The American Apparel Flea Market Is Coming To A City Near You!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAmerican Apparel isn’t exactly expensive, but sometimes, shelling out upwards of $20 for a plain t-shirt is too much to handle- even if we know we’ll wear it to shreds. But $2 t-shirts? That’s an entirely different story! The American Apparel Flea Market is on the road now, and if you’re lucky, it’s headed to a city near you. Prices start at just $2! That’s cheap enough to stock up on an entire rainbow of t-shirts, or perhaps prepare for multiple future DIY projects. The market will be at Arizona State University in Tempe today, San Francisco State University on Tuesday the 15th, and three more cities, spanning through the first week in October. The flea market is just for one day in each city, so we’d recommend getting there early unless you feel like chasing them down on their next stop! See the schedule and details on the left, and tell us… will you be stopping by?

Get Eyes That Smolder With Fall’s Best Brow Tools

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageForget the complicated eyeshadow techniques and fluttering false eyelashes — this fall, it’s all about going back to beauty basics with come-hither brows. Since you may overlook doing up your eyebrows beyond your basic waxing or tweezing regime, it’s easy to forget just how dramatically different your look can change with even the slightest shaping. After all, they do serve as the vital frame for your face, and this upcoming season’s brow trend is bold and strong yet still distinctly feminine. While you don’t need to go as far as Megan Fox with the dark dramatic arches, consider a flattering reshaping with a set of stencils and keep straying strands in place with a sleek brow gel. You’ll be surprised at how much a pair of neat, bold brows can really amp up your whole face — not just your powerful peepers! Check the slideshow for the must-have tools to add some pow to your brows!

Modern Footwear Meets Urban Romance With 80%20 Shoes At Karmaloop!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe new 80%20 Shoes fall collection has just landed at Karmaloop.com! Designer and owner CeCe Chin first conceived the New York-based label in 2004, when she came up with the concept that 80% of the time we tend to wear our favorite 20% of our wardrobe. The smallest percent has the greatest impact. 80% life, 20% shoes = 100% LOVE! Genius, right? The new collection yields nothing short of stylish and chic footwear. Chin found inspiration in the urban romance and creative vision prevalent in the early 80s, particularly in NYC. Strength and femininity are pervading themes throughout the collection, as she updates her signature hidden wedges with cut outs, buckles and chains. Classic references are also drawn with bridle leather, buffalo check patterns and neutral color palettes. The complete collection presents itself as the footwear for a modern city warrior, arming herself with creativity, functional style and optimism for possibilities to come! My favorite picks are the Ruby Gathered Hidden Wedge Boot, the Zoey Geisha Gladiator Wooden Wedge and the Bobbie Gathered Hidden Wedge Boot. Click “See Video” to watch women’s buyer Jessica Perez’s rundown of the collection, then check the slideshow for some of the styles available at Karmaloop!

Head Back To School With New Gadgets You Need & Actually Use!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI went to Target yesterday to grab some necessities like ice cream, cute tees and cheap books and DVDs. I somehow found myself in the “back to school” section and almost starting grabbing things until I realized I don’t go to school anymore. There’s just something special about buying things from simple folders to a brand new laptop. Nonetheless, I do love shopping for other people so I’ve found some great electronic gadgets that will get you ready for whatever your teachers throw at you! Take a look at this pair of noise canceling headphones from Bose. They’re great to use when you’re on a plane or need to drown out the sound of your roommate’s snoring. For those in high school, check out the Franklin SAT-2400 Princeton Review Pocket Prep which will get you ready for one of the most important tests for college without lugging around a 3-pound prep book. Click on my slideshow to see more electronics, perfect for back to school!

Shop Fall’s Hottest Trend And Dare To Bare With Something Sheer!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSheer clothing always evokes a little bit of the ’80s and also seems futuristic at the same time. Clothing with sheer insets and panels is usually considered to be a nighttime kind of outfit, but brands and designers like Alexander Wang and Free People have made sheer clothing a great daytime option too! From tops to even denim, it’s easy to find this daring trend. For a subtle sheer look, check out the jersey sheath dress by Maggy London which has small sheer insets around the waistline. If you’re feeling a little bolder try the boa burnout sweater by 3.1 Phillip Lim (with a nude bandeau bra underneath). Sheer clothing is definitely very sexy so don’t overdo it with a head to toe sheer look. Click on over to my slideshow to see how you can incorporate the sheer trend into your wardrobe!

Simply Divine: Tiffany Vine Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageTiffany celebrates nature’s patterns of intricate beauty with tender vines of 355 round and marquise diamonds that form a winding path through 441 perfectly matched sapphires. In fact, the exquisite stones began their journey long before, at the stonecutter’s bench. In a feat of skill and precision, Tiffany stonecutters painstakingly cut each diamond that was then bead set in platinum, and hand carved each sapphire to fit the complex channel setting. The result captures the graceful movement of vines blooming against a midnight sky. $195,000 (ouch!) at Tiffany & Co.

Hot In The Hive: Rick Owens x Eastpak DRKSHDW Collection

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageLong ago, I resigned myself to the fact that I’d never own anything by Rick Owens. Leather jackets priced in the area of my rent just aren’t going to happen, even if they’re supposedly comfortable enough to live in. Not buying it, literally. So back when news broke of an upcoming Rick Owens/Eastpak collaboration, I was definitely curious, even though 1) I was more of a Jansport kid and 2) I have no use for a backpack. Fast forward to now, where the much anticipated bags are available on Oki-Ni. Consisting of sleek backpacks, computer sleeves, and duffels, the collection is pure minimalism, which is what you’d expect from bags designed by a label known for its high-end essentials. It’s all in the details- instead of traditional seams, the bags are produced with a revolutionary welding technology that gives them a luxurious, uninterrupted look and feel. Basically, we’re saying don’t drag these on the pavement or leave your lunch leftovers in them overnight…

Price: $113 to $292
