Crave: London Fog Wales

We have a habit of wearing really inappropriate footwear, like yesterday it was raining cats and dogs in New York City and we were wearing 5-inch platform pumps. For us, fashion usually trumps practicality. As a result, inclement weather often presents a major fashion quandary. Do you sacrifice chicness for dry feet? Well thankfully, London Fog has a solution that is both stylish and practical. The sliver wedge and gray color make these rain boots effortlessly chic. Plus, they also have a Thermolite footbed and Microfur lining, so your feet and legs will surely stay toasty. [$130, London Fog Wales] Keep reading »

Safe Sex Makeup

Beauty brand NARS is raising safe sex awareness with two new cosmetic kits that come in handy when it comes to sex. The “Safer Set” includes two NARS condoms imprinted with “PREVENTION IS THE CURE” and a popular cream stick face highlighter in Multiple in Orgasm color. The “Safest Set” includes the same highlighter and a small black book promoting abstinence that gives you a list of ways you can just say no to the boys. A portion of the sales from both products go to amFAR’s global safe sex education initiative, so whether or not you’re doing it, you’ll be looking good and doing good. NARS has a long history of uniting sex and cosmetics. Lip colors come in Promiscuous, Manhunt, and Orgasm. Keep reading »

Style On The Street: Ruffled, Yet Composed

Ruffles are complicated enough on their own. If you decide to wear some, keep the rest of your outfit basic. Otherwise, you might end up looking like a really expensive wedding cake. [Trender Bender] Keep reading »

Slippers That Will Keep Your Tootsies Toasty

Slippers aren’t sexy, and they’re rarely in style. However, they do have one thing going for them: They keep our feet warm on those long, cold, and lonely winter nights. Below are the eight cutest slippers we could find (believe me, we looked long and hard). They’re the cotton granny-panties of the footwear world, so if you want the alluring lingerie version, get a pair with marabou feathers. Keep reading »

Cheapskate: J.Crew Is Having A Mega Sale

Normally, we wouldn’t suggest J.Crew for a “Cheapskate” because the retailer can be a little pricey at times. But since the annual fall sale is going on now, this is the perfect time to stock up on basics. A lot of the sale items are more suited for summer, but we found quite a few items that can be worn in the fall and winter. Seeing as J. Crew is Michelle Obama approved, get there quick before everything sells out. Keep reading »

Crave: Zelda Bow Top

Zelda Bow Top — One of our favorite small designers is Mint By Jodi Arnold and this top in particular has caught our eye – the single cross-back strap in the back is reminiscent of Korto from “Project Runway” and the simplistic bow embellishment could easily take you from the boardroom (with a blazer) to the bar.

Get Nailed By Minx!

Conventional nail polish and nail art are things of the past now that Minx Nails have arrived. Minx Nails are the latest celebrity trend and have been spotted on the hands of Beyonce, Solange, Eve, Rihanna and Mariah Carey. “It’s the boom heard around the world,” said Minx Master Lisa Logan, who is Beyonce and Solange’s nail technician. Since Minx is a flexible film, not a polish, you can have virtually any design. I’m talking alligator skin, paisley, fishnet, pretty much anything creator Janice Jordan can think of. You can even show your partisanship by putting a Democrat donkey or a Republican elephant on your nail. Beyonce, Solange and Eve have been spotted with photos of Senator Barack Obama on their nails. And coming soon, you will be able to order customized nails from Minx. That means you can have nails that perfectly match those new python Jimmy Choos or even put a photo of your favorite furry friend. After the jump learn more about Minx Nails. Keep reading »

Fashion Slideshow: Floaty Mini-Dresses

Occasionally these slideshows are conceptualized for selfish reasons. When I went to Paris a couple years ago, I scored the sweetest pair of Tara Jarmon two-tone flat brown riding boots (somewhat similar pair to the left). They are basically my most favorite things ever, but I do find them a little hard to pair with the clothes in my closet. Sure I can tuck my jeans into them, but I actually think they look best with tights and a floaty mini-dress — layer a coat over top and I’ve got a pretty sweet Fall/Winter ensemble. After the jump, 10 dresses I found that would work perfectly — and if you’re down for finding your own pair of riding boots, PiperLime.com has a bunch of different styles for all budgets.
