Dylan’s Candy Bar for LeSportsac Satisfies Your Sweet Tooth AND Your Bag Obsession
From our friends at thefind.com:
Dylan’s Candy Bar (the trendy, technicolor sweet shop from Ralph Lauren’s daughter Dylan), is a must-see destination in any major city – whether you’re or a hungry tourist looking for more gummies than you’d know what to do with, or a local candy fiend in need of your daily sugar fix. Now, Dylan is expanding her candy empire by extending into the world of accessories, thanks to a recent collaboration with LeSportsac! The collection, which is the perfect addition to any student’s back-to-school arsenal, contains a series of styles in three different dessert-inspired prints: Sweet Talk, Candy Spill, and Sugar Cube. The line also contains two additional specialty pieces: a “Sugar Stash” tote and a lunch bag-inspired “Sac of Sweets.” Personally, this collection makes me hungry just looking at it, but I know quite a few candy-obsessed girls who would fall head-over-heels for this sugar-sweet collection of totes, pouches, and weekenders!

The aptly named collection, which retails for a very reasonable $8 per bottle, is (from left to right): the lace is on, twin setter set, afterschool boy blazer, for the twill of it vested interest, and cashmere bathrobe. Which hue is your favorite (I can’t decide!!)?
One of my absolute favorite luxury hair care lines, Kérastase has a new collection of couture stylers that create to-die-for texture and hold with micronized polymers for style memory. Before I get too science-y on you, the micronized polymers broken down, basically adheres to each hair’s fiber as best described as a resistant yet stretchable mesh guard that expands to protect the hair while providing UV protection alongside being anti-frizz and anti-humidity.
