Ex's and Oh's -- Formula for Spring

Speaking of a piratey, nautical theme, we're loving the selection of just that at Formula Exo, a killer site of handmade jewelry, goodies and kitsch. Anchors away and skulls galore here make for quite the fashionable spring. You'll find more than just boring navy blue with choices in pinks, oranges and other Crayola colors to brighten your earlobes and wrist.

Beyond that, we're just digging the cuteness, color and flash. Exo is certainly our formula for a rock-out Spring. We love what you're cooking in your lab. Formula for fashion.

Ships Ahoy, Matey -- Spring Forecast: Nautical Look

Ah yes, spring.  When the weather gets a little balmier and the urge to soak some sun grips many a premature sunbather.  Greet the coming warm rays (Yes, they are coming.  End-of-winter patience is a virtue) with a somewhat sea-worthy style.

Stores are spilling lots of navy stripes and land-lubber designs.  So, don a sailor cap and create your own nautical mish-mosh for a look that's beachy keen.

Pictured here from Delia's are their fun Scurvy Striped One-piece, Striped Polo, Shoreline slides, and Maya Low-rise Sailor Flare.

Bringing It Back

They're ready to give you props at Girl Props.  But are you ready for this?  Our latest "Oh hell yeah" find is the collection of throwback 1980s doorknocker gold earrings.   Think urban street corner in '85.  Think Salt N' Pepa circa "Shah, Push It".  Think "MTV Raps" (now, that's really bringing it back.  Ask your older cousin about that one).  Old school goodies for a good price.

Featured here are a slightly less hardcore specimen of the bamboo, gold, "peace" kind.  Retro fun for the modern gal.   Pair them with your leggings and Keds and be the new material girl.

If you're looking for that hotter than hot look but you're on a budget and can't go crazy, take a peek at Go Jane.  Here you'll find sexy, stylish formals for less than a Benjamin and shoes to match for less than a... uh, who's on a fifty?  Anyway, we're digging their selection and style, and most of all their price.  Break the bank if you wanna, but you know you're only going to wear that dress one night and one night only.  Look smashing for less!

Design Her Gals

Tired of the same old "Evite"?  Can't stand another carbon-copy Hallmark boring blah blah?  Go to Design Her Gals and break free from the mold.  It's fun to create custom invitations, announcements, stationary, stickers or whatever!  The best part...you make them look like you and your friends!  You literally "design" the girls that appear in your greeting by choosing eye, hair, skin color and outfits.  Then, you can print your design to whatever.  Sweet sixteen invites?  Make yourself wear that stunning dress!  Valentine's Day e-card?  Tres cute.  Just saying hi?  You can do that too.

It's fun and it's new.  Go ahead.  Design her, gal! 

Love Design Her Gals.

This is a little skin that you can show that won't violate any dress code or get anyone tied up in a knot.   

But, don't think it's any less seductive.

Best of '06 -- Gasoline Fire

Soon it shall be daylight savings time. That extra hour of sleep is not much of a consolation for the earlier darkness that is due to come. Somehow the eager sunset does much to produce depression as we mourn the loss of summer for good. So sad.

While there may not be many sunlit hours to the autumn day, put whatever rays you do have to good use with a hot pair of sunglasses. The perfect cooler weather pair are a set of rhinestone bespeckled aviators, with skull charms to boot from Gasoline Glamour. Gas may be out of control, but here the price is just right. How absolutely hot will they make you look? The sun may be fizzling out, but you're definitely not!

Rawk them hard with your fall wardrobe. Can't you imagine pairing them up with boots and a chunky sweater coat? You may love them so much you'll even use them to ward off icy winter glare. It's up to you.

Come on baby, light my fire.

Get your pair at Gasoline Glamour.

Best of '06 -- Down in a Ditch

Allison:
Oh, hey Hilary. How's it going?

Hilary:
(forlorn)Okay, I guess.

Allison:
Dude, what's wrong?

Hilary:
Oh, I don't know, Al. Feeling a little down in the ditch.

Allison:
Hilary, I'm your best friend. You can tell me what's wrong.

Hilary:
Well, okay. I'm just feeling...not so cool. You know, like I'm wearing the wrong thing.

Allison:
Well, Hil, you are. But, that's okay. We'll fix you up. Here, borrow my awesome Harajuku punk-inspired headband and wristcuff, both created by the company Made in Shoreditch Somewhere. It's quite a mouthful, I know, but this place makes nothing but happening accessories sure to make you salivate. See, the headband looks so rockstar in your dyed, jet-black locks. You look, like, hot!

Hilary:
Oh wow! I feel so stylish now. Thanks, Allison. You're such a pal.

Allison:
Now you're really in the ditch!

(Both girls laugh as they exit stage left.)
