We hate to do it to you...

We hate to do it to you but we have to…StyleFinders is taking the month off! Between vacations and other commitments, we will be unavailable for the majority of the month of July. BUT we will return in August prepared to update you on the best of the fall season. And for those of you bummed about not knowing what handbag would have been featured for July, here is a treat for you! The Double Strap Hobo from Jimmy Choo!

Help! Lucifer is here!

We are forced to admit that we cannot wait until this Friday, June 30 when The Devil Wears Prada hits movie screens everywhere! While Anna Wintour (editor-in-chief of Vogue) may not have given the movie her blessing, she did attend a screening in New York. And in a tongue-in-cheek move, she wore Prada to the event! So while the movie may or may not be based on her work style, it has more than enough designer style to satisfy every fashionista within its reach!

Drinkware

The Glen Plaid Drinkware from Lauren is one of our favorites. Enjoy !

Perfect Transition

This look from Milly is the perfect transitional outfit for going to the office in the morning to heading out for an after work event in the evening. The tangerine trench and white pants are superb for those cool, air conditioned office environments. But once you escape, you can remove the coat and you're insantly ready for evening fun in the silk halter top.

Summer

Check out this great summer sandle from Miss Trish of Capri. It is an orange leather flat sandle with silver beads that's perfect for your summer vacation. Enjoy!

Mission Impossible

StyleFinders has been on a mission! A mission to find a nice pair of men’s shorts. Unfortunately the mission has ran into some serious issues as all we have been able to find are bulky cargo shorts. Luckily, Juicy Couture did this nice-fitting drawstring style with a cargo pocket on one leg. They stop below the knee and are perfect for those hot summer days and nights that are upon us.

We love...

We love the front. We love the back. Quite simply, we love this black crepe halter dress from Valentino Red!

Keep it simple

Keep it simple in this look from DKNY. The coordinating black cardigan & tank with the cafe colored skirt with black trim is a look that works for both day and night. Enjoy!

Blaze

It’s no secret that we love candles. One, they create a relaxing mood, and two, everything looks better by candle light. But the one thing that has always irritated us about candles is lighting them. Matches are fine for lighting one or two candles but are far from perfect when you are lighting several. And those long plastic lighters are ok for some, but we have found that clicking them on is not easy or fun. Then we discovered the Zippo MPL. Sorry, the Zippo Multi-Purpose Lighter. Without a doubt, this metal encased lighter is ideal to use anytime you need to create a blaze. All you do to create a flame is use the soft touch ignition system. And with an adjustable flame dial, fuel supply window for refillable butane, and a child-resistant safety button, you can’t ask for much more from a lighter. (FYI – The Zippo Mini Multi-Purpose Lighter is just as good, only in a smaller package!)

Dress it up, dress it down

Dress it up, dress it down. The choice is yours with this brown pleated tuxedo front linen shirt from Banana Republic. With a tailored fit and french cuffs, this shirt will look good on most men and is appropriate for just about any event you attend this summer.

Marvelous

Feel free to take it easy in this simple cassis colored linen shirt dress from Ellen Tracy. With a button front, cuffs, and a notch collar, the combination of simplicity and sophistication is marvelous.

Help!

Help! We’ve fallen and can’t get up. Up from our chair that is because we are too busy looking at out new Polaroid 7” Portable DVD Player with a 180 degree rotating screen! You can watch DVD’s, listen to music or even view pictures on JPEG discs. And with a built-in Dolby Digital Decoder and stereo speakers, you don’t have to worry about sound quality. So check it out and let us know if you fall for it too!

Memorable Moments

What can record your most memorable moments yet takes up less space than a notebook? That would be the Neptune 3.1 Pocket Video Camera. This 4" x 2 ½" video camera is perfect for the person who likes to capture those special events but hates lugging around a big video camera. And with 6.0 mega pixel output, you are not sacrificing picture quality for size. Check it out for yourself and let us know what u think.

Oh so good...

Frederic Fekkai's Shea Butter Body Products (Body Cream, Self Bronzer, & Soap) are an indulgence that will soften & moisturize the skin and leave you smelling oh so good!

Refreshing

The forces that be kept our site down for the past few days but we are happy to say we are back! And after the ordeal we have been through, a refreshing beverage is definitely needed!

From the vineyards of South Eastern Australia comes a unique white wine called Lexia. Lexia is made from Muscat grapes-one of the oldest grape varieties known to man. This grape thrives in Australia's rich soils and hot climate. If you're looking for a wine with the perfect balance of sweetness and refreshment, you've found it. This wine features wonderful aromas of apricots, mangos and lilacs. It offers a round, full mouthfeel with a pleasant sweetness that's well balanced by a crisp, refreshing finish. And on a hot summer day, you couldn't ask for anything better.

In the army!

You may not be in the army, but you are definitely at the forefront of fashion if you are wearing camouflage. This tank dress from Lynn Ritchie is done up in the hottest print of the season. In pure silk habutai, this dress is lightweight and perfect for looking stylish and comfortable.

BBB

StyleFinders is back! And we have to ask, aren’t you in love with the Beautiful Brigitte Bag from Marc Jacobs? This chocolate brown perforated leather bag with gold hardware is one of the highlights from the spring/summer collection. It is definitely and investment you won’t regret making!
