    Who’s that Olsen?

    Olsen sisters

    They’re calling her the IT Girl of this year’s Sundance Festival, debuting two films in the festival; ‘Silent House’ & ‘Martha Marcy May Marlene’. Younger sister of Mary Kate & Ashley, Elizabeth Olsen has fallen out of what seems like no nowhere… but is making big news. Currently studying at NYU, the theater major is also breaking into the industry with roles uncommon to the ‘new’ Hollywood actress.  The highly talked about Martha Marcy May Marlene is a psychological thriller about a young woman trying to escape the life and memories of a cult. In Silent House, Olsen plays the role of a young woman who is taken prisoner in her family’s haunted house.

    SOOS Rocks Jewelry

    Toronto-based accessory line, SOOS Rocks Jewelry has just launched their newest jewellery collection for women, L’Amour – inspired by timeless romance, the power of friendship, and real-life fairy tales.  Timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day, the collection is not just for your sweetheart, but are gifts for everyone in your life who mean something special to you.  “We wanted to create a collection that transcends Valentine’s Day and captures the authenticity of love,” says co-owner/designer Jane Dallin.

    Before creating the collection, the SOOS Rocks design team of Dallin and Bryn Nihillasked themselves what their definition of love was: “Love is said to be the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection,” explains Dallin on their consensus.

    The collection of necklaces, bracelets and earrings feature various keepsake pieces, including keys, lockets, and heart-shaped gem stones. It is currently available online at soosrocks.com and will be available in boutiques as of February 1, 2011.  Prices range from $22.00 – $45.00 CDN.

    OPI Shatter

    @DenizReno

    I was so excited to try the new OPI Shatter nail polish after seeing it in Teen Vogue and everywhere online… You over lay this on top of any color and as it dries, it separates and shrinks to make this turtle-crackle pattern. Serena Williams and Katy Perry are the endorsers of this collection. I though it would be fun to try. Those who know me know that chipped nail polish is my biggest nightmare and I am known to have sent girls home at work who have chipped nails. This looks so unique and I think I can live with it.

    What do you think?

    Here is mine!  Word on the street is if you buy liquid latex it does the exact same trick.

    (SPBR) Extra

    One of the readers emailed me this week and said, I can’t have a dog but how can I help?  This is a reality for many people. There are tons of ways you can help rescue animlas even if you cannot actually own a dog!  Here are some ways I thought of!

    1. Get some stuff! – Calendars, cookbooks, water bottles, stickers…

     2. Wear something with a message – http://www.forever21.com/ Charity Shop

    3. Tell your friends! http://www.petfinder.com/
