Marshall’s Mega Shoe Shop | “What Will You Give Up”

UBO Editor — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:25:02 +0000

This past spring Marshall’s launched their Mega Shoe Shops.In honor of the launch they had the SoleMate Tour make its way down the east and west coasts. The tour may be over but summer is still in full swing and Marshall’s knows women love shoes, a huge selection to choose from and not paying retail prices. So they gave their shoe departments a much needed makeover. They now have twice the selection and an attractive layout making it so much easier to find the shoes of your dreams.

Shoetube TV along with The Daily Shoe partnered with Marshall’s for a web series of four shows called “The Daily Shoe”. In this episode the host not only shows us cute shoes you can find at Marshall’s but also asks, “what would you give up to keep your shoes”?

Keep checking back because for the next few weeks I will be posting more shows for you to check out.

Kathy Van Zeeland Handbags | “Affordable Luxury”

UBO Editor — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:45:34 +0000

Fashionistas looking to stay on trend and not spend a lot are clamouring to buy Kathy Van Zeeland bags. I got my first Kathy Van Zeeland bag as a gift and was totally surprised by the heft of the bag and the amount of carefully placed details like the cute polished hardware and studs. Her bags vary from rocker edgy, to avant garde to romantic and cute so matter your fashion aesthetic you’re sure to find something that works for you. What I really love is most of her bags are under $100 bucks but they don’t look it.

Check out the newest additions to her collection:

The “Apollo” collection is all about gorgeous color, bold hardware and multiple pockets for all your essentials. The “shopper” is a full sized purse not gigantic but roomy enough to fit anything you could possibly need while out for the day. (Kathy Van Zeeland “Apollo” Belt Shopper, $89.00)

The “Apollo” in a satchel shilouette is a must-have handbag. We love the attentions given to this shape with organizational pockets, pops of patent leather and the handbag color of the season – white.(Kathy Van Zeeland “Apollo” Top-Zip Roll Bag, $79.00)

Kathy brought to life the quilted trend in a medium, glossy, patent tote. Stay organized with its inside pockets and a detachable case.(Kathy Van Zeeland “Lotus” Medium Tote, $89.00)

Patchwork bags are big this season and Kathy has dedicated a whole line in this seasons color palette in celebration.The tiny pebbled texture makes the patchwork pop. (Kathy Van Zeeland Patched Up III Belt Shopper, $95.00)

Her new “Rock and Roll” Collection introduces new details and hardware outside of the typical Kathy Van Zeeland handbag hardware. With buckles and large eyelets these bags will add a definited edge to your look. (Kathy Van Zeeland Rock&Roll Shopper, $99.00)

Salvatore Ferragamo’s Incanto Heaven | “Sexy, Summer Fragrance”

UBO Editor — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:30:55 +0000

Incanto Heaven
Inspired by daydreams and mythology, this Incanto incarnate celebrates the magic of fortune and the creative power of the imagination, using fruity notes of grapefruit, apple, and apricot. Playful florals like peony and violet weave their own dreamy appeal, which perfectly underscores the scent’s fresh and flirty tone.

Notes:
Grapefruit, Seringa Flower, Apple, Pink Peony, Apricot, Hibiscus Flower Tea, Violet, Musk.
Style:
Magical. Bright. Luscious

Incanto Heaven is a perfect warm weather fragrance with a slightly oriental feel to it. The floral notes of Seringa flower, Pink Peony, Hibiscus Flower Tea and Violet are the top notes that you notice right away but the musk and the fruity notes of apple, grapefruit and apricot are the ones that last.

This perfume has a lightness and sweetness to it that makes it perfect for the summer but the light musk makes it very sexy and it carries well into a summer evening out on the town. I can see this fragrance, with it’s musky base, lasting into the fall when most of us travel away from the lighter and fresher scents of the summer and to scents with more substance. But basically if your a sweet, fruity scent lover you will love this fragrance.

