Video Style Steal – Adele ‘Rolling In The Deep’

imageAdele’s new single, ‘Rolling In The Deep’, actually isn’t new at all but was released three years ago and has been slowly climbing the charts since and recently has been heard everywhere.


It’s catchy, soulful and filled with raw emotion … and the video is filled with artistically simply scenes and Adele in an all black ensemble of glittering mesh dress, embellished up-do and classic mary-janes!


Her ensemble is perfect for a night out if you want to look classic but youthful. Mesh and sequins added a modern edge while opaque black tights kept it sophisticated. Looking for a more va-va-voom approach? Skip the tights and up-do!

Daily Obsesh – Leaf Tray

imageIt seems like the cold has gone on forever, so the first signs of summer can’t get here soon enough! Every day we check the weather report and think, “Please be warm, please be warm, please be warm” just so we can break out all of our new skirts and dresses.


Some days we get what we want, other days we don’t. So to keep our lives consistent, at least inside our homes, we went out and got ourselves this nifty tray‘.


It’s a brightly colored leaf fashioned out of leather (it looks like metal in the picture, but it’s not!) that sits perfectly on our counter top to hold our keys, while gently reminding us that the sun will be shining soon enough. So never fear, warm weather is almost here!

Got The Blues … And Loving It!

imageThis season, it’s all about wearing bright colors! Pop colors are eye catching and fun and stand out that much more in the sun!


While tangerine orange and electric pinks are great, they may be a little too loud to wear in a professional or dressier setting. Colbalt blue is an ‘it’ color this season with it’s bold, head turning hue and versatile qualities.


Bright blue shorts or flat sandals on the weekend look casual and cute while being just unique enough, while a fitted pencil skirt or cropped blazer are perfect for the office! Match cobalt blue accessories with cream and neutral tones for just a pop, or opt to try the new color clash colorblock trend (try lemon yellow or saturated plum) that’ll really help you stand out!


This is one time we love having the blues!

Crap Eyewear

The newest models from a line of shades “designed by some kids in California”

crapsunglasses-lilwayne1.jpg

“Wild sunglasses for wild people,” Crap Eyewear exudes the Southern California beach bum lifestyle with plenty of personality to go with it. What started as a side project among friends several years ago has developed into a complete collection of frames, sported by everyone from fellow surfers to hip-hop collective Odd Future and Lil’ Wayne.

New for 2011 are tons of new colorways and two new frame styles, the Hollywood Lawns and the Lo Max. Dropping next week, the Hollywood Lawns (named for Warhol superstar Holly Woodlawn) have an appropriately glam feel, especially if you opt for gradient lenses. Already snapped up by more than one CH editor, these puppies deliver a clean mix of design without taking themselves too seriously, fitting right at home alongside their current lineup of frames.

The Lo Max, launched last month, is a big and bold unisex frame available in a flashy reddish tortoise shell. Like several Crap styles, the Lo works best for those with larger noggins or unafraid to rock an attention-getting accessory.

Made using industry-standard polycarbonate injection molds and CR-39 lenses (as opposed to acetate and other more costly materials found in pricier brands), Crap keeps the line affordable without sacrificing style and quality—we particularly like the matte finish on several pairs. Each model also comes with a microfiber-lined case, padded and screen-printed with one of two rad graphics, to protect your investment while not on your face.

Crap Eyewear sells from their online store and from numerous retailers across California, Australia and Japan for only $54. Snag yourself a pair and go raise some hell.

Beauty Pick Me Up – The Wet Look

imageThere’s something very sexy about a just-got-out-the-shower look. Hair that is damp has an appeal that is natural and raw and plus, it makes tresses so much easier to manage (goodbye flyaways)!


Whether tousled or sleek, there are a number of ways to wear the wet hair look this season! Check out our three favorite styles then click on the slideshow to see our picks of tried and true products that can help you get the look!


Start our with wet hair, either towel drying from the shower or using a spray bottle for dry hair!



Beach-y Waves – Beach babe hair is sexy and best with minimal makeup. Do not comb through and even scrunch up hair sections for added texture. Using a healthy dollop of soft hold mousse, finger comb through locks. Got thicker hair? A thin layer of styling wax helps keep the look lasting all day! Separate hair into 2 inch sections and scrunch towards the scalp. Done!



Sleek Up-Do – A quick and easy style for a sophisticated night out! Using a setting lotion or wet-look gel, comb through hair so that it’s smooth. A side part or mid-part both work as long as it’s a clean line. Gather hair at the nape of the neck. For an elegant bun, twist hair around and tuck ends in to hide. Secure with a bobby pin or two! For a pony-tail, spray the ends with setting lotion. A final spritz of soft hold spray or setting lotion keeps it in place all day!



Slicked Back And Glossy – No time to wash your hair but need a sleek look? Spray hair down with water and using mousse or styling wax, comb hair back and away from the face. Spritz the front with a soft hold hairspray or use a small nickel sized amount of gel to keep hair in place.
