How to Wear Neon. Pop It Like It’s Hot.

Apr 25, 2012 | Susu

Just go with a tiny pop of color, like the belt on Poole Shop’s outift below. Or go with the full on like Neon Deion. It’s a fashion train that you should hop on for a quick ride this summer. It goes well, of course, with white and black and neon combos look super hot […]

e.l.f. and the $1 make-up

Mar 22, 2012 | Susu

“Eyes, Lips, Face” is a super-cheap make-up line.  Too cheap to believe – most items are priced at $1 – $2.  That’s right, $1.  Not on sale, not a close-out, but everyday $1.    The package size is smaller and in stores like Target, e.l.f. is often found in the sample bins.  And while you may […]

What’s new for nails – Spring/Summer 2012 Color Trends

Mar 20, 2012 | Susu

Lady-like. That’s the word to remember when thinking nail colors and styles this spring and summer.  Whether you choose a classic red, a crisp coral, dreamy pastels or elegant nudes, you’ll want to be channeling Grace Kelly or Kate Middleton and not Dita Von Teese or Nicki Minaj. While there are still talon looks out […]

D-I-Y Neon color blocking

Jul 25, 2011 | Susu

I am not a D-I-Y’er.  My one and only DIY project involved a newly-wedded bathroom renovation that ended in tears (me) and beers (he) among the Mexican saltillo tiles.  But DIY-ing is HUGE in fashion, home, bridal and beyond, and some brave new soul is always thinking up a way to take a trend and […]

Make your own havaianas.

May 24, 2011 | Susu

The options are not nearly as cute as the SOLD OUT Missoni for Havaianas.  But, if you’re good with paying $35 to pick your own colors and bling, you can go online to havaianas.com and design your own here. This strikes me as a fun if expensive “school’s out for summer” treat for a 10 […]

What’s New for Nails, Part II

May 17, 2011 | Susu

SHELLACâ„¢. It’s the logical evolution in manicures.  Like a standard polish but more durable and longer lasting.  Up to 3 weeks for some folks, and at least two weeks of fairly flawless shine for most.  It just may well put an end to both acrylics, gels and regular polish manicures in the next year or […]

What’s new for Nails in spring/summer 2011?

May 11, 2011 | Susu

COLORS:  Some may stay true to nudes (Deborah Lippman Naked is the hottest new nude, as well as Duchess Catherine’s custom wedding blend using Essie Allure).   Others prefer neutrals (Chanel Particuliere and Essie Chinchilly) and some cannot step back from blacks (Chanel Black Pearl is the must have).   But most of us break […]

Jeans: In Living Color

Mar 29, 2011 | Susu

Two snaps in a circle.  Can I possibly bring myself to wear cropped red skinny jeans?  Or pastel peach?  As always, they look cute in the pics. Clearly, the key to wearing these will be to go neutral on everything else. They must be skinny and cropped, worn with a pointy heel & a cross-body […]

The best kept beauty secret in town.

Mar 26, 2011 | Susu

We first posted about this in 2009.  Lots of new readers since then, so we thought we’d update you: Secluded near the perfume counter, through an understated entry, lies the hidden jewel that is the complimentary beauty spa at Neiman Marcus South Park.  Yes, complimentary.   Personal service and customer relations at its absolute best, […]
