Cocktail Rings


I'm actually not much of ring person. Although I "borrowed" this really cool silver ring that my mom had bought from Filene's. I tend to claim things she buys and never wears. I stumbled onto some of these colored rings on ICE.COM. These type of blingers are referred to as colored gem cocktail rings and they've been catching my eye frequently now. The best thing about this site is that it allows you to pay them in installments, which should take the edge off the prices a little.

Chanel Plastic Carry All Spotted in NYC

NY Times- At first glance, you might think these women are carrying trash bags. Well, they’re not. It’s the latest Chanel plastic carryall, about $1,000, with chain handles and a signature double-C charm. A few are in leather, and, one, below, is a rare satin one. The bag, first spotted in Paris last month, above, is the superstatus bag carried by shoppers on Madison and Fifth Avenues. There is a waiting list of months to buy one. Think by the time you are called of the waiting list something else will have emerged. Maybe a yellow poncho or something?

The "Oh No What Did I Do?" Hang Over Kit.

Had a close encounter of the "I had one too many" kind? Well this may help. Unscrew the lid of the ice pack and fill with, you guessed it, ICE!

Now get yourself comfortable (Well, as comfortable as possible anyway) and cover your poor hurting eyes with the eye mask and pop the ice bag on your head. Ahhhh. Much Better!

Includes Ice pack and "never again" eye mask - Bright Pink, of Course! Price: $14.99. I guess they'll leave the aspirin up to you.

Circa Joan & David "Millie" Tall Boot


I caught these tall boots on Macy's.com by Joan and David. I fell in love instantly and now I have to have them. The price ($225) is alittle steep but they seem like a fantastic buy. Pair them with a a cute skirt, whether long or short, winter shorts with leggings or even straight legged jeans tucked in.

The Body Shop Sparkle Collection


Ok, so its officially shopping season. Crowds, no parking, long lines, screaming children and all that jazz. So while your out there doing the dread holiday shopping this is a cool and inexpensive gift for a best friend, best co-worker or even better, a little treat for yourself.

This is the new Pure Sparkle Collection from The Body Shop. I like the colors because you can wear the low toned ones during the day and then jazz it up a bit with the brighter colors which are perfect for a holiday party or New Year's Eve bash!

Sagem is now "Surfer Friendly"


Following on from its Roland-Garros tennis handset and its England World Cup phone, Sagem seems well up for the co-branded handset. The company has launched My Oxbow - a collaboration with the surfing label, creating a handset in one of Oxbow's designs.

Before the California surfer girls get all excited this isn't a "surfer friendly" phone like with a water tight handset. It's just a standard Sagem my400v handset with VGA camera. However, it does offer extra surfer content as part of the Vodafone Live service, including weather for surfing, places to stay, information relating to Oxbow (including the latest gear and events) and dedicated downloads. But before all you surfer dudes dash out for one, note this is only currently available in France. But if successful, something similar is likely to head over to the UK and possibly an unlocked version for the U.S.

PINK Profits

The super star know as "PINK", who isn't always pink but anyways" has decided to profit from the recent excitement and rise in pink-like items such as cell phones and play stations.

If you remember, PINK has been the face for Sony's Pink PSP Bundle currently being sold in Europe--where they could probably care less about Pink (or do they). I'm in Europe now and I haven't heard any of her songs! The PINK branded players pack a 1.7 inch display, FM tuner, voice and FM recording, and will be available in 1GB and 2GB capacities. They'll be selling in Germany although I feel like they are aiming for the wrong market!

Monopoly: Sephora Edition


I always considered Monopoly a unisex kind of game. Anyone who is finance savy could play the game, even for fun right? Well, this November sees the debut of Monopoly: Sephora Edition, a collaboration between the beauty retailer and the classic board game. Except this time, only beauty rules apply: players go to jail for bad hair days, advance to go for getting a manicure, pay fines for streaky self tanner application, and purchase products with beauty bucks. When players own an entire cosmetic category, they can place Sephora shopping bags on their properties and eventually upgrade to Sephora stores; they can also get ahead by stocking their stores with the most beauty products. Lending their names to the whimsical game are some of the industry’s top beauty brands. There’s Stila in Gloss Gardens, Make Up For Ever on Lipstick Lane, Nars on Cheek Street, Murad at Cleanser Crossing, and Bliss on Lotion Avenue. The Monopoly: Sephora Edition retails for $45. I guess this may beat the boring universal Monopoly version.

Kissing Potion for Adults

Remember that yummy lip gloss from the 80’s? Kissing Potion came in every yummy bubble gummy flavor and made your lips glisten. Well times have changed and thanks to Lancome’s Juicy Gelee lip gloss, Kissing Potion has an all new meaning. It gives lips a transparent, crystal shine and has a jelly texture that melts on for a smooth finish. No more sticky mess. My favorite shade — Fruit Punch — smells like strawberries.

Price: $16.50

Samsung SGH-X830: Nano Clone + Phone

Check out this swiveling MP3 phone from Samsung, the SGH-X830, which is so tiny it would be easy to lose in your pocket. It's about the size and shape of an iPod nano but thicker. You can swivel the screen around to reveal its phone keypad, whose keys are arranged in an unconventional two-by-two layout. And looky there, it's a hint of a scroll wheel. Again. Your move, Apple.
Of course, these phones are being released in Korea first, and it's up to those squabbling US cellphone providers to decide who offers it stateside first. Please, someone pick this up soon, because we likey. Anyone notice how the latest cellphone designs are looking more Apple-like as the release of the iPhone draws nearer?

If your a coffee freak like me you'll love the new Porsche design Nespresso machine. This legal addictive stimulant maker includes a frother and a clock along with a slew of other features.

I'm not sure if this is available in the US but it is availalble in Switzerland for 1529 Fr. You can take a closer look at the design and more details on where to buy it HERE.

V - Moda Remix Metal Class Coloured Earbuds for iPods

IPod earbuds! That are pink! Sorry - that are ThatsHotPink. These are V Moda's new selection of buds in a range of Nano-friendly colours, which means you get to choose from the aforementioned pink, BlueSteel and BlingBlingBlack. As for the sounds, well, they promise to deliver "warm mids" and "crisp highs", which actually means that they'll serve you well for more general listening than their predecessors, the Bass Freq buds. They also come with a modawrap cable manager so if, like me, you're tired of having your earbuds ripped rudely from your ears every few minutes as the cable gets caught on something, you can rest easy. $50 from V Moda.

Sprucing up Your Stockings

You'll be sure to turn heads with these "Trash and Fancy" stockings from Mindwhatyouwear.com. The leggings have detailed print on them and come in various colors. They come attached to rubber heals and would look great with a cute denim mini or a plaid pleated skirt which are very in for the season. When it starts getting colder you could still match them up with opaque nylons that match your style.
