You know when you just get that funny feeling that something is going to be through and through 100% amazing? That’s how I felt about the essie cashmere matte collection, a lovely assortment of six shades featuring a semi-matte finish in verstatile shades ranging from a mauve and blue-black to camel and pearly-plush pink. If you ask me, the matte effect is THE nail look of 2015, and you can of course duplicate the effect by using a matte top coat, however none is needed with this collection.  Apply two-to-three coats after your base coat, and enjoy the instant gratification of this sophisticated finish. Each bottle retails for $8.50, available now at essie.com, fine salons, and beauty destinations nationwide.

Wearing white only in the summer is such an outdated notion that with a few easy items to consider, can transition white what you need it to be all year long. The easiest way to start is with accessories; see how it feels to participate in the look via a handbag, a pair of shoes, jewelry, or bag. Next up: let’s try winter white!

Gosh, the adidas Gazelle is such a cool sneaker! I’ve now owned two pairs in my lifetime, and in my opinion, they just look utterly sleek and sophisticated, all of the time. See here for how I styled them in late 2014, and above for some great color combinations. The brushed, gleaming suede makes them dressier than the average casual sneaker, and you know you’ve found a versatile shoe when it can hold its own in a color palette other than black.  Plus, the clean, sloping lines certainly keep them modern and timeless; which color is your favorite?
