Sustainability, Surprise, Success!

Written on June 11, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I’ve been doing a lot of “what I want” lately.  I hope you all don’t mind the quiet too terribly much. One of the things I’ve been doing is making food appear out of nowhere by carefully watering and (naturally) fertilizing my garden.  I now have my first self-made food: a radish. I almost have [...]

No Regrets: Zoya Nail Polish Exchange

Written on May 26, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

After much deliberation, I’ve finalized my choices.  I’ve sent them out.  There’s no turning back now – what’s done is done, and I just hope I won’t regret my decision. – I am, of course, talking about nail polish. I sent Zoya nine toxic polishes yesterday – these ones, if you’re curious – so they [...]

Acquired Aesthetics: A Beautiful Life Nails

Written on May 4, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I’ve already mentioned A Beautiful Life’s nail polish once before.  Talking about my new stuff  pre-review is usually not my M.O., but I’m flying by the seat of my pants lately. It’s called ‘Shroom, and it’s a wee bit browner than this image shows, but still very office-friendly, without being clear or light pink or [...]

Acquired Aesthetics: MerCurios

Written on March 17, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

In the past few months, I’ve noticed fashion bloggers wearing a lot of bold jewelry; namely, two-, three-, and even four-finger rings.  The Clothes Horse, the (chloe) conspiracy and Song of Style have all accessorized with them, each in their own unique style, and seemingly effortlessly. It’s the one thing that surprises me most about the [...]

To Covet: Cocktail Rings

Written on March 2, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I’ve been hunting for a piece of “statement jewelry” for years. I finally found my match on my last birthday: it’s a gold and copper sandstone ring, which I nabbed for just a few dollars at  an out-of-the-way vintage shop. What you can’t see from the crappy photos – which my broken camera and I [...]

method: Clean & Green, or Greenwashing?

Written on February 22, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Now that greenwashing is all the rage, more and more companies are trying to capitalize on the trend, not by adopting more eco-friendly practices, but by flat-out lying to you.  Plastics are “partially recyclable” (which usually means they’re not) and paper towels are suddenly a green choice, because “they’re made from trees – a natural resource!”  (Yes, that’s [...]

Zoya Nail Polish: Feeling Free for Fashion Week

Written on February 19, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

As I recover from a brief medical emergency – seven-day migraines are no fun – I’ll be around a little less than usual.  However, it’s fashion week in New York city, so I’m sure that all of you intrepid internet readers have lots of other eye candy to keep you busy while I’m recuperating. It [...]

Acquired Aesthetics: Nature of Beauty (Plus 15% Off Discount Code!)

Written on January 28, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Finally: after much trepidation and a little help from my friends at Nature of Beauty, I got the chance to try all natural makeup. As most of you know, I have rosacea, which means that along with all the usual makeup issues – clumping mascara, smearing eyeshadow, lipstick in the “I’m almost thirty” creases around [...]

Scorned Gypsies

Written on January 25, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

My sense of fashion has been wandering lately.  Like a rogue traveler, it can’t seem to stay in one place: I’ve been pairing my feminine, frilly things with deconstructed jeans, my Grecian dresses with motorcycle boots.  It’s an experimental phase that has brought some of my most neglected pieces to the forefront as I put them together in [...]

Aquired Aesthetics: Zoya Nail Polish

Written on January 15, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I have a love-hate relationship with nail polish.  My entire day-to-day life is predicated on the use of my hands: I take dictation at work, I do dishes at home, and between my time with the dog and my time taking out with my friends, I wash my hands a lot. And I just do [...]
