As expected, the fashion world trudges on! 
*J.Crew opens a new mens concept store next to Topshop in Soho at 484 Broadway.
*Speaking of Topshop, the Barbara Hulanicki collection is chugging along just fine.
*Anna Sui designs for Target! The Gossip Girl inspired line is destined to be fabulous. Bad news: you’ve got to wait until September 13th to buy it!
*Almay’s PureBlends Volumizing Mascara will hit shelves in July, is made of 97.5% natural ingredients, and will cost just $6.99
*Forever 21 launches a juniors plus-size line called Faith 21
*Marc Jacobs comes up with a follow-up juice to his incredibly popular Daisy fragrance, dubbed “Lola“. We have a feeling this one’s going to be equally, if not more incredible.

I really don’t think I need to do any convincing with this Stud Earring Set; how oftern can you get twelve pairs of earrings for $4.80!?!? These are styles that go with everything, and hey, if you lose a pair, you’re only down about 80 cents, and you’ve got two other identical pairs to compensate. If you’re feeling that 12 pairs may be a little too much, split them with a sister, Mom, or best friend — they are guaranteed to love you even more!

I’m constantly on the quest for environmentally friendly everything, and clothing is no different. I’ve become obsessed with the organic cotton and recycled fiber garments from Alternative Apparel, but oftentimes organic means pricey, and not always the best of quality either (the garments can get “pilly” rather quickly). My boyfriend’s Mom told me about Seed Supply Co , currently offered at Wal-Mart, that offers incredibly soft and stylish organic cotton pants, tees, tanks, and leggings ranging from only $4-$10. These pricepoints are amazing for organic goods, and I have to commend Wal-Mart for using their buying in massive bulk power in a more conscientious way. My favorite? Definitely the Organic Cotton Tank Dress, which will be just perfect on a steamy, 90 degree Manhattan day.

It’s pretty much common knowledge amongst women of all ages that Maybelline makes incredible mascara. So with the new vibrating mascara trend, it’s only natural that Maybelline enter the arena with a vibrating version of their own. The Maybelline Pulse Perfection, which I got to test recently, puts out 7,000 vibrations per minute, which results in longer, thicker lashes, as well as not clumping and mimicing the zig zag motion of mascara application performed by professional makeup artists.
I must admit- at first I was a little nervous – what if it move too fast? What if I get mascara all over my face or it splatters elsewhere? Within two seconds, I realized that none of these things were going to happens for two reasons: 1) unlike other vibrating mascaras that come vibrating the second you free the wand from the tube, Maybelline’s Pulse is manual, so you control when it should vibrate. 2) The vibration is relatively faint, and easy to control, really making it no different than applying any other mascara application. I immediately noticed a difference of longer lashes, and have quickly placed the Pulse Perfection in the coveted spot of bathroom cabinet (instead of the overcrowded makeup organizer perched on a shelf in the bedroom).
The Maybelline Pulse Perfection mascara comes in “black” and “very black”, retails for $14.95, and will make its debut in stores in June. Can’t wait that long? You’re in luck: on May 18th, there will be a special online preview day for 24 hours only to buy the mascara. Simply go to www.Maybelline.com/Pulse, which will take you to one of four retailers: CVS, Target, Walgreens or Walmart to purchase the mascara.
