{Glam} June: Nail It

Warning, warning! Thanks to my economics minor, I am reporting there is currently a nail lacquer BUBBLE! But, not to worry…a quick change and you will be back to flaunting your fancy fingers in no time! Four nail trends have emerged this June that have every Fashionista should be prepared for.

Pastels: Sweet, sophisticated, and serene, preppy pastel nails are perfect for summer fun. Nudes, baby blues, and light yellows are the “it” colors to look out for. Manicure Mention: Store Associate at Aerie. Style Recommendation: You can’t go wrong with any one of the pastel polishes from Essie’s Summer Collection. They are stunning.

Metallic: Can’t touch this. This summer, I am pastel pretty during the day and go gold at night! Painting on two layers of an edgy shimmer for a night-out, is a great way choice for an evening in the city. Style Recommendation: Any choice of a proper platinum from butter London’s lacquers.

Matte: Rock it with a layer of instant gratification. For beauties who like a suede-textured effect, with just one simple layer of a matte top-coat, you get a whole new range of styles for your nails at your fingertips! Style Recommendation: I loved experimenting with my new nail art polish from MASH. The black nail in the metallic picture above and the leathery red is a new favorite look of mine! A+.

Pop Art: I have received a good number of questions regarding this one finger trend. Nope, it doesn’t mean anything, except quirky and fun fashion. Sometime’s called “standout” – this style is a summer favorite of mine and an easy way to add a bit of style to your everyday look. Manicure Mention: A co-worker of mine at a dinner with friends. Style Recommendation: Try these daring duos for some East Coast fun!

{Glam} Watch It!

January 18, 2012 in Glam: Style & Trends, Mens

I am not too much of a jewelry kind of girl. Sticking to the basics, I usually always have a pair of simple studs, perhaps my favorite ring from a past birthday, and an occasional statement necklace to add more interest to simple a top.

Let’s just say my friends would rather raid my closet than my jewelry box. One thing is for sure though, they always turn to me to ask for the time. I Stephanie, am the keeper of time.

What piece do I always sport on my wrist? A watch.

I love watches, and maybe, just maybe, even more than my obsession with glasses and hats.

* * * * * *

Men and women both share in having that staple watch. That piece that may have broke the bank, may be their only designer item in their drawers, but that piece that represents what type of person they are.

Watch psychology? Maybe!

Let’s try…Class is now in session:

The pale green of this D&G watch is beyond its… time…with nudes and pastels alluding to the the Spring 2012 trend forecast. This Fashionista has an eye for style and may have a preppy, feminine, well-edited all over look.

With a mighty slogan, “Time for Rebels”, Tag Huer is an iconic watch choice for any person who wants advanced technology with a traditional approach. Expect the wearer of this watch to mean business, have a need for adventure, and have great appreciation for the classics.

I have collected a few pieces that have really stuck out to me.

Happy browsing!
