What’s the perfect accessory that goes with all of your gladiator sandals this summer? Color, color, color on your toes! And even more color on your finger tips! Essie has launched its summer collection and I am loving all of the bold and delicious bright neon color!The summer calls for bright colored dresses and even brighter toes. The new Essie Neon Collection will rock your summer with color and attitude.
With names like Bermuda Shorts, Short Shorts, Mini Shorts, and Shorty Pants… your toes will definitely get the attention they deserve. I also love these colors for your nails. Bermuda Shorts is my favorite! I love the depth of the purple and it’s the pop of color I need for all of my summer wardrobe.
Get creative with your nails, that old pink and white French is so last year, try to add your own flavor by mixing and matching your faves. I love Short Shorts as a base color all over the nail and use the Short Pants yellow as your line at the end for the hottest new French manicure of the season!
Just have fun, your nails are an accessory to your outfit and moods so let your individual style shine through. Enjoy!

The summer is here and the sun is stronger than ever! Not to worry, hats are making a huge comeback this season and the trend is the bigger the better. I think Samantha on Sex and the City proves it in her huge woven sun hat on her deck she used to cover her face while checking out her gorgeous neighbor.
Hats are your summer accessory must have, but are a totally personal choice to how you want to show off your style. Here are some of our favorites that help give you some ideas.
The Kokin Floppy Ribbon Hat comes in black or white trim and you can find it at Bergdorf Goodman. It is absolutely fabulous and extremely durable, this will last all season into next!
The Juicy Couture Visor is so cute and can be worn with just about anything! You will definitely be the cutest girl out on the golf course with this sassy pink hat. Remember, hats are very personal, so style it up the way you want to show off.
Don’t forget about the summer must have! The Fedora Hat! All the celebs are sporting this one on set, off set, shopping, whatever! It is such a great way to cover up a bad hair day!


…and with Indiana Jones being all the rage among the guys, a fedora for him isn’t a bad idea at all!

I know that I, personally, don’t think that everyone needs to know everything about me. If I’m wearing my signature scent, I would like to keep it MY signature scent! Here’s the perfect way to keep it that way. With these atomizers, you can fill them with whatever you’d like and be on your way. When you’re in the ladies lounge and

someone asks what fragrance your wearing (because it’s not on any label), you say…It was made for me, personally.
The other idea that they’re giving for these atomizers that I love is to carry them filled with your favorite mouthwash. How cool would it be to pull out this pretty atomizer for mouthwash?
One for you, two for me.

Most women, up until the 1960’s brushed their hair daily before going to bed. Because styles changed and more people started to wash their hair more often, brushing went out of style.
Brushing your hair actually does serve a purpose; it cleans and stimulates the scalp and takes the sebum (your own natural oil) from the root of each hair follicle through the strand keeping the ends of your hair as shiny and supple looking as the root.
Mason Pearson has been making the BEST brush (for brushing, not for styling) since the 1860’s in London.
Everyone should actually brush their hair 15 times in each direction (front, back, left to right and right to left) before going to bed each night. You’ll find that once you start brushing you won’t need to wash your hair as often and it (as well as your scalp) will become much healthier over time. It also feels great.
You’ll want to choose the correct brush for your hair type and length.
- Pure Boar Bristle is for Fine to Normal hair
- Mixted Bristle and Nylon is for Thicker Waivy hair
- and Nylon is for Thick Course or Curly Hair
The Sizes of the brushes are determined by the length of your hair. The shorter the hair, the smaller the brush, the longer the hair, the larger the brush.
They also make a Detangler brush that’s excellent.
Once you try it you’ll be hooked.
The brushes are on the expensive side but worth every cent.
