One of my favorite shops, Colette has teamed up with Oakley to produce a pair of special edition Frogskins sunglasses. The collaboration features baby blue stars on the corner and arms of the clear Frogskins frame. This special edition is a very limited run, only 100 pairs will be available. Clear frame sunglasses are definitely a bit hit this season, so I’m def going to see if I’m able to cop myself a pair of these! I can’t wait till the Colette x GAP pop-up shop opens on September 6th in NYC!!! via Freshness

Matanzas Color Bracelets and Metallic Double Leather Hoops

I’ve been desperately looking for reasonably priced wrap leather/chain bracelets for a hot min already, last week I finally came across these colorful Matanzas Color Bracelets from Cubannie Links. I want one in every color, they look fab piled up, hotness! The jewelry line was founded by a Cuban-American jewelry designer, Annie Basulto, back in 2007. The name Cubannie Links holds sentimental value for Annie. It highlights her cultural roots and identity by combining her Cuban heritage with her first name (cute right?). The jewelry line has garnered celebrity followings like Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Tyra Banks, Gabrielle Union, Kat DeLuna, Dania Ramirez and also featured in a number of fashion spreads.

Cubannie Links first started out as a hobby Annie enjoyed and soon evolved into a business due to popular demand. Believe it or not, nitro:licious first started out as a hobby of mine making jewelry too, quite a coincidence. I had to give up on that hobby because nitro:licious transformed into my new love, blogging and that too up all my time! I still make jewelry for my friends once in awhile but its just for fun now. Props to Annie for all the cute jewelry and the prices are decent too. My picks are the Matanzas Color Bracelets $30, Mama & Baby Pacs Earrings (sold out), Tupac Machine Gun Earrings $28, Coco Knocker Acrylic Earrings $30, Metallic Double Leather Hoops $32 and Coco Knocker Bracelet $30. You can cop Cubannie Links online at her e-shop and Karmaloop.com.

After wearing these Marc Jacobs MJ212/S Sunglasses the other day I’ve gotten quite a few emails and comments asking me about them. They’re the same ones that Victoria Beckham was rockin’ in the Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer ‘08 ad campaign that I thought resembled the Chanel 5018 Sunglasses I wanted to so badly. These MJ shades are so nice and the gradient is much more dramatic then the Chanel 5120 Sunglasses that I have, they’re super fab. The logo on the arms are pretty dope too, these are available in black, brown and tortoise (the one I have) and retail at $450. The only spot I’ve seen these available is at Solstice Sunglass Boutique and of course eBay. I heart these sunglasses, check out the detailed pics I took. Thanks to Whitney for the shades!

ToyWatch, a creative and fun collection of plastic watches that are inspired by high design timepieces. I’ve been a fan of the watches for a hot min already, I own the Mother of Pearl Chrono Collection in white since 2007. As I was doing my post about pop colors on my moli.com/nitrolicious blog I’ve came across this new juicy ToyWatch Neon Plasteramic Collection of fluorescent watches. I luv them, they’re super cute and a perfect accessory for summer! The price is decent for a good quality watch, they’re $195 each - I’m planning to place an order on Nordstrom.com for the purple and green ones, what do you guys think? There are four glowing colors, Kryptonite Green, Plutonium Pink, Ultra Violet and Atomic Orange, which color(s) are you feelin’?
