Swiss-tastic!

September 1st, 2010

Alright, the secret is out, there is a nail polish fanatic in the house. I love the stuff and am always on the prowl for new great shades and formulas to dazzle my favorite people (Eliza readers) with. OPI’s Swiss Collection is one of my latest favorites. This collection of miniature polishes features the next big hits in the OPI universe.

Irre-Swiss-Ables by OPI ($12.50/set) also available in full size ($8.50/each)

Color So Hot it Berns: A bright technicolor orange-red, the perfect shade to wrap up the summer brights and carry into the fall season. If you are a fan of Lady Danger lipstick by MAC, this is definitely a great companion shade.

Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous: A slate grey metallic with mini sparkles, great for a bit of a deeper look that’s not quite as extreme as black, yet neutral enough to go with everything. Try pairing this with an plum liner rimmed eye, I suggest Stila Convertible Eye Color in Berry.

Yodel Me on My Cell: My personal favorite of the bunch. A beautiful jewel-tone deep metallic teal, it’s the sophisticated older sister of the bright turquoise polished we’ve been loving all summer. Don’t be afraid to glow a bit with this shade, for a stunning evening transition from summer to fall, dust a quick sweep of Urban Decay’s Baked Bronzer in Gilded over the cheek bones and on the high-points of the face.

Not every fashion talking head had praise for Mrs. Tina Fey, but we loved her look. The classic cut and unique pattern fits her figure and keeps her looking her best. We even like her hair and makeup. Brava.

Pixelated Petals Bedding starts at $58. If I had this bed I would live in it forever. I would make my husband bring me food and books and never leave.

Boys Can Be Cute

August 19th, 2010

Today, my brother asked me if I had any menswear inspirational blogs. He is looking for ideas for his new look. I didn’t have to think twice, I knew exactly where he should go.

The first is the award-winning blogger The Sartorialist, which captures the coolest street style in the world and from around the world. Here are two of his latest finds.

The second is a lesser know, but just as inspirational Adentro Style. Blogger and stylist, Alejandro Lopez, collects the coolest menswear fashion spreads and campaigns that can be found. Below are two of his highlights: GQ UK and Thomas Pink.
