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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
On the one hand, there is almost no perfume I won’t try. I have no scent loyalty what-so-ever, and I am ASTONISHED that you might smell the same every day for years, decades, your entire adult life. This isn’t your husband or career we’re talking about people, this is a little spray to start off […]
These online sales sites gather new designer goods every day and sell them for 24-48 hours, marked down by at least 50%. Mostly womens, but also men, children, home, travel. It’s the thrill of the hunt without waiting in lines, the the deal you don’t have to dig for. We adore shopping these sites […]
First, don’t bother to read this if you have never liked either of these concepts. Neither “NEW” is new enough for you. However, if like me, you have shopped these stores at some point in their (and your) long life, then you may be interested in the revamping. Identity crises, sluggish sales and general style […]
Say hey, Ellie May! How cute are these gingham Louboutins? Ok, so they are $875 at NM. I know they are online – you can ask the store to order them for you if you want. Just in case you’ve got a Clampett style fortune to spend. Number 6. Be Mine, GET ON MY PUPPPY! […]
Very sheer black pantyhose. Just replace your black tights or bare legs with a pair of super sheer blacks and count yourself in the know. Even Tim Gunn is on the bandwagon, in his recent Marie Claire column. Wear your sheer black legs with anything, obviously at night but also with daytime looks. Paring with […]
Tim Gunn hosted a Summer Fashion Show to a packed house Saturday at Southpark, answering questions from the crowd and charming his way through dozens AND dozens of photo’s with happy fans. Affable and honest, Mr. Gunn walked us through a range of summer fashions by Juicy Couture, Kate Spade and Lucky Brand Jeans, giving […]
