It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Sorel -pretty much all my friends, family, and readers know that, but you may or may not know, that I love hooking you up, reader, with free Sorels! I gave away a pair of the Sorel Torino Boots exactly a year ago, & now is the time to gift one more pair to you, compliments of Sorel! Elle MacPherson, Kate Hudson, Jessica Biel and Matt Damon have been spotted wearing Sorels, and guess who’s next? You!

Since Sorel will be at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, in order to enter to win a free pair of Sorels, any pair you like (subject to availability), please answer the question “What would you pack, if you were going to Sundance?” See Rules of Entry below for all the details.

Taupe Pumps: The New Year’s Spin on Nude! (thefind Guest Post)

by

From our friends at thefind.com:

By now, every fashionable gal has incorporated at least one pair of nude pump into her wardrobe — whether sky-high platforms to be paired with nearly any night-out dress, or more day-friendly kitten heels to rock with her favorite pair of jeans or work slacks. Either way, the nude heel has had a long run (and the style will probably will continue to thrive), but it’s time to welcome a new neutral for the new year of trends ahead! Taupe pumps may not have the same leg-lengthening “invisible” quality as full-on skin tone pumps do (well, I suppose it depends on your skin tone!), but it’s still a goes-with-everything neutral shade that looks sleek yet chic with pants, skirts, tights, etc. The shade is slightly more unexpected and therefore a fresher take on the tried-and-true nude hue, and also balances out louder prints and florals that are bound to start cropping up as the weather warms up for spring!

Avon’s 12-in-1 Shimmering Eye Palette

by

Unless it is on my nails, I usually don’t  like glitter or shimmer in my makeup. BUT in the Avon 12-in-1 Shimmering Eye Palette, $20, the shimmer is so subtle, I feel like I’m wearing something way more matte than the title might allude to. Colors that work with every eye color can be found in this palette, and I love the long, slender packaging with two applicator brushes, because come on – for 12 colors, one brush jut isn’t going to cut it! I used the third color from the left as a base, and then a thin line of the green (second from right) along the lash line, and was relieved to discover that these are certainly office appropriate hues, despite the fact that they define your eyes, they don’t make them sparkle like a disco ball.
