We put so much into how we look. From makeup to shoes, our look has to be complete. The newest way to complete a great look is with your nail polish. That's right, nail polish. With a rainbow of colors and a catalog of trends to choose from, there is no reason to go bare. Nail polish has become a hit even on the runway. Designer Tracey Reese has teamed up with Sally Hansen to create a collection of colors all inspired by colors used in Tracy's Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Many celebrities have also hopped on the nail polish bandwagon. Both Nicki Minaj and the Kardashians have collections with OPI and Nicole OPI respectively. When determining what color to wear, consider your outfit and mood. Here are a few examples of how to complete your look. Betsey Johnson Spring 2012 goes great with China Glaze Naked. Cynthia Rowley Spring 2012 pairs well with It's All About the Glam -OPI Kardashian Kolor. BCBG Maxazria Spring 2012 blends with Revlon Sheer Seafoam. Try any or all of these great spring combinations. Have some suggestions? Send them to us!

RIP Donna Summer

The first song I ever learned was, “Love to Love You Baby.” I knew that song before I was able to say "Momma."  My mom would play it whenever I was moving around too much in the womb.  Once I came into the world, it was the lullaby my mom would play to lull me to sleep.  I was in my teens before I heard the entire song!  Donna Summer was more than just a disco icon.  Her voice transcended an era and a genre.  From the uplifting jam, “Heaven Knows,” to the classic, “Bad Girls,” Donna Summer embodied soul and passion.  She was the first artist win a Grammy award for “Best Dance Recording.” Ironically, this was not during the disco heyday, but some twenty years later.  She began her career with aspirations of being a Motown style soul singer.  I am so thankful that she found her own path.  Donna Summer was unique.  Many were disco artists but she made disco come to life.  Toot toot ah beep beep looks crazy on paper, but sang over that dance groove, it made sense. Her music touched people from various walks of life and different generations.   While Donna has had her “Last Dance” her music will live on forever.  ~RIP Donna Summer

Tennis Anyone?
The warm weather is here. It is time to get out on the courts and do so in style. The Chanel tennis racquet and white tennis balls (Chanel.com) or the Ame & Lulu citrus tennis bag (ameandlulu.com) will do the trick. For women, it is always a cute idea to match your accessories. And in this case, matching your tennis gear...to your "tennis gear" is smart and chic.

Nick Cannon Partners To Create 12Society

 

Nick Cannon (MTV’s The Nick Cannon Show, Wild 'N Out, and America's Got Talent) has joined forces with celebrity and sport legend business partners to create 12SOCIETY. Those involved alongside Nick Cannon include SF Giants superstarTim Lincecum and NY Giants Super Bowl champMichael Strahan with additional celebrity partners announced later this month. With the project still in stealth mode, we can only announce Nick’s involvement with 12SOCIETY that will be a lifestyle company built on the intersection of culture, technology and commerce.

Nick Cannon teamed up with celebrities and Sameer Mehta, who at just 24 years old has already sold his first startup Junglecents.com to Mark Cuban and has now partnered with Hollywood’s hottest celebrities and sports legends on his new business endeavor entitled 12SOCIETY.

With and investors Groupon, Beachmint & MeetCharlie.com already signed on with seed money, 12 SOCIETY includes a panel of 6 celebrity tastemakers the first of which announced are Cannon, Lincecum and Strahan. With a "this is my company" campaign already in full swing, these 6 celebrity "culture creators" are helping to develop content so the user experience feels like a real time conversation. 12 SOCIETY comes out of a problem that many brands not only want to get the attention of the 18-35 year old demographic, but want to get them actively engaging and shopping.

Color Blocking for The Summer

 

 

Color Blocking is the current craze all over the world. You can find this trend in all styles from swimsuits to crochet suits. While color blocking was huge in the 80's the style of multi-colored printed designs is becoming more popular each week. Of course the trend to mix and match individual pieces in solids to build a fabulous color-blocking look is still most popular, it is just as fabulous to wear the trend in an already "pre-blocked" style having to only add the twist of the accessories!

Desperate Housewives; An End To Longtime Treasure

All images in this story are the property of ABC.com

The two-hour series finale for the ABC hit show Desperate Housewives ended in true glamourous fashion with taste and style. In between the tears you probably shed throughout the entire finale, ABC did a superb job in closing out one of the most beloved shows of the decade. Bringing to a close the lives of the main characters.

SPOILER ALERT...(In case you missed the finale and plan to watch it online at ABC.com)

Add caption

Character's Lynette and Tom went through a small roller coaster ride but ended up happily ever after, the way all of the fans appreciated. Gabrielle and Carlos found their common respect for each other and ended up fashionably on top of the world. The ever-so dignified Bree married her lawyer and would up in politics, and Susan moved away with her daughter to start a fresh new life. Renee married her very sexy Australian lover in an eventful wedding arrangement. Along with the birth of Susan and Lynette's grandson (Julie and Porter's son) and the sad but peaceful death of Karen.

The long-time narration of the voice of Mary Alice ended with a glimpse of her watching Susan move on to greener pasturers. It was done with such class, grace and amazing blend of timing, tragedy, tears and triumphs that the fans could not have asked for a more perfect wrap up. A perfect bow to a wonderful package that opened up an serious influence to a world-wind of reality show interests (the Real Housewives, Basketball Wives, Baseball Wives, etc).

ABC receives a standing ovation for such a perfect show ending. While I admit I was one of those who cried most of the two-hours, it was a mix of happiness, satisfaction and sadness that it would be the last of "The Lane" that would develop before my eyes.

What did you think of the finale? Whose story end was your favorite? Are you wondering if the cliff-hanger of the "new resident" will turn into a show spin off?

Who Has The Color Blocking Blues?

The IDEAL Magazine

www.idealpr.com

Blue and black are very popular colors for attire. It is a cool combination when color blocking as well. It is perfectly fine to throw another lighter shade of blue in the mix for a pop of the same color to make the color blocking system stand out even more.  For more of a contrast, add accessories and nail color which are various shades of one of your main colors. In this case the color blue  or even green is a good alternative.


Which of these color blocking styles do you like best? 
Style A (Martin Lamothe) or Style B (J. Mendel)?
