As an extension of the Indian influence, nails were painted with Nars nail polish in “Versailles,” a pale gold.

Happy (belated) birthday to poor Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz, who describes his lavish celebration as such: “I was at the Air France lounge waiting to get on the flight to New York, and the airline attendant presented me with a muffin. I think we both felt embarrassed.” [Racked]

Spring’s love affair with all things golden may be the opulence we need to distract us from dreary economic times.  Luckily, a glint of gold does not have to be extravagantly priced.  It’s not about the cost–it’s about catching the eye, and adding something special to the season’s nude palette.
