The Worst Holiday Gifts Beyond Regifting

Thumbs down to fugly fashion gift certificates… A friend of mine came back in a sweat after spending over 2 hours in the local, rhymes with Freako’s, not for want, but out of desperation. Seems that my friend in question was the proud recipient of a $100 gift certificate that she couldn’t find a way to spend in the store known for dressing that hunky swimmer’s mom when she was in the limelight. However, my friend has quite the Barbie doll body and not typically seen in stamp-printed camp shirts, shapeless floral cardigans, or elastic waist midcalf skirts. Fashion legend Diana Vreeland embraced the notion of bad taste, but “No taste is what I’m against,” she said. Let’s just call

Oslo Style: How to get new outfits for free

Home Town Style: Oslo, Norway… Get some Oslo stye: Retail remedy tips to shop your closet. I know, going shopping with an empty wallet is not easy.

French Chic Fashion Tips – What to wear in Paris

What to wear in Paris can be a challenge. Follow my timeless French chic fashion tips and you can master Parisian style, where ever you are… French chic… What to wear in Paris (our Paris inspiration shopping guide is at the end of the page) Dear Sharon: I'm going to Paris for vacation and don't want to look like a tourist. I'm not familiar with what is acceptable to wear in such a chic city for touring around. I'm thinking the usual American customs of wearing shorts, T-shirts, sweats, tennis shoes, UGG's, or flip-flops probably won't go over well in Paris. What should I wear to a dinner cruise on the Seine or trolling about Paris to visit museums, shop,

Letters to the Editor on uncovering the appeal of fake fur

Letters to the Editor Readers respond to our suggestion on recycling fur yesterday here: THANKS for the GREAT column /article about fake fur and how it is the way to go, rather than wearing real animal fur. Good job!! You have a new fan/devotee. -S.W. (Woodbury, CT) Yay! To Slamming Real Fur! I love your message of not be cruel to be cool. It shows to people that they don't have wear a real animal's coat to be "in", but that they can fake the real look. This is totally cool. Cruelty is not right and I think you should publish more articles like this. Thanx -O.S.(Linclon Park, MI) I agree that killing animals for their fur is creepy--and I get frustrated with fur

More about Metrosexuals….

Letters to the Editor readers talk back Dear Editor: What the hell is a metrosexual? Why do people think that if a man is well dressed and knows how to do it w/o the help of a woman or queer eye he himself must be gay or this metrosexual crap. I come from a long line of very well dressed men. Being black and growing up in the south you had to dress well just to get any kind of job, so my grandfather started the meticulous style of dressing that I am passing on to my son. We buy our clothes at a men's store and our shoes from a mens store or a shoe store. We do it

What to Wear- Pretty professional office looks for a petite figure

Stylish and sophisticated business style that's office appropriate for a slim figure...  I would like fashion advice on styles and places to shop for professional looking clothing for a small frame. I am 25 years old and 5'6" tall with a well-proportioned, size 2 hourglass figure that's a tad larger on top. My problem is finding fashionable office appropriate looks in small sizes for my petite figure. The Juniors department usually carries small sizes but often the styles are unsuitable for the office and not cut for a more mature, shapely figure. The Misses department rarely carries anything below a size 4 or 6. I don't want to look like a "teeny bopper" nor do I want to look "old & frumpy".

Somber, Retro Glamour for Oscar Fashion Stars

It's curves not cleavage at the 78th Annual Academy Awards Oscar Fashion 2006- Celebrity style turns back to good old Hollywood glamour. Only Dolly Parton and her “girls” were able to shake some badass sass into last night's Oscars. Never one to take herself too seriously, Dolly has fun with her campiness- and, that's why it works for her. Meanwhile, most stars took themselves very seriously in retro glamour that was divine at it's best and aging at its worst. Reese Witherspoon shined in her 1955 Christian Dior gown that she picked up in a Paris vintage shop. The ribbon and beaded gown could have looked more Mamie Eisenhower than ingénue on anyone else, but Reese's simple, undone hair and
