Think Pink: Breast Cancer Awareness Month
I am little late, since October is almost over, but I would be amiss if I didn’t talk some terrific products that benefit breast cancer research or celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month by being “pink.” Donations to the American Cancer Society funds research for breast cancer studies and programs. Susan B Komen’s Race for the […]
What I’m Loving Now…
It’s fall, and for me that is a difficult time of year! It’s getting cooler, but it’s still not cold enough to wear a winter coat. I have a few fall coats such as a trench coat and a rain coat, but I often don’t want to wear them. If you feel the same way, […]
Travel Must Haves!
I recently came back from a long trip … to Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Berlin, Germany. It had been two years since our last long trip, and this time I decided to share some of my favorite travel items. Only a few are beauty or fashion related! 1. Wisps: Made my Colgate, this tiny toothbrush has […]
Makeup for the seasons
When you shop for makeup, department stores like to sell you new colors for the season. I have to agree with them: you should change up your makeup for different times of the year. Through the summer, you probably wore less makeup, relied on tinted moisturizer, bronzer and tinted lip balm. You were wearing your […]
What investment for the fall?
I was reading one of Glamour’s fashion blogs the other day, and I read something I thought was great: So I am borrowing the idea. A reader had asked, what is one investment I should consider making for my fall wardrobe? The author said, “a leather jacket.” I wholeheartedly agree. The dilemma is finding the […]
What is your Web Strategy?
With clothes shopping, the Internet has changed the equation in many ways. For one, it’s now possible if your store is out of your size and color, you or the store can go online and often find the item and have it shipped to you. Or, if it’s a name brand, just research it online […]
Baby’s Got Blue Eyes!
Saphire and Cobalt blue seem to be all the rage this summer season, as is navy. What I love about these colors is that they flatter virtually everyone. I love the bright cheery tones! I also like to add blue or even touches of teal to my makeup, especially my eye makeup. Most ladies are […]
Juniors, Kid’s Dept Shoppers: It’s Okay!
I recently read a story about Bethany Frankel tweeting a photo of herself wearing her 4-year-old daughter’s Hello, Kitty PJs. They fit her perfectly. The public screamed their criticism of Bethany’s ultra thin shape–that fit into children’s wear. While I am not going to pass judgment on her, I will readily admit to this: I […]
Class Reunion: Proceed with Caution!
I just watched a TV show talking about what to wear to your class reunion. It was fun! The number one rule: Don’t dress in the era you remember. For instance, if you went to high school in the 1980s, don’t dress like Madonna! (Yes, it might have been a great look for you when […]
When Casual is Not Chic!
A couple years ago, we were waiting at the airport to fly home from Paris. It was mid-morning. As I stood in line to check in, I noticed a cute little family huddled in the corner. They looked very French as well as sleepy, slow moving, and yes, very casual. The children (probably preteen age) […]
