I was forever applying eyeliner and taking it …
I have some male sources willing to pass on dating insights so long as their identities remain anonymous. None of them want to be wining and dining a woman and have her read his mind because she read about him. We’ll call this crew, The Mystery Men. They are a direct contrast to guys I interview on my site who …
Last March, I snuck into this No Entrar zone in Cabo and filmed a little Instagram vid. I was wearing a fringed top, and predicted that fringe fashion was about to explode. Look who called it right?! Not like I’m gloating or anything;) https://instagram.com/p/mCHI7KifGu/ Autumn styles have been fringe-tinged…in all pieces and price points. Here’s the 1-2-3 of this look…items …

One of my best guy friends once told me, “Girls worry whether guys will like their perfumes. The best way to find out is to bring a man along to shop.” So when samples of six Aerin fragrances arrived at my door, I put them to the test…that is, the Man Test! In case you’ve been on hiatus from the …
That has been my color palette lately, because I’m hooked on Halloween. Hope all you darlings out there have kicked off this holiday right! I don’t know about you, but when I’m dressing up as someone else, my coquettish energy seems to quadruple. If any shenanigans go down tonight, all I have to say is… “It was my Halloween alter-ego!” …

Here are …
