Before you embark on your summer cruise, be sure pick up and to pack Essie’s new 2013 summer nail collection. Set sail with Naughty Nautical in teal, or have a Girls Night Out with soft fuchsia.
Sunday Funday is never dull when it’s bright tangerine or go Full Steam Ahead with this pearlescent lilac hue. If you want to Rock the Boat, this shade of periwinkle blue will help while The More the Merrier will have all eyes on your electrifying lime green nails.
With these six bright and shimmering shades to choose from, any one of these colors will make every summer outing feel like an adventure, whether it’s a trip to the beach or a night out on the town. Each bottle retails for $8 and will be available starting in June 2013 at Essie.com and select stores.

For fall 2013, MANGO stays on board with the trends that are certain to be huge in the coming months. With the roll-out of the new collection in August, I can assure you there’s plenty of garment variety, along with jewelry and accessories to choose from. Within this vast collection, many of these pieces can be easily morphed into the necessary day-to-night versatility.
As a whole, the collection consisted of several tones, ranging from pale jeweled hues to dark ombré ones. One of the standouts of the MANGO collection for fall is the simplistic yet incredibly wrought attention to detailing found in the blouses and dresses. Many of these bejeweled items had metallic embellishments and were paired with everything from silk blouses to chunky wool sweaters. The embellishments either trimmed the collars or made an art-deco, chevron pattern on the chest of specific garments.
And of course , no outfit is complete without the proper accoutrement, namely, a great piece of jewelry, so MANGO makes sure it is worn via chic metallic cuffs, collar necklaces, and my personal favorite, a great pair of star earrings. See the slideshow above for a sneak pic from fall, including some sure-to-sell-out items!
