The future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades- vibrant, sassy and bold shades of polish! The best companion to the adorable sandals of the season is the colorful pedicure. Bright shades are a great way to add pizzazz to any look. No shades are off limits- the brighter, the better. Flamingo pink, posh purple, terrific turquoise or a show-stopping, sun-drenched yellow are quickly becoming favorites.

Baz Luhrmann, who brought us the glittery music extravaganza "Moulin Rouge," is pairing up with Nicole Kidman again. Like "Moulin Rouge," the film will be a musical and will center around a romance, but this time it will be packed with action between the singing numbers. Here are beautiful pictures of Nicole and Hugh Jackman from the upcoming epic. It looks like the clothing alone will be worth the admission.

How cute are these bags? For $220 you can have your own unique canvas weekender that is made using recycled and cruelty-free textiles, while ensuring a fair wage and a people-friendly production process. If the fabric reminds you of a sari, it is probably because the recycled material is made from Ralli quilts popular in West Bengal, India and were often collected as status of wealth and used for daughters' dowries.

Summer Hair S.O.S.

06.27.08 | posted in: Noteworthy

In the summer time, we’re out and about much more. With the slough of outdoor festivities, pool lounging and beach going, it’s important to remember that our hair might need some additional lovin’. I’ve asked two of Eliza’s favorite hair gurus and celebrity stylists Jeremy Clark and Ryan Randall to recommend some of their favorite hair-care products to keep summertime hair protected and gorgeous.

Jeremy’s Recommendations:
Rene Furterer Anti-Dehydrating Vegetal Spritz: “a very light styling spray that will protect the hair from heat, and keep the style in place lightly, and still allowing movement.”

Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo:”Hold the can about 15 inches away from the head and spray. This gives a style body, and absorbs any latent moisture… keeps a style looking good all day.”

Ryan’s Recommendations:
Paul Mitchell Color Protect Locking Spray: “A must for those with colored hair. Packed with sunscreen, it’s sure to lock in and extend the life of your color.”

TIGI Catwalk Camera Ready Shiner and Defrizzer: “A great pick me up for dull and dry hair… A little goes a long way, so use sparingly, and enjoy the shine. Don't you deserve silky, shiny, smells-so-good hair?! And with an amazing watermelon fragrance...it's perfect for summer!!”
