Something Outrageous and Blue

I just came back from a wedding. It was my co-worker's wedding. It was held at a hotel in Ktown LA. The dress was so pretty! If you want my honest opinion of the entire wedding experience, it would not sound pretty. But I wasn't there as a critic so I won't say anything. I was there to congratulate them.

After the wedding, I thought I would post something about weddings! The bride didn't do the "something old, something new, something blue" thingy.

Leave it to Betty Beauty to make a gal blush. The bridal kit ($15) comes with aqua dye and stencils (heart, xo) to coif your lady place for the big day.

Make your commitment short-term. Not your marriage, silly, your I Do Tattoo ($36). Temporary markings range from doves to Cupid to hearts.

You’re jumping in feet first, so you may as well make your shoes look good. Paint the bottoms of your favorite pair a shade of blue ($10).

Designer Eugenia Kim Brings High Fashion to Target

Designer Eugenia Kim Brings High Fashion to Target

"Everyone can wear a hat -- you just have to find the right one," says Kim, 35. Her high-end Eugenia Kim hats average $200! So I'm happy to hear that they're available at Target. But when I checked online on Target.com, I saw that the designs weren't too pretty but I guess that's why it's so cheap.

Cynthia Vincent line for Target

COMING: The Cynthia Vincent line for Target includes gladiator wedges in yellow, left, $29.99; and African-print-inspired wedges, $29.99.

All the shoes in the Cynthia Vincent for Target collection are priced under $30.
The unfortunate thing is... I saw this article and found out about this collection but when I searched on Target's website today, the yellow gladiator wedge has been sold out already. Not that I wanted YELLOW wedges...

During NYC for Fashion Week Spring 2010, CVS & Robert Verdi lounge was full of the latest hot new products at CVS. One of them was Sally Hansen latest HD nail color collection. One of my new favorite is Sally Hansen HD Nail Polish in Opulent Cloud: a gorgeous silver, with golden and some purple undertones. This shade is very chic and modern and the icing on the cake. I call it: “The Nail Polish That Doesn’t Chip”. It’s currently available at CVS, so go check it out!!

Modern, vibrant nail shades inspired by blossoming runway designs. A fashionable collaboration between nail color expert Sally Hansen and designer Tracy Reese. For the eighth season in a row, Sally Hansen has joined forces with fashion icon Tracy Reese to create the ultimate accessory for the feminine yet modern spring wardrobe, inspired by Reese’s visionary spring collection.

INSPIRATION: This season, Tracy Reese’s runway represents a study in contrasts: Architectural designs meet relaxed silhouettes while hard lines and opaque colors are juxtaposed against soft shapes and sheer fabrics. Femininity enlivens ensembles with a focus on draping, ruching and modern embellishments. Intense color combinations, vivacious prints and multi-layered shapes inject Reese’s spring collection with lively appeal. The colors in the Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen collection reflect this emphasis on vivid hues, high contrast and layering. On the runway, Reese layered the molten metallic sheen of Hidden Treasure over a deep ebony base of Midnight in New York, complementing the mood, inspiration and vitality of the runway looks.





The 8 new shades in the limited-edition nail color collection are made with the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure. This season’s shades include:

Hidden Treasure – clear with multidimensional glitter
Midnight in New York – rich black
Sunflowers – bright yellow
Pomegranate – pinkish red
Dianthus – deep pink
Lagoon – sea blue
Silver Lining – metallic gray
Iced Coffee – light mocha

About Sally Hansen: Sally Hansen renown for its high-performance nail care and nail color. The brand’s commitment to product innovation and technology has made Sally Hansen and the unsurpassed leader in nail color and nail treatment.

About The Designer: Tracy Reese’s designs celebrate femininity and are known for their embellishments and fine attention to detail. Her pieces call for perfectly polished fingers and toes: As Tracy herself says, “A touch of color to your nails gives you a total polished look, as it creates a complete package from head to toe. And what woman doesn’t feel amazing with a fresh manicure and beautiful dress!”

WHAT IT COSTS: $7.00 each

Spring Fashion Trends for 2010

Colorful, Playful Ribbons

Floral Prints

Fashion for Fall 2009/Winter 2010

Over-the-knee / thigh-high bootsOver-the-knee boots are the must-have item for Fall 2009; but those daring enough will find the tops of their boots creeping up even higher with thigh-high boots also making it mainstream. From elegant suedes to darkly futuristic wound-and-bound leathers, the options are many and various.

One-Shouldered Dresses & TopsFrom single-shouldered dresses to tops and bikinis, asymmetric shoulder-lines have made a huge return in 2009. Showing off one-shoulder in a dress can be subtly sexy and interesting on the eye, and the possibilities for how to wear it are numerous. You can find Hye-Soo Kim wearing these on the Korean drama "Style" and you can also find celebrities wearing these one-shouldered dresses or tops. I saw singer, Bada wearing one for her come-back special on "Inki Gayo".



Military FashionA close cousin of the bohemian luxe trend, the military jacket strikes back in 2009 as a winter wardrobe staple. Whether feminised, rocked up or worn with sexy androgyny, it's a winner.
