best perfumes - Bondettes won't accept anything but the best. Therefore, it might be a good idea to drop Avon a friendly e-mail and tell them how much you enjoyed the fragrance and if they will consider bringing it back for another season.... Never say never!
