Dear Girlfriends,

Don’t just get your winter wardrobe in gear, glam up your nails!  Serena Williams, tennis player and fashion icon, has teamed up with Suzi of OPI to create a duo of new shades.

Serena says, “Everyone knows that I’ve always loved fashion and design, but they might not know that I’m manic about my nails.  That’s why I’m super excited to partner with OPI to create my Glam Slam Collection.  And on top of that, I am well on my way to receiving my nail technician license.  Working with OPI is really a dream come true.”

OPI-Serena-Williams-Glam-Slam-Collection

OPI-Simply-Smashing-Black-Shatter-swatches

Arriving just in time for the Australian Open, Glam Slam Australia includes Simply Smashing, a shimmering gold-green lacquer, and Black Shatter, a revolutionary new color that creates a “shattered” effect when applied over dry lacquer.

Try the shades together for a smashing hot look that’s fierce and fashionable-just like Serena.

Until the next style adventure,

Monica

Dear Fashionistas:

I’ve been wearing dresses this whole summer and I wanted to share my love for dresses with you! Dresses are perfect for dancing in the summer heat, will give you a fun and flirty edge! Dresses are elegant, sophisticated, and flattering; don’t you agree?!

If you are heading to the grocery store on a Saturday morning after yoga, wear a fun loose-fitting smock dress, then to an outing with your gal pals you can wear a lightweight dress that is perfect for summertime! Later on in the evening, a flattering evening with “your guy” wear a textured metallic dress. Any of these dresses for a relaxing and chic Saturday evening is guaranteed to make you shine!

Until the next adventure,
