Makeup Junkie: Limited edition cosmetics can be better than fantasizing about a one-night stand!

M.A.C. Cosmetics Sugarsweet Collection, back with a very available past love… Any woman who has ever fantasized about a steamy one night stand with a celebrity will understand my love of limited edition cosmetics. You know what I mean– you’re at a bar, you lock eyes with Brad Pitt (or George Clooney, or whoever the hottie du jour is), and immediately you know that this is it, your chance for one amazing evening with him– this chance will never ever come again– and you’ll probably never see him again afterwards. Now, stick with me here for a moment, as I compare this to my favorite lipstick. Last year, as part of their Heatherette Collection, MAC introduced Lollipop Lovin’. Now, I’m

Golden Globes: Red Carpet fashion hits and misses

Golden Globes Red Carpet fashion review… Okay, we have our red carpet fashion favorites at tonight’s 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards, and even one big “what was she thinking?” Love it or leave it, Jennifer Lopez , pictured here, in an almost recreation of her past, now iconic, plunging Versace number. La Diva Lopez knows how to get attention in this Marchesa golden gown… we are really hoping that it looks better in person and sorry that Mr. Blackwell isn’t here to tell us why. We are always infatuated with Rene Zelwegger’s stunning and edgy style and tonight was no exception with her go-to designer, Carolina Herrera. Olivia Wilde was both chic and elegant in a froth of a lavender

Beauty Book Review: Face Value by Kathleen Baird-Murray…

A Novel Beauty Face Value by Kathleen Baird-Murray, a novel beauty book review In a seemingly flawless macrocosm of pretty good reads, Sapien bookcases vertically riddled with cutesy tomes from interns who gab too much or stay-at-homes who discover their latent editrix by a steady diet of watching fashion TV. What's a stylish girl to do when she wants a little chic in her chicklit, some irony, a sporadic giggle, and a really fun romp to read while not-so-patiently waiting for her flight to finally take off? She fills in the blanks... So here we have a novel (Face Value) with a fairy tale premise (how to make a splash in the glamour biz without really having a clue) by

GOSSIP GIRL Jewelry, Mama knows best when it comes to gorgeous baubles…

Badgley/Sneed Designs Gossip Girl jewelry What's utterly divine, rich with intrigue, terribly chic, and quite addictive? "Gossip Girl," of course! As well as its mama-lode of fabulous jewels. Frequently seen on the hit television show are some of the most fantastic rocks of genuine precious and semi-precious stones and cultured freshwater pearls in combination with mostly 14K or 18K gold findings. It's very uptown chic, so these necklaces fit the bill of elegance. And, they just happen to be have a pedigree that is very close to home... The "Gossip Girl" jewelry we love is from Badgley / Sneed Designs, the design duo that by chance is Penn Badgely's mom, Lynne Murphy Badgley and his godmother, Jan Sneed. Oh, yes

Good-bye to a fashion era, Mr. Blackwell dies

Mr. Blackwell: 1922-2008 He was our favorite be-atch. We’ve been covering his Worst Dressed Fashion List with glee for years. While we may not have always agreed with Mr. Blackwell, we certainly enjoyed the chuckle. Mr. Blackwell was the forerunner of the celebrity fashion zingers and without him paving the way, who knows, maybe Joan Rivers would be as sweet as a pageant girl in front of the judges. Here are some Blackwell bites from his Worst Dressed List over the years: Donatella Versace: “Time to toss the peroxide once and for all . . . She resembles a flash-fried Venus, stuck in a Miami Strip Mall!” Camilla Parker-Bowles: “In feathered hats that were once the rage,

Life is Beautiful… NYC Graffiti to Inspire

"Life is Beautiful" East Village graffiti in the style of Andy Warhol. Larry King and Michael Jackson with Marilyn Monroe hair, and Alfred Hitchcock. Whenever I am away from NYC, no matter how amazing a place that my travels take me, I miss the grit, guts, and eclectic vibe that you can find when stepping outside your door. We all have a tendency to get caught up in the glamour and illusion of celebrity and the unobtainable. But instead, true style and insight turn up in so many different paths, that all you need to do is keep your eyes open and be aware of the style around you– that is where you can really find inspiration. Graffiti is
