You need to know what this T-shirt means! [Afrobella]
Las Vegas - What happens in Vegas should definitely be shown off and talked about at every possible occasion! That is, if you shop at the new Las Vegas Ron Herman boutique, the fashion chain's first retail location outside of Southern California. The 3,000-square-foot store is located in the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace. Like the many Los Angeles locations, Ron Herman in the Forum Shops will offer personal shopping services that even includes delivery, but unlike its L.A. cousins the Vegas locale is only offering women's merchandise (sorry fellows). Splurge on favorites from Stella McCartney, Acne Jeans, Jovavich-Hawk, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, and Jet, to name a few.
I tend to catnap on long trips and usually wake up with contact lenses as dry as the Sahara. A couple of drops of this Visine, made especially for contact lens wearers, lubricates and refreshes my dry eyes. Plus, the bottle is so handy I can carry it in my purse on the plane or in the car, and once I'm at my destination it stores easily in my pocket.
Visine for Contacts Lubricating and Rewetting Drops, $6.99
I don't know what the scientific explanation is, but a change in altitude or climate causes dry, dry, skin, doesn't it? Since I live in sea-level Los Angeles, even a simple trip to Palm Springs will have my skin begging for hydration. I love this rich Bath & Body Works Hand Cream, plus the Midnight Pomegranate scent is so seductively sweet.
Bath & Body Works Signature Collection Hand Cream, $12
Yarborough Jewelry Leather Button Ring, $110
Kenneth Jay Lane Flower Ring, $88
The peachy-pink and gold stones make this ring feminine and pretty, but not too precious. The sort of ring you can wear to sweeten up a pair of jeans, basic tee, and simple gold hoops, or your favorite LBD. And you can't beat the price!
High Twist Rayon Bubble Dress, $118
I also picked up not one, not two, but three of these little trapeze dresses from Old Navy. For a mere $15 each, I suggest you hightail it over there, like, now! You'll go crazy over the pretty colors and patterns, plus this is probably the comfiest dress you'll ever jump into on a lazy weekend morning. Happy shopping!
Single girls, and the lucky boys who date them, are aware of certain "rules"to consider when faced with a new suitor. For example, no messy foods (think BBQ, spaghetti, etc) on the first date, always wait until after date #5 before having "the talk," and other such dating formulas. But whether you follow these rules, or make up your own as you go, come December you will be singing the praises of one dating principle in particular - that's when Nicole Miller's new lingerie collection, aptly titled 3rd Date, will be available.
Bloomingdale's this winter, and Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus after the first season. Expect to see print ads in Elle this November.
Los Angeles - Manhattan Beach swimwear designer Shay Todd has opened up her eponymous boutique in the beachside community. You may remember a certain Carl's Jr. commercial with a certain heiress donning a plunging one-piece a couple of years ago - yup, that was a Shay Todd original. But besides swimwear, merchandise in the 1,800 square feet space (which is shared with contemporary apparel retailer, Bombshell) will also include resortwear (think super-cute coverups). Look for prices to start around $150 and go up from there.
If you haven't yet heard the mellifluous sound of Emily King you are truly missing out! The New York-born songstress with the voice as sweet as honey happens to be the daughter of international jazz duo Marion Cowings and Kim Kalesti, and her deep musical roots push to the surface of every song on East Side Story, her debut album due out August 28, 2007.
