Missoni x Havaianas Summer 2012 Collection

Last year Havaianas got everyone going cray for the Missoni ♥ Havaianas Collection (I did), they’re back again for their second collaboration which is slated to launch in June just in time for summer. The collection will be available at Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Missoni boutiques, and on havaianas.com.

What makes this collection even more special is that it is “eco-friendly,” made from leftover rubber pieces from the manufacturing process and are mixed to achieve the unique signature Missoni zigzag patterns. Every flip-flop comes exclusively packaged in a special packaging made of recyclable material and comes in a Missoni knit bag.

Do you like the new collection? I can’t wait to get my feet in them!

Last month the first images of the Charlotte Free for Forever 21 Spring 2012 ad campaign were posted, now here’s round 2.

Have you tried the Caviar Manicure?

I first saw the caviar manicure during New York Fashion Week and was obsessed with it then. A few days ago I saw my friend wearing the look on her nails and it reminded me that I need to try it. The caviar look is quite interesting, I love the 3D effect and it seems like it’s simple to achieve. I think I’m going to buy the Ciaté Caviar Manicure set on Sephora.com, the black pearls look so good! The downside of the caviar manicure is that it only lasts about 48 hours (according to Sephora), I guess only for special occasions. Have you tried this look? Do you think it’s worth $25?

Undefeated for Converse Jack Purcell Summer 2012 Collection

I’m sure by now most of you guys know I love my Converse sneakers, especially the collaborations. For Summer 2012, Converse and Undefeated team up to release the Undefeated for Converse Jack Purcell Collection. The limited edition collection releases on May 25, 2012 at Undefeated stores and select Converse First String retailers globally. The collection offerings include the shoe in black, white or red canvas uppers, with the red version available exclusively at Undefeated stores. All shoes will retail for $55 and will be available in unisex sizing 3 – 13. NEED!

For the Summer 2012 Undefeated for Converse Jack Purcell collection, Undefeated made subtle design changes to the iconic shoe, beginning with the addition of stylishly simple red and navy racing stripes to their rubber rands to give the shoes a sporty, classic Converse look and feel. Undefeated leaves the signature Jack Purcell toe-smile intact and adds summery terrycloth to the lining and foot beds, and a subtle Undefeated branded heel pull-tab to the heel. The collection features three colors of the iconic silhouette with understated styling and just the right amount of Undefeated attitude.
