HBO and designer Lydia Bravo have teamed up to bring us the Sex and the City bra strap collection. There is a different color bra strap for each Sex and the City star and each one is adorned with Swarovski crystal. It’s no surprise that Swarovski crystals were used since Swarovski had partnered with “Sex and the City 2″ on jewelry and accessories for the film. The bra straps colors for the Sex and the City ladies are:
Samantha ~ Crystal
Charlotte ~ Pink
Carrie ~ Gold
Miranda ~ Iridescent
Personally I don’t know that I would wear them as bra straps since I’m not a fan of strapless bras in the first place. I would however wear them with something like a tube top for an evening out. These straps are just adorable and attention grabbing, I can just see myself sparkling the night away with pink Swarovski crystals gracing my shoulders and light bouncing off of them at my every turn. These are absolutely fabulous!
The collection will be available this Fall at the HBO Shop in NYC and www.HBO.com/store - $142 per set

In July 2010 fragrance and apparel retailer Burberry will launch a new cosmetics line in Nordstrom department stores nationwide. The collection will have 96 pieces, some of the items such as the lipliner which will retail at $24 and a foundation compact which will retail at $59. Some of the other items included in the collection will be eye shadow, lip gloss, lipstick, mascara, eyeliner, bronzer, liquid foundation, blush and translucent powder.
Burberry’s creative director, Christopher Bailey told WWD: “Like the trenchcoat, it can be worn anywhere and at any time”
Christopher Bailey told WWD: “It started because I felt that, at shows and the shoots, the whole [Burberry] attitude is epitomized through the shoes, the bags, the clothes, the accessories, but then the face was the one thing I really struggled with. When we were doing makeup, I felt like we weren’t able to get the right attitude. It was either caked-on makeup or then just the wrong colors, the wrong tones, the wrong spirit for makeup. I wanted it to be this kind of effortless elegance.”
This should be no surprise..I am all over this line the minute it hits Nordstrom. Will you be sampling this luxurious line?
