Kimberly Kimble is a third-generation hair stylist to the mega-celebrity likes of Beyonce and Mary J. Blige. While she trained in multiple locations, including the Vidal Sassoon Academy and Dudley Cosmetology University in North Carolina, her innate artistry shines through everything she does and how she speaks about the importance of healthy hair maintenance.
Kimble firmly believes that regardless of someone’s budget, health and glamorous hair is attainable, which is why she has created quick and easy style tips, video blogs and a list of recommended products that retail for an affordable price. Not only that, but she has also created her very own line of hair care and hair care accessories, Kimble Hair Care, most of which retail for no more than $12.99. That makes me incredibly happy.
Kimberly Kimble has made quite the name for herself in the beauty and style world. She has come to the rescue of many celebrities, but we all know that experts are a lot more fun when we get to hear all about their work and also how they have fun with it, straight from that person’s mouth.

F&W Style is a new luxury handbag line designed by Alexandria Alli, a second generation designer who, as a child, traveled the world and was influenced greatly by the many colors and patterns of nature that she was exposed to. Later in life she used that same inspiration to hone her design aesthetic and create a line of luxury handbags featuring snake and crocodile embossed detail and soft Italian leathers.
F&W Style’s fall collection consists of the natural patterned colors of burnt orange, winter white, perfect black, honey brown and caramel tan. The collection is presented within three personalities–Lola, Nikki and Raven. Every one of their handbags is accented with wild textured leathers, gold and silver tone hardware, F&W Style’s signature hot pink interior and a functional key holder.
Lola is a classy and sophisticated group of three handbags, a clutch, a petite hobo and a full-size hobo bag. Nikki is a collection of three satchel bags, two crocodile embossed, that go from day to night seamlessly. Raven is a collection of two totes and two tote toos that are both unique and gorgeous.
Designer Alexandria Alli and her team researched the current luxury handbag market and discovered a void where every day women could pick up fabulous handbags at an attainable price. While F&W Style handbags do not carry a price tag that could rival Target, they are significantly cheaper than most luxury items we’re seeing. F&W Style handbags are priced from as low as $195 to $290 and are available online as well as in select locations.
Check out the preview of F&W Style handbags below:
We have probably all seen Lady Gaga’s video for her song Bad Romance. It has over 240 million views on YouTube and it’s still racking up the views. While the video came out back in November of 2009, people are still pretty obsessed with it, and more specifically, her great big, cartoon-like eyes from the bath tub scene of the video.
Lady Gaga’s eyes in the Bad Romance video are computer generated. They were not simply made from makeup tricks, yet that isn’t stopping people from trying to achieve the look on their own.
There is a certain type of contact lens called circle lens that covers part of the white area of the eye and replaces it with a small, darker ring that extends further than the where the iris normally ends. The end result is your eyes look much larger and with a little makeup, white eye liner and some fake eyelashes, people have recreated the Lady Gaga Bad Romance look.
Circle lenses are already very well-known in Korea, but are gaining more and more attention in the US, where it is illegal to purchase contact lenses without a prescription. That isn’t stopping people from purchasing them from websites who are shipping the lenses to the US regardless of the fact that it is illegal for them to do so. But that isn’t the dangerous part about these contacts.
CBS Medical Corresponded Dr. Jennifer Ashton has weighed in on the dangers of circle lenses, saying that because someone is not getting fitted for the lenses by a doctor, they are either too loose or too tight on the wearer. This can cause some pretty serious infections and also scratched corneas. In some cases, it has been said that these infections can even lead to blindness.
While news of the potential dangers these contact lenses pose for the people who wear them is just receiving a great deal of attention, there are many tutorials on how to apply them and do your makeup to make your eyes look cartoon-like on YouTube. The most popular has nearly 10 million views, which I find pretty troubling.
While new trends are always popping up all over the place as soon as a big enough celebrity wears something, this trend could lead to a potentially serious condition. Blindness is no joke, even if there is a very small chance of actually going blind after developing an infection because of these contact lenses, it isn’t worth it. I just don’t think that putting yourself at risk to go blind is something worth doing as part of a fashion trend that will most likely not exist in a matter of months.

