Ticks and Tatts…

A little country ditty to keep your summer rolling Ticks and Tatts - Ticks by Brad Paisley is a little country ditty to keep your summer rolling You know how there are those funky summer songs which have that memorable hook that you can't quite get out of your head? To this day, I can place my Hamptons summer with Sheryl Crow's “All I Want to Do” chorus etched in my brain. Move forward a dozen years later and a few thousand miles West, and this time I'm all itchy about Brad Paisley's infectiously catchy tune, Ticks is just what you need to have some fun this summer… “…. your jeans are playing peek a boo I'd like to see

Feeling right in a swimsuit… Flattering swimsuits to build self-confidence

Feeling right in a swimsuit… Flattering swimsuits to build self-confidence All my life I've worn those bathing suits that cover just as much of my body as regular clothes do. The other day I decided to try on a regular bikini type bathing suit, just to see how it would look. It looks GREAT on me, and I'm not that ashamed of my body like I used to be, but I'm still embarrassed to go to the beach or anywhere else while I'm wearing it! I need more self- confidence. I won't even show it to anyone besides my mom, who tells me it looks great. How can I get used to showing that much skin in public?(San Diego, CA)

Shoe Innersoles, jazz up your step…

Fashion treat for sweaty feet Fashion Shoe Innersoles - Chic treat for sweaty feet with Summer Soles. Shoe innersoles, or insoles, those yucky-colored uninspiring liners that hardly deserve a place inside our faultlessly chic shoes. But they do have that extra absorbent quality that's a bonus for summer sweaty feet. And let's face, when you go without hose on a hot day, your feet can get pretty sticky and blistered. But what's a fashionista to do? Skip the blue gel or humdrum beige drugstore insoles and put some groove in your step!

Double your shoe wardrobe…

Convert backless shoes into chic and strappy footwear Muleos backless shoe contverter. Stylish shoe accessory strap to convert a pair of mules into strappy sandals. Come on, just say the dual shoe mule ten times fast. Just try to say it without tripping up. I dare you. Ok, you won't trip as much as when the hem of your wide-leg pants gets caught in your mules.

Divalicious Fashion Advice with a Twang…

Ask a Gay Man Divalicious Fashion Advice with a Twang. Ask a Gay Man fashion videos by William Sledd on YouTube. William Sledd was probably playing with Pound Puppies (oh, is that a Versace dog collar?!) when I was starting out as a stylist. And almost from the get go of my style career, fabulousness all aside, I felt that fashion really wasn't connecting to the everyday person as frankly as it could. That's why I started my syndicated fashion advice column and then, eventually this web site, but you should know my pedigree by now and my need to keep it real. Only yesterday, I was glancing at a fairly mass-appeal ‘fashion' column which offered some double duh, lightbulb-popping

Princess for a day…

Make it a Disney wedding gown Disney launches a collection of Disney Princess-inspired wedding gowns. The designer bridal line is officially called Kirstie Kelly for Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings Collection where every wedding dress is inspired by a Disney princess. Frankly, I'm still trying to get over my last Disney experience taking in hoards of Theme Park visitors of all shapes and sizes wearing the warm (and not so warm) weather tourist uniform of unflattering short shorts, white boxy sneakers, and white athletic socks. I wish had a magic makeover wand to turn each and every waddling pair of pull-on shorts into a becoming, comfy and casual summer outfit— that would be magic! I also have to admit that I

Make nice-nice to colored hair…

Clairol Nice N' Easy Intensive Treatment restores luster and condition We all know that wiggle in our walk. That proud of our self ‘cause we look so hot little strut that we get when we're feeling like we've got it all together. The kind of pulled together vibe that we feel when we catch our reflection in a store window, hair blowing, tresses all shiny, looking years more alive and vital, right after a fresh new hairstyle, and some loving color. Let's face it, besides the vibrant shade, the best thing about freshly colored hair, is its amazing shine. New cars have their smell, and newly tinted locks have that silky, glossy, childlike sheen…. that, yeegads, dulls over time. Fast-forward

Working the Red Carpet…

Oscar fashion tips to learn from oscar Fashion 2007- Celebrity style. Working the Red Carpet. Oscar fashion tips to learn from. Ever since Joan Rivers first squawked, “Who are your wearing?” what you are wearing at the Academy Awards catapulted itself out of bitchy coach potato gossip into a mainstream fashion marketing event. Frankly, I find the old days of anticipating what kooky outfit Cher will wear and who made a fashion blunder far more thrilling than the stylist cleansing of any major fashion faux pas.True to new fangled form, there weren't any big time fashion disasters at the79th Academy Awards. There were simply some dresses that one just wouldn't care for. Every event seems to need a fashion scapegoat
