I was pretty excited when I found out our friends at Keds were sending me a pair of the classic blank lace ups, because this meant the DIY possibilities were endless. I had a million ideas in my head, some included rhinestones, others called out for studding, but I decided that I wanted to go with something a little more classic…Full post & DIY project over at LadyLike!

The day is finally here! September 2, 2010 AKA “90210″. Haha! So super cheesy but so fun at the same time cause duh who doesn’t love (the original) Beverly Hills, 90210. My first love was most definitely Dylan Mckay, man he had such great hair and that raspy voice. SWOON. I can watch reruns of BH 90210 all day any day. But not the new one! I absolutely despise it. I tried to watch it to maybe catch some of the old cast storylines come back to life, but it was always a let down. Ah well. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for 90210.

I recall seeing these images on Elsie & Vivianna’s blogs via way of Honestly…WTF and I completely fell in love. It’s a totally simple DIY and perfect for self customization. I’m not the biggest fan of bright colors, so I think I’ll make mine using some darker shades like black, gray, maroon, and maybe a little bit of white. I remember making these types of bracelets and necklaces as a young girl, and I wonder if I’ve still got the skills. I even used to have them braided into my hair, which sounds like it might be cute to do again and perhaps add some feathers. Tomorrow is my day off, so maybe I’ll take at trip down to the craft shop to grab some embroidery floss.

A few weeks ago I was in the mood for a new polish color, and it started out that I wanted something bright and summer-y. So I took a little trip down to my local beauty supply store and was immediately bombarded by a million choices. It wasn’t very long til I gave up on my original polish plan, and decided to be honest with myself that dark colors are really want I crave. After going through at least 50 shades, I finally found myself in front of the OPI polishes and quickly was swept off my feet by “Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous”. 
The polish is gun metal gray with the perfect amount of shimmer in it, not summer-esque at all, but absolutely wonderful for the upcoming Fall season. For the last two weeks I’ve been wearing it on both my hands and feet, and just can’t get enough. I’m thinking I might have to go back and purchase a few back up bottles. That’s not crazy right? haha. It provides me with the perfect amount of darkness, without being my usual black polish. I have a feeling I’m not going to be changing my polish anytime soon.
Have you found any great polish colors lately? What are they?

Over the last few years, I’ve watched Miss Lawn and her team at Hellz Bellz build a clothing company that at one time was labeled as “street wear”, into this amazing fashion forward, line stepping, rule breaking brand. Each collection gets better than the next introducing experimental designs and bold silhouettes that will make your style taste buds water. And this is something that can be so clearly seen in the release of Part I to the Hellz Bellz Fall Delivery entitled “The Rest is Her Story”.
This collection tells a story of vengeance paired with sensuality, daring feminine sexuality, and draws inspiration from such exploitation films like “Lady Snowblood” & “Thriller”. The collection is primarily black and white, however the use of leather, ruffled details, and exaggerated shoulders really make the pieces pop. “The Rest is Her Story” is innovative, mind blowing, and has me lusting for more. It leaves me wondering what will they introduce next as I anxiously await the arrival of Part II to the Hellz Bellz Fall 2010 Collection.