Shoes & Accesories “Sex & the City” Style | “Have A Little ‘Sex’ In Your Closet”

UBO Editor — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:30:36 +0000

Sure I love the style of the women from Sex and the City but how realistic are they for any woman not living in “the city”. Heck I live in a southern city which is no where near fashion forward. And although we have some style here it’s nothing like the style of the character Carrie.

I like my own classic simple style but would like to add a like Sex and the City edge now and again to an outfit. If your anything like me here are some simple ways of adding it in with accessories.

4.Masaki/Masaki by Matasushima Masaki

She is an elegant young woman who lives on Park Avenue, shops on Fifth, strolls in Central Park and attends retrospectives at Manhattan’s museums. She is simply chic and light pink is her favorite color.

Designer Masaki Matsushima found inspiration for his new perfume in this distinguished upper class New York character. It is an unusually feminine approach, a transgression from his minimalist trans-gender style. The result is a classy and rich fragrance that, surprisingly, is easily recognizable as a creation of the Japanese trend setter.

Jean Jacques, Masaki’s “nose” traveled from Paris to New York for inspiration and spent the summer, walking around the elegant parts of the city, capturing the vibrations of its modern-chic atmosphere. The final fragrance is an explosive mix of Japanese and American senses put together by a French perfumer.

Notes:
Litchi, Fuji Apple, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Sakura, Angel Face Rose, Magnolia, Raspberry, Patchouli, Crystal Musk, White Cedar Wood.
Style:
Chic. Rich. Feminine.
(Masaki Matsushima Masaki/Masaki Rollerball 0.33 oz Eau de Parfum Rollerball, $16)

5.LAVANILA Pure Vanilla Eau du Parfum

Pure Vanilla blends the tender sensuality of fresh Madagascar vanilla with the warm touch of soft patchouli and pure tonka bean. Infused with more vanilla bean than vanilla cookie, this superbly clean scent is a must-have for any vanilla addict.

LAVANILA carefully infuses pure essential oils with 100 percent active botanicals for natural fragrances that are fresh, clean, and nurturing. With each spray, proprietary natural technology wraps the skin with super antioxidants goji berry and kakadu plum, soothing willowherb, and hydrating olive leaf for a healthy dose of 30 essential vitamins and minerals and 19 amino acids. Imagine, a fragrance that not only smells good but also is good for you!!

Now you can take this delicious scent with you anywhere – the travel friendly rollerball fits perfectly in a purse or makeup bag.

Notes:
Madagascar vanilla, Freesia, Patchouli, Heliotrope, Tonka Bean.
(LAVANILA Pure Vanilla Eau De Parfum Rollerball 0.32 oz Eau de Parfum Rollerball, $18)

6.Robert Piguet Fracas Eau de Parfum

The fragrance masterwork of French couturier, Robert Piguet, known for refined simplicity and an unerring sense of Parisienne style, Fracas became the signature fragrance of a small and knowledgeable coterie of women.

Today, Fracas is the most coveted of fragrances; provocative yet pure, quintessentially modern yet redolent of another more glamorous time. Fracas is the fragrance of commotion, tumult and chaos of the heart.

Notes:
Tuberose, Jasmine, Jonquil, Gardenia, Lily of the Valley, White Iris, Orange, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Musk.

Lately it’s been all about the bra. Like is it the right size and how finding the right one can totally change how you look in your clothes. Well now it’s time to take care of the rest of you. Spanx addresses the lower part of your body and what’s really different about Spanx is that they’re less constricting than other foundation wear. You see they’re more like pantyhose but they have amazing holding power to get rid of your pooch or gut and keep you looking nice and smooth. They also and get rid of those dreaded panty lines without flattening out your booty. What’s even better Sara Blakely ,the creator, has even more great products that hold in muffins tops and suppress love handles.

(Editor’s Pick: Spanx are a personal pick. I’ve worn them for years and used them to get the body I’m working towards at the gym to look good right now. I strongly suggest you pick out the right size to get the most support without cutting off your circulation. So know your weight and height exactly then purchase accordingly.)
