30% off at Le Train Bleu

Some people have it, some people don't. And some people have it in spades.

Bria, proprietress of Le Train Bleu is one of those people.

Oh sure, Kate Moss, Jemima Khan, Sofia Coppola, Ines de la Fressange, blah, blah, blah. Yes, yes, they're all spectacular. But Bria, well, she shares. Kate has her Top Shop collection, which is but a morsel of Moss. Bria, on the other hand, gives you the whole buffet--exquisite pieces from on-the-cusp designers---it's all too delicious.

This toucan print "Nega" dress by Totem ($162.) is all about sexy shoulder blades. (Don't you love how Bria pairs it with the mint green gladiators?)



One coat for spring? This Heidi Merrick three quarter sleeve "Janie" coat in French Blue ($594.) is the investment piece.




You get the drift. And now you get the discount: Get 30% off Le Train Bleu until March 23rd with code "lucky".

Top Shop Sale

Ever since Top Shop opened their virtual doors to U.S. shoppers, Anglophiles, ex-pats and fashion-forward femmes are rejoicing. We can look just like Kate (in our fevered imaginations, anyway) and we can do it for almost no money at all.

But why limit yourself to the sale? Top Shop is all about value! That's why London shoppers mobbed Top Shop this week when the Kate Moss Christmas Collection was unveiled:

Total for everything here? A little over $2300. Not bad. In love with Kate's Galliano-inspired gowns...

Butter London

I tend to get stuck in a rut when it comes to nail polish. I might experiment with a new shade or two, but I always come back to the same three choices: OPI Mother Road Rose, Essie Ballet Slippers and a red from Chanel.

Mauve. Pink. Red. I'm. Every. Woman.

Actually, I'm not in much of a rut lately, since I stopped wearing nail polish altogether. Too many visits to Whole Foods finally convinced me that what you put on your body can have as much of an impact as what you put in your body. ( I gave this a lot of thought as I was eating my chocolate-covered Goji berries. ) And since most nail polish is made with formaldehyde (that's right, embalming fluid) and a ton of other toxins, it didn't seem worth it.

Sure, there are a couple of formaldehyde-free lines out there, but none of them did it for me.

Until now.

Butter London is non-toxic nail care with a British accent. It's simply brilliant. Their "3 Free Lacquers" are free of formaldehyde, toluene and DBP---nasty stuff. The lacquers are heavily pigmented, so the colors are deeper, richer and more vibrant.

And what colors! The butter London palette is the perfect combination of chic and cheek.

La Moss, $12. "Vampy and full of red wine, just like its inspiration."

Bezzie Mate, $12. "This colour will remind you of a night in with the girls, gossiping, giggling and enjoying an intense burst of fuschia pink."

Diamond Geezer, $12. "Proper platinum, silvery and shiny. It's finger-bling that sparkles like the real thing, but doesn't cost it!"

I'm officially obsessed.

You can find the bestselling shades of butter London at Beauty Intuition. And you can save 15% on your purchase with coupon code toutie.

Me, I'm gonna get 'em all---Come to Bed Red, Diamond Geezer, London Underground, Queen Vic, Royal Ballet, La Moss and Bezzie Mate.

Seems a shame they don't have Chocolate Covered Goji Berry Binge, though.
