I kinda want to try out this new Lancome Oscillation mascara -- the first vibrating mascara. You've gotta love that it's a mascara gadget! It's not out until this December, but today you can buy online the limited first edition of Lacome Oscillation for just $34.
Back in June, Jennine at The Coveted (who lives in Germany now) got to see a preview of the vibrating mascara in action from the creator in Paris.
You've seen all the latest celebrities like Halle and Ashlee carry around the YSL Tribute Bag ($1,395 at Saks). Did you know you can make your own? WIth the Handbag Heaven Metropolitan Homage Tote pattern from hotpatterns.com and some leather fabric, you'll be able to recreate a timeless fashionable tote for way less! Check out Threadbanger's post on this YSL Tribute bag with links to tips on fabric and how to sew leather.
I love Cindy Ng's Origami Blog lately for her origami inspired fashion posts. (BTW, check out Cindy's beautiful origami jewelry which I've posted about previously on Coquette.) Lately she's been finding some great inspiring fashions including Chloe's Leather Alligator Fold Clutch that's been seen on such celebs as Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester.
These origami shoe designs by Dutch designer Marloes ten Bhömer are simply breathtaking. See her work at the Virtual Shoe Museum.
Now that you've gotten the inspiration, here are more origami fashions you can pick up for yourself:
Rick Owens Lilies Origami wool coat ($780 at Net-A-Porter)
Bensoni Black Stretch Knit Origami Detailed Top ($148.80 at Bluefly)
Sleeveless Origami Knit Dress ($150 at Banana Republic)
Cynthia Steffe Cream Cotton Pointelle Origami Inset Dress ($189.60 at Bluefly)
Eileen Shields Hannah Origami Flat Slide (On Sale $147.50 at Shopbop)

Being pregnant I can't be bothered to bend down and tie my shoes which is why I mostly wear ballet flats. But when the weather gets cold and windy here in SF I like the option of wearing sneakers, especially when I walk Lulu. My stylish gay neighbor showed off to me a few weeks ago his new purchase for an afternoon boat ride along the bay, a pair of these Converse All Star Slip Ons ($47 at Zappos). This was perfect! Just what I needed -- stylish sneakers and no shoelaces! I bought them in black and they are really comfy. I also wanted them in grey but they are sold out in my size. Here's to hoping they get some new inventory in soon. It's so perfect for summer and has also been spotted on the likes of Heidi Klum while shopping in LA.
