Nails Like Zooey Deschanel: Rad Nails Wraps
June 6th, 2013 by kpriss
Everybody’s favorite quirky little lady is a nails fanatic and that makes her even more adorable. Because I’m a self confessed nails obsessed and I always keep an eye out for nail polish news.
And music. Why I’m bringing that to the table as well? Because there’s a new She & Him album ready to be released. And with it, a limited edition Rad Nails wraps will be available as well. Nail wraps, my dahlings, are everyone’s favorite manicure-on-the-go right now: remember Beyonce’s foils we talked about a while back? Well, these ones are not as high glitz as Queen B’s but that doesn’t make me love them less!

The World According To Karl, The Ultimate Wisdom Book!
June 6th, 2013 by kpriss
Over the years, we talked about the memorable lines Karl Lagerfeld keeps us entertained with, so it’s not really a surprise to see that there were so many quotes to make an entire book! A regular, conventional book sampling der Kaiser’s unparalleled wisdom.
The name of the book itself is highly appropriate, describing in just a single line, the entire philosophy of the book: ‘The World According to Karl‘. Published by Flammarion and, according to wwd, in total accord with Karl whose website features regular lines from the famous pensive designer. 80 illustrations from Charles Ameline accompany the book, and, I suspect, a few good shots of the already famous Choupette, the new recipient of all of Karl’s love, tenderness and commitment!
What? have you not hear the one where he said he wanted to marry his cat? (he didn’t say that once about his former existential pet, Baptiste… What’s next, Karl, a video, a musical album for Choupette?)

Gadget Undecover: World’s Best Tablet Case!
June 6th, 2013 by kpriss
You know the iPad/tablet is the gadget everyone loves. At such point that it may just surpass the sales of home personal computers that will soon become the dusty dinosaurs that take so much place and have so many wires! Tablets are just so very versatile! And since everyone can own one, from your 3yo Sweetie Pie to your 80yo Nana, their appeal is considerably wider than that of a common keyboard-screen-unit tower ensemble.
But you don’t have to take my word for it, wait and see! Now that the overly exclusive iPads have been surpassed by so many other similar products constantly growing in popularity, everyone can own a tablet. Literally! Now: how do you keep your tablet safe and protected? For the past couple of years, the tablet case battle has been ever-so interesting as haute designers and small creative offices released case after case, swearing that theirs will keep your tablet safer than the next, that they’ll offer the best looking protection there is on the market!
Until today, I haven’t been able to say, hand on my heart, that I found the perfect iPad/tablet case! But with the Stealth Tablet case, things have changed!
Naomi Campbell Vladimir Doronin Face Off With Luo Zilin
June 5th, 2013 by kpriss
Don’t you just love a healthy dose of fashion gossip? Forget the CFDA! The talk of the week is about Naomi Campbell and her fashionable relationships. For those who, just like me, don’t watch her TV antics, ‘The Face’ is where Naomi fills up her schedule up to such point that she and her longtime boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin had to call it quits. Naomi likes to keep herself busy.
But judging from the latest paparazzi reports, so does her now ex-boyfriend, changing model after model from the above mentioned separation announcement, this May. Just a few days back he was reportedly spotted, again on his yacht, with Naomi-lookalike model, Georgie Badiel. Now, his latest conquest: Luo Zilin, an Asian aspiring model who just flew too close from the sun and got toasted. By Naomi!

Lauren Conrad’s New Hair And New Bedding Collection
June 5th, 2013 by kpriss
Isn’t it nice to finally see someone jump from a reality show into a show-worthy reality? I keep an eye out for Lauren Conrad since her Hills days and can hardly believe it that this girl used to hang out with Heidi Montag! But then again, Heidi wasn’t fashion schooled like LC here!
So while her reality show costar pushed herself on the plastic surgery table for an entire day and then plunged into oblivion for the rest of her days, Lauren keeps leading an active life professionally and socially through her continuously creative initiatives. Her latest? A bedding collection with Khol’s, where she distributes her clothing collection as well!
Helena Bonham Carter As Elizabeth Taylor Looks Like This:
June 5th, 2013 by kpriss
I remember thinking that having Lindsay Lohan impersonating the grand Liz Taylor was a mistake. But then, after careful consideration, I slowly came to terms with that reality and made peace with LiLo’s incarnation of Liz. Because they have so much in common!
When I saw Vogue UK’s Helena Bonham Carter cover, I imagined there would have to be a movie behind it. Something beyond the Lone Ranger (which wasn’t all that appreciated. Because now people are more sensitive to how the race matter is handled on the big/small screen than on the cinematographically strong value of the actual filmed product.) And that’s how I found out about Helena Bonham Carter being the next Elizabeth Taylor. In yet another incarnation of the endlessly legendary story of Richard Burton and Liz Taylor. Dominic West is playing Mr. Burton and their performance is part of a TV film that will premiere this fall on BBC America. Will it be better than Liz&Dick? We’ll wait and see…
Superheroes Use Superformula Against All Evil! Amazing DC Comics Initiative!
June 4th, 2013 by kpriss
Now since I got started about motherhood and all… This was a no-keeper! I just had to share! We’re sometimes having the roughest of times explaining some medical concepts to our children. From birth to medication and death, kids are ever-so-curious about every existential detail! We always said we’d be honest with our kids and we’ll do our best to explain everything to them, with the best words and examples they can wrap around their tiny pretty heads!
But this totally blew me! Partnering up with Warner Bros., the advertising agency JWT and the A.C. Camargo Cancer Center from Sao Paulo, Brazil, a special super-campaign was initiated, especially designed and designated for the children who battle with cancer!
Strolling Style: Longboard Baby Stroller
June 4th, 2013 by kpriss
I actually have a few expecting mothers to whom I could recommend this! I know, it’s not your typical style feature, but you know I tend to do this! Especially if it intersects motherhood…
Are you familiar with Quinny? They make these awesomely compact urban strollers I really loved looking at. Yes, you’re reading that right. Although I appreciate the qualities of a Quinny stroller, my heart will always be with MacLaren. The connaisseurs know why! (wink)
Anywhoo, this is a Quinny hybrid. And, like all hybrids, this is a hipster item. Something you must own just because. And I’m not saying it’s not fun, it sure looks like a lot of fun from the pictures, but, really? A Longboard Stroller? We used to stroll with our roller-skates on. Until one day I didn’t have time to brake. So the first thing I’ll ask about this Longboard Stroller designed by Quinny and Studio Peter van Riet: where are the brakes? (there’s a short video after the jump with the ‘test stroll’)
