Laser Hair Removal: Yay or Nay?
I was watching that TV show Kimora Lee Simons: Life in the Fab Lane tonight and on the show Kimora was getting laser hair removal. What-d-ya-know but my SO tells me that I have a message about winning something from that bridal show I went to this past weekend. I check the message to find out that I won a $300 gift certificate to get a laser hair removal treatment. Wow! Cool, right!? It would be

Navy & Black: Faux Pas or No Prob?
In response to my navy post the other day, shopaholic sweetie bitterbabe, asked:"I have a question for you - one of my coworkers don't think that Navy and Black can be worn together... I think otherwise... I don't think there are any fashion rules! What do you think?"Well, bitterbabe, I always thought that you weren't supposed to wear the two together, but after a very quick google search, I

Long Layers for Leggings
I love leggings. I hope they never go out of style, but I know they will...and probably soon, too. I don't know why people don't like them so much...they're comfortable and cute. At least they are to me. I think, perhaps, that my love for leggings stems from my many years spent figure skating...in basically...leggings. Whatever the case, I wear them every opportunity I have. I've even worn

Navy for Every Budget: Spring 2008
It seems like navy has been showing up as a popular spring color for at least a year or so now, yet it can be a hard color to find in stores. This season, shops have picked up the pace by offering a lot more options for every price range. Personally, I love the navy look - paired with bright melon or green, or just white for a nautical look - it's a great alternative to black when worn right.

Are You a "Mean Girl?"
Take all this pink showing up in stores everywhere with the fact that a certain movie has been on perma-re-run for the last couple weeks and I've got "Mean Girls" on the brain big time. I think I've seen "Mean Girls" three times in the last week?!"Mean Girls" is actually one of my favorite movies. I don't know what it is about it. Sure, it's won a couple awards, but I think I just like it because
Miss America: Reality Check - Black Dress Challenge
Did anyone else watch the runway portion of that TV show Miss America: Reality Check? The girls had to take plain black dresses and add their own style to them using tips they received earlier in the show from a style expert. Then, they had to use tips they learned for how to walk the catwalk to showcase their dresses on the runway:I thought it was a pretty interesting show, and I liked watching

Crisp or Casual: Get White Hot for Spring '08

Whatever the case, I love it, especially for spring/summer months, so designers, bring it on!Here are my favorite white finds online:Long Volley Blouse - $88Kimchi & Blue Goin' To Acapulco Dress - $78Contour jackson stretch cotton-blend wide-leg pant -

A Little Shoulder - A Lotta Sexy
I'm such a huge fan of one-shoulder tops, whether they be on dresses or just tops-I think they're fab. Most importantly (for me), I think they accentuate my shoulders nicely, which is good for me, b/c I find my shoulders wide and awkward at times...maybe the one-shoulder strappy thing hides the fact that my shouldesr are wide? Stupid gymnastics! I dunno...what I do know is that I am so happy the

Chanel...Skanky?
When I think of Chanel, I think of classy business suits, costume jewelry, and yummy, uber-chic, classic-styled purses. I think the key word here is "classic"...or "classy" and when I think of Chanel, I think "classy." I don't think "skanky." In fact, I didn't think Chanel clothing and accessories could look "skanky", but Pamela Anderson has proved me wrong:Maybe they should take that piece of
Casual Shopping
In my continued effort to not dress like a complete slob, even when I'm just going out to run errands, I decided to wear a shirt I got from a super cool indie designer (couple), Ahpeele. They actually handscreened this "Art Tee"...can you believe it? I've been dying to wear this shirt since I got it a few months back, but either the weather or my business casual dress code wasn't cooperating. (
