Tom Binns Disney Couture

“I would rather have eyes that cannot see; ears that cannot hear; lips that cannot speak, than a heart that cannot love”

Tom Binns has yet to create a piece for Disney Jewelry that does not take me back to a time of lighthearted laughter fun and easy going playfulness. His Disney couture designs some how capture the whimsical fantasy of Alice in Wonderland but still manage to sprinkle sophistication making it suitable for even those out of junior high. 

   His latest edition, Disney Couture Hearts necklace. A beautiful cascade of chain layered black hearts. Available for pre-order here, for the girl who is over wearing her heart on her sleeve, she wears not one but many of all the hearts shes conquered. 

Certainly Not A Last Resort-Lanvin Resort 2011

H&M Fight Against AIDS Campaign

Sold through the Divided youth departments, the collection for both guys and girls will encompass the whole festival experience, from clothes and accessories through to tents and sleeping bags, all the while raising funds to promote the message of safe sex.

Snake Charmer

“Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.”

Rings are a fun accessory that not only can be used to decorate your outfit, but they're able to convey a message. Wether the message comes from an engagement finger that says I'm married or a divorce ring, that according to Lisa Bower can symbolizes hope, freedom, and a new beginning. I have collected a few rings over time now, and while I wouldn't say I've purchased one particular ring to express a specific message, I'm a lover of big intricate statement pieces be it jewelry clothing or accessories and interesting pieces always catch my eye. Recently, spotted on some unique fashionistas was this amazing Adderbite Snake Ring by Alchemy. Two finger rings, are all thats on my mind right now, and this rings does it in such a clever way for a great price $45! Below, is the matchless snake ring of my dreams which Im hoping arrives this week and as far as what message it conveys.....FEARLESS.

The Best Damn Eyebrow Tutorial, Period.

I have been asked about what I do, to my eyebrows in regards to makeup and maintenance a few times.  and its very simple. First I should tell you, I am extremely anal when it comes to my eyebrows, because I have a large face and I feel a thick, squared shape suits me best. Everyone has had their hair removal horror stories, but I can tell you exactly how I want my eyebrows in English, Spanish and Cantonese. Once the strays are removed, I use powder and an angled brush and fill in where they thin out. I've tried stencils, razors, and threading (which by the way I will never ever ever do again, Im quite partial to pain but that was just unbearable to me personally) but with very fine eyebrows, waxing seems to give me the best result with the least amount of pain, but of course do what works best for you to achieve your desired result.

  I could try to describe in a million words what to do but without a proper video tutorial it wouldn't be much fun. The bad news is, after a recent trip I am terribly sun burned and I will not be recording anything not even a voicemail! Now for the good news, I have found the *QUEEN* of all eyebrow tutorials!! Seriously, its incredibly easy and produces neat natural glamorous results. I of course wouldn't post with out trying first, I loved the results and think you will too. Check it out and let me know if this works for you or what your eyebrow tricks of the trade are.

Watchmen

This summer, aside from the enormous embellished bibbs, the colossal editor statement rings, and all the joy bling can bring, earrings. One of the most important classic items you can sport is a great watch. Classic in a traditional staple sense however, anything but boring.  While gold watches are a time honored tradition, big face gold finish models are being seen everywhere from national fashion campaigns, such as Michael Kors, catwalks as well as sidewalks. Ranging in all prices, whether you're choice is simple or over the top you're sure to find something in your price range and to your liking. I am a fan of large face watches and like them to hang a bit, and if this is your preference also, my suggestion would be purchase a mens watch and have a few links removed at your local jeweler. Above are a few twist on the standard style!

Hair Party 24

Imagine its New Years Eve at 11:30 and you had to work a double shift. You've had no time for a proper blow out and a manicure was just not attainable with your wacky work hours. You of course want to bring the New Year in with a bang and possible double process highlights and UV gel french tips. Sound like a dream, Or even a nightmare?! Well not anymore!
 I recently hooked up with one of my favorite girlfriends and a  long time friend who had moved out of town. With all of our conflicting schedules it was hard enough to pick the perfect timing for dinner let alone, after dessert festivities. It was decided that we would check out the newest sensation in New York, 24 hour salons. We made out way over to Madison Avenue and 28th street to Hair Party 24, who had been visited by the fabulous Olivia Palermo, where we were warmly greeted and welcomed and offered hot or cold beverages. We opted to save hair services for another day and went with manicure and pedicure services. They have a vast variety of polish including everything Essie has to offer, and CHANEL polish. (Hello, what else do you need) This is a large full service salon offering massages, makeup for various events, from natural to theater, cut, coloring, extensions and in the wink of an eye blow dries all of which are reasonably priced, especially for the convenient flatiron location. The staff, all very sweet, helpful and efficient.  Here's a link to their website and check out some photos of our candid photos of the evening below.
