If you’re like me, you look forward every year to the September issues of all the fashion magazines. I still love to read through them and look at the new trends for the season. Certain magazines I could never relate to, however, like Vogue and Bazaar because for one thing, the prices on the clothes…
As you know, I am huge fan of the original Covergirl LashBlast Mascara. If you are a fan too, then you’ll probably like the new CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara. With a special pre-sale that started August 17 and a full-blown release in early September, the new lengthening mascara CoverGirl’s new Elasta-Nylon™ formula flexes without flaking…

True blues are popping up everywhere this season– from pumps and dresses to handbags and even makeup! Of course, there’s no reason to go head-to-toe on this one. Adding just a touch or two is a chic way to show you’re aware of the trend. Luckily, blue is one of the most flattering sections of…
So, I just learned that CBS has a new drama series called The Good Wife, starring Julianna Margulies and Chris Noth. (You know, Mr Big from Sex And The City??!!) Margulies plays a wife and mother who must assume full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband’s very public sex scandal…
With the unemployment rates hovering at 10%, chances are a lot of you are looking for work. If you’ve been missing out on a paycheck for months, cutting corners where there are none left, and have nothing left to spend on an interview outfit, don’t fret. Ryan Kohnen gives 5 tips on how to dress…
Some people are pretty particular about their toilet paper. I am especially picky about toilet paper and loath using public restrooms because of the lack of sufficient toilet paper. To me, there is nothing worse than toilet paper than is completely and utterly useless or effective. I mean, I know this isn’t a hot topic…
I’d like you to meet my new best friend… the Softspots Aelia, a smart, contemporary Mary Jane with double straps and a sleek pinched-in wedge heel. If you are female and you have feet, then these are a must-buy for Fall 2009. Why? Because they are fabulous in every way: style, comfort, value for the…
Embellishments and hardware aren’t just for handbags anymore. While it’s mostly boots with buckles and buttons, I’m noticing lots of flats, pumps and Mary Janes are adding these cute vintage details as well, just in smaller scale. This look can go one of 2 ways…. Tough hardware like oversized buckles and large buttons can add…
The Born Carolina lace-up boot is the first pair of boots I’ve added to my Fall 2009 wardrobe. These boots are very unique, yet surprisingly versatile. If you don’t have any lace-up boots, you should definitely consider these. For me, they were am absolute must-have for my Fall ’09 / Winter ’10 shoe collection. They…
Biker Boots won’t be quite as popular as they were last year, but it’s still a cool style to rock. Pair all your favorite above-the-knee length skirts with a pair of cool leather biker boots that land just below the knee. Look to celebs like Vanessa Hudgens, Lindsay Lohan and Agyness Deyn for inspiration on…

While it’s no doubt that Over The Knee Boots are the hottest trend for Fall 2009 and Winter 2010, classic knee high boots are still a must for your Fall wardrobe. If you are looking to buy a new pair of boots this season, look for rich leather and luxurious suedes in colors like black,…
Double OUCH!!! My not so positive review of Earth Aspire shoes Even though I love heels, there is a need in my line of work for flats. I actually love flats. They were my shoe of choice for the longest time, and they are my default shoes for my non-work days. However, not all…
Purple became the hot color of the season last Fall. This year though, it’s going to be even more popular. I’m seeing a lot of the other shoe trends for Fall 2009 incorporate purple into their design. Since purple is my absolute favorite color and my birthstone (February!), I couldn’t be happier. Think of it……
