The kind of love you got, lifts me off my feet

For a babe, one of the best feelings in the world is the feeling you get when you walk out of a good facial.  Whether it be a peel or a soothing wrap, your face feels 5 years younger and definitely better.  But, if you're like me, and unable to sit still through a 90 minute sea-weed wrap facial, you're better off buying products from Space NK that have the same results but don't require as much time or patience. 

Space NK has the creme de la creme of beauty products- featuring the best anti-aging lotions and the best facial cleansers, as long as your willing to dish out the dough.  If you're confused as to what product is best for your skin, go in for a free and painless consultation with one of the qualified beauticians at the SOHO store.  They also provide Eve Lom facials, which have been raved about by celebrities and everyone else who has had the opportunity to experience them.

I've only had the pleasure of visiting the SOHO store, which was warm, welcoming, and completely non-pressuring which I appreciate in a cosmetics store.  Be sure to visit them with a decent amount of cash and a very open mind because what they suggest to you is not bullshit- they absolutely know what they're talking about. 

The friction of stars.

Oh, how this would have made my teenage love-life so much easier- finally a mix-tape without all the hassle of stopping and starting the cd/tape player over and over again to get the perfect mix of the song you wanted.   The USB mix tape allows you to put the mp3 files onto a thumb drive and stores it in a cute little "mix tape" container while preserving the novelty of a mix tape, without the issues of whether or not you copied it to the end of the song. 

Too bad I didn't have this in high school- Indie-Anna's sex life would have been more prosperous. 

Where troubles melt like lemon drops.

For those of you assholes who decided not to get a job, intern, or take a class this summer, I warn you now: You will be bored. So, if on one of those lonely days where every normal person you know is at work, you should go visit the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. A little heaven in the heart of Brooklyn founded in 1910, the gardens are 52-acres of magic featuring over 10,000 types of plants from all over the globe. Each month features something new, for example June is Rose month! Visit the website for more detailed information and directions on how to get there, and then, get a goddamn job.

Stick and stones can break my bones.

I'm not into the whole S & M thing (I'm a delicate little flower....) BUT I happen to dig the whole bondage look and Bliss Lau nails it and puts a feminine spin on her new jewelry line. Each piece she makes can be worn several ways and what I like most about it, is that it can spruce up a plain white t-shirt and make it something red-carpet worthy. All handmade in the US of A, most of the pieces made of brass chain and a little bit o'leather, Lau's jewelry appeals to anyone who thinks that jewelry is not just for your ears or neck.

I see London, I see France.

My new friend Eddie Newton is the brains behind the style blog StyleSightings.com. Newton finds people on the street who he thinks are fashionable, shoots them and then posts them on his site. He also shoots at party's and events, which is how I met him, after he shot two party's for Earnest Sewn. Its definitely an awesome idea and well executed site, not to mention its hilarious to see how many of your friends end up on it. Don't forget to read the catty-comments; reads almost as bad as perezhilton.

NEW MUSIC.

Sorry for the REALLY long break. I am BACK in action because my internet is working and life is swell. I just found out about this artist, Genevieve Waite, and I'm in love! Her voice sounds like any normal female jazz vocalist if they were sucking face with a helium balloon. Check out album Romance is on the Rise. 

FINALLY.

The Restless Movie trailer:

peep it!

Literate and stylish, kissable and quiet. Thats what girls dreams are made of.

Not sure if I've ever done a post about Lyell, a great little girly boutique in Nolita, that features only its own clothing, but the newest collection certainly deserves a post.  Super feminine with little camisoles and floral bra and panty pieces, everything can be paired with your favorite not-so-feminine cut-off denim shorts and leather motorcycle jackets.  My favorite is this gorgeous little tap suit, which will look amazing with a black high waisted skirt or jeans, and that also comes in yellow at the store. The online shop is here at Refinery 29.

I don't need a nicotine patch, I smoke cigarettes.

And hell, if you're going to get cancer, you may as well do it stylishly with Nat Sherman's Fantasia's colored sniggerettes. These stogies are wrapped in a gold box and when you open it, you're not sure if you're looking at a smoke or a crayon; the cigarettes are colored with green, blue, red, yellow and bright pink papers, and a gold filter. Nat Sherman also promises that there are no additives in their cigarettes (but warns that this does not mean its a "safer" stoge... no kidding). If you get the chance, go visit the store on east 42nd street at 5th avenue.

Now all you need to do is wear color-coordinating Manolos, pick up your pooch with matching Louis Vuitton carry-case and spark-up with your Cartier Lighter!

Sensing a pattern, sensing a habit.

Yikes. This is just too good to be true.
Normally, I don't like to post too many things that are of similar categories for my blog (I try to mix it up) but SHIT, this is just the best thing I've ever seen.

The website Open! Design and Concept is a place for creators to post their creations! I am pretty stoked on the jewelry part, where you'll find this little gem: a ring that expands into a shot glass. YES THATS RIGHT. And its a perfect size me who often gets criticized for taking shots like a bitch. Made of white gold and sapphire, they say the ring is used for "vodka" shots, but who's gonna know if its silver patron you're pouring into this baby!

Cheers!
