The boobs of the girl in the dotted bikini made me laugh out loud. If they were pushed any higher, they'd cover her eyes.

P.S. any reason why you do both comment moderation AND word verification? :) Isn't it one or the other?

Jennifer Fabulous said...

My favorite color!
OMG I want that trench coat SO BAD. Sigh.

zoe aka drinkupthefashion said...

i absolutely love this color.
i sometimes wonder what is the difference between magenta and fuchsia? i think fuschia is brighter and magenta is a bit darker, more purplier--but the colors are very similar.
i'm glad you liked that F21 dress. isn't it so cute? well...more like hot. :)

TheBeautyFile said...

How pretty...each and every last thing on this post! I love Coco Rocha...her red hair goes well with the bright pink!

HiFashion said...

Its such a pretty girly colour, but I am just so scared to wear it. Its too bright for me. Hopefully I'll manage to find a more subtle piece in this colour, possibly those shoes...

Incon said...

magenta is a very bold color but i think will look nice if worn right. I'm still a bit iffy about it tho because it looks a lil too much like pink. I love pink shoes tho. :)

erika sorocco said...

That Notte by Marchesa Strapless Ruffle Dress is the loveliest thing I have ever seen. It makes me think of cupcakes and romance!

OmnisLucis said...

Oh I dyed my hair once and it looked like that....in the sun *yikes* It was red over blond. Corrected back to brown. I was 3 colors in 3 days. It's a wonder it never broke off :D