Who do you know that wears a watch anymore? I have been seeing a definite lack of watches being toted around on the wrists of just about everyone. At one point, everyone wore a watch, regardless of where they lived or what kind of job they had or what kind of lifestyle they lived. Things are different now, though; when someone needs to check the time, they just whip out their cell phone or Blackberry–and what’s wrong with that, right? Time has progressed and we have since been introduced to some great technology that has advanced (or as some would call it, taken over) our day-to-day lives, leaving some things obsolete.
Right?
Well, not exactly. How many people have passed down their grandfather and great-grandfather’s pocket watches to their younger generations or have given their husband or son a really beautiful watch for an anniversary, birthday, or graduation gift? Timepieces of all kinds have not only been easy (and don’t forget fashionable) ways of checking the time when you’re running errands or have to get your kids to a social event on time, but they are also really special and important pieces of our family history and are considered great treasures by a great deal of people.
Victorinox Swiss Army is a company dedicated to bringing you greatly-designed, stylish and high-quality wrist watches.
I very much like watches, especially on men. I think they’re sexy and they add a certain professional quality to someone’s look. After looking through the amazing stock over at Victorinox Swiss Army, their collection of classic watches will provide a little stylish something to anyone’s overall appearance, and yes, sexiness, all while adorning a watch that will practically never go out of style.
Do you wear a watch? Head on over to the Facebook IWAW sweepstakes page where you could win your very own Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. There will be 30 winners over 30 days, which is huge, so make sure you don’t miss out!
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way Farm. All opinions are 100% mine.
You may have heard of Ramblers Way and their Rambouillet wool, but the mission and the belief system that goes into their work goes so far beyond what you think you may know about them.
Ramblers Way is a family business with true passion and dedication to what they have built for their lives and business, all while paying homage to America’s rich history as a textile producer. The Rambouillet wool of Ramblers Way is grown on their own sheep farms and ranches that are spread across Maine, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas and Utah. The products Ramblers Way takes great pride in producing are made from only the finest, natural materials available throughout the country and you can be guaranteed that their apparel is non-toxic, naturally-insulating, fire-resistant, odor-absorbing, washable and long-lasting.
What I find truly impressive about Ramblers Way, and what I think you will find equally as impressive is that they have truly re-imagined wool–while inspiring more people to do the same. When most of us think about wool, it’s easy to immediately think about winter weather and bundling up to brave the cold, and most of us stop there. Ramblers Way is spreading the word about all of the great uses wool has and how it can be used nearly year-round.
Ramblers Way has an extensive stock of next-to-skin garments that are uniquely soft and lightweight, making it perfect to wear all day and night, regardless of the temperature outside. This is possible because their garments warm and cool equally, ridding you of the summer mornings where you wake up soaked in sweat because what you went to bed wearing when the temperature was cooler is now way too hot for the summer morning heat.
I am in love with their apparel. It’s simple, but looks amazingly comfortable. I am a huge fan of all-purpose apparel and I like being able to lounge around in something, but if I need to run out or do something very much spur of the moment, it won’t take much but putting on a pair of jeans and some cute shoes to look like I was really dressed all day long. Their next-to-skin scoop neck short sleeve top is one of the items that fits that bill exactly. But they also stock a great deal of other apparel items–like office wear, Long Jane bottoms and even briefs that will make you feel fresh and comfortable all day.
The beliefs held by Ramblers Way are something anyone and everyone can really get behind and more than anything, want to support. Ramblers Way believes in local business and serving a local population before going global and taking over the consumer-ridden world, which I find really admirable. They have also found ways to cut down on their impact on the environment. They run their business with the mindset that it is possible to be financially successful while also behaving socially responsible and in an environmentally sustainable manner. We have a significant loss of companies in this country who believe in staying grounded and remaining humble in all they do; we have even less companies respecting nature and what it can do for their businesses–it is amazing to see a company like Ramblers Way not just boasting these qualities, but living them every day.
If you are amazingly intrigued by Ramblers Way wool, you can get a sample of their superfine Rambouillet wool to experience for yourself before buying anything. That alone shows the amazing dedication Ramblers Way has for their work and the pride they take in what they do. It also shows that they know once you feel their wool, you’ll have to go back for more.
Sexuality is something to be celebrated and explored and we hope to help you do just that with the articles and reviews we publish in our love and sex category.
