Would you?

Franco couldn’t do it. Neither could Renee. Nina wouldn’t do it. But Hollywould. Make a decidedly sexy leather peep toe pump that is covered in a sensuous floral pattern. Hopefully you will join the list of people who would and do wear this shoe.

Kiss Me

Have the following lines ever been said to you?

"Kiss me! Please, just one more kiss. I really, really need one more from you!"

If not, then you haven't been using Labello UV-Alpin lip balm. This moisturizing lip balm contains shea butter and SPF 30 sunblock. But what makes it even better is that while it moisturizes your lips, it does not leave them feeling waxy, leaving you with utterly kissable lips.

A Clever Worm

The book worm always finds a way to slide in between the pages of every book we read. But then again if it didn't, how would we know where we left off? This clever wood page marker is magnetized so that it can secure itself to the pages of your book and mark the spot where you stopped reading. This is one clever item that we are truly happy to have found.

Nice and Toasty

We can't think of a better way to keep your hands nice and toasty than by slipping on a pair of these nappa leather cashmere lined gloves.

The Caribbean

If you want something healthy, nutritious, and delicous tasting to drink, don't look any further than the Caribbean Passion smoothie from Jamba Juice. This blend of passionfruit and mango juices mixed with orange sherbet, strawberries and peaches rates at the top of our list of things we can't live without. Try it and let us know what you think!

Coloring Book

The Beauty of Color by Iman shows that beauty comes in all shades.

Straight to the point

Let's get straight to the point. Fellas, if you don't have one already, go out and get a cashmere sweater. It is essential to your fall wardrobe.

Biday will save the day

If ever you are in a tight spot and need an outfit quick, fast and in a hurry, rest assured that Lida Biday will save the day! Need proof? Just check out this tweed jack with matching bustier and metallic pleated skirt. We think you will be hard pressed to find fault with it.

3

Guys - Listen up! The Barthes boot from Calvin Klein has 3 things going for it: it is sophisticated, versatile, and affordable! And even better, it is available in 3 colors: black or brown leather and brown suede. So while others are trying to find just the right shoe to wear with their jeans on Saturday night, to brunch on Sunday, or to work on Monday, you have the one shoe that will see you through all 3 events in style.

We adore Libra

Being that we try to be straight forward with our readers, we must share the following with you: we did not like Toni Braxton’s new cd Libra when we first listened to it. Initially we only found 2 songs on the disc that we wanted to hear over and over again, did not think it would be well received and we put it to the side. Then a funny thing happened, we put the disc on last week to hear one of those two songs and ended up just letting the disc play (something we NEVER do). Well since that time, this disc has been in active rotation in our listening station and we can say without a doubt WE ADORE LIBRA. Listening to the lyrics, we can share Toni is talking plainly about love and the everyday trials and tribulations that go along with it. We are truly grateful that we gave this cd a second chance as we would have missed out on a true gem. Hopefully you will be open to giving this cd a listen and let us know your thoughts about it.

LA Fashion Week

Scream it for all of the world to hear, LA FASHION WEEK IS HERE!!!

And what better way to begin it than by previewing the work of one of LA's most celebrated designers, Louis Verdad. While we don't want to appear impartial, we know that once you check out this look from his fall collection you will join us in singing his praises for all the world to hear!!!

Sexy Papers

"Sleek. Simple. Modern. And very sexy." This is how Carta describes their Roma line of journals. Not necessarily what one would associate with a notebook but once we saw it, we had to revise our opinion. The smooth cover and silver gilded edges entice one to want to write down anything just to use the journal. And while we can't say what we are writing in our journal, know that we are immensely pleased with it in every way!

Attention Technophiles

Technology is a great thing and the 8801 from Nokia is proof of this. The sleek, stainless steel case with a sliding cover is the first clue that this is not your ordinary cell phone. The scratch resistant glass window, brilliant. Then we discover that in addition to the standard abilities most phones offer such as text messaging, video imaging, and Bluetooth technology, this tri-band phone with GSM coverage has the ability to display 3D images, supports all major languages for numerous countries in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and a digital music player with FM radio. While this is not all that this phone is capable of doing, it is certainly off to a great start.

Miss Sophia!

Just the other day we were strolling through one of our favorite style emporiums when we came across a dress from a designer we had never heard of before. Seems that this young designer has been around for a few seasons but this was the first time we had ever seen any of her work. Well we do not want to keep her a secret any longer. Check out the dress that did it for us from Sophia Kokosalaki - a name you don't want to forget! (Thanks to our friends from romanFrance for providing us with the photograph.)

Ask for more?

A 7-gauge Italian cashmere varsity style cardigan from J. Crew. You could ask for more but why would you?

Keep Warm

The best way to keep warm this fall is by wearing a great coat. And among the best is this cashmere one from Lafayette 148. Enjoy!

Enough said

While it has been around forever and is a staple for many people, we don't want to ignore it or not give it the proper respect it is so deserving of. So we will go on the record and state Kielhl's Creme de Corps is the ultimate all-over body moisturizer! Enough said.

Power

Power! If we are honest with ourselves, we all want it. In some shape, form or fashion, we all desire the power to do something. Be it at work, in our personal lives, or in our community, we all crave the power to transform something. Sadly, we haven't discovered a magic potion that grants us the power to do those things. But what we have discovered is a ring that can help one feel more powerful on the inside. The power ring from Diane von Furstenberg by H. Stern is a brushed yellow gold ring whose shape is inspired by the cut of a diamond. Its bold size commands attention to the wearer's hand. And while the ring does not hold any special abilities per se, it does give the possessor a feeling of inner confidence that is projected for all of the world to see. And that, my friends, is half of the mystique of having power. The other half you will have to discover on your own!

A New Dimension

How do you change the look of your dinner table quickly without spending a fortune? By adding the Argenta charger and appetizer plate from Crate and Barrel to it. Hand made in Italy, these silver plates work wonders by adding a whole new dimension to your dining experience. They are an addition you won’t regret.

Attention Francophiles

How would you like to go to France? If you answered in the affirmative, we have some great news to share with you, we would like to go also! BUT, as it does not look like we will set foot on the Champs-Elysées today, we will fill our longing with this sweater comprised of a mélange of subtle colors from French Connection. Hopefully this will sustain our longing until our feet reach the city of lights.

It's

It’s sheik, it’s subtle, it’s classic. We can’t be talking about anything other than the intermezzo hobo from Bottega Veneta. What’s better, it has been updated with an unassuming floral print embossed on the leather. So while we can call it a lot of things, it’s never called out of style!
