by

As part of the site’s new redesign, I will also be revamping some of the categories and features. The latest newness to FPD is the “Fashion Pulse Flash” feature, which includes tiny tidbits of info so that you can get the gist of the latest, exciting fashion and beauty news and product launches, along with what I have recently experienced and loved.

Diane von Furstenberg and BabyGap: The Limited Edition Explorers Collection just hit stores and online this past week, and I went shop to shop this second installment of the GapKids + DVF Collection, exclusively for girls ranging from newborn to age fourteen, the night before it debuted nation wide. Perfectly printed, pleated dresses were a popular choice amongst the kid-friendly accessories, including sunglasses, beach balls, book bags, and even tiny espadrille ankle-strap flats. If you have a daughter in this age range, or know someone that does, the limited edition, unique pieces certainly make for a perfect gift! Prices range from $15 for small accessories to $150 for the Diaper Bag, while clothing ranges from $25 – $70.

essie neon collection 2013

Essie’s new neon shades, alongside Jockey “Rachel Zoe must-have” tanks and a Persifor bag.

 

The essie 2013 neon collection, which just came out as of yesterday (May 1), features six fabulous new shades (plus a white option, “blanc,” featured above) to get you in the mood for some wild nights in your near future! We’ve been adding neon accents to our clothing and accesories for several seasons now, so it’s high time that our digits get the same treatment. Plus, at $8 per bottle, you can snap up a few of these life of the party shades in names such as “dj play that song,” “bouncer, it’s me,”  “shake your $$ maker,” and “bottle service.” Essie recommends using a base of , then a coat of white to really let the neon blast through, followed by two coats of the neon shade of your choice, finished off with a top coat.

Mascaras of the moment:

covergirl and physicians formula mascaras

I’ve had a pretty heavy rotation of these two mascaras lately, the COVERGIRL LashBlast Clump Crusher ($6.94) hanging out in my portable makeup bag, while the Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin FakeOut Mascara ($9.95) stays on my vanity at home.  The Clump Crusher does an excellent job of keeping my lashes separated yet lengthened, without any excess goo or hardneing to create a visibly defined look that makes me feel über feminine. the FakeOut Mascara has natural fibers and preservatives that hydrate, moisturize, condition, and soothe the lashes with ingredients such as organic aloe and cucumber, and remains free of parabens, GMO’s and synthetic fragrances.

Start out the New Year with Sexy Soles

by

Let your insoles multi-task while your feet relax with the Foot Petals Sexy Soles Customizable inserts. Cut down to match your shoe size and shoe shape – round or pointy toe options. Here’s what it does:

  • reduces sweaty soles via the material PORON
  • includes arch support
  • absorbs shock
  • is non-latex and hypoallergenic

After receiving a pair for review and analyzing my options, I decided these would definitely come in handy in a pair of United Nude Lo-Res heels that after standing in for a few hours, all I can think about is getting home and soaking my feet! The Sexy Soles insoles retail for $18.95 and are available at mass retailers nationwide, as well as FootPetals.com, ShoeBuy.com, and Amazon.com. *Note: I trimmed a full size down for these to fit into my shoes, so don’t be afraid to cut off more than your actual shoe size so that it comfortably fits, without bunching, or sliding, in your footwear.

Foot Petals 3-Step Sole-Utionz

by

After last night, my feet hate me. Standing in heels for six hours wasn’t exactly what they had in mind, but they had to go with the flow. Now, I need to thank them for being a good sport. I recently received the  FootPetals 3-Step Sole-Utionz kit, that includes the Pedi Fume, Sweaty Pedi, and Rose Killer Kushionz. Available as a set or separately, these items strive to give your feet the pampering they deserve. I’ve used the Kushionz in shoes before, which gives you some extra padding for the insoles of practically any shoe style you choose, but the other items were new to me. First, I used the Pedi Fume which is a clear gel that includes aloe, silicone, arnica, and jojoba wax. Immediately I realized that it wasn’t the heaviness that other foot creams had provided, but rather a soothing and moisturizing product that absorbed quickly into my tired feet. I felt a tingling sensation, so next, I sprayed the Sweaty Pedi on top, which is formulated with menthol, tea tree, wasabi extract, lavender, and vanilla, which had a rather pleasant aroma which wasn’t too overbearing or obvious. A dual benefit of the Sweaty Pedi is that it also helps to protect feet from friction and blisters due to its anti-perspirant and softening silicone, which is quite okay with me! If you’re interested in giving your feet a little treat too, the kit retails for $44.95, while each item can be purchased individually from $9.95-$12.95.
