Tired of teaching your parents?

Let google do it. Everytime I visit my parents I have to reteach my mother about email and browsers. This time google will do it for me. They have a site that is simple enough to use. With Teach parents tech  you just check a series of boxes appropriate to your situation, and they send how-to videos about what your parents want to learn. I've just sent one to my mom, now I just have to wait till I see her to show her how to access her email and watch the video.

Hello Beauty

Was just wandering if Sephora had any Hello Kitty products, and so a search on their site turned up this message indicating that they will have some soon. Yay! Hopefully its not too childish looking. But who am I kidding its Hello Kitty!

Lanvin for H&M

I'm all for collaborations between designers, and H&M is notorious for theirs. This is one I actually like because H&M managed to make it still look like couture with out compromising Lanvin's designs. Lucky mag has a preview and a video.

Update:
The release day quickly approaches and you have to decide if you want to wait in line for a piece of Lanvin. I'm having 2nd thoughts since the H&M in DC will be opening at 8am tomorrow and I don't wake up at 8 for anyone. Last time I did that was for the Running of the Brides and that was a tremendous waste of time.

But I do have my eyes set on this skirt and that dress up top. The dresses are priced at 199 and 249. The skirt below is 59.95.

Hipsterburg NY

Wandering around Willamsburg for the first time we came across the darling jewelry shop Catbird. They carry designs by independent artists. Most of their jewelry is quirky, cute, and delicate. I immediately fell in L O V E. I wanted everything! Tiny diamond rings, bunnies humping silver rings, and mini books with mini revolvers hidden in them. I didn't get anything that day but no worries, I can shop online at Catbirdnyc.com

Chinese paper cuts

I finally started to get the hang of putting on false eyelashes so I've been on the look out for a good brand. So far I really like the soft eyelashes of Dolly Wink. But I just came across these falsies on Urban Outfitters beauty shop. Its Chinese Paper Cut-out inspired. I'm curious as to when would be the appropriate time to wear them. Halloween? New years? Chinese new years?
