Mani Monday – Moonstruck

March 28th, 2011 · No Comments · BEAUTY, Mani Monday

We love these colorful recounts of the classic half-moon manicure! The “moonicure” was originally made popular by Gatsby-era movie starlets, and featured a bare moon paired with classic red tips. Recently, the trend has re-emerged on runways from Thakoon to Phillip Lim, and we couldn’t be more obsessed… Check out the video below for an [...]

The leopard print mani technique may take a tad extra dexterity–but, once you get the hang of it, it’s surprisingly easy to master! Check out these YouTube tutorials, using everything from toothpicks and acrylic paint to felt tip eyeliner to create the spots! (We like Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens, $7) Here’s a quick simple [...]

Braided Blondes

November 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment · And the winner is..., BEAUTY, INSPIRED BY...

I absolutely LOVE the simple, yet chic hair in this spread–not to mention the covetable selection of chunky, cozy knits, sherling jackets, and Mongolian lamb fur coats! I’m a big fan of the bowl cut; I had one last year, and shore it off for summer! Now, all I want is my China Phillips circa [...]

I ♥ Unicorns

November 10th, 2010 · 66 Comments · BEAUTY, GIVEAWAY!, STORE NEWS

It’s a well-known fact that, here at Calico, we’re pretty much obsessed with anything 80′s! So when we stumbled upon this UH-MAZING 80′s-inspired fragrance from A Beautiful Life, they pretty much had us at “Unicorn.” Hand-crafted by a husband and wife team, I Heart Unicorns is an ode to the 80′s, when Barbie’s and blacklight [...]

AND THE SUN SETS ON SUMMER…

September 10th, 2010 · No Comments · BEAUTY, BLOGLOVE, INSPIRED BY...

We had an amazing summer here in New England, complete with countless beach days and backyard BBQ’s! It wasn’t until I attended a friend’s Labor Day party last week that I realized my summer had officially come full circle. Meaning–I did the exact same thing Memorial Day as I did Labor Day–throwing the Frisbee around, [...]

GET NAKED

September 4th, 2010 · No Comments · BEAUTY, GIMME, LOOKBOOK, OBSESSED, TREND ALERT, YOUTUBE

I am currently obsessing over the Urban Decay Naked Palette! I watch far too many YouTube beauty gurus, and this palette is definitely a Fall MUST-HAVE for any makeup fan. It’s sold out on the Urban Decay website, so I’m crossing my fingers that I can pick one up at Sephora in time for our [...]

I absolutely LOVED the bowl cut Amelia gave me back in November–but a precision style was way too much hassle to wear through the summer! So last weekend, we decided to chop it all off! We snapped a couple headshots of each style for Amelia’s book. All I have to say is… My new cropped [...]

NYFW: Saturday with John/Twinkle & Irina Shabayeva

March 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · BEAUTY, NYFW, OUT & ABOUT

I arrived in NYC the day before my Calico comrades and rushed to the tents at Bryant Park to fetch my press pass. (It was our first time having press passes, and we were pretty psyched about it.) As soon as I got my pass, I headed straight for the tents with my buddy, Leila, [...]
