Emphasis on Prints and Embroidery at Marchesa

Marchesa's Resort 2011 Collection was filled with tons of tribal printed dresses that had lots of intricate detailing such as bold beading, fringe, and feathers. The shocking use of color, such as yellow, and the use of bold details, adds some light to what is usually a neutral colored resort collection.

the Phubby (Phone + Cubby)

Are you tired of carrying your cell phone around? Well leave it to the Phubby to conveniently carry your cell phone around. 
The Phubby wrist cubby merges new age fabrics and the design features of a marsupial. Just slip your hand through a Phubby and it is ready to act as a cubby for your phone. You can slide your phone in and out of the concealed pouch quicker than the onset of a second ring tone. Finally the cell phone is only a cufflink away. It is also great for I Pods, credit cards, and keys. Pick up a phubby for $13.00.



Disco Lashes

Check out these awesome faux lashes by Shu Uemera. Retailing for $65.00, these silver coated lashes softly sparkle with moon shape sequins. This definitely reminds me of something that Lady Gaga would wear.
