Hot In The Hive: Eyeko Cosmetics Vintage Nail Polish (Looks Just Like Chanel Jade!)

imageThinking back to the Chanel Fall 2009 runway show, I can’t really recall any of the details other than the colors of the models’ nails. Their bright jade green fingertips took my breath away and I knew it would be the next must-have nail polish color. Fast forward to present day and I’m still trying to find a suitable duplicate of the sold-out shade, so I have to say my heart raced more than a little when I encountered this tempting promotion from Eyeko Makeup. This super cute and affordable makeup company boasts a collection of eyeshadows, mascaras, lip glosses, and nail polish. I’ve tried their famous Eyeko Cream which gives me a iridescent glow when I don’t feel like putting on any makeup. I’ve returned yet again, to snag a few of their latest nail polishes and discovered they have their own version of a jade green nail polish called Vintage. Best part? It’s not even for sale! Instead, they’re giving it away to anybody who buys 3 or more Eyeko products (which isn’t hard to do). Just enter VINTAGE in the checkout box when you order by Monday 11/23!

Price: free with purchase!

Welcome to the Jungle: Animal Prints Inspired By Dolce & Gabbana

imageAnimal prints have been around forever, since the near beginning of time. So it’s not surprising that that they come back in fashion periodically. From leopard print to zebra prints — you name it — everything from the jungle will be welcomed this fall. Dolce & Gabbana have always been a huge fan of this wild style, making it their signature, and this fall other designers like Phillip Lim and Oscar de la Renta are embracing it as well. From realistic to abstract versions of the prints, they are everywhere and they’re a bold way to add to some punch, pattern and texture to any outfit. Feeling risky? Go for a head to toe look inspired by the Dolce & Gabbana runway and pair a tastefully sexy leopard pencil skirt like the Mirror & Dash Leopard Skirt from Urban Outfitters with a Torn by Ronny Kobo bold shouldered long sleeve top. The different scaled prints and covered up shoulders make the look work, and at a fraction of the cost of the runway look! If a head-to-toe animal print is too much for you, try wearing an animal print top or shoe. Check out the slidshow to see ways to get wild with animal prints.

Haute Deal: Badgley Mischka-Style Sequin Pumps For Under $25!

imageIt’s no news that the trend this season is to drench just about anything in sequins: blazers, cardigans, tanks, etc. And as a girl who is instantly drawn to anything with a little sparkle (like a kitten to catnip), I’m all about the emergence of bedazzled pumps, just in time for holiday cocktail parties and New Years’ Eve — the ultimate excuse to bling yourself out like a human disco ball. However, fancified heels usually come with an super-showy price tag to match, like these lust-worthy Badgley Mischka Hart Pumps ($190) that would most likely have me dropping the shoe back on the rack like a hot coal. Lucky for us bargain hunters, however, good ol’ Forever 21 has a nearly identical pair (can you tell which is which?!) for a mere $22.80! Considering a sturdy pair of sequin pumps probably aren’t what you’d consider an everyday wardrobe staple, I think it would be safe to opt for the style steal in this case. But if you’ve got the extra $167.20 and really feel the urge to spend it for the sake of the designer name (okay, and the extra sequins on the heel), it’s up to you!

Can’t Get Enough “Glee?” Check Out Our Pitch-Perfect Style Guide And Dress Like Your Favorite Gleek

imageI was having a conversation a few weeks ago with a friend about our TV-watching habits. While he’s watching crime dramas and more serious fare, I’ve been solely dedicated to fashion favorite “Project Runway” (of course!) and musical hit “Glee.” I’ve always been a sucker for musicals and musicals plus high school makes it even better. While some of the plot lines can be pretty outrageous, there’s no denying that all the actors are super talented and also have some pretty savvy fashion sense. My three favorite characters of the show, Rachel Berry, Mercedes Jones, and Sue Sylvester all have their own unique sense of style, and although fashion is far from the show’s focus, it’s certainly worth noticing. Rachel’s preppy style with schoolboy blazers and cable-knit sweaters exemplify her character’s perfectionism. On the other side, Miss “diva-in-training” Mercedes always wears bright colors and has plenty of bling too. Lastly, Sue may be a tough cookie and wears those Adidas tracksuits like they’re going out of style, but her unapologetic attitude is a reminder that we should always be confident in ourselves. Take a look at my slideshow to see how you can “gleek” up your wardrobe!
