Get SWATH nails from Deborah Lippman!

My Dear Friends,


Are you an innocent princess or an evil queen?

That's the question you'll need to answer when picking your nail color when you snap up this limited edition set from nail polish genius Deborah Lippman

Deborah has created a limited edition nail lacquer set that includes two shades—one good and one evil.  The set is inspired by the movie Snow White & The Huntsman, which releases in theaters today.

The 'Snow White & The Huntsman' Nail Lacquer Set ($25) includes two shades, titled “Prelude to a Kiss” (a sweet, classy pink) and “Dark Side of the Moon” (a femme fatale dark red), giving you two ways to tack onto the fairytale trend, no matter if you’re feeling naughty or nice.

Review: Gaiam Stretch Jegging Capri

My Dear Friends,

Some of you may remember my reviews of Gaiam products (you can find these posts here and here), so you're aware of the story - but for those of you new to the blog, let me fill you in.


"Founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1988, Gaiam is a provider of information, goods and services to customers who value the environment, a sustainable economy, healthy lifestyles, alternative healthcare and personal development.  Gaiam (pronounced "guy-um"), is a fusion of the words "Gaia" and "I am".  Gaia, mother Earth, was honored on the Isle of Crete in ancient Greece 5,000 years ago by the Minoan civilization. This civilization valued education, art, science, recreation, and the environment and believed that the Earth was directly connected to its existence and daily life. The concept of Gaia stems from the ancient philosophy that the Earth is a living entity. At Gaiam, we believe that all of the Earth's living matter, air, oceans and land form an interconnected system that can be seen as a single entity. The word Gaiam represents planetary awareness, preservation and support of the interconnectivity of all living things. By nurturing, protecting and respecting our planet, its natural resources and its inhabitants, we enrich our own lives and those of future generations." - Gaiam.Com


Today I'm reviewing the Gaiam Stretch Jegging Capri in 'Dark Sand' which retail for $78.  These Capri's are made from lightweight, soft & stretchy jean fabric made with 95% organic cotton/5% spandex.
They include jean-style back pockets & rivets on the front faux pockets.  There's a 1" flat elastic waistband and a faux fly.  These are fully machine washable.


Here are a few different ways to style these:


Style Set - Gaiam




Style Set - Gaiam #2




Style Set - Gaiam #3



The Gaiam website is filled with great things for your home, your lifestyle, and your closet.  Visit them at their website, or check them our via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and/or RSS Feed.


 *This review was made possible by Gaiam.  I received the stretch jegging capri pants to review in exchange for an honest review.  No money exchanged hands and all opinions are my own.  Thank you, Gaiam!
