Here & Now

He Nose Best

Professional skateboarder Kenny Anderson hails from Vegas and has settled in L.A. He knows the commute well, but he's never made the trip while in a nose manual skate pose. He attempts the feat in a new "L.A. to Vegas" ad campaign to promote his Converse KA-ONE shoe, "crafted for today's skater." Converse KA-ONE sneaker, $60, Converse

Ring it In

A piece of jewelry doesn't have to be huge to make a statement. These Ariella rings won't weigh down your fingers, yet they manage to leave a lasting impression. The colored crystals and textured metals have a modest charm about them. Leave the loud jewelry to the attention-starved. Ariella rings, $68 each, Nordstrom

Shoes Wisely

Aren't they lovely? A tall platform wedge has a special way of making you feel like the sky-high heels you're wearing are actually comfortable. And, the color blocking look is executed in all neutrals so the play-it-safe types can get a piece of this trend. The price is even more reason to swoon.

Pet Project

You're not the only one with beauty needs. The furry four-legged members of your household could use a little primping, too. You can take care of both in a single trip to Ulta, where John Paul Pet products are sold. The co-founder of Paul Mitchell provides salon-quality shampoo, conditioner and a grooming brush in these kits. John Paul Pet grooming pack, $27, Ulta
