SCOOP

True confessions time. I have had CoolSculpting, and it really does work. It’s not much of a secret that I love all the things, but I usually don’t go in for the personal experience tell-alls. However, so many people have wondered about “coolsculpting,” and so many practices are offering it, I figured….well…..if the scoop fits…. […]

First the tops started getting shorter and shorter, and now the hemline on pants creeping up on us. Remember those stretchy knit gaucho pants everyone was sporting in the early 2000’s? Well these aren’t it. The new culottes are breezy, stylish and easier to pull off than you might think. When executed correctly culottes can […]

Spring Break: that dreaded week every year when you choose to don shorts and bikinis after hibernating all winter long.

As their name […]

In the Mood For…with Man Repeller – Is it OK… by style Oh ManRepeller. She always knows what to wear to turn the boys away from the yard. If you want to partake in some manrepelling and dress for the transition to warm weather then try the dress-over-pants look. This style was made popular in […]

Debutante season may not start until the fall but shopping has already begun for that perfect debut dress. With two main Debutante presentations in Charlotte and one statewide ball, many young women will be donning a white dress for their entrance into society this fall. And for many, these dresses need to be approved by […]

Too many of us have spent too many years weighed down (literally and figuratively) by the expectation that sexy women have long hair. While long, blended-and-extended layers will continue to be beaten into the ground by the VS Angels, the look has truly been done. Getting up the nerve to take the chop can be as empowering and ego-boosting as trading in stiletto pumps and bandage […]

It’s called “Ecaille” in French, or “Tortoiseshell”, and it looks exactly how it sounds. With tortoiseshell hair, as with the ever-beloved accessory, you have a richer, more dimensional color. […]

Every year, it seems like we accumulate more STUFF around the house, and every year we vow to clean and clear.  Basically you have three options on what to do with last year’s outgrown clothes, toys and trinkets: store them, sell them, or donate them.  Since they call me the Consignment Queen, I suggest sell […]

Color. When we think of summer, we think of warmth and vibrancy… and rich color all around us. Whether you spend your summer laying out on a towel for long hazy afternoons, busily running around town in short skirts and sexy gladiators, or attending warm-evening weddings perfectly coifed and at ease… everything is sexier with pretty […]
