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).

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.
