Nailing It For Spring... A Few Chic Nail Care Tips!
The weather may still be a bit frightful, but paying attention to your hands and nails is a must for a fabulous Spring season. Moisturizing, regular manicures and treatments are essential in the winter months.
- Daily moisturizing is essential. Keep a hand cream in your handbag and make sure to apply after washing hands.
- Emery boards are not just for the nail salon. Trim nails and neatly file every 2-3 days.
- Pay attention to cuticles. Apply a drop of oil at night to soften the cuticles.
- Lastly, peek on over to SpaRitual for some amazing cuticle and nourishing treatments to assist you along the way.
Toying with gorgeous pops of color isn't regulated to Spring and Summer any longer. Find a favorite hue, and make it work dolls!

Beyonce Delivers a Girl... We're Delivering Baby Gift Ideas From Belle Etoile!
With the celebrity baby boom is full swing, Beyonce is the latest member to be inducted into the mommy club and sent social media sites a buzz this weekend. There are no confirmed reports of a delivery by the Knowles-Carter camp, however speculation is that the sassy songstress delivered a healthy baby girl at a New York City hospital Saturday afternoon. Gal pal, and fellow mommynista Gwyneth Paltrow even tweeted a congrats to the music power couple even mentioning the baby's name, which is reportedly Blue Ivy.
In honor of Baby Blue what better than a gorgeous piece of Blue jewelry.... I absolutely adore the delicate, yet stunning Belle Etoile jewelry collection. The Nodo Blue Pendant is no exception. Crafted form fine Italian rubber, this is a phenomenal way to say welcome to the world and with such style!
When I think of girls I think of pink cotton candy, fluffy bunnies and butterflies. Butterflies are quite exotic but can also become a simple and pure ode to all things pretty. The Butterfly Kisses Ring is a beautiful hand painted enamel set on the finest rhodium-plated sterling silver. Comprised of magical rainbow-like hues this little beauty is quite a statement and an amazing keepsake item to remind you of the special day your life was forever changed.
Bangles and Bauble are always a girls BFF.. Totally falling in love with the Milan Blue Bangle. A chic statement piece that's bold and sophisticated. From the Italian Rubber Collection, the hand braided design, dazzling stones and intricate details are the perfect amount of splendor and glamour to make any mommy or fashionista smile.
Take a peek on over to Belle Etoille for retail store locations....

Also from our fab friends at Frye.

Chic Ramblings & Thoughts... The Brown Girl NYFW Edition
Greetings fabulous ones...
I seldom utilize this platform for my personal rants and thoughts. I have KishanaHolland.com for that! I strive really hard to deliver you the best in fashion, beauty and lifestyle news... Unbiased & Unscripted!
So this morning while I was prepping for my day I thought maybe I'll do something different, it is 2012 after all!
Love me or hate me.. I ain't going nowhere, so sit back, sip some tea and enjoy or hit that back button and it's all good too!
Ramblings & Thoughts
First and foremost I've never tried to be anyone other than myself. Sure I've had mentors and role models along the way, but never aspired to be anyone other than my true authentic & fabulous self. This blogger world often times opens your eyes to a world you've never really imagined. The swag and events are definitely something to smile about *Giggle*, but the pretentiousness is never something you're never prepared to deal with. As we're on the heels of NYFW, I can't help but to giggle at the numerous uncomfortable encounters that will debut right inside those glorious tents.
Such As...
- That very moment when you look around and spot at least a dozen brown girls. Not huddled together chatting it up about the day's events, but all awkwardly scowling at each other as if they should have been the only ones invited to the party.
Ladies, this industry is large enough and bustling with opportunity for everyone. The fact that 80% of you are stylists never discounts your ability to network and partner on future ventures. And because you're the "It" Blogger with over 30,000 Twitter followers, does that make you any more relevant than a fab blogger with maybe 300 followers.
Each season a dear friend of mine, who also happens to be a fellow blogger dissect the eery and downright trifling behavior of some of our fellow bloggers during NYFW. We giggle about the shade we're always given by certain pr folks, the alarming increase in "crashers" invading NYFW and then there's the ever present scenarios when fellow bloggers attempt to toy with invites.. This I won't even get into.. Right now!
Anyhoo, this same very friend and I became acquainted at an industry event. Two fabulous Brown Girls.. Strangers.. Chatting it up! *Can You Imagine* I can even remember how we began our conversation. I was wearing a vintage coat and she being the vintage connoisseur quickly made an observation and it's been a wrap ever since. Our friendship has created a myriad of opportunities, experiences and countless "A'Ha" moments.
See, you can be a Brown Girl at events and actually smile with each other, converse and build relationships. It's not intricate to say the least. Be your authentic self and the possibilities are endless...
Stay Fab & Chic...

In Chic Shopping: Miss Tres Chic Embarks on the $50 Challenge
Greetings Fabulous Ones....
While many begin their New Year's resolutions, I often shy away from any affirmations or declarations. However, I'm always committed to saving money and this little shopping habit of mines can cause issues from time to time. If you're a fabulous reader of this blog you must know all about my affection for Twitter. It's such the networking portal always filled with chock'full of information you can really use and identify with.
Recently a fellow blog diva Miss Cheap Chica of the savvy shopping blog Cheapalicious tweeted about her $50 challenge for the month of January. She is committed to only spend $50 for clothing and beauty related items. I so looooved the idea! As a blogger I must admit I live a very spoiled life. My beauty closet overflows with the latest product, innovation or serum. In lieu of spending money on unnecessary items I'll just shop my closets. The same goes for clothing, so I may actually do pretty darn well at this!
I've been working on a strategy and so far..... Well you'll see for yourself at the end of the month.
Savvy Spending Tips:
- Skip unnecessary trips to the mall. Opt for a leisurely walk in the park with some good music and a light snack. You'll get rid of those holiday pounds and save cash in the process!
- When shopping bring CASH only! I borrowed a lil' trick from Demetrice from IMPR(4L)ess and have 50 singles in an envelope ready to roll!
- Vintage is always chic! Shopping thrift stores can lead to some amazing finds. Hit those racks, be sure to try on and make it work fabulous ones!
- Shop Smart... The Cheap Chica reminded me to use my coupons and shop my own closet. I'm soo ready!
- Lastly, relax and have fun.. This is a great challenge to share with friends. Make it a competition! Get your BFF's together at the end of your challenge and compare your shopping finds.
It's only Day One for me, but I'll be sure and check in regularly and share my progress here on the blog as well as Twitter, I'm using the hashtag #50dollarchallenge. Wish me luck and see ya soon!
