Since 1998, celebrity and fashion manicurist Deborah Lippmann has been the go-to nail gal for the most renowned magazines like Vogue and InStyle, and fashion houses like Versace, Balenciaga, Zac Posen and Donna Karan. Over the years, Lippmann has continued to wow us with her eponymous line of luxury nail polish. This season we’re recommending (and secretly pining for) the Deborah Lippmann ‘Dance Music’ Holiday Mini Trio, a Nordstrom exclusive. We immediately fell in love with this trio of sparkly shades, including “Just Dance” – a brilliant glittery aqua...  Read More..

The hottest tech accessory of the moment is without a doubt, the iPad. And whenever Apple launches a product, our favorite fashion designers quickly scramble to create an accessory for it.

And yes, some of these cases cost even more than the iPad but hey, sometimes that’s what accessorizing is all about.
