Dear Christian, This is just to say I won’t be involved with you anymore. This relationship has been too painful. I must admit, I tried so hard to live up to your image. But the night I wore these to my daughters wedding, they slipped off my heels as I walked her down the aisle and left me hobbling like an old lady. I almost threw them in the wishing well. It wasn’t the first time you caused...

I went to Lucky Shops for the first time...

The three finalists, Nora Del Busto, Wakana Koike, and Adolfo...

Sales associates, Glam representatives and even a seamstress were on hand to assist me and other fashion bloggers. My... 

As we gear up for winter, it’s time to look at your moisturizing routine. Nothing dries your skin out more than winter wind and indoor heating. Now is the time to stock up on products that are going to combat the winter dryness many of us experience. I recently started using three new moisturizing products. For the face, I have been using Patricia Wexler Intensive Night Reversal and Repair Cream.... 

Is Madge taking a shot at Guy Ritchie? She was spotted out and about in NYC recently (shortly after divorce rumors) wearing Chanel’s “Miami Vice” Gun shoes. The shoes are from the 2009 Cruise Collection and designed by Laurence Decade for Karl Lagerfeld’s House of Chanel. These sexy stilettos feature a toy gun on the bottom so you can shoot from the heel (and not from the hip)....

It’s early fall and already the stores are starting to put great things on sale. With all the news about the economy you’d think the sky was falling. If it is, I want to be in a great pair of boots. My news says that the ankle boot will stick around longer than my 401k. And damn it, I still want something fun and sexy. These booties are just the ticket for my Wall Street Blues. Wear them... 

The bandage dress may be a red carpet fave but celebrities and fashionistas in the know are getting to know Roland Mouret. The buzz began in 2005 when the ‘Galaxy’ dress hit the Hollywood red carpets. The hype continued when super ‘Posh’ Victoria Beckham wore the pink RM by Roland Mouret Moon dress to her husband’s LA Galaxy game. Fans of the RM by Roland Mouret Pigalle wool dress include... 

Mineral makeup has been all the rage lately. I see ads and promotions for it all the time, so I decided to give it a try. I visited the Bare Minerals counter in Nordstrom and was warmly greeted. I let the consultant know that I have never used mineral makeup before and that I wanted to achieve a natural, everyday look. My skin was prepped with Skin Rev-er Upper, and a little goes a long way. Just... 

This week everyone is veering to the side of practicality. Let’s face it, a good boot will cost you a good bit. There’s nothing sexier than a woman in a knee high black boot, and nothing more irritating than an expensive boot that sits in your closet because you can’t walk in it. That’s why these Dior Cannage Boots are my pick of the week. Not only are they drop dead gorgeous,...
