Today's Rave

How fantastic is this golden foil skirt by Elie Tahari? Emmy Rossum was spotted in it at the launch of her new Elie Tahari 'Emmy' bag. It's also perfectly accessorized. I would love to be seen in this outfit! Love!

Innovative Beauty

With such beauty inventions like Almay's SmartShade foundation and Sally Hansen's real polish strips, I didn't think there would ever be anything to top them. Well-I was wrong. L'Oreal's new One Sweep eye shadow has all the makings of a ingenious cosmetic product. For those that are unsure about shadow palettes (where does the darkest shade go?), this is foolproof. And with 8 expertly coordinated palettes, there are many different looks to create. Bravo, L'Oreal!

Reason 1,001 to love Gwen Stefani

As if I couldn't love Gwen any more than I already do, I have another reason to add to my ever-expanding list. Gwen, herself, is hosting an event to help out with the crisis in Japan. According to the ND website:,

"Gwen will be hosting an event to raise additional money for Save the Children’s Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund. This exclusive experience will be hosted by Gwen personally and is available only through this auction.  In addition to the event auction, Gwen has designed a limited edition Harajuku Lovers t-shirt that is available for purchase immediately.  Other auction items will include vintage L.A.M.B. items straight from Gwen's closet and limited edition t-shirts with special custom labels, signed and numbered by Gwen." 

How cool is that? Fans have a chance to bid on being at the event, which will be held at Royal/T, a Japanese cafe in Los Angeles. Not a fan of auctions and bidding? You can still help! Buy one of the limited edition t-shirts. They are so cute and hella stylish! You go, Gwen!

Just say it!

There is no better feeling than giving a gift you know the recipient will love. What better way to amp up the gift-giving than to personalize it even more. Kate Spade's  line of idiom bangles take engraving to the next level. The clever and witty sayings in these bangle bracelets are more genius and spot-on than I could come up with myself. Have someone you love? What about the Heart of Gold bangle? A sassy bff? Hot to Trot. Other sayings? Penny for your thoughts, Hand in Hand, Break the Ice, Take Heart and more! These bangles are sure to make gift-giving even more fun than it is already!

Rave of the Day

Not only am I completely obsessed with rainboots (how adorable are they?!), I found some raincoats today at Target. They're super cute and at $23.99 on sale, pretty inexpensive, I'd say! Everyone needs a raincoat, especially when the weather is an unpredictable as it has been lately. These are always in style and always chic. Just don't be too matchy-matchy with the boots and jacket. Mix it up!

Splish, Splash

Spring is finally here and summer is following close behind. Nothing pairs better with hot, sunny days than swimsuits. When I think of wearing a swimsuit, I think of being at the lake in South Dakota, lounging on the dock, and soaking in the rays (with sunscreen of course). But this season, out with the two-piece bikini, and in with the modest one-piece. Totally chic, totally retro, and fewer tanlines! Here are some cute alternatives to a bikini. Hurry up, summer!
