We are proud to announce our new line of contemporary jewelry from Israeli creators Orna & Rinat of OR Jewelry that will be gracing the pages of LoveTNT the first week in August 2010.
Founded by lifelong friends Orna and Rinat, OR's unique designs draw many of their features from the word "Or's" various meanings. It is French for "gold". In
the Kabbalah it is used to describe something which is good and pure. And staying true to the Hebrew meaning of "light", OR's designs light up
every one who wears them.
OR design ethos is as vast and varied as its customers. An amazing ability to create designs from street fashion to haute couture has kept OR at the top of its game. While being influenced and inspired by many cultures and moving facets of trends the OR signature is always present. All OR's designs are hand-made with the highest quality materials including unique
European crystal stones, Swarovski gems, and top quality
leather and speci...

Unless you are colour blind, you can't help but notice that
bright and bold hues are center stage in this season's nail color
palette. Ranging from rustic roses to unapologetic purples, everyone
from Chanel, to OPI, to NARS are picking up on the spring's flirty vibe.
Here at LoveTNT, we feel the only thing to make our "Not Your Mother's Diamond Ring"
look even better is a manicure flaunting your favorite sassy style.
Our only advice to you is go big or go home, as the pasty pales of
season's past are no longer upon us.
Our top picks featured above:
Deborah Lippman, "Happy Birthday": $18
Nars, "Purple Rain": $16
And the critically acclaimed Chanel, "Nouvelle Vague", "Riviera", "Mistral": Retails $23
*Side note: Chanel's runway
nail colors have become almost as anticipated as the actual fashions
themselves. Be prepared to go on the hunt for your favorite hue or pay
a premium on e-bay. Consider this your warning.

While taking in the latest posts of our favorite fashion/lifestyle blogs in came to my attention that my current "numero uno" is written by local Portland fashion vixen, Kristin Reiter. As stated earlier, we are thrilled to promote anything local, thus we feel the need to share our love for BleachBlack.com, a self proclaimed "conversational fashion diary." Not only do we go ga-ga over their whimsy boho-meets grunge gal-meets fearless fashionista sensibility - but rarely leave the site without a bit of funky inspiration. Be it their favorite fashion item of the week or a quirky DIY idea, BleachBlack is certainly a fabulous place to "waste" some time online. We can only hope to be featured on their long list of favorites one day.
Check it out and let us know what you think!

During one of my more fruitful internet scavenger hunts…The ones I take when craving something completely out of the ordinary, fresh, unusual…I came across the seriously chic vintage shop, American Archive.
Their inventory of unique vintage wares are stunning and oh-so vintage NOW. With finds from the 1940’s on, there is no shortage of fine sequined flapper and 1970’s floral boho dresses. And since the e-shop is powered by eBay, prices are set but you, the shopper (*for most items). The buyers at American Archive are clearly in the know and are giving us hungry vintage lovers exactly what we want.
But what really sets this store apart is the attentive merchandising of every piece up for grabs. AA happens to make their looks modern while maintaining the ultimate vintage vibe…A trend I know almost every fashionista shoots for every once in a while. American Archive has found their way to the top of our fashion bookmarks.

As I am sure many of you know by now Portland native, Seth Aaron, has been the second “City of Roses” Project Runway winner in the past 3 years. As a P-Town based company ourselves, we couldn’t be happier! While Portland is becoming known as a budding scene for up and coming fashion designers, no one could have expected Heidi Klum’s Project Runway empire to embrace our west coast vibe with such open arms.
I thought I would share with our readers Portland’s own Examnier Magazine interview with the new sensation Seth Aaron. Congrats to Seth on the win. Your Portland peeps are very proud and honored to have you as one of our own. Bravo! (or shall we say, Lifetime!?…no, that doesn’t work).

Last season we saw many of our favorite designers adopt the iconic Chanel quilted leather look in an attempt to make it all their own. This season’s collections are no exception. With bright hues and rich browns showing strong on the runways, the options are endless when it comes to choosing you favorite quilted piece of the Spring. Look for unique hardware, longer straps, wide use of chain detail and a plethora of color, color, and more COLOR!
At LoveTNT we are die hard fans of Kate Spade’s Gold Coast Lauralee bag ($265) as it combines all our favorite trends into one super sexy bag: metallic quilted leather, long chain strap, and gold metal detailing. What more could we ask for? Oh yes, that’s right, our very own Golden Sparkler Bracelet to add that final hint of sophistication and classic elegance.
