Coquette Loves The New Louis Vuitton Inclusion Rings!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI recently was in the Louis Vuitton boutique and tried on the Louis Vuitton Inclusion Ring ($235 online or at their boutiques). Each ring is available in 5 colors (marron, transparent, white, rose pop, orange) and features Monogram charms along with floating Swarovski crystals.

The photos don’t do it justice because each colored ring has different crystals and nuances in their design. They also look pretty amazing on and can give a special “pop” to an outfit.

Beauty Pick Me Up – How To Weatherproof Your Look!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIt’s nice to wake up in the morning, go through your regular beauty and preparation routine and look in the mirror and love what you see. The hair is perfectly coiffed, the eyeliner and mascara immaculately applied and everything is just one stylishly cohesive look. Then you step out and it’s rainy and damp and windy.
Sigh.
As romantic and beautiful as a rainy day can be, it’s definitely no friend to our expertly applied make-up and styled hair. A look that is never a good one is running rivulets of black make-up, smeared and blotchy face powder and frizzed-out, unmanageable hair. This is a dilemma that we’ll all be facing numerous times throughout this wet season, so we’ve decided to put a stop to it once and for all!

While we can’t change the weather patterns, we can use a few tricks of the trade to make sure our look stays fresh and clean, despite the outside weather that is set on tearing our look apart. Waterproof mascaras and eyeliners are a must, and hair products that encourage curls and waves are more suitable than finishing products that sleek and straighten. Need coverage or a subtle tint on your face? Steer away from powders that turn sticky and uneven in the wet and opt for a smoothing primer and cream finishes.

Rainy days doesn’t mean our make-up has to be dripping to! Click on the slideshow to see some fave beauty products that help weather-proof your look!

Get The Winning Look From Our ‘Think Pink!’ Celeb Poll!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIt’s Breast Cancer Awareness month and celebs and us mere mortals alike are doing what we can to raise awareness and funds for research. With a number of Breast Cancer Awareness events popping up all over the place, we’re also seeing many of our fave celebs showing up in pink ensembles.

Last week we asked you to tell us who you thought looked the best in their pink-for-a-cause outfit and the resounding winner was Desperate Housewives star, Marcia Cross. While Busy Philipps looked pretty in a sparkly pink mini and Jennifer Garner really showed her support with some hot pink pieces, Marcia Cross managed to look sophisticated and youthful in her pink get-up.

A simple sheath in a shocking pink hue was equal parts classic and modern, while delicate metallic sandals played up her pretty dress without overpowering. A simple and sleek bangle to mirror her shoes also helped pull the look together while still allowing the bright hue of her dress to take center-stage.

Click on the slideshow to see how to get this look for less than designer prices, as well as some other super stylish pieces that help the cause!

Daily Obsesh- Disney Couture Tinkerbell Egg Ring

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThis summer, we noticed an unexpected trend of stylish ladies wearing lockets, giving the old-fashioned accessory a modern twist by wearing them as rings rather than as necklaces. These fashionista’s know that hidden treasures inside a great piece of jewelry makes for quite the statement piece. One compliment leads to many more once you show off the hidden surprise inside your ring. The Disney Couture Tinkerbell Egg Ring takes this trend to the next level. Instead of having to fill this ring with keepsakes of your own, they come already built in. The pink mother-of-pearl inlaid dome is gorgeous to begin with, yet opens to reveal two freshwater pearls and a blue enamel egg. In keeping with the birds nest theme, the gold plated band is etched to resemble a twig. As is Disney speciality, this ring is pretty enough for a princess, and has very sweet happy surprise ending.
