I remember the days of playing Pretty Pretty Princess—whoever stacked up the most
jewels by the end of the game was crowned the prettiest princess. Little girls and women alike find ways to ice anything and everything on their bodies. From our crowns and ears, to our necks and fingers, to even our Queen V’s, no area is left unfrosted. But unless you’re a queen, or a 4 year old playing Pretty Pretty Princess, wearing a tiara, 10 rings, 7 cuffs, 3 necklaces and a pair of earrings is just downright tacky. While Kim Kardashian
drips herself in more diamonds in the pursuit of her fairytale ending, us common folk have the celebrity jewelry trend, “hand bracelets,” to keep our princess dreams satiated.
Stars including Katy Perry, Giuliana Rancic and Victoria Justice are adorning their palms with this statement piece by Prive Jewellery (pictured above right), which is a cross between a bracelet cuff and a tiara. And even this past week, Nicole Scherzinger wore an eye-catching hand bracelet on “X Factor.” Would you wear this trend? We want to know. Vote below! (posted by Cody)

Here’s a scent to know about. And I’m not saying this just because it has a huge celebrity following (Demi Moore, Mila Kunis and Hayden Panettiere all own fragrances from the line) or because it’s really affordable. A 3.8 oz full-size bottle is $35 and the travel size (shown below), which I prefer because it has a no-spill roller ball applicator, is only $12.
Eau De Nous isn’t over-thought or forced. It’s a series of simple, lovely aromas made by two sisters, Daya and Vally Fernandez, who created a series of scents reminiscent of their childhood. There are 4 in all: Gardenian Gift, which has notes of jasmine, orange and cloves; Bebe Breeze, a mix of rich floral tones like roses and lilies; Citrus Charm, a blend of mandarin and grapefruit essences; and Jasmine Joy, a marriage of honeysuckle, sandalwood and jasmine oil.
The perfumes are really wearable and casual enough for everyday. For summer I’m into Gardenian Gift. It’s quiet, floral, and fresh – just what summer should be.

Snakeskin is sexy. On a handbag or pair of shoes, that is. But when skin’s texture starts to coordinate with accessories, the look becomes downright icky.
Hair bling is so 2010. I first spotted this questionable trend on “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Adrienne Maloof. Then, Oprah had a guest on her show and interrupted the serious interview to ask about the sparkly hair extensions in her guest’s hair. They caught Oprah’s eyes, and suddenly that guest’s smart decision to wear her own product called 
However, there’s a new twist on this trend that does. Feather extensions are as fresh as Steven Tyler’s comeback and free of cheese factor. Credit West coasters and hipster-filled music festivals like Coachella for putting these plumes into flight. Their popularity has soared this spring and now they’re migrating east. Salons are adding feather clip-ons from popular brands like Featherlocks (click 
Now that “feathered” hair is back, I asked stylist Joy La Rosa, who works at New York-based Sam Brocato Salon, to offer her tips on what works best for different hair types.
If you have short hair: Try more feathers in different places on the head.
If you have long hair: Ask for larger clusters of feathers so they don’t get totally lost in your hair.
If you have curly hair: Pick a mix of varying lengths, textures and thicknesses such as stripes and solids to help accentuate curls.
If you have straight hair: Follow Hilary Duff’s lead. Tame, thin, subtle feathers look best.
When you have the chance to spend an afternoon with a Victoria’s Secret model, you take it. So, this week I dined at Cibo Matto in The Wit hotel with VS Angel Lindsay Ellingson (documented in the pic below), who was in town for the launch of the brand’s new “Gorgeous” push-up bra. Lindsay is not only stunning, she’s so normal, down-to-earth and easy to talk to. When asked what she does to get her perfect body in shape for the VS fashion show, which happens to be one of the most electric, entertaining spectacles I’ve ever attended, I may have given her a dirty look.
During our date, Lindsay introduced me to the newest VS fragrance suite called Attractions. The four body mists, which can be layered, have very different scent profiles. Sweet Craving is like inhaling a bowl of vanilla creme brulee, Wild One is slighlty floral, Glam Goddess smells fresh and clean, and Love Bitten is woodsy with a hint of apple.
Last week I had tea at the Peninsula with famed hairstylist Ouidad (that’s us posing for the picture!), the queen of the curly hair revolution. The founder of her eponymous salons and haircare line specifically targeted to nourish and treat our kinks, Ouidad firmly believes women should embrace their natural bends. “There’s so much you can do with curly hair!,” she says. Although the surge of flat irons and chemical straightening treatments wiped out waves in the 90s, glamorous curls are back, dominating everything from the
