Editor’s Pick: Giada De Laurentiis’s nail art
Giada De Laurentiis is not just an amazing chef and Food Network personality. She’s also apparently way ahead of the curve when it comes to nail art.

Attention fashion keeners: Yellow for spring
The happiest colour trend of the season is unquestionably yellow. The bright, bold, sunny hue isn’t for the wallflower types, it’s a shade that guarantees to get your noticed.

Which Spring Print Are You Most Excited To Try?
Call it an occupational hazard, but I find it really hard to live in the (fashion) moment. It’s embarrassing to admit it but I’ve had a mental spring shopping/wish list since late October. And with the start of New York Fashion Week I’ve even started an early wish list for fall11/12. Obsessive much? Kinda. The most prevailing prints that sauntered down the [...]
