You DESERVE This: The Daniel Green Kiki Slipper

by

People who know me and pay attention to horoscope signs tell me that I’m am ‘totally a cancer,” which among other attributes, such as being sensitive, we are total homebodies. Since I am the epitome of my sign, being a homebody means that I like to have nice, comfortable lounge items, and thanks to the brand Daniel Green, I get in a little r&r in these fab velvet corduroy ruby slippers.

The ultra soft and stylish Daniel Green Kiki Slipper is lightweight with a soft velour lining and a sole that lets you go outside in case you need to grab the mail or take the dog on a quick walk. Other color options include purple, black, or teal, but the red is by far, my favorite! This slipper looks great, feels good, and subscribes to the idea that even though you’re in the comfort of your home, you still can look fashionable! Plus, Daniel Green is offering a special for Fashion Pulse Daily readers: receive 15% off the very same style as me, the “Kiki” from Nov. 1 – 15 by entering the promo code “FPD15” at checkout, along with free shipping and free returns. I hope you will soon be as comfy at home as me!

Alessandra Ambrosio Loves Melissa! (thefind Guest Post)

by

From our friends at thefind.com:

As one of the world’s most recognizable supermodels, Alessandra Ambrosio is used to wearing gravity-defying heels on the runway… or, as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, no shoes at all. But she’s putting her hidden designer talents to a good use towards a much comfier shoe purpose – a capsule collection for Melissa! Known for their high-end, comfortable rubber footwear that extends far beyond the tried-and-true jelly sandal, the UK brand has teamed up with Ale to create festive versions on the Incense heel and Divine flats, just in time for the 2012 holiday season! Fun, girly, ultra-shiny, this cutesie bow flats and glittery pumps are inspired by the model’s own personal day-to-night style and her love for wearing Melissa shoes while growing up (the brand is over 40 years old!). The flats are great for dressing up a casual look, while the glittery pumps are perfect for a party where you need to sparkle and stand out! Check them out on the official Melissa site!

Charging the iPhone in Style with a Boostcase

by

[Resting my BoostCase’d iPhone, my iPad, and the latest issue of People on my flight’s tray table]

One of my major complaints/daily anxiety regarding my iPhone is a result of it’s battery life; I never seem to be able to sustain it an entire day without being able to charge it. I perpetually close the apps, turn the light off, and try not to constantly touch it. I have a portable, wireless charger that I tend to have in my bag with me, however, at most, I can get a 25% charge out of it.

[The removed Boostcase Hybrid battery charger sleeve]

Luckily, I was given a Boostcase Hybrid ($79.99) to review,which has the capacity to fully charge the iPhone 4 or 4S while on the go. I thought, what better way to really give the product a test than during my recent travels, so I slid my phone into the case and added the detachable battery charger sleeve so that by the time I went through the routine of heading to the airport, flying, and finally arriving at my destination, my battery was fully charged and ready to roll. I turned my phone on airplane mode and let the Boostcase do its thing during boarding and while ‘electronically approved devices’ were allowed to be in use.

Although it is lightweight and slim, it’s great to be able to remove the charging portion for extra ease of phone usage and space. I would definitely recommend getting a Boostcase for iPhone users that are as paranoid as me about losing battery life, and you can choose from three other color options for this particular style (black, magenta, or white). Once you’ve drained your Boostcase battery, you can recharge it, with our without your iPhone in it, which will take about three hours.

This Week I Look Fabulous in Prescription Sunglasses From Firmoo.com

by


People sometimes look at me incredulously when I tell them that I pretty much order all of my prescription eyeglass and sunglass needs online. It really is so easy; most sites offer generous return policies as well, so if your frames look straight up goofy on you — you can return/exchange for another more face-flattering pair.  As a rule of thumb, go with what works for your face, opposed to what is the latest trend in eyewear; you will certainly be happier with them in the long run. One silhouette that looks fabulous on a variety of face shapes, both men and women,  is the classic aviator.

Courtesy of the brand,  I tested a pair of the Firmoo Metal Aviator Sunglasses with my subscription in the lens. The glasses arrived with a hard case, a soft case, a cleaning cloth, and a repair kit, and I wore them for an outdoor lunch at Union Square this week. Fashion, let me introduce you to function; I can now see clearly, and look stylish, when the sun is shining outside!
