Take a { P E E K }

15 July 2009 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

ze peek 007

ze peek 010

{In case you were wondering}

nails: Chanel Nail Lacquer in Rouge Noir No. 18

lips: MAC Viva Glam V lipstick

I had first raved about the Peek here. The last that crossed my mind was actually owning one; but of course I entered Nina‘s giveaway even with the knowledge that I hardly ever win anything. But the [blurry] photos taken above give away (no pun intended) the happy ending; I did indeed win – and the little disbelief-meets-victory dance in addition to a bit of freaking out ensued shortly. My obsession with emailing and adorable little gadgets like ze Peek have been fulfilled. At last.

Oh, did I mention that I love Nina? She is one of my favorite bloggers – one who is gorgeous both inside and out, and has the most enviable hair. Love yah babes! (:

bisous,

La C.

    That’s a cool thing to win, but why does the date on it say Feb. 12? I am really bad at setting the date & time on gadgets, so I’m assuming you hadn’t set yours yet.
    Nice lips, wish I had lips like that.

    it matches you so well, and you make it ever so chic. i hope i’ll be able to see it with you someday (soon)!
