Hopefully we can get going again soon, but in the meantime it's best to wait until quality, thoughtful content can be once again ensured.

The packing. The planning. The paying-for-it part. But I think that trying to find a new apartment to rent in New York City (hence the photo -- nice, right?) is actually the hardest -- much less when, like me, this also involves locating a new roommate via such glorious devices as Craigslist. It also involves so much paperwork.

You just rub them on with a little wooden stick and they're supposed to stay in place until you take it off with nail polish remover.

In case you're wondering, the color is "Digital" from Sally Hansen's H-D Hi-Definition line: This week, I changed it up and I'm now wearing a boringly named "118A" shade from cheapy brand NYC: Next up will be a review of the new Sally Hansen Salon Effects press-on nail polish strips, so let's see how http://style-bard.blogspot.com/2011/05/nail-polish-update.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Style Bard)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24419444.post-3219621747122420223Sun, 01 May 2011 05:17:00 +00002011-05-01T00:17:00.789-05:00About five years ago, I got my first grown-up jewelry box from my mother: Now, it's pretty much overflowing and I have two separate jewelry boxes on the side. But I realized that I still have absolutely nowhere to keep my new huge ring, so I feel like it's about time I graduated to a larger and more organized jewelry box.

You’d think that someone endeavoring on this very special experience for the first time would need some kind of good reason, right? Am I seeing someone special or about to book a cruise to the Bahamas? Nope.

I anticipate an unexpected deluge of nautical-themed outfits and accessories this spring, actually--so mark it, NYC. If it happens, Style Bard prophesied it here first.

And I can't wait until it gets here. My only concern is that it didn't ever ask me for a size, hmmm. I hope my fingers are somewhat average in width, if there is such a thing? What is it with me and animal jewelry lately? I already have one elephant ring in gold, so I can't wait to add this one to my collection.http://style-bard.blogspot.com/2011/04/love-want-need-elephant-ring.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Style Bard)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24419444.post-2986383919953081345Mon, 11 Apr 2011 03:41:00 +00002011-04-10T22:41:41.892-05:00I got a ton of new beauty products to play with recently!

Each coil is meticulously handcrafted to sit perfectly on the forearm, set in pink-gold with over 200 diamonds.
