ice ice baby

I have an obsession with celebrity engagement rings…I have a bigger obsession with finding knockoffs of celebrity engagement rings.   I love big gawdy rings and celeb engagement rings are the perfect example…just a little bit too much.   Currently on the hunt for Carrie Underwood’s massive rock of engaged:

Look at that thing – it’s huge!  Even her girlfriend can’t help but stare!

15-559-tcx looks quite stunning on you..

Mimosa is on the way out , and turquoise is ready to takeover 2010.  That’s not my opinion, that’s straight from the color authorities at Pantone who have been selecting the  ‘Color of the Year’ since 2007.   Previous selections have (if my memory isn’t totally tarnished) definitely been ‘it’ colors:

2007: Chili pepper

2008: Blue iris

2009: Mimosa

Does the color of the year title, while meaningless, make you look at turquoise any differently?

Here are some of my turquoise wants of the moment, images are linked to purchase location.  Clearly some are a bit more practical than others..but hey, maybe I can wear turquoise Roberto Cavalli spiked heels to work one day?

Oh, and if you will be venturing into turquoise in 2010, one of my favorite color combos is bright red and turquoise…give it a shot.

snow’s coming…sport a pedicure

October 19, 2009

Every lifestyle, gossip and fashion blog I visited today had advertising for ‘It’s On With Alexa Chung.”  Can’t imagine that MTV’s show that airs at 3:30pm is gunning for my 29 year old viewership, but I still clicked through to see the latest on Ms. Chung.  I was happy to see a section devoted to her style and a breakdown of the outfits she wears on the show.  One item caught my eye:

comme-des-garcons-bare-feet

They’re by Comme Des Garcons…and they’re fugly interesting aren’t they?  At first glance I want to make fun, but the more I stare they start to grow on me.  They’re the kind of shoes I’d SAY I’d wear, but never would.   Although by February when the snow is piled high and toes are hidden beneath wool socks these may seem more appealing and wearable.  If you’re feeling love for the barefoot shoes right now, head on over to snag a pair (they come in black too).

ipod for your baby

October 8, 2009

Who says iPod’s are for adults?!  Ok, yes, they absolutely are, but maybe your baby can work the iPod style?     I have a ton of friends who are expecting and I’ve been looking for some unique baby clothes.   I came across iPopMyBaby.com’s adorable line of iPod inspired baby onesies and tees:

They also have simpler iPod versions, each onesie or tee is about $19.95.  Now I don’t just want an iPhone I want an iPhone onesie for my friend’s babies!
