Trend Report: Turbans

The turban made it's debut at Paris Fashion Week back in Spring of '07 at Prada. However once SJP and other style icons started rocking this trend the turban is now making it's way to the streets. I noticed several people wearing different style turbans during New York Fashion Week in September.  It looked very tres chic & mature on the ladies who rocked it.

Personally, I like the headband-style turban (like Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen ) and will probably start there. It's soboho/gypset chic which is right up my alley. 

TIP: You must have confidence when you are are rocking the turban, that's the only way you are going to make it work!

Got her toes done up wit her finger nails matchin'

Don't you hate it when you paint your nails, only to find after a few days that they've started to chip? Well Minx is the answer to our prayers. Minx Nails are the latest trend in celebrity nails. A flexible polymer that is heated then applied to nails, like a sticker. It doesn't chip,it doesn't smudge, and there's no need for you to reapply a layer of top coat every other day. The designs you can choose from are ulimited since you can customize your own nails. It's like "fashion for your fingertips".

Peep the vid to see how its done...





I've selected a few of my faves...


Minx Nails are about $40 to apply, but pricing varies. Beyonce, Rihanna, Keri Hilson, Lady Gaga, Blake Lively, Solange, Eve, Teyana Taylor and many other celebs are also fans of Minx Nails.

Katy Perry sent Twitpics of her Minx designs.
