It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
When it comes to makeup, “shimmer” is a scary word. Okay, there was a time in my life when I would have raved about shimmer eye shadow and called it indispensable. But I would have said the same thing about Blow Pops. Now that I’m in my 30s, I’m cultivating a more sophisticated style, and…
At the LA Makeup Show last weekend, one thing was clear: mineral makeup is more than a fad. It’s already taken over a significant share of the market, and all signs indicate that it will keep growing. So what’s the big deal? Well, traditionally makeup contains some type of petroleum dye, which is what gives…
Sample Sale sites are amazing ways to access health, beauty, fashion and lifestyle items that normally would be out of our (okay, my) reach, and they’re priced to make these luxuries an easy and fun way to add some more glam and style to your lifestyle. Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing with…
I attended the LA Makeup Show last weekend, which was a great experience. Imagine Sephora with no rules, and you’ll have a good picture of the size of the event and the number of cool items available. Naturally, I have a lot to share about specific trends, but at the moment I want to focus…
All of you accessory lovers are in luck! Starting at 12pm EST, Kate Spade will be available for sale on Gilt Groupe. I’m not sure of the different options they’ll be offering on this sale (Kate Spade makes everything from clothes to handbags, sunglasses to shoes), but they’ve got two different sale sections listed… so…
Whoopi Goldberg Leaks News on Great Women in History New Webisode Series and Campaign from Poise Brand Address Light Bladder Leakage It’s never easy to hold in laughter, but a survey shows that half of women with light bladder leakage (LBL) are trying to do just that. The Poise brand says let them laugh, with…
Well, I can go ahead and slack off for the rest of 2010 because I have already had a fabulous experience. I recently attended the Discovery Communications 25th anniversary gala, where I saw many familiar faces from the Discovery networks. Everyone from the Pitmasters to the stars of Little People, Big World were wandering about- snacking…
I love how fun and whimsical this outfit is. It’s childish but still so flattering… and yes, I probably am reading a lot into such a basic look. Oh well! I’ve pulled together some great options for how to make this look yours for the Spring. Let’s check it out! Anlo Lucy Denim Shorts (on…
Sure, staring at runway shots is fun, but when it comes to turning that into a real life outfit? Not so easy. That’s where “Runway to Real Way” comes in! We’ll take one outfit and recreate it (or something like it… because not everything on the runway is wearable for everyday life), offering you a…
Any pesky names still stubbornly lingering on your gift list? Chances are they belong to your toughest, most-impossible-to-buy-for friends and family. Yes, you could dash out to the mall, but if inspiration hasn’t struck you yet, you know it’s not showing up while you fight other last-minute shoppers for picked-over merchandise. Instead, consider making a charitable…

A wise lady once told me that you should always keep a good funeral dress tucked away in your closet- something unadorned, classic, and elegant. I recently had occasion to remember this when my husband and I received one of those horrible, hateful early morning phone calls. Fortunately, the size and scope of my black…
How to Get Through the HolidaysWithout the D Word Coming Back to Haunt You The “D” word you say? Why, whatever could that be? Dysfuntion? Well, of course, not. Dysfunction never shows up around the holidays! It especially never shows up if your mother-in-law is present. Mother-in-laws, after all, are experts in every field, including the field of…
Ever been annoyed by the straps on your handbag slipping right off your shoulder? How many times have you been carrying too much to handle only to have your bag or your purse strap slip off your shoulder and down to the crook of your elbow? Or those days when you are wearing a bulky…
You know how people often have little, out-of-character tastes that surprise you? Well, here’s mine: I love fur. LOVE. It’s weird because I am irritatingly responsible (even when it comes to fashion!), and fur doesn’t exactly scream “responsibility.” But something about it makes me want to throw all those good girl instincts to the wind. …
It’s no secret… I’m completely obsessed with shoes. I just realized this last weekend that I got 11 new pairs of shoes in August. I’m pretty sure I need a 12 step program… And since I wasn’t able to fit Fashion Week NYC into my schedule this time around, I decided to have a little…
