Samhain,(Sow – en) fell at the end of October, and for the Celts it was a pretty unnerving time. On Sow-en it was believed that the veil between the real and spiritual worlds was thinnest. Therefore, it would not be unusual to see banshees or sundry spirits of the dead wandering about.

It also marked the Celtic New Year, the day of the end of the summer season, the end of the harvest, … Read More »

Editorial and Style Expert, Lindsay Weiss, tells all the tips on Fall trends and universal fashion guidelines every aspiring fashionista should take note of.

Jeremiah Brent: Designer, Furniture Connoisseur, Perfect Gentleman | October 28, 2011

Jeremiah Brent. What are the first words that come to your mind when you hear that name?

I was a little nervous going into my interview with Jeremiah for obvious reasons. He is my favorite castmate from The Rachel Zoe Project but I’ve heard the horror stories about most celebrities being hard to speak with during interviews. Jeremiah is certainly the exception when it comes to that celebrity stereotype. He has not let his newfound fame get to him by any … Read More »

Kohl’s Introduces Jennifer Lopez | October 27, 2011

Jennifer Lopez is known for almost everything: dancer, singer, actress, restaurant owner, perfume designer, wife, mother of two, and, of course, a clothing designer! After having two clothing lines out already, I honestly did not think this line would be much different than the others. To say I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of wow factor this specific line brought is an understatement.

These pants are high-waisted and so, so soft! I love the vintage feel of them. It’s like I just stepped off a 1940′s glam movie set! This top was also one of my favorites. With most sequin … Read More »
