Why aren't you wearing this? Merona Red Exotic Megan

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves

Often, when an inexpensive item tries to look rather high-end, it doesn't really work. And probably if you were to look really, really close at this Merona Red Exotic Megan bag, $29.99 at Target, you'd be able to tell that it's not from a swanky boutique, but you know what? Who looks that closely at your bag?

Tip of the day: Shadow for your shape

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day

Did you know that most makeup tips try to work the eye into an almond shape? It's true. The shape is considered the most flattering and extremely exotic. However, the tips often don't take into consideration those with deep set, wide set, small eyes, round eyes, or heavily hooded eyes. And if you wear glasses? Puh-lease, you'll never find info for that! Except for here that is.

Give your home a Zensual makeover

Filed under: Haute Home, Fragrance


Whether you've invited just a couple of pals or a whole bunch of people over, whenever you have guests in your home, you want it to make a good impression. That means putting away your dishes and maybe doing a little vacuuming ... but what about the first thing people notice when they come in the door? What about the scent?

A pleasant aroma can immediately set the tone of the evening, so you want to make sure you get it right. We're really digging Zensual. They offer a variety of intoxicating scents in both candle and diffuser form -- candles for when you want that romantic glow, and diffusers for when it's just too hot to deal with a flame.

Hot jewelry for travelophiles

Filed under: Stores We Love, Accessories

Picture me peeping out of a bright white button-down. Fierce!It's during these stretches of cold, gray day, after cold, gray day, after rainy, cold, gray day, that we all long to be somewhere under the equator. As we dig through the semi-broken $5 umbrellas that have amassed in our closets, we dream of lying on a beach, or exploring the rainforest, or traveling through the desert under the hot sun, and of course looking fabulous in a chic blend of luxury and local accoutrements.

For a taste of warmer climates, I recommend Pangea Collection. Pangea Collection was created by Patricia Pinkney to bring you exquisite and unusual jewelry and accessories from exotic countries all over the world, as well as Canada. Wait, Canada? Yeah, all right, I'll leave that alone.

A lot of these pieces, for example the African Lily Necklace ($62.70) at right are made with bold, bright colors, perfect for that Retro Princess: White and Bright look over which I've been drooling.

Patricia says: "Many of the collections are from Fair Trade organisations. Shipping to the USA and Canada is Free."

Good enough for me. Check out the great Travel Stories section, too. We all need to dream.

Vizeau, ultra-sexy undies for men

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Men

vizeauVizeau sells some of the most amazing underwear (and swimwear) for men I've ever seen. While the site is a bit of a sensory overload (turn down your speakers, seriously), the designs range from the brilliant to the outrageous. And, as you see from the pic, there's a "secret" undie section with some rather racy undergarments that I don't think are designed to be worn under a tuxedo. That is, unless the tux is designed to be ripped off the body quickly. The secret section is not safe for work, so be careful. Now I need to get to the gym so I can wear the less racy stuff!

Ferrari notebook offers F1 technology, Ferrari style

Filed under: Accessories

Ferrari is the epitome of the exotic car. It's best known for its high-performing, exotic-looking, ass-kicking supercars -- descriptions Acer is hoping will carry over along with the brand name adorning its new notebooks. The leading notebook producer for EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and sponsor of racing team Scuderia Ferrari have introduced the new Ferrari 5000 and Ferrari 1000 series, two notebooks incorporating the technology usually only found in the world of Formula One racing. A carbon fiber casing encloses an AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile processor and comes with several options, including a web cam, HD-DVD drive, Acer VoIP Bluetooth phone connectivity, and more. And, most importantly, the laptops are available in black and "Ferrari red."
