5 More Things I Love Right Now

From time to time, I run across various items that become such a part of my daily life that I feel like I want to scream from the roof top, "Run out and buy this ladies, it is that wonderful." In July I posted about five of those things: Lush Cosmetics BIG Shampoo; Lucky Magazine; Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil; Banana Republic Bejeweled Orchid Hair Clip; Scott Barnes Body Bling. Click here to see that post: http://cbusstyle.blogspot.com/2009/07/5-things-i-love-right-now.html. The following is a list of 5 more of the things that I use, wear, love, and recommend.
Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream
I've been using this glossing cream for the past few years now and thus far I have not strayed! This cream is constantly on the fashion mags' top beauty product lists so I must not be alone in loving this product. I have naturally wavy hair and use this cream right before I blow dry my hair straight. I squirt about a dime sized dollop into my palm and smooth it through my wet hair and then blow dry, followed by a quick flat iron. The result is straight shiny and very healthy looking hair that I constantly get compliments on! The 7 ounce bottle costs $27.50 and the 4 ounce bottle costs $20.00. You can purchase Frederic Fekkai products in Columbus at Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, certain Bath & Body Works, and Bigelow Chemists.

Smith's Rosebud Salve

I have tried quite a few lip salves over the years and this one is by far my favorite! The reason I love it is not necessarily for its lip-soothing qualities, but more for the way that it looks after you apply it. If my lips are in need of moisture, I usually apply a moisturizing chapstick of some sort, and then apply this salve on top. Its consistency is such that, for me, it essentially serves as a lip gloss. And because I am not a big lipstick wearer, it is all that I need before I go out the door. Unlike many lip glosses that I've tried it is not sticky in any way. I am such a huge fan of this product I remember basically freaking out a few years about when a salesperson at Sephora told me that it was not going to be produced any longer so I started stocking up on what they had left in the store! Thankfully that salesperson was misinformed and you can purchase the salve in Columbus at Sephora and Urban Outfitters.
Giles & Brother "Chaton" Pyramid Drop Earrings

I have been obsessing over these earrings by Giles & Brother for at least the past month. There is just something about their look that is so chic but slightly edgy that I love. A few weeks ago I finally caved and bought them. And as if their look isn't hot enough as is, the post portion of the earrings actually detaches, so that you can wear the hoop portion at the top by themselves. So it is like two sets of earrings in one! These earrings retail for $113 and can be purchased on www.shopbop.com.

OPI "Lincoln Park After Dark" Nail Polish

Ironically enough, I first discovered this delightfully blackish plum color of nail polish while visiting one of my girlfriends in Chicago! Shortly thereafter it started popping up on all the fashion mags' top beauty product lists and it appears to be staying there as I recently spotted it on In Style's 2009 Best Beauty Buys. When I first tried the color, I remember one of the girlfriends that I was with stating that she didn't think it would look good on her because she is on the paler side. After some peer-pressure from the rest of us, she tried it and admitted that it looks great on her! So if you too are on the paler side and fear that such a dark color will look too stark on you, fear not! I now own my own bottle and bring it with me frequently to the nail salon. A bottle of the polish retails for around $7.50 and can be purchased online at www.amazon.com or in most drugstores and nail salons here in Columbus.

Hairstyle: Two Braids + A Bun
I recently saw this hairstyle in an issue of Lucky Magazine and one morning before work I decided to give it a try. After a few attempts, I finally got it right and now this hairstyle has become a weekday staple for me, particularly on the days that I attend my kickboxing class after work. It is great because the braids keep any fly aways or longer bangs out of my face. At the same time it is sophisticated enough for the workplace while remaining girly and fun. To recreate this style, part your hair on the side. Make two small braids starting at the top of your head and secure them individually. Then take the two braids and the rest of your hair and twist it all into a bun at the nape of your neck. It should only take about 5 minutes!

Trend Alert: Sheer-Detail Cocktail Dresses

Lately celebs have been heating it up on the red carpet and at other events wearing cocktail dresses with sheer cut-outs. I remember first taking note of this trend when Leighton Meester wore an Emilio De La Morena dress with bum-baring details to the 2009 MTV Movie Awards (pictured above). At the time I remember liking the idea of the dress for that award show but thinking it would be a tad over-the-top for any other event. Well, it appears that this trend is sticking around (above: Olivia Wilde, Emily Rossum, Khloe Kardashian). And designers seem to be getting quite creative with where they place the sheer-details! What do you think of this trend? I think it is a bit much for me personally, but I like the idea of it. If you are daring enough to try this trend I have located a few dresses similar to those pictured above. Below: American Retro "Lumi" dress for $208 available on www.shopbop.com; Silence & Noise mesh inset dress for $48 available at Urban Outfitters; Elizabeth and James sheer back bandage dress for $365 available at Saks.

While most of the sheer-detail dresses I've seen on celebs are in your basic black, I did run across this picture of Kristen Bell (below) the other day in a fabulous BCBGMAXAZRIA pink cocktail dress with sheer detail at the top. For some reason this dress seems to me to be a bit more wearable than those pictured above.

Below are a few less daring dresses that I have located that still have some fun sheer detail to them, but may not be as over-the-top: Bonnie sheer panel jersey dress for $83.72 available on www.asos.com; Alloy sheer sleeve dress for $39.90 available on www.alloy.com; La Rok "Bon Voyage" dress on sale for $138.50 on www.couturecandy.com; ABS by Allen Schwartz illusion yoke sequin shift dress for $318 available at Nordstrom.

In Stores Now: Carlos Falchi for Target

The Carlos Falchi for Target handbag line that I first told you about in June is now available for purchase in Target stores and online at www.target.com. As I mentioned in my previous post, Carlos Falchi is best known for his exotic skin handbags. Bags from his regular line typically retail from around $350 for the embossed bags to well over $1,000 for the exotics. If you can't afford his regular line, the for Target bags are much cheaper with all of them retailing at under $50. The Carlos Falchi for Target bags will be available for a limited time only until December 27th. Carlos appears to be sticking to what he knows best with the for Target line as all of the bags appear to be texturized to look as though they are made of an animal skin (even though they are all made of PVC). Pictured below are some pieces that are currently available including: Crossbody bag in purple for $24.99; East/West satchel in brown for $29.99; Large satchel in green for $49.99; Small hobo in black for $19.99; Flap hobo in gray for $39.99.

What do you think of the line? Personally, they just aren't my style and I actually find them to be somewhat on the drab side. I think I'll be passing on this for Target collaboration!

Sale Season Is Starting: Saks, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdales

Fashion Do: Bandage Skirts

Recently, celebs seem to have traded in their bodycon bandage dresses (popularized by Herve Leger) for skintight curve-hugging bandage skirts. Bandage skirts have been popping up on celebrities in all different colors (Above: Kim Kardashian, Miranda Kerr, Hilary Duff, Lauren Conrad) and styled in many different ways with sequined blazers, silk blouses, sweaters, and leather jackets. The bandage skirt is meant to be uber tight to show off your curves, so this style is not for the self-conscious girl! Also, unless you are very small on the bottom be wary of styles that alternate band colors because, as everyone knows, horizontal stripes are not always the most flattering. If you want to try out this trend, I've gathered a few options for you to choose from below. While many of the bandage skirts pictured below have a pattern or color to them nearly all styles also come in a basic black.
