A Nail Ring to Love

Nail rings have been floating around for some time now. You know… the top of the finger accessory that could replace your need for a manicure. But if you were looking for something a little less….just less, we’ve found the perfect nail ring for you.  These gunmetal and black crystal triangle nail rings from Gwaan are the perfect add on to any finger narrative that you’ve got going on!  Check them out… for only 6.05 euros, they would only run you about $15, including shipping.  Who can beat that.

Kudos, Gwaan, they’re definitely a new favorite.

Take Control!

If only these awesome little earrings could really control time…

This 6 piece bronze earring set by Upper Metal Class is the perfect little accessory to add on.  They’ll run you $90 and for 6 unique pieces, we must say they’re definitely worth your dollar.

Two Toned Eyes

Hate getting raccoon face? Estee Lauder has just the thing for you! New Sumptuous Two Tone Eye-Opening Mascara features a duel end wand with complimentary colors.

Last season, it was the fabulous minds behind Olsen Twin’s The Row who made the move to pair black on top and brown on bottom to give the eye ultimate lift and now this trend has moved onto the runway, being instrumental in Derek Lam’s “Twisted Doll” look for his Fall 2012 runway vision.

Estee Lauder features two options – black and rich blue, black and rich plum – and are available for pre-order on EsteeLauder.com OR in stores in April!

Impulse Purchase: Doo.Ri for Macy’s Impulse

While Macy’s may be boosting that they are more “high end” than JC Penney’s, the proof is in the pudding, as they say! Released last year, Macy’s Impulse line has had a string of fashion designers create a line for the notable department store. First, Giambattista Valli then the very well-known Karl Lagerfeld, but their more recent collaboration is with someone a little less know, but who certainly has the designs to still make a splash!

Doo. Ri Chung, who worked in her parent’s dry-cleaning shop in New Jersey for years, brings a dynamic line to Macy’s in just a few weeks. Fashion on a budget comes in all shapes and sizes and in the 33-piece collection you’ll be able to find knit maxi dresses, tanks and tees, a couple of work-friendly blouses, bright cocktail dresses that could stand up to a casual wedding, and of course, every girl’s must-have, the LBD (little Black Dress).

These great items and more will hit Macy’s stores nation wide on February 15th!

Models Own Bottleshop

We definitely need something like this in the States… in Boston please, if that’s not too much to ask.

The innovative European cosmetic brand, Models Own, will launch this new bottleshop shopping experience in April in a Westfield London mall opposite Top Shop, Apple, and Zara.

Rather than a typical boring box-shop, Models Own has gone one step further. “At Models Own we like to do things differently”, says Mark Rodol, CEO. “You hear about other brands trying to create ‘immersive shopping experiences’ so we’ve taken this literally by asking people to actually shop in the world’s largest bottle of nail polish!”

While we may be a little jealous, we’re excited about the launch and hey, it’ll give us something to do next time we’re in Westfield.
