Build your nailpolish collection!

Hello PSers,

I truly enjoy nail polish from all sorts of brands… and LOVE getting the color of the season. However, I think for a grad student/anyone on a budget, its important to have limits. I recently understood that it was important for me to have at least a few pastel nail colors in my wardrobe for spring. I was particularly interested in these minty blues/pale yellows/bubblegum pink types.  And then I realized that if you are on a budget and already have a sizable nail polish collection, you can’t justify buying every color just because it looks good. Then I discovered Orly Nail Lacquer Minis.

Reporting from India – New haircolor!

Hello PSers!

As promised I did just go back to my favorite salon Bridgette Jones, Kolkata, India. This is the same salon I got my hair cut and blogged about. I LOVE it. Its a red highlight with a wine base color. The salon used Schwarzkopf Igora in a bright red for highlights and a Schwarzkopf base shade as well. I did not note down the numbers (bad blogger!) but here’s Scwarzkopf’s website for your use. But here are the results!

How the t-shirt evolved into a fashion staple!

Dear PSers,

I just wanted to do a quick repost about Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Stylemint. They came up with this amazing video about the evolution of the t-shirt to its cult status today.

L.A. Wedding!

A friend of mine recently got invited to an L.A. Wedding. It’s going to be in August and will be outside. Although she already owns quite a few pretty dresses, mostly from White House | Black Market. She wanted to go bright, bold and a little flashy for this wedding without spending a fortune of course.

So we were on the hunt, for dresses and shoes. We spent time in a lot of different stores, but as we all know, either the size fits or the price is right….never both.

We finally got lucky at JC Penney. They had a great selection of dresses, and they were on sale!

So here are the winners:

Let’s go digging for treasure – Baublebar

Remember my online jewelry find – Baublebar? Not only are they giving out a free piece of jewelry to new sign ups with this link, every Friday, they are doing something REALLY fun. They mark down one jewelry from it’s full price to $10. So every Friday you can score a high quality BaubleBar piece for a LOT less (check out last week’s post). I think it’s a fun idea, and it’s a great way to take a break from homework or work in general … or share it with a friend and hunt together (me and R did it together this week!).

Reporting from India – Brand Alert – Colorbar

Hello All,

I have recently stumbled upon a new and upcoming brand in India called Colorbar. I had heard about it from my mom,and she said this was an American company, since they marketed themselves as Colorbar USA. I do have a problem with this, because any research will reveal that these products are not American. They are in fact manufactured in India, and I think the brand should be proud of that fact. I, for one, would be fairly happy if they dropped the USA part. It would also be nice if the models used in the promo pictures were Indian. It would be a better representation of color cosmetics marketed for Indians anyways.

Macy’s One Day Sale is here again!!

One thing is for sure my family and I love shopping at Macy’s. However, we never really shell out lots of money in the store. What I love most about shopping at Macy’s are their great sales. Also, once you become a Macy’s card holder they send you tons of coupons that work even on Sale and Clearance items! So finding a great deal is never too difficult.

Jewelmint – BACK IN STOCK!

Hello Everyone,

So, I just realized my most favorite Jewelmint purchase is back in stock. The EROS earrings I LOVE. I wear it with ethnic clothing and western wear quite frequently. It’s a very unique piece in my opinion and can be dressed up or down. Unfortunately, I had a bit of an allergic to an earring and can’t show you them on my ears in this post. But I doubt ANYONE would regret buying these.

Sole Society- Handbags

Hello P.S. ers!

I was recently alerted of a brand new member only sale on Sole Society. As you all know I am absolutely in LOVE with their shoes in general (I brought my Clines to India with me! Yes, she is traveling the world with me!) In addition to fabulous shoes, Sole Society is now also starting to sell some designer quality handbags at marked down prices. Click here to see the bags!

Maxi Find!

If you’ve been reading our blog for a while, you’ll remember that I did a previous post about maxi dresses.

Well with all the soaring temperatures I realized I needed a break from pants and jeans. So, I was finally able to go out and get one for myself! 🙂

The first one I found was from TJ Maxx. I really love shopping at TJ Maxx. Their prices are definitely very competitive for the different brands available. Earlier this year I was able to nab a gorgeous snakeskin print Jessica Simpson hobo bag that was originally $108 for $30! 🙂

I don’t have an actual picture of the one from TJ Maxx, but it is very close to this, except it is a teal shade all over:
