…George Clooney made a different kind of vow. This Oscar winner has long been considered Hollywood’s most-eligible bachelor, but that eligibility just got eliminated. On Saturday, September 27, he and Amal Alamuddin, a human-rights lawyer, held what was supposed to be a private wedding celebration in Venice, Italy. Oh, but when you’re George Clooney nothing is ever really private:) Here’s what the …
Last Saturday, when my alarm went off at 7 am, I immediately hit snooze. It was the weekend. But once I realized that it was also the Nordstrom Fall Trend Show, I bolted out of bed. Some people strive to be fashionably late to events, but – trust me ladies – when it comes to a show with the hottest …
I became attached to Bobbi Brown cosmetics before I had my first boyfriend, went to my first prom, or even entered high school. You could say Bobbi has accompanied me on many firsts:) And today I’m still turning to her trusty products. I saw an ad with the below Bobbi Babe back when I was about 14. So I made a …
Some people think that only mega stars with their armies of stylists can be mega beautiful. But I say, not so! Anyone with a positive outlook and a healthy lifestyle is radiant. To show how it’s done, I’ve decided to create a Science of Beauty video series, starting with the Beauty of Foods. With the help of my friend Annie, …
Whenever someone says, “Elizabeth Taylor,” beautiful is one of the first adjectives that come to mind. Just the way she walked exuded feminine allure. So for this Beauty Trend Tuesday, I couldn’t think of a better person to focus on. And even though she’s no longer among us, her sentiments have stayed. As Elizabeth once admitted, “I never face the …
Whenever I see celebs dressed in their red carpet best for awards ceremonies, I want to mimic them. But – flash to reality – I don’t have a stylist, a stash of designer gowns, and a calendar full of black tie events. So this time when I watched the stars pose for the paparazzi, I decided to take the hottest …
I was feeling like a little end-of-summer change. Last weekend, I went dancing and one of the girls at the club had an adorable short haircut with a luxurious cascade of layers. So I decided to take the snip. But once I was in the chair, I wasn’t daring enough to whack off length everywhere. So I shortened my first layer …
Over the weekend, I saw this Woody Allen movie that has audiences literally spellbound…by its alluring 1920s fashions. Emma Stone, the leading lady, pulled it all off as though she had been born for the era. A few days after enjoying this fashion parade, I was invited to an alfresco black-and-white dinner party. So I went exploring in my closet, …
Tom Ford! When I attended one of his cosmetic trend shows, the audience chanted at the top of their lungs, “Numbers don’t lie, check the scoreboard… Tom Ford, Tom Ford, Tom Ford…” There was so much spontaneous hype from loyal customers that it was hard for the host to settle everyone down! Who else besides Tom Ford has a top …
Today’s beauty breakdown is all about nails, plus high-quality colors that shout “Summer,” and are known for covering with just one coat! I figure that summer only comes around once a year, so now is the time to bring out the bright colors with gusto. Whether you’re an emerging artist, a college girl, or a businesswoman, FingerPaints Up and Coming …
Milly’s latest line is a masterful indulgence in black and white. Here’s my latest find. I paired my Milly with a Natasha Couture quilted box clutch. This isn’t only a fashion accessory—the edges are thick and strong, meaning that it could double as a lethal weapon. Okay, I’m kidding! But if you run into a robber, your Natasha might come …
A friendly place where you grab a drink and mingle with friends is no longer the only kind of bar that’s popular. Braid Bars are trending. I encountered one while passing through Nordstrom. A DJ was remixing the top 40, hairdressers had set up shop next to him, and style mavens were lined up eager to get the hottest braids. …
Come Saturday – National Dance Day – I hope that answer is “Everyone!” Right now, I’m cloistered in my room with my computer (well, honestly, and some ice cream) editing a video to post tomorrow. Here are some screenshots from it. I have combined a variety of people enjoying dance ranging from my little cousins, to me trying aerial silks …
Today, we have a little headband history. As I was racing through Nordstrom to pick up something before dinner, I was stopped by – not just one but two – displays jam-packed with headbands. Some say that this fashion began when wreaths were placed on the heads of winning athletes at the first Olympic Games. This summer, headbands are again …
Fuchsia is such a summer color, what with its namesake flowers blooming in gardens, popping out of pots, and appearing on apparel. This hue has even migrated into makeup. On the eyes, it can look either rock star-ish or refreshing. I like to go for the latter, so I teamed up with Tricia – the globetrotting Bobbi Brown babe – …
