You’ll ‘Fall’ in Love with the OPI France Collection

OMG, you guys! Check out just a few of the amazing colors from OPI’s France Collection for fall. Are they not gorgeous? Just wait til you see the whole collection and read the story behind the trend (and wait til you see the extra cool names the colors have!)

For the record, as much as I love Sally Hansen as a drugstore brand, I have absolutely no problem spending a little extra cash on OPI salon nail colors. No problem at all. The colors are rich and fabulous, and most of them are so unique, you’re hard-pressed to find them in any of the drugstore brands. OPI is definitely a splurge well worth sacrificing a latte for!

So what do you guys think of the colors? And do you plan to splurge on any trendy nail colors for fall, or will you stick to status quo? Leave a comment below and let us know!! =)

A Sneak Peek at Chic and Cozy Fall Duds

Okay, so I know we unofficially have ONE MORE WEEK left of summer, but I can’t help but drool over the fall stuff that is hitting stores and websites daily. I love the rich colors, the substantial textures, the coziness of it all. Fall is grand (plus it’s totally cold here today, so I most definitely have fall on the brain!)

So, of course, I will be turning to one of my faves, Hollister, for some great fall wardrobe additions, as you probably will too. Take a look at what we have in store for us.

I’m starting with this, because it totally has my name all over it:

And then I’m adding these…

Great stuff, huh? Are you salivating at this point? Thought so. ;)

Dress Up Your Simple Ponytail with This!

Bees Knees Pony Pretty, $6. Available on Etsy.com

This has got to be one of the cutest pony-holders evah!

Oops, wait. This is not a pony holder. It’s a Pony Pretty. And it goes over top of your already-in-place ponytail holder to add some character and extra sass.

This is such a fun find. I noticed that this same gal (an Etsy artist) has several different styles to pick from, one of them being Halloween (never to early to plan for a little spookiness, right?).

This one’s called Bees Knees and all of the Pony Pretty Holders come in pairs. This way you can split your strands into pigtails or even layer two holders onto one pony for extra interest. And the price? Way too fabulous for words!

Check out all the styles this artist has to offer. Fun stuff, for sure!

The Back-to-School Must-Have Almost as Important as Your Wardrobe

Bahamas Get-Ready Set by Pottery Barn Teen, $199

I’ll never dispute that a fabulous wardrobe, amazing haircut and killer makeup should be tops on your Back-to-School must-have list, but what better way to keep the small stuff organized than this Get-Ready Set by Pottery Barn Teen? It’s got places and compartments for all your beauty necessities, and the very fact that it’s on wheels - and thus, totally portable - makes me pine for it like a crazy person.

This beauty comes in the pink and blue “Bahamas” patterns above, but is also available in solid pink, blue or green.

If you ask me, the inventor of this thing should shoot to the top of their class. This is genius!

Regarding Contests at TSL

Hey guys!

Just a quick note to remind you all that it is a pleasure for me to host contests for you here at Teen Style Lounge. However, sometimes the circumstances surrounding contests can be tricky and out of my control.

For example, the recent Clean and Clear In-Shower facial contest. I asked the winners to please email me their addresses. Less than ten of the winners did. While I waited for some others to write in, the Clean & Clear rep that I was working with on the contest transferred to another company, and now someone new will have to handle it.

So, while I’m probably telling you all more than you need to know, I just want you to realize that I am not holding your prizes hostage, nor do I even have them in my possession. Prizes generally come straight from the company sponsoring the contest, and that sometimes means a slight wait in receiving the gifts.

While I know it’s hard to be patient while you’re awaiting something you’re dying to get your hands on, remember that the prize is a PRIZE, that it’s a GIFT and it’s something that I and another company are GIVING you, so please try to hang tight and be accepting of any delays. It is our goal to get these gifts out to you in hopes that you’ll love them. Plus, it’s just fun to give stuff away. ;P

So thanks to all of you who have entered. While I get my Clean & Clear contact person up to speed, I am also delaying the American Mall contest so there isn’t any further confusion. Watch for that to be reinstated soon, but not until the facial contest is settled. (P.S. If you were an In-Shower Facial winner and you haven’t emailed me your address yet, please do so ASAP. I would assume that anyone who wanted their winnings would be proactive in making contact, so I’ll expect to hear from you soon. Thanks.) :)
