Dina Fierro — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:01:43 +0000

This morning, I hit the Bryant Park tents early to cover backstage at Lela Rose Spring 2010. On hand was nail guru Deborah Lippman of Lippman Collection, who created the nail look backstage, using her opaque nude Fashion for tips and toes.

Deborah was nice enough to chat with me for a few minutes about the Lela Rose look as well as some more general nail care tips. Check out the YouTube video below and let me know what you think!

Splendicity is launching on September 4th!

Shannon Nelson — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 03:02:39 +0000

b5media has been buzzing with activity lately! We are launching an ultra splendid style community called Splendicity! It launches on September 4th and from what a little birdie told me, there are going to be about $2000 worth of awesome prizes being given away throughout September!

For me, the best part of being a member of Splendicity, is the fact that I have been a reader of most of the member blogs for a long while prior to them joining Splendicity–but now I get to interact with them behind the scenes, and I’ve got to tell you–these girls are the bees knees!

So I hope you’ll stop by for the launch and I sure hope you participate in the contests and win some pretty cool products! (But I can’t tell you what–you have to find out for yourself! :) )
