THINK PINK
There isn't a designer better suited for the job of partnering with MGM and Columbia Studios to promote "Pink Panther 2" than Thomas Pink. The brand treats us with cuff links, double-cuff shirts, socks and boxers paying homage to the iconic character in February. Now you can paint the town pink. Thomas Pink Pink Panther socks, $30, and tie, $100, Thomas Pink stores
HEADS UP
Real fashion plates will tell you accessorizing is an art form. Claudia Griffiths, local hair accessories designer, would like to help you master the art with her line, Claudia's Bowtique. Every piece is ultra feminine, flirty and fashionable -- everything a woman wants in an accoutrement. Claudia's Bowtique gold flower barrette, $20, Grimm's Boutique at Trails Village Center
GOOD SPORT
Your friends at Fila would like to pull you out of that raggedy sweat suit you've been wearing for workouts. Instead, they'd like you to fuse fashion and function with your workout gear. The spring lineup for its Personal Performance line is largely eco-friendly so you can do your body and environment right at the same time. Fila Personal Performance all over printed cami, $60, Dick's Sporting Goods
HANDS OF TIME
They say a woman's hands are just as reliable an age source as her birth certificate. Essie would like to help you keep them in fine shape. Its new eucalyptus-infused Naturally Clean line features purifying hand wash, hand treatment and nail polish remover -- that simultaneously moisturizes nails -- is just the arsenal you need to keep 'em guessing about your age. Naturally Clean products by Essie, $7-$25, Sephora
