A Case for Style Giveaway Winner

Mes chéris, as tried and true fashionistas it should come as no surprise that we do everything in our power to ensure that our appearance is perfect at any and all times; so, of course, we should extend the very same courtesy to the techie toys that we would be oh-so lost without, protecting them in pretty cases that keep them looking as glamorous as we do. Now, courtesy of Caseable, one (1) of you lovelies will have just the chance, via a $60.00 Gift Certificate good towards creating the iPad, laptop, or Kindle case of your dreams! Congratulations to…

…Ashley of Turquoise & Teale!

Please e-mail me at cafefashionista@yahoo.com to claim your prize.

Thank you to the winner, and to everyone who entered Café Fashionista’s giveaway!

Think Pink!

Dolls, the color pink may often be equated with saucy “Barbie girls living in a Barbie world”, but the haute hue is so much more than a mere frivolous flavor thanks to its globally recognized appearance as the official color of Breast Cancer Awareness. And now you can do your part in joining the battle to beat breast cancer, whilst adding a new splash of pink to your arsenal of beauty supplies, via the Pink Orchid Limited Edition from ghd website.

Like all ghd stylers, the Pink Orchid Limited Edition is every bit as worthy as its predecessors in combating frizz and leaving you with sleek shine through and through; yet features a supremely girly touch courtesy of le hot orchid pink hue (a fabulous shade seen all over the SS 2011 runways), which plays peek-a-boo beneath a luscious, black, rose-adorned lace – an exquisite aspect that need not reside solely in your bathroom, as the decadent design is splayed out upon a clutch bag that works just as well for glamorous girls night’s out as it does as a carrying case for the glorious hair utensil.

But I digress. Vibrant pink plates and charming clutch aside, it is the “$20.00 donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation & the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation” with every purchase that makes it all worthwhile, as every use is a lasting reminder of the part you are playing in furthering the research towards finding a cure.

Go ahead my pretties; pink up your life!

A Case for Style

Lovers, let’s be honest…no one can resist a good mystery – especially one of the fashion variety. A game of cat and mouse which leads us to the perfect pair of nude pumps; a haute session of hide and seek wherein the hidden gem is not our beloved BFF, but rather a sublime pair of floor-skimming wide leg jeans; or, in regards to today’s chic challenge, a search for a charming case to stow our techie treasures (a la Kindle’s, Laptops, MacBook’s, and iPad’s) within – like the very ones that Caseable creates for your carrying pleasure.

You guessed it, dolls! Café Fashionista has teamed up with Caseable, “…a Brooklyn and Berlin based company, offering fully customizable handmade protective sleeves for your laptop, MacBook, iPad or Kindle,” to bring one (1) savvy stylista a $60.00 Gift Certificate good towards creating your dream case!

With Caseable “You have full control over the entire design process via our easy-to-use customization tool. With the ability to decide on details ranging from thread choice to case color, your possibilities are endless! Whether you want a fashion statement, your own photography, or your company logo - you are the designer. We also present a wide range of pre-made designs for those who prefer appreciating art rather than creating it.”

♥For one (1) entry, leave a comment on this post stating what item you would put your Caseable Gift Certificate towards, between now and Friday, August 26, 2011 at midnight PST.

♥For two (2) entries, Tweet about this giveaway, and leave a comment on this post stating what item you would put your Caseable Gift Certificate towards, between now and Friday, August 26, 2011 at midnight PST with your Twitter URL.

Time to 'Watch' Time Squared!

Lovers, “you’re late, you’re late…for a very important date!” And what, pray tell, is this très important tête-à-tête, you ask? Don’t be daft, darlings; it’s the chance for you to experience the wonderment that is time2 and it’s corresponding time2 blog!

Time2 (that is, of course, short for Time Squared) is a veritable smorgasbord of information about upcoming events involving tantalizing timepieces, in addition to being a one-stop shop for the watch lover within. A charming online locale where you can purchase pretty Juicy Couture gems, then learn of exciting events involving your new splurge du jour. For instance, had you recently paid them a visit, you would have been aware of the fact that just yesterday, Selfridges hosted a Juicy Couture Tea Party - complete with tea, cupcakes, and bubbly - smack dab in the middle of the fashion watch department!

But I digress, my darlings. The future is now; and while you may have missed yesterday’s ultra-fabulous Juicy Couture Tea Party, time2 blog is here to ensure that you are kept in-the-know about everything involving wrist-wear – from the Tea Party that Chopard will be launching next week in the Selfridges Wonder Room to showcase their new Temptations collection, to the top watch styles for the fall season to see you through autumn in true sassy style.

Now…don’t dawdle, dolls! Off you go to time2. And while you’re there, don’t forget to pick me up a prezzie or two; you do know how I can never resist a beautiful bauble!

Dazzle in Designer {Sunnies, That Is}

Kitty cats, some may think that it is ludicrous to spend a small fortune on Designer Sunglasses, but when you think of such a splurge in terms of Jersey Shore’s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, who recently stated, “Fashion Fact: Most people make the assumption that I wear trendy shades the majority of the time (often indoors) to protect my eyes from the elements. But in fact it's the reverse. I'm protecting the elements from the brilliance of my eyes,” a purchase of this magnitude can be justified as a service to the world around you. As such, it requires a truly decadent pair to get the job done right. In my case, that pair would have to be…DSQUARED2’s 0015 - très James Bond, mais oui?

Perfectly oversized so that they will look just as elegant perched upon your nose as they will peeking out from your tantalizing tresses for those moments when you want to park them atop your head; androgynous in aesthetic so that you can share them with your cute boy du jour (should you deem him worthy); and available in seven saucy shades (Havana / Brown Gradient, Black / Grey Gradient, Blue Violet Gradient, Brown Green Gradient, Brown Gradient / Havana, Brown Gradient Lens / Brown, and Grey Gradient / Black) so you can don a new pair every single day of the week…in simpler terms? They are flawlessly fabulous – and less than $200.00 a pair. How could you not Like – scratch that – love them?

What pair of designer sunglasses do you dream of donning?
