Fab Finding Follow-Up: Midnight Bowling Madness
Last weekend, I entertained my friends with my bowling skills, or rather, my lack thereof. After a late dinner, we headed over to the local alley for some midnight bowling.

On Our Radar: Become a Swell Stylist
You know Swell, my go-to place for fresh beachy finds — I hit it up before every major vacay? Did you know they are seeking stylists for their sweet site? It's pretty cool. This month, Elise Gray is the featured stylist. What that means is Ms. Gray gets a fun little bio and photo on the site, she picks her favorite products (which she actually makes a one percent commission on), she shares inspiration boards, and she gets not 15 minutes, but months of fame. You know where I'm going with this. This could be you. Enter yourself, and Swell's panel of professional stylists, designers, and buyers will do the judging. Good luck!

March Shopping Madness! Stones in the Rough
Polished gems are fine and dandy, but there's something about rough stones that give off a cool, ethereal aura. These little — or large — nuggets look 100 percent organic and provide stunning contrast against tailored ensembles. This wondrous Roberto Cavalli Stone Ring ($390) has me swooning for days. It has not one, but two matte, rough-cut stones. Rough perfection.
Trend Alert: Bag It Bohemian Style
Another wild trend for Spring in the realm of Luxotica is bohemian bags. These embellished handbags will instantly perk up any ensemble with their hippie-meets-tribal aesthetic. I like how they give off an ethnic vibe without going over the top, especially when paired with a neutral palette. This Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Bag ($1,495) is a seamless balance between funky and fabulous. I can already see myself pairing this bag with cut-off shorts, a white tee, and chunky platform sandals . . .
Celebrity Style: Gwyneth Paltrow
When Gwyneth puts on high heels, she means business. The actress-cum-lifestyle guru pranced NYC in a traffic-stopping ensemble. On top, she kept herself cozy with a cropped black cape-like coat and black scarf, while on bottom she looked svelte in skinny ankle-zip jeans and gray suede lace-up booties. The outfit needed a splash of color and her purple Tod's satchel took care of that. Long, lean, stylish — love it.
