Sometimes I feel like having two smartphones, a BlackBerry and an iPhone, just because the iPhone gets all the cool apps but I’ll settle with my iPod Touch to use all the apps instead!

Loving the Minx Nails nail trend, designs are unlimited with Minx, it is made of film and not polish so they can be customized with metallics, personalized graphics, and photo-quality designs in flexible nontoxic film form. Minx is applied with heat so there’s no fuss with drying and smudging but the catch is it doesn’t last very long and rips off easily. But Minx definitely makes a statement and great for special events, photoshoots and parties. Pricing for the flower Minx Nails is about $55, it varies. Beyonce, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Blake Lively, Solange, Eve and many other celebs are also fans of Minx Nails. For more info and to find a salon, check out their site.
I’m loving the futuristic and robotic look of the metallic Minx nails, they’re so hot! Also, for cute days the leopard print and flower print is amazing too! I’m dying to try it, have you tried?
More pics after the jump…
I’ve been slacking I know, but here’s some dope news for all fashionistas!!

According to a Target spokesman, the collection is “very feminine, yet very modern and incorporates a rich mix of patterns and fabrications and everything from sequins and bows to faux fur”.
Mark your calendars, the limited edition collection will launch at Target stores nationwide and on target.com on December 20, 2009, and will be available through February 6, 2009. Now we have a collection to look forward after the Anna Sui collection. I can’t wait to see how the collection turns out, now we can own a piece of Rodarte! Are you guys excited??

Today is a sad day, first news was announced that ‘Charlie’s Angel’ Farrah Fawcett died at 62 due to a long battle of anal cancer, R.I.P. Then a more shocking news came in that the legendary King of Pop and style icon, Michael Jackson entered a cardiac arrest and later died at UCLA Medical Center. The cause of death is still unknown, they’ll be performing autopsy tomorrow. He was pronounced dead on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 2:26pm, he was 50.
I’m still in shock, it’s crazy, I grew up listening and watching Michael Jackson, he was a true icon. I’m watching “Remembering Michael Jackson” on CNN now.

H&M never fails to surprise me, news just released that they have tapped Jimmy Choo as the next designer guest collaboration to launch a collection of shoes, bags, accessories for both men and women, and a women’s clothing collection to complement the accessories. This marks the first time that H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand, super exciting! The limited edition collection will be available from November 14, 2009 in around 200 H&M stores across the world. Start saving up!
“We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M so far, and to be designing a collection appealing to fashion savvy, street smart women, and to be including some great pieces for men, too. Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!” Tamara Mellon, Founder and President, Jimmy Choo.
“We adore Jimmy Choo’s shoes and bags. They are glamorous and sexy, and they add instant style to the simplest of outfits. I like the way we have worked with clothes to accessorize the shoes and bags rather than the other way around. This collaboration is particularly exciting because it’s our first shoe designer collection. It’s a joy to be able to offer top end designer shoes and bags of excellent quality to our customers.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor, H&M.
I simply can’t wait!
