Real life glamour…

Real life glamour: Add some punch to your wardrobe with top fashion trends you already have Add some punch to your wardrobe with top fashion trends you already have Dear Sharon: My style is pretty simple- lot's of nicely cut basics. I think I've got that look down pat. But when it comes to getting dressed up, I'm a complete disaster. I'm not talking about anything too dressy (thankfully, I'm not a red carpet princess) just with some pizzazz for special occasions and maybe a little jazzed up day here and there. My calendar is getting filled with a class reunion (horrors), an engagement party, and the usual holiday fare that seems to be creeping up faster than ever. Can

The ultimate in high/low fashion?

Karl Lagerfeld for H&M The ultimate in high low fashion, Karl Lagerfeld for H & M. We've been waiting, anticipating, and now it's just about here. Drum roll, please… The Karl Lagerfeld for H&M collection debuts in selected H&M stores in all 20 markets from November 12th. The genius behind Chanel and his eponymous collection, Karl Lagerfeld makes high fashion available to all at low prices simply because he felt 'the idea was modern'. Bravo to Karl for knowing that the secret of a great wardrobe is all in the mix, not the price tag! “My concept of ready-to-wear today at whatever level is that it has to be as good as the most expensive brand. Design is very important,

Tan in a Can…

Get salon airbrush tan results at home Get salon airbrush tan results at home A rich tan is unmistakably the hottest summer trend, yet we all know the dangers of toasting ourselves silly to get that sun-drenched look. While most savvy fashionistas do get their fake bake from a salon's airbrush tan artist or a walk-in spray machine, we aren't necessarily keen to strip down and mist up by appointment or spray-paint ourselves into some weird, splotchy orange glow. But, the idea of browning naturally is quite appealing. Imagine not applying a dye or color to your skin, but developing a brilliant bronze enhancement on your own based upon a natural chemical reaction quite similar to that of a cut

Sarah Jessica Parker style details…

Fifties glamour is no simple affair Ok, the fluffy pink brocade cocktail dress is hard to miss. Most would let a dress this big stand on its own and abide by the K.I.S.S. rule (keep, it simple, sweetie) of removing one accessory before leaving the house. But not our girl SJP. Sarah Jessica Parker knows how to pile on the glitz in style. Let's examine… .Turquoise eye shadow .Rich, dark tan .Pale pink mouth .Pretty ponytail .Large pearl button earrings .Jumbo turquoise beads .Dainty aurora borealis necklace .Pale blue reptile clutch with jeweled closure .Massive gotrocks bracelet .Ditto on the gotrocks cocktail ring A look this luxe is not exactly a DIY fashion primer to try yourself at home.

Take Note…

Pamela Anderson and the The Lycra® British Style Awards Pamela Anderson and the The Lycra® British Style Awards What would life be without references? When the wisdom of life starts to clog your brain, jot it down. Crib notes, if you must! It's nice to see that even Pamela Anderson suffers from any occasional lapse of memory. She may have hosted the dinner for TheLycra® British Style Awards, known in the UK as the 'Oscars' of the Fashion Industry, but when it comes down to not missing a trick, there's no souped-up techno solution for Pam. She does it the old-fashioned way: a cheat note scratched on her palm in blue ink (pictured far left). What the scribble actually says

Ankle Bracelet Dilemma… Wrap it Up or Wrap it Under

Ankle Bracelet Dilemma... Wrap it Up or Wrap it Under I am hoping you can settle a debate. I am wondering what is the proper way to wear an anklet. My cohort believes that it is acceptable to wear an anklet underneath stockings, where I believe it is not. And though I may be willing to concede that it is OK to wear an anklet under nude stockings, (however begrudgingly) I believe it is NEVER OK to wear an anklet under colored stockings. Am I wrong? Please advise. (Hyde Park, MA) There are those who are fans of wearing anklets, also known as ankle bracelets. Then there are those who simple just don't see them as being a particularly chic

How to Appear Taller When You’re Petite With Short Legs

How to Appear Taller When You're Petite With Short Legs I am very short (4ft, 11inches) and have short legs. What can I wear to make myself look taller and long legged? (Nantwich, Cheshire, England) >> Check out our Petite Clothing Shopping Guide It's not as difficult as it seems to create the appearance of height. When you're vertically challenged, the best way to look taller is to stick to a single color from head to toe, or monochromatic colors that blend well together. Once a color break is introduced, your body automatically becomes visually divided, and that will accentuate your petiteness. The trick to create the illusion of longer legs is to draw the eye upwards. Keep to well-fitting,

Short on Bermuda Style…Hose No’s

Short on Bermuda Style...Hose No's I like to wear navy Bermuda shorts suits with a white blouse, ivory hose, and navy shoes. I'm not into bare legs and prefer ivory in lieu of natural color hosiery. Is this acceptable dress for someone who is 60 years old and size 8? And, is colored hose out of fashion? Should I just do what feels good and looks good to me? (Conroe, TX) If you're after the Little Lord Fauntleroy look, you've hit the right mark. Bermuda shortsuits are just not a chic style choice in most fashion circles. Always unflattering ivory or white hose is simply not stylish. If you need to wear pantyhose, you should not be wearing shorts. A

Pantyhose and Sandals, Oh My

Pantyhose and Sandals, Oh My Urgent, I need to know if you can wear open toed shoes with nylons for a nice evening out in the city. -Nutty Over Nylons (San Francisco, CA) If I had a coin for every time someone asked me some version of the same "pantyhose with sandals" conundrum I would have enough money for a lifetime supply of different Manolo's for every day of the week! Sheer nude hose worn with very open toe shoes or sandals looks weird. A small peek-a-boo open toe shoe looks fine when worn with hosiery. Bare feet and a perfect pedicure are best with sandals. Tip: if you need the support of pantyhose and you're wearing pants, hack the
