NARS SILVER ODYSSEY: A Limited-Edition Collection Doing Unlimited Good

I’ve been pretty much ignoring Fashion’s Night Out this year, just like every year, but when I saw this news, it totally caught my attention.  NARS created the limited-edition Silvery Odyssey collection featuring Via Crispi Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner (a fave!) and Space Odyssey Nail Polish.  The metallic silvery colors are celebrated in the campaign image, taken from the archives of famed photographer, Guy Bourdin (another fave).  Bourdin is one of the most significant fashion photographers of the 20th century and also a personal favorite of Francois Nars himself.

On Thursday, September 8th (Fashion’s Night Out), NARS will post Bourdin’s arresting image on their Facebook wall and encourage fans to “Like” the image and on Twitter, NARS followers can tweet their support using the hash tag #SilverOdyssey.

For all who participate, NARS will make a donation to the New York City AIDS Fund, the official charity of Fashion’s Night Out in New York.

Why I’m Obsessed with Kid Clothes (and a $25 Gift Card Giveaway!)

Maybe it’s my “maternal clock ticking” or whatever you want to call it, but I can’t help but go totally crazy googly-eyed over adorbale children’s clothing lately.  I think my two year old nephew, Mark, plays a big part in this – I seriously die every time he puts on an outfit that I buy him…he’s tre chic.  Anyway, right now I’m obsessed with shopping at The Children’s Place for him, and specifically I bought every item in the outfit above.  Yes, it’s true…Mark is the best dressed two year old in New York, people.

The infamous (and soon the be launched) Missoni for Target collection will also have baby and kid clothes (featured above as well, on the right), though not sure if they have anything for boys…but the girl clothes are a-dorbable.

Giveaway!  The nice people at The Children’s Place are offering a $25 gift card to one of my lucky readers!!!  To win, just comment on this post and I’ll choose one winner at random on September 8th at 5pm PST.  Good luck!

Gold Fever

I’ve had a serious accessory problem lately, so I wanted to share some of my latest finds– I’ve totally got gold fever. (clockwise)

House of Harlow 1960 Antiqued Pave Rose Gold Arrow Bracelet: At first glance, I didn’t think I’d like the arrow but it totally grew on me.  I love rose gold and this bracelet is great for girls with small wrists, since you bend the bracelet to fit.

Forever21 Tiered Brick Road Earrings: You would never have known these were from Forever21 if I didn’t tell you.  I love these.  And they’re super light, making them easy to wear.

Yochi Layered Statement Necklace: I’m way into statement necklaces lately and this version from Yochi is simple but modern and fun.

Obsession: SH-RD Protein Cream

I’m constantly trying new hair products that are supposed to be “amazing” and “revolutionary” but it’s rare that any of the products actually are what they describe.  Enter SH-RD, aka the real deal.  The cream is formulated with a silk protein complex that combines the moisture and protection of silk amino acid and hydrolyzed silk protein to smooth and seal the hair cuticle.  It locks in moisture while strengthening the hair shaft = perfection.  As an added bonus, the cream also contains ingredients that protect from UV rays, heat (styling tools) and chlorine damage.

LUSH Shark Fin Soap

If you know me, you know I love me some Shark Week which is exactly why this new soap from LUSH caught my attention.  Besides the fact that it has an awesome shark FIN sticking out of it, LUSH Shark Fin Soap actually benefits (100%!) a non-profit called Shark Savers, dedicated to the protection and conservation of sharks.

Even if you are terrified of sharks, who isn’t really, we all know that they’re vital to the ocean’s eco system…but ok, even if you hope all sharks die, this soap makes a HILARIOUS gift for your friend who loves to surf or paddle board.
