We Love Deez Hos

Having just purchased a pair of these babies, I figured I should share my new legwear obsession with all my faithful readers: vertical striped tights! Not only are they impossibly chic, but the lengthwise lines will make your legs look long and lean - yay!

It seems that the best option is classic black and white for this striped hosiery ... but if you're brave play with color! Just make sure to keep the rest of your outfit simple - think Parisian chic, and avoid yellow or orange with black...it's never stylish to be a bumble bee or a confused holiday.

Candy-Coated Kicks

Alright, so I may be about 20 years late on the love for Nike Dunks, but recently I have been walking by too many stores displaying these confectionary kicks in the window, and they are triggering a real craving in my shoe sweet tooth!

Little Red Riding HOOD!

No longer just for basketball players and hanging on telephone lines, Nike Dunks will look fly on anyone willing to pair them with some skinny jeans, or tights and a mini skirt, a little sarcasm, and a lot of confidence. Don't take yourself too seriously and you'll grab the attention of any passersby - and not because you look like a preppy poser.

Be a Kosher Christian...

Comedienne turned jewelry designer Carlen Altman brings some chutspa to traditionally Christian prayer beads.



JEWISH ROSARIES

Does this not strike you as a genius concept? Being a child with parents of different faiths, I especially love this mix of religious iconography! Though Altman markets her pieces primarily to Jews, she says the jewelry is really for anyone - personally, I like the mixed message the wearer can send to make any onlookers a little curious.

The cheeky JEWelry is available in a few different styles:



"Peace Party" is Altman's newer collection, it's a light and very affordable line of plastic Jewish rosaries with a Star of David in place of the standard cross (there is even one that glows in the dark!) - and at $15, even an Atheist can't resist!


While the Classic Collection is a little more high-end (with a higher price to match - $98), made of materials including sterling silver, bronze and glass - and check out the details in the pendants!





As if the jewelry isn't cool enough, Altman sends her Jewish accessory love in awesome pouches, perfect for storing change or your money and ID for a low-maintenance night out!



Chai five Carlen!

Shalom and Ahava,
