Saw this on Such Fun Things and had to repost. Funniest thing ever!

I saw these on Talkshoes.com and just had to share.  Aren't these Moschino Cheap and Chic x Net-a-porter Rainboots absolutely adorable?  Love the play on words!

Julep Maven Intro Box for a Penny!

What's a Julep Maven?  Or maybe we should do what's Julep first.  Julep is a Seattle-based nail parlor that has come out with their own line of nail polishes and hand care products.  So what's a Julep Maven?  It's a monthly program they started where they send you from $40-$75 worth of products for only $19.99.  You can skip a month or cancel anytime if you're not satisfied.  Their style quiz results said that I'm an "It Girl", and you can see what they decided to send out in my introductory box.



I haven't tried the polishes yet, but the colors do speak to me and are pretty spot-on as to what I might have picked out.  I only paid $5 for my intro box instead of the standard $19.99, so I figured I had nothing to lose  by giving it a try, and I'm pleasantly surprised.

They currently have a promotion where the first 1000 new referrals can get their intro box for a penny instead of $19.99 and I think that's an amazing deal.  I believe shipping to Canada is also free, but I could be wrong.  A Julep Maven also gets 20% off their other items.

This is not a sponsored post.  I just thought it was a pretty good deal.  If you use my referral link below, I get a free month for every 2 people who sign up:

I've been on a bit of a polish kick lately, and when I read about these new NARS x Marc Jacobs polish and cashmere gloves collaboration on Vogue.com, I knew I wanted them.  The polish colors are exclusive to this collaboration and, according to the article, "they don't match the gloves, but complement them."  Sadly, they're only available at the Bleecker St. location and I don't think we're making another trip to New York this year.  Maybe they'll take orders over the phone? If they do, the only thing left to decide now is which color to get!

Holga iPhone case

Most iPhone cases are purely decorative/protective, but this case by Holga actually does something else. Rotating the dial (Anyone else remember rotary dial phones?  Just me? Okay...)  gives you access to 9 different special effects, including a 60 mm macro lens and several colored filters.  And it's not too expensive either!
