Style Icon: Agyness Deyn

You don't have to be around for gillions of years to solidify your standing as a style icon. Perfect example: Agyness Deyn. Homegirl has been the 'it' girl on the scene for a few years now. Born in London in 1983, the blonde hair, blue eyed beauty already has graced the cover of The Sunday Times Style, Pop, Grazia, Time Style & Life, and Vogue Italia. At only 26, we are inspired by people like Agyness! Pink Slip loves go-getters! Also, look at the list of people she has worked for or with:
Ana Sui, Paul Smith, Reebok and Vivienne Westwood, she is the face of the new fragrance The Beat by Burberry, Gold by Giles Deacon, Jean Paul Gautier's fragrance Ma Dame, Shiseido, and House Of Holland.

But what we love most is her ability to be a chameleon and have so many different looks for her personal style. Check it out!:

Things We Love: Moms!!!

It's Mother's Day at PSDB !! We know there have been a great number of amazing moms in the history of the world, but we're pretty fond of our own madres. When thinking of a gift for our moms, we came across this funny list from yahoo.



"A new apron
Does mom really need a reminder of how much time she spends cleaning the house? Instead, send her away to a spa for the morning while you do the cleaning up!

A Snuggie
Haven't we all agreed that the Snuggie is not cool? If you want your mom or wife to feel warm and cozy, try finding a super comfortable quilt that she can share on a picnic, at a ball game, or watching the sunset on a date night with hubby.

Clothes in the wrong size
Even if you have a smooth sense of style, getting mom clothes in the wrong size has always been a huge gift-giving no-no. Just sneak a peek at the tags on her clothes for sizes and make sure to go to the same store as the tags you looked at!


Nothing
Dads, this message is for you. Just because, you know, she's not your mom (she's only helping you raise your beautiful kids), doesn't mean you should forget her on this special day. Have a heart and show your lady how much you adore her and how you appreciate the amazing job she's doing as a mom. "


So, be sure to get your mom something she is going to LOVE this year because she probably deserves it.

Pink Slip Trend Alert: Watercolor Prints

Watercolor prints are huge for this spring...and we are totally loving it! Apart from its visual merits, what's great about this trend is that they are totally timeless...like art!









You can do a million different looks with just one of these dresses. You can kept these in your closet for years and people will constantly be impressed with how stylish you are.

Things we love: Mail

There is something really wonderful and romantic about getting a card in the mail. It gets depressing when the only people who want to contact you are bill collectors, Publisher's Clearning House (I may already be a winner!), and the new Chinese restaurant up the street.

When you check the mail you always open the handwritten envelopes first. Is is an invitation so some rad party, a very belated birthday check from grandma, or a some sort of secret admirer? The possibilities are endless! In today’s world of computers and emails, taking the time to write a personal note makes the the simplest gesture super special.

There are some really beautiful stationary designs available. We love the Kate Spade collection! They are really simple designs and bring a lot of elegance to your letter.

Stationary is also a really wonderful option for wedding favors. You can tell everyone to write you a letter about how great your dress was!

New!!!

Guess What!

Pink Slip: Prom Check List

Prom is just around the corner! Hopefully you are super excited about your big night!
Pink Slip knows that there are a ton of things to think about in the last few days leading up to the Prom. We want to ensure that your night is as fabulous as possible, so we have compiled some tips to help.

Check List:

Your Dress
Hopefully you have your dress by now! If not, contact Pink Slip (info@pinkslipboutique.com) for you last minute dress needs. We will call it a fashion emergency and be at your house in 2.2 seconds!

Do you have your dress, but it looking a little flat from the garment bag? Let us steam it out! Email us and we'll re-steam your dress so it's perfect for the Prom. DO NOT, we stress at the top of our lungs, do not Iron your prom dress.... otherwise you'll be visiting Problem City: Population You!

Your Dates Tux
Now, it is definitely not your responsibility to take care of your dates tux, but we all know how silly boys can be, so you might want to check in and make sure everything is set. We bet if you call his mother she would have a better idea of whats going on.

Flowers
Did you and your date talk about flowers? Decide what kind and color and put your orders in ASAP. Flower shops are so busy on these days and you want to make sure you get exactly what you want!

Accessories
You really do not want to over accessorize your dress but adding a piece here and there will help to give your dress 'a look'. Let's face it, everyone can put on a pretty ball gown, or a sleek dress, but do your accessories help you stand out? If you need help creating your entire look for the prom, let us know. We have massive experience in fashion styling we want to make sure your look is unique for the dance. We also have ton of cute jewels, let us know if you need anything!

Shoes
Now, we're huge fans of the heel, but we're no Carrie Bradshaw. We know that after a few hours, our feet are on the verge of hating us for eternity. Make sure you bring along a nice pair of comfortable flats or flip flops to change into. You want to make sure you remember the night forever, not the aching blisters on your freshly manicured toes.

Also, wear your heels around the house prior to your prom. Now you will have that whole 'new shoe break-in' period taken care of.

Hair and Nails
Have a good idea of what you'd like done for your prom look. We suggest you try calling Planet Color (and ask for Kristen!) - This salon is young, fun, and they will go the extra mile to make sure you have the perfect hair. Contact the salon for your hair appointment at
(708) 479-8966.

Don't forget to wear a button up shirt when you make it to your appointment - you don't want to have to go ruining the 'do before anyone gets to see it- you also don't want to end up with a small birds nest on your head.

Your Purse
Since we know you're not carrying your everyday purse that basically fits the entire contents of your closet with you to the dance, be smart about what items you're stuffing in your clutch. Money, ID, a few touch up pieces of your make-up, camera, and your student I.D. if necessary, should be perfect.

Reservations
Do you have all of your reservations ready and confirmed? Limo, Dinner, etc.? Also, do you have your after prom plans prepared? Make sure you give these places a call just to confirm. You want everything to run as smooth as possible. Also, clear these plans with the parentals. You don't want any surprise "I DON'T THINK SO'S" on the night of prom when you tell your parents you'll see them on Monday.

Rest
It's really important to get enough rest before the big day because, trust us, it's a long, but incredibly fun and exciting day! Don't do anything silly like run a marathon, or go bowling. These activities might cause you major fatigue. Chill out and watch a movie instead. On Demand has never sounded so great. Drink plenty of water the week before the special day - your skin will look amazing! Also, eat sensibly. Go for light and filling meals - salads, proteins, these will be great for your energy on the day of the dance.

Now, you're all set! These tips will help make sure that you have the best and most memorable prom ever! If you've checked everything off on the list then you can feel confident that there will be no bumps in the road. We tell you these tips because we care, and we definitely don't want you having one of those prom moments that ends up on the 'I'm So Embarrassed!' pages of Vogue!
