One of the hottest nail colors for Fall is going to be Black!

One of the hottest nail colors for Fall is going to be Black! I seriously about fell off my chair when I read this. To me Black Nail Polish was reserved for those going for the goth look in high school. Apparently not any more. A lot of celebs, including Mischa Barton, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba and MK have been sporting it for the last year or so and The Limited Edition Chanel Black Satin nail polish is sold out everywhere! In fact the only place I found to buy it online is eBay. A recent auction for one bottle of the color went for $47.02!. Click here to participate in the latest ebay auction.

So what do you guys think, Black Nail Polish, Love it or Hate it? If you love it, you can buy it here

Classic Bag of All Time: The Chanel 2.55

It does not get any more classic than this.

It does not get any more classic than this. Launched in February 1955, the Chanel 2.55 (Get it?) is as stylish today as it was 50 years ago. The bag features a double chain shoulder strap that allows a woman’s hands to be free, something common in downmarket products, but rare in luxury circles at the time. Chanel saw nothing unfeminine about keeping her hands busy, and she created clothes and accessories that matched her vanguard lifestyle. To celebrate its 50th Anniversary, the Chanel 2.55 was re-released in Fall 2005. The new version has a turn clasp instead of the CC clasp, which makes it more discrete and perhaps even more appealing.

The 2005 Re-Release

These bags are pretty hard to find for sale online, but if you hurry you can buy this one on eBay. Click here for the auction:

Wrinkle Free Spray

Fabulous Find: Wrinkle Free Spray

If this stuff really works, I might never iron again.

If this stuff really works, I might never iron again. Check out this Wrinkle Free Clothing Fabric Spray.

Here is the product description from Amazon:

Wrinkle Free works best on natural fabrics and is proven safe on even the most delicate fabrics including silk and satin. According to the February 2003 issue of "Consumer Reports," Wrinkle Free fabric spray is a lot more efficient than trying to steam wrinkles away in the hotel bathroom and more convenient than setting up an iron as it takes only minutes to make fabrics presentable.

The best thing about the quote above is that it made me realize I am not the only person that tries to use the hotel bathroom to steam the wrinkles out of my clothes! You can buy Wrinkle Free Spray here for $9.95
