Charles Alexander is only 30 years old, but he has already established himself as the neckwear designer for men wanting a little elegance. Regis Philbin wore his ties on American talk show LIVE! with Regis and Kelly and Alexander’s ties will soon become the New York Knicks’ official neckwear. “I started out making smart made to order ties for me and my friends. I used a tailor in New York’s Fashion District,” Alexander says, who lives in... 

“Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by how make up can change someone’s face. I used to buy just Seventeen and smash hits and copy the looks of the latest popstars on my friends; Kylie Minogue’s late 90’s looks,” Sophia Louise Knight says. She has come a long way since those days, as part of the main makeup team for Tim Burton’s new film Dark Shadows. Her work can also be seen in The Social Network, Harry Potter, Sherlock... 

If you hate doing your nails at the spa, a new product allows you to recreate the same salon look at home. “The original idea was invented by a cosmetic dentist. So when a set of nails is created for that client they will fit no one else but her, just like a dental veneer. The client has control over where, when and how long she would like to wear her nails. She also can have multiple sets: shorter for her work environment and a longer set for weekends... 

Stop shampooing your hair right now! I mean this. I learned of this suggestion many years ago from a hairdresser. The advice flew in one ear and out the other, and just recently, I am enjoying the idea again. African-American ladies know it as CO wash, short for “condition wash.” I all of a sudden remembered the info. Weird, but good timing. How do you CO wash your hair in the shower? Really, you substitute conditioner for any kind of... 

Hot pants. A small confession: I secretly thought about wearing hot pants the past year or so. Today, I shockingly recieved a free pair with something else I purchased. HOT PANTS. AS IN 1970’S, the “you better have worked out your leg muscle 1 hour a day everyday to wear these” kind. Robin’s egg, near turquoise, to be exact. Think I have what it takes to work these? Bring it on. If not, I can pull them out in July.    I admittedly pull...

Gwyneth Paltrow, shown at the Emmys this past weekend, wore this sort of not quite see through cutout dress/top and bottom skirt-shirt set. I know a lot of people hated it. I personally loved it! Memories of my own….. I had a skirt like this around 2001 I got in Kansas City that I loved and wore practically to its grave whenever I went out somewhere at night. I wore the skirt when I won 3rd place at the regional speech contest at 14. A few guys... 

Listen up, lady. Who are you and what have you done with Kate Gosselin? You are not her, are you? Please. *putting up hand* You took her and made her look good. Nice dress, good tan, perfect hair and great smile. I almost thought for a second it was someone who could go beyond a boring TLC show about having lots of kids onto a bona fide TV hosting career.

Kate Winslet in a Stella McCartney dress. Don’t you just love it? She’s already kind of curvy and the dress accentuates her figure type. Me, wearing this dress? Uh. I’m a curvaceous pencil block, if that makes any sense. Would it work on me?? Original Post Date: September 5, 2011  Read More →
