Bill Murray stars as a deteriorating American actor finding himself in the midst of mid-life crisis while working in Tokyo. A young college grad and wife to an absent celebrity photographer husband, played by Scarlett Johansson, piques his interest when he encounters her at the hotel bar. Their connection and ensuing relationship demands the analysis of loneliness, fidelity, love, and...

This week we were inspired by TIFF and all the glitz and glam it brings to our city! We always love accessorizing any outfit with some sparkly gold accessories, especially when they're from one of our favourite jewellery designers Anita Ko, so why not add a subtle hint of bling to our nails as well?

Have a good holiday Monday everyone!
