Coral

Even if you’re not typically a coral kind of gal, trust me when I say that you’ll love the way they look with a little bit of mascara and some bronzer in the summertime. Coral has that je ne sais quoi to make tanned skin look all the more radiant. Below are my favorite coral lipsticks, They are a little deeper than peach lipgloss without being overly orange. Do you prefer one lipstick color over another in certain seasons?

• Stila Lip Color in Miranda ($17) is a shiny, creamy and super-sheer everyday coral lipstick. Last year, it was so popular that it was honored as one of In Style's Best of Beauty Buys. It's a good choice if you want to ease into the color trend.
• Chantecaille Lip Chic in Geranium ($30) is a sheer, rich nudey-coral. This creamy formula stays moist for hours and looks great worn alone or with a sheer gloss on top.
• I've already told you how gorgeous the new, creamy Diane Von Furstenberg Volcano Lipstick ($18) is. This golden, pale coral-peach shade looks killer paired with black mascara and bronzer.
• Guerlain KissKiss Stick Gloss in Mango Fizz ($30) is a sheer and shiny hydrating lipstick that contains just a little bit of maxi-lip for plumpness without having too much of a tingle.
• Lancome Le Rouge Absolou in Coral Gossamer ($26) is a creamy textured, medium-coral colored lipstick that contains a touch of shimmer for a pearlized, glowy finish and SPF 15 for sun protection.

Although Diane Von Furstenberg has discontinued her makeup line (let's all take a moment to mourn the loss of her awesome pink glosses), she can't let her love of makeup fade. So, each season she has decided to release one signature lipstick to complement her collection. Summer's choice will appeal to girls who were born to love volcanoes.

Volcano ($18) is an explosive shade of shimmery, pale coral. The texture is creamy and the color could also be categorized as a peachy-nude that enhances your natural lip. It is intended for all skin tones and looks great with strong brown and flushed cheeks.

The inspiration for her Summer 2008 collection and lipstick came from the lush and bright flowers that landscape the countryside of Bali. Having been there, I can attest to the glorious vibe that has been an inspiration for makeup, clothing and perfume. Are you interested in checking out Volcano for yourself?

I already stayed in and cooked with my Lovah and now I'm ready to dine out! A best friend and I are hitting up one of San Francisco's newest, poshest restaurants. I hear it has cool art pieces, expensive decor, and the elite of the city as patrons. This isn't just any old joint, so I need help putting together an outfit that will make me stand out but not stick out. I'm thinking something a little sexy but not slutty. Let your imaginations run wild.

I'll start you off with this Forever 21 Coral Silk Scarf ($9) because it's versatile. I can wear it around my neck, bag, or hair.

While Lisa Jones is more of a sculptor than a designer, I couldn't resist showing you her beautiful, imaginative sculptural works. Some of her objects, such as the Symbiosis Chair Series, are beautiful riffs on interior decor, while others, such as the Pipe Series, are brilliantly abstract in their execution. I especially love the coral motifs in the Symbiosis series: Perhaps she's been influenced by the Great Barrier Reef?

Showing primarily in Sydney, where she also earned her Masters of VIsual Arts, in her artist's statement Lisa writes:

Within my sculptural objects a language of internal opposition exists that informs the whole. This apparently conflicting exchange defines the work through the tension between order and chaos; the organic and the refined; repetition and divergence; progress and reversal.The resulting sculptures are not what they appear to be. Seemingly solid forms are in fact rigid, hollow sacks that define the volumes they describe.Their organic forms and the materials of their composition evoke a strong sensory experience of their tactility, provoking a desire to touch.

No longer relegated to scuba-diving and seaside dwellings, coral is coming into its own as a high-end design motif. It's not often I find myself ooh-ing and ahh-ing over ocean-inspired home design, but lately, I've been drawn to everything from traditional red coral-shaped candlesticks to these ultra-modern Inhabit Coral Pillows ($60 to $68). Whether you live by the sea or buried in a city, these hip coral-adorned pieces are just perfect for Summer. Just click on the photos to view each product below.

I'm thinking it must have been hard for JT to get a whiff of Cameron looking so fresh and fabulous at the Shrek 3 premiere. We all have leg envy already, but I'm loving how she whips out a sleek Chanel coral dress with cool contrasting pewter pumps. I'm totally digging her two-tone do...are you? Here's some coral advice: it really only looks good on slightly tan or dark skin so wait until you have a nice base tan to complement this Summer flavor.

Coral Lip Gloss by Jouer Cosmetics $18, is an ultra sheer soft shade of coral. This color would look great with a tan! The gloss is silky, high in shine and it lasts long on your lips. I love the texture of this gloss because it's not sticky whatsoever!
