apps we love: vine.


Obsessed with instagram. Check. 
Amused by stupid iPhone videos. Check. 
Just found another major time suck via yet another social channel. Check Check. 

Vine just launched a week or so ago and is catching on like wildfire. It was launched by Twitter and allows users to catalogue and share six second videos + sound - think of it like an animated instagram feed. It requires no editing or filtering, just six seconds of your choosing, with optional cutting and starting with just a fingertip. This might just be the flavor of the week, but I'm already getting addicted. 
I love that it pushes the boundaries on the level of creative social sharing, and showcases people's weirdness on a whole new level. Follow me @ House of Bentley. Happy Vining ya'll.

swag your tech.


Have you ever taken a moment to stop and look at how as a chick our accessories are so much more complex than they used to be? Like most of you, I'm a constant plugged-in swarm of i-everything. So why not treat your gadgets with the same stylish respect as the rest of your necessities? Considering how much time we spend graming, texting, jamming out and online shopping - it's well worth a stylish little investment for some gadget swag.

CHANEL Spring 2013 Haute Couture



I love that big time brands - even the iconic Chanel - are embracing social and making their runway so accessible to the masses who aren't VIP at NYFW. Burberry started the trend, and now Chanel is sharing their exclusive runway shows - which totally made my Saturday morning. Their 2013 Spring-Summer show was very unconventionally placed in a scene stole from mother nature. The looks are simply stunning, and expectedly parisian chic. But, what I really adore about Chanel is the total wearability and effortlessness of every piece. It's worth the 17 minute watch. 

spoiler alert: there's a lot of tweed.

on the record | Jessie Ware




I've been obsessed with this track below lately - and pretty much everything Jessie Ware does. She has not only an amazing voice and talent for beats but also has such a distinct vintage glamour that I simply love. For more on Jessie, check out this recent interview.

klutz-proof cat eye.



I'm a huge fan of the cat eye trend, and having tried it time and time again, I just can't seem to pull of the annoyingly perfect curve of a line popping up everywhere. Coordination has never been my strong suit. That's why learning this new trick from Refinery29 made me jump for jollies. Tiffany Patton, a NYC based makeup artist shows you how to rock the cat eye using a simple black eyeliner pencil, a q-tip and a dab of cream (she uses MAC fast response eye cream, but I use Benefit "It's Potent" eye cream and found it worked just as well).

{One extra tip is to do this before you apply your foundation powder as the cream can create unevenness in your skin makeup. Another option is to use a small brush to lightly re-apply powder around the corner of the eye to create a cleanness around the liner.}

For the less liquid-pen-challenged, I've tried these pictured above with some luck,
and if you have the time and precision they work wonders.
Stila is by far the easiest to apply and control, with Chanel taking a close second.
