P.M. Pampering

February 29th, 2008

Nude SkincareMarie swears by this replenishing night oil. It nourishes the most delicate of skin and makes her regular moisturizer all the more effective. An essential blend of omega 3, 6, 7 and 9 makes the face silky and soft. Other key ingredients? Antioxidants such as raspberry, cranberry, avellana and kukui, which protect against free radicals (nigella, camellia, vanilla and macadamia also replenish and nourish). Take a whiff of the Tahitian vanilla oil and regenerating rose absolute, which is easy on the sniffer.

Support the Earth and Your Chest

February 27th, 2008

NoregiWell they’ve done it again. The Japanese have trumped Americans’ efforts to be fashionable and eco-friendly. The NO! Reji-Bukuro Bra morphs from bag to lacy over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder, all in an effort to reduce the consumption of plastic bags among Japanese shoppers. The cups are filled with excess polyester fabric (made from recycled plastic bottles) that acts as padding for your twins and transforms into a shopping bag when you connect the hooks on the underwire. It’s available in red, pink, blue, yellow and green, just in case you were considering actually wearing/toting one around town.

Snap up a paw-shaped necklace or bracelet for yourself and a matching charm for your BFF’s collar. A portion of proceeds benefit nonprofits supporting animals in need. You know, to make you feel warm and fuzzy.

Waist Cinchers

February 26th, 2008

JocasiWe’re well aware of the fact that men are attracted to women who possess a certain waist-to-hip ratio. There are specific measurements that fellas always fall for. If you’ve got them, flaunt them with a belt that calls attention to that region. If you don’t, the same belt can create the illusion of a cinched waistline. We like Jocasi’s Diamond Cutout Waist Belt, a corset-style number with diamond cutout detail and metal buckle. It comes in black and tan, so we snapped up one of each.

Resort Shoes

February 22nd, 2008

Goldenbleu Jacy-1Marie loves her heels—and her bookshelves—stacked with the hottest and latest (for the former, she turns to Goldenbleu, for the latter, she still listens to ol’ Oprah). We too appreciate the San Francisco-based line’s unwavering allegiance to feminine, edgy styles. Rene Huber launched the shoe line in 2006, hot on the heels of her wildly popular handbags. The resort collection satiates a craving for a watermelon wedge, quite literally. Oh-so-juicy Jacy (shown here) boasts white canvas and red patent to put the sexy in your step.

A Sweet Pea Coat

February 22nd, 2008

Lewis ChoMeet USA-made label Lewis Cho. Creators Annie Lewis and Helen Cho met while working for Anna Sui. The duo shared a similar vision for design, and they had both worked for other collections based in New York, Los Angeles, and London. Their fashion collaboration has resulted in stylish, versatile pieces that transition effortlessly from season to season. The look is modern, clean and feminine, inspired by the casual yet elegant lifestyles of the designers’ metropolitan friends. We’re loving this wool pea coat in ink, perfect for chilly weather.
