"Accordion" to Us...

Bonjour! Salut! Bienvenue!

...Strawberry Electric Nail Polish (#190) by Revlon goes perfectly with a push-button accordion.

 What were we serenading our friends with? Elvis, of course. From "Love Me Tender" to "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You," our pink nails were as captivating as our melodies. Our DIY tip? Always accessorize your fingertips to your instrument.

"A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion, but doesn't."
—Tom Waits

Au revoir!

P.S. Get yours here...

Free Time Travel to 1993!


Bonjour! Salut! Bienvenue!

In our town, we have a Free Magazine Rack. What's a Free Magazine Rack? A place where people can donate their previously owned magazines for others to enjoy. The range of magazines available is astounding—you can find New Yorkers, In Style, Elle, W, Bazaar, and many more.

Here's the thing—we love magazines. But we can't afford to buy all of the ones we want each month. So we purchase what we can, and we check in at the Free Magazine Rack a few times a week. Most of the magazines are only slightly out of date. But sometimes you find treasures.

This 1993 Vogue is one of our best scores yet. We haven't gone through the whole thing yet, but we're loving "The Year of the Boot." (Doc Martens, riding boots, and Chanel's moon boots were in.)

Why not consider creating a Free Magazine Rack in your town? You could ask a local library, community center, neighborhood coffee shop, or even your favorite thrift store to host a shelf for trading. Then let the good karma of thrifty fashion kick in.

Au revoir!
