Thakoon for Nars Nail Polish Koliary

All of the Thakoon for Nars nail polish shades are amazing, but Koliary is going to be my go-to summer color.

Trend: Lips

Strangely, completely unrelated to the return of Schiaparelli, lips are making a big splash. From glossy enamel puckers to more minimalist gold interpretations this surrealist icon is having a moment especially in jewelry. I love the idea of wearing a bold kisser, but it definitely makes a statement. Would you wear this trend?

Need: Pamela Love Spiked Earrings

Pamela Love's Spring collection is my favorite from the designer. She took one of my favorite inspirations, the American Southwest, and modernized the shapes and materials in a beautiful way. These earrings are my favorite from the collection. I am always drawn to earrings with unique backings and the silver spikes on these are just right.

Guess 30th Anniversary

As part of their Thirty Sexy Years campaign, Guess has reissued updated versions of the classics that appeared in the ads spanning that time (featuring notables like Claudia Schiffer, Anna Nicole Smith and Drew Barrymore). I chose the Beverly Sophie Gingham Pant because they are classic and a bit daring. We all know that Guess has sexiness down pat in their ads, but I love the sense of adventure that their cast of women brings. In a lot of ways living in New York has that same feeling. Around every corner there could be some new wonderful experience. These pants are the perfect item for that because by changing just one item you can completely transform their look. One minute its grabbing a coffee or shopping for flowers, the next, who knows.

Rings

I get a lot of questions on my nail posts about where I got the rings that I wear in the photos. I wear most of my rings daily and have worn the same ones for years. Three to four out of the six or so I wear daily were gifts from loved ones and the others are rings that I have bought myself. As is clear in my photos, I have a penchant for thin, delicate bands with small gems or geometric elements. While I can't direct you to where to buy most of my rings, I can show you some of the ones I'd love to add into my rotation. The lips and horseshoe are from Fucci House available at Bird. The square and diamond/turquoise rings are by Mociun, a new favorite of mine. Catbird in Brooklyn is also brimming with tiny little rings of all kinds (they brought the world the chic knuckle ring).
