So in case you lovelies have been wondering what we’ve been up to, here’s a quick summary via our Instagram. (Shame if you haven’t been following us! We’re @shoperiin, or you could also follow us on Twitter! ) Although Maisha & I have been going crazy over the launch of ERIIN.com (Are you on the first dibs invite list? If you aren’t in the game, sign up now!), we still celebrated Christmas & New Year’s, with lots of fun in between. The rain through December made it all the more cozier, and our days were filled with lots of road trips, Christmas dinners (which meant a TON of food), party nights, a trip to Universal Studios, while ending 2011 off with fireworks!

We might have gained a bit of holiday weight over the month, but we definitely aren’t complaining. 2011 was a blast, and we’re starting the new year with the launch of ERIIN – exciting, no? It’s also time to get back to the gym / yoga mat / netball court for us, life is so much more fulfilling when you’re healthy & gorgeous.

How did you spend the end of 2011 & start of 2012? x

The success of our eight pretty ladies post has inspired us to continue with yet another eight gorgeous people! It was tough sifting through the ton of requests (not to mention our own huge list of personal favourites) and to choose only 8, but we’ve narrowed them down to these eight major hotties in their full, high-res, black & white glory! What fun!
In case you don’t already know, they are Hidetoshi Nakata, Pharrel Williams, Bradley Cooper, Cam Gigandet, Gerard Butler, Will Smith, Johnny Depp & my personal favourite. Joseph Gordon-Levitt!

Favorite looks from Philip Lim’s Pre-fall 2012 collection – to-die-for & am absolutely in love. Clean lines, with interesting prints. The pop of color adds a punch to the classic, minimalistic pieces – essential wardrobe items that can last for more than one season.
