Adidas New Blue Label Collection, A.039 Hits the Streets

by

Once upon a time Adidas sprinkled a touch of Stella McCartney on their fashion-conscious sportswear collection before sticking it in the oven. And alas, gone were the days of awkwardly tight, camel-toe cinching athletic leggings to make room for more stylish work out gear. This week Adidas again pushes the limits of athletic apparel, launching its new blue label collection, A.039. Promising more “outfit driven” looks, the styles are designed to function both in the gym and everywhere else the day may take you. Browse the rest of the collection here.

image001The 3D Avatar experience has many idealists crooning the mundane earth blues. On February 4th, Adidas offers you a chance to escape our bleak reality when Snoop Dogg unveils the brand’s new galactic collection. On Thursday morning, the rapper will join Darth Vader in leading the Stormtroopers on a revamped Imperial March through Times Square to  the brand’s flagship store in Soho. This unprecedented journey climaxes when Snoop Dogg reveals the new Luke Skywalker sneaker. Yeah, we’ll be there.image002

JeanStraps: Your Boots Have a New BFF

by

IMG_1271

After suffering from ‘jean bunch’ for way to long (when your jeans get all bunched up in your boots and actually feels majorly uncomfortable/a little painful), I was quite intrigued when I heard about a crafty product called Jean Straps. For $10, you can get a set of stirrups that are removable and adjustable, made to keep your jeans (I also tested corduroys) in place while you want have to do all the creative tucking work to get your boot zipper to actually go up all the way! It’s recommended to put on the straps before you put the jeans on (and remove them before you wash the jeans) but once I was forgetful and did it after the jeans were on (it just took longer). The gals from the company/inventresses Tni Newhoff and Erin Tocalino have been absolutely a pleasure to work with, and I know that the neat little gadget (its foolproof, I promise!) is going to catch on rapidly, so get in on the secret early and skip the sweating, grunts, and gyrations that can come with putting your boots on!

It’s on for Valentine’s Day!

by

What to get, what to give? Yeah, it can be complicated — here are our tops picks, from the semi-obvious tot he obscure, but perfect for the occasion! Even if you don’t have a Valentine as of yet, we think all of these items also make ‘I deserve it’  gifts for yourself.

Here’s some tips:

4EA15GMCRY-MMimi by Sorrelli Earrings, $35.20

We’re kind of obsessed with the new little sister line Mimi by Sorrelli, and thought these earrings were the perfect foil to traditional diamond earrings; they are incredibly chic and the price point is just right!

V290553_RCAT7The Lacie, from Victoria’s Secret, 3 for $30

An amazing deal right now, get The Lacie brief, thong, or hiphugger at this price (usually $30); if you like Hanky Panky, you’ll LOVE The Lacie!

9562nauNautica Windowpane Velour Robe from BareNecessities.com,$20.99 (was $85)

Yet another unbelievable price; I think that most guys could use a robe (instead of walking around in their underwear).

Hunter Boots: Original Lace Short Boot, $125

We’re digging this silhouette for Hunter, and the color is definitely perfect to make it a V-Day Gift!

The Natural, Satin Nipple Covers or Sexy Plunge Bra

So you’ve got a hot date; why not wear something that’s been living in your closet for quite some time, silently begging you to ‘take the plunge’?


Picture 2Oral B Pulsonic Toothbrush, $59.99 (was $75)

Seems random, but take care of you and your loved one’s hygiene for V-Day! This brush features a 2-minute timer setting, two modes to clean, and a precision tip brush. By an extra brush head for your significant other and share!

Picture 3Picture 4Picture 5

Sandalwood Fig Collection, Bath & Body Works, $9.50-$19.50

The latest fragrance (we are in love with this scent, by the way), that in our opinion, is completely unisex! Indulge in a candle, massage oil, or the body wash & foam bath.

Helping Haiti is Only a Click Away

by

Level your guilty shopping impulse by buying items from one (or all) of the many brands that are donating a percentage of their sales to support the Haiti tragedy. 15% of your online purchases at kooba.com are directed to help earthquake victims, so justify splurging on a girly-named tote, even if it’s on sale. Who knew that slinging a soft black leather Juliet over your shoulder could be charitable?

Carry the theme of support into your V-day celebration and coax your boy-toy into ordering you his fantasy lingerie from Hanky Panky- 10% of all web sales go to the American Red Cross. Take it from Lady Gaga, red is sexy and supportive! image007Relentlessly challenging is coming up with a gift for your man (aside from electronics and comic books, what do guys really need?) Fortunately, Anthony.com is donating 10% of ACTION Anthony Men’s products to the long-standing Partners in Health who are already helping the impoverished people in Haiti. base_media

Havaianas flip flopped 7,000 pairs of sandals to the cause in conjunction with Soles4Souls, who are providing shoes and boots for survivors to seek out others still stuck in the wreckage. It may not be the season just yet, but with 30% of proceeds going to the American Red Cross that surely gives grounds for acquiring a pair of “Little Bird” sandals on LuckyMag.com.

Should your shoe collection be too extensive to fit into a much too small wardrobe, perhaps you should consider donating a pair of last season’s gently worn heels to Sigerson Morrison to receive 15% off the Spring/Summer Collection and an additional 10% off sales merchandise. A pair of shoes is always an investment and even more so until February 28th with proceeds going to Soles4Souls and the Haiti Relief Fund. Self-indulgent? Hardly. unknown[Image via tuckerpaisley.com]

Veritably, Christina Aguilera and Lacy Chabert are bundling themselves up in Love for Haiti – literally.  The signature print fringe scarf by Tucker Paisley promises to both keep you warm this winter and donate 10% of sales to the American Red Cross (sold here).

We’ve all suffered the disaster that is static winter hair – solution? Make an appointment at Red Market Salon for February 1st to boost volume for both your hair and Haiti relief efforts. While you get pampered by Parisian stylists, all profits from the day go to Wyclef Jean’s organization, Yele Haiti.
