The New Blues
Brighten up your vanity with beauty products in shades of blue. From sultry shadows to gentle exfoliators, check out some of my favorites among the new blues.
1. MAC Deep Truth is a classic very deep blue shimmer eyeshadow that can update the classic smoky eye by standing in for stark black shadows.
2. If lighter shades are more your style, try Urban Decay Speed. This pale blue shadow is a great way to welcome the spring.
3. Get a mix of blue shades in Maybelline’s Eye Studio Sapphire Siren Quad, the drugstore giant’s latest shadow offering. A light and dark blue are paired with a frosty white and black shadow to give you a range of eye looks, all for less than $9! Even if you usually avoid Maybelline’s shadows, try the new Eye Studio quads, they are way more pigmented than their regular line. Applied wet, they rival department store brands with their rich color payoff.
4. NARS Bains Douches is a bright sky blue glitter pencil that will take your eye look from day to evening. Wear a pale blue shadow to work and then spice it up in the evening with a darker blue shadow (like MAC’s Deep Truth) and Bains Douches in the inner and outer corners of the eye to add some sparkle.
5. Stila Black Diamond Mascara in Blue Shimmer will add just a hint of sparkle to your eyes. The soft blue shimmer in this basic black mascara is perfect for daytime (no disco ball eyelashes here).
6. Brighten up your shower and your skin with Peter Thomas Roth’s Botanical Buffing Beads! This scrub has tiny round beads to gently exfoliate your body and even delicate facial skin. The bright blue color will help you to imagine a lovely tropical ocean while you uncover the bright new skin you’d show off on that beach.
7. Marc Jacobs Daisy in The Air is a limited edition reisssue of the popular Daisy fragrance in a bottle adorned with bright blue flowers. The perfect gift for the girl who loves floral fragrances, Daisy has notes of violet, strawberry and gardenia. This limited edition set includes a daisy chain of blue flowers that she can spritz and hang in her room so she’ll be surrounded by her favorite scent. It’ll also freshen and brighten up your car - those little green trees are no competition!

You can tell spring is approaching by the floral prints and feminine silhouettes seen on the latest handbags. Florals have been taken straight off the runway and incorporated into some of the prettiest styles I’ve seen in a while, especially designs from Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi. Also, the drawstring bag has returned and is better than ever!
1. Miss Angie Shopper by Dolce & Gabbana
$1875
This bag is from the 2010 Cruise Collection. The drawstring-cinched shopper features a beautiful rose print on cream leather, and is perfect for Sunday brunch.
2. Chef Rose Zucca Hobo by Fendi
$940
Replace your everyday bag with this Fendi hobo. A fresh remake of one of Fendi’s signature bags, it features soft pleats and a rose print over the logo patterned fabric.
3. Forever Small Zip Top Bag by Fendi
$460
This bag is great for a fresh spring night out on the town. The floral watercolor print over the subtle Fendi logo print will definitely turn heads, and can easily be mistaken for a piece of art.
4. ID Chain Tote by MICHAEL Michael Kors
$498
This tote shows just how versatile a drawstring bag can be with the use of hardware. The focal point is the golden chain detail against the rich walnut leather. Simply gorgeous.
5. Jagger Zipper Tote by Kooba
$598
Sleek and chic best describe the Kooba Jagger Zipper tote. A simple style can have so much character with red leather, goldtone chain detail on the top handles, and zipper detaining on the front and sides.
6. Classic Q Drawstringy Leather Bag by MARC by Marc Jacobs
$528
This bag has a classic yet modern style with its round shape, pebbled leather and goldtone hardware. It’s a great weekend bag and comes with a detachable shoulder strap.
Building your handbag collection should be fun. You don’t have to always play it safe and buy “practical” bags. If you add a print or new style at the start of each season, try mixing it up with a few of these items listed above
Burberry Skinny Giant Check Scarf in Regiment Red, $195
I love a good splurge every now and then. The key is not to wake up the next day feeling guilty for my purchase. That’s why I always make sure that any indulgence is not only worth the money spent, but also a luxury I will be able to enjoy for years to come.
This month, I’m all about neckwear. From fabulous flirty necklaces to yummy cashmere scarves, my d©collet© is just dying to be draped in extravagance. These pieces are all valuable investments, worth their price, and won’t go out of style.
The Burberry Skinny Giant Check Scarf in Regiment Red is probably one of the most versatile items you’ll ever own. It can add style to jeans and a simple shirt, and looks equally appropriate worn with a jacket over a cocktail dress to keep warm. While $195 might be steep for a scarf, wear it with a Target t-shirt and your whole outfit will still look like it came from Burberry.
Banana Republic Floral Necklace, $125
I simply cannot get enough of this floral necklace from Banana Republic. The mixed metals and antique detail make this piece look like it’s worth far more than the $125 price tag. And the grey satin bow — sweet and sexy. Since statement necklaces are hot right now, this is something that can be worn casually during the day and dressed up for night. But even after this trend has been worn out, I can still see myself wearing this with an LBD to a holiday party.
Rag & Bone Maryna Leather Jacket, $1325
But what goes with my new scarf and necklace? This Rag & Bone Maryna leather jacket, that’s what. The asymmetrical cut ensures that this look is thoroughly modern, and the softness of the leather adds a nice feminine contrast. Top everything off with a spritz of Marc Jacobs’ latest fragrance, Lola, and you’ll see why this is money well spent.
Marc Jacobs Lola, $85
Enter To Win: Tory Burch Efram Hobo
