Brooks Brothers Manicure Set

Cosmetics and Fragrance


It seems a bit excessive that one really needs all of these tools featured here by Brooks Brothers for their Manicure Set to maintain good daily hygiene/grooming. But I suppose since I am a bit lazy and prefer to get a manicure and pedicure rather than doing it myself, this seems like too much. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t walk around with jacked up nails and overgrown eyebrows either. If you would rather a complete manicure set, Brooks Brothers …

Georgette Ghingam Check Wedges

Shoes

I am not too sure what to make of these Wedges by Georgette Ghingam. The black and white checkerboard print gives a sense of elegance while the pink embroidered flowers adds a more lighthearted and girly appeal - but is this wearable? A wedge for the summer is a given. Wedges are everywhere and is one of the “it” shoes for the season, but the print almost seems distracting as opposed to enticing. Perhaps the pink flowers are a little …

If you can make these work then hats off to you. Heel measurements: 4″. Price: $595.

Paris was quoted as saying “My goal is to create a stylish and fun fashion line from head to toe.”

Cole Haan Cassidy Air Boot

Shoes

I am a glutton for red accessories - whether a bag, pair of shoes, a belt, rubies - I love them all. The right shade of red can add the subtle touch of color to brighten up and add life to an outfit that may have worn out its welcome long ago. Not only are the Cole Haan Cassidy Boots ultra fashionable and sexy, without feeling like a lady of the night, but they feature Nike Air Technology to provide extra cushioning for …
