Glitterati: Little Golden Wings

FabSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 15:00:22 PDT

When Ashley Smith isn't putting in a solid day's work at a San Francisco salon, she's at home toiling away on her newest venture, Little Golden Wings.

She started designing clothing as a creative outlet outside of her work, but it started to take up too much time and space. Instead of giving up altogether, Ashley rechanneled her efforts into making jewelry. She finds inspiration in antiques and vintage pieces, overgrown gardens, and "the things around us that glow and sparkle." Her goal is to recreate a nostalgic feeling in each piece, and by my judgment, she succeeds.

Little Golden Wings Jewelry runs $48 to $68 and is available at Etsy.com.

The Oscars Inspire a Nail Polish Collection

We're happy to present this article from one of our favorite sites, Real Beauty.

Most Oscar nominees have glamorous dress fittings, parties, and, of course, the possibility of a little golden statuette to look forward to. In beauty-land, none of that compares to getting your very own nail polish. Julep is celebrating the year's most stellar actresses early with bottles inspired by, and dedicated to, their passionate and awe-inspiring work on the big screen.

The seven options include Glenn (Close), Viola (Davis), Rachel (Weisz), Marisa (Tomei), Elizabeth (Olsen), and, of course, Meryl (no last name needed). The last bottle of the set is a glittery gold inspired by the one dude among the round-up: Oscar himself. Bottles are $14 a pop and available here.

Tell us, do you think any of the honored ladies will be sporting their color on the big night? Take Julep's quiz here to find out what your red carpet style is.
