Don’t Neglect Your Décolleté | January 31, 2012

During the colder months, when you are likely wearing turtleneck sweaters and high necked blouses anyway, is a great time to address the delicate skin on your chest area, know as the décolleté. Often it can show the same signs of living every day life as your face: fine lines or actual wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dark spots or dryness. The colder months are prime time to treat the area so you are looking good for spring dresses and tops that show off more of your upper body!

Many of the ground-breaking ingredients used in facial care are also available to … Read More »

Let’s take a look at what we have in store, or online, as the case may be, in the way of eye catching colors for fingers and toes.

The launch of Topshop makeup and the new store in Chicago brings us the stunning nail shade, Windy City. … Read More »

Fashion and Beauty Interest Already Emerging After ‘One Day’ | August 23, 2011

Based on the international best-selling novel by David Nichols, One Day, starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, premiered in theaters last Friday on August 19, 2011.  Although weekend box office stats can not be completely determined until Monday afternoon, by Saturday there were already indicators that One Day was not going to meet the expectations of movie critics and its producer, Focus Features.  It ranked fourth at the box office among competing Friday released films, Spy Kids: All the Time in the World taking first — more than doubling One Day‘s gross earnings (see boxofficemojo.com for complete weekend box office stats).

Whadda Stud! | August 15, 2011

Move aside Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey and the Old Spice guy…there’s a new stud in town. He’s slick, shiny and hard – colorful, too – and maybe a little naughty. He’s…AN EARRING?? Haha, betcha didn’t see that coming. Or maybe, knowing me, you did.

A stud earring is very similar to a studly guy: handsome, versatile and easy to wear…um, you know what I mean! Before I get myself in hot water, here’s are some of my picks for Sexiest Stud Alive.

Tips For Beauty And Wellness On A Budget | April 5, 2011

Tiffany Fluhme, CEO of Fluhme Beauty, and plastic surgery physician assistant, doesn’t believe women have to deny themselves to help balance the checkbook.

Breaking Free From Daily Denim | February 25, 2011

A peek at any street from Los Angeles to Palm Beach shows that, no matter the neighborhood, denim is the standard uniform for many.
