Barneys Sale: Manolo Blahnik Pepe

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:18 GMT

I'm not normally a fan of the shoes that have a thick ankle cuff. They always look too chunky and clunky for my taste. But these Manolo Blahnik patent leather sandals are an exception for me. Originally priced at $745, these pretty Manolo Blahnik Pepe features an open toe and back, along with a wide elastic ankle band.

Originally priced at $745, you can find these

Review: ChapStick True Shimmer

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:15 GMT

ChapStick True Shimmer ($2.99) is traditional ChapStick with pearly white glitter in it. My favorite is Tropical, it's pineapple-coconutty. A little bit too frosty for my lips. No SPF. I like the flavor, but it could use some SPF and maybe a little bit of pink to offset the frostiness. Read more reviews at Total Beauty. Available in:
Botanical Berry
Tropical

Deals at Crabtree & Evelyn

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:28 GMT

This week, Crabtree & Evelyn just announced it is one of — what, thousands? — of shops to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy within the last few months. I've always preferred their body lotions and soaps to Bath & Body's line and found the news sad and disappointing. And then I visited their website and learned how I could pitch in to help keep them afloat, while stocking up on wonderful products.

As you can imagine, there are some major sales cooking at Crabtree, with select items, including solid perfumes and home fragrances, slashed by up to 75 percent off their retail price.

Found Solid Perfume

Some of their body lotions and creams are buy two, get the third one free — and I'm delighted to see the Rosewater Triple-Milled Soap with Cold Cream is one.

Rosewater Triple-Milled Soap with Cold Cream

I've tried La Source Mini Revitalising Mineral Muscle Soak and can't believe it's going for just $5. Infused with peppermint, it soothes your muscles and makes for a perfectly fresh and relaxing summer bath treatment.

Act quickly — these deals may not last!

Vladimir Karaleev SS2010

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:08 GMT

Vladi lud mithilfe der Agentur V in die Coma Gallery in der Leipziger Straße und präsentierte in stimmigem Ambiente und bei Cellomusik seine kommende Sommerkollektion. Wie immer alles Einzelstücke und das meiste davon auch ganz herrlich! Ob man nun viel Geld für Teile ausgeben mag, die irgendwie so aussehen, als hätte man sie schnell selbst zusammengenäht und rein zufällig ein tolles Kleidungsstück gezaubert, das sei jedem selbst überlassen... Also ich mag schon. Hinzu kommt, dass Vladimir selbst sehr groß ist und ein Herz für große Frauen hat (so sieht es aus!), für die seine Teile ausschließlich gemacht zu sein scheinen. Ein Teil nenne ich mein und es werden sicher noch mehr werden!
