Susana Monaco Flutter Tube Dress


I just had to share how much I adore this Susana Monaco 'Flutter Tube Dress' I just bought from Shopbop.com.  I'm usually very hesitant to buy clothing online because I'm short and curvy and I can't be assured that something will look right until I try it on. And even when I do buy clothes off the Internet, they're CONTINUE READING

Beautiful Things My Mother Taught Me


Mom and me, circa 1979 Disclosure: This post is sponsored by CoverGirl. Mother’s Day is this Sunday and I’m so excited. Not just because Mr. Spoiled Pretty and my son, Westley, are treating me to a decadent brunch. But because it’s an opportunity to celebrate my hero, Andrea Stamps. I must admit that until two years ago, Mother’s Day was just another CONTINUE READING

Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Candles: 2 for $22


At Christmastime, I agonized over what to get my son's daycare teachers. There are 12 of them - and even though he has his two main teachers, they all have interaction with him and take excellent care of him. So I needed to buy 12 gifts to show my appreciation, without breaking the bank. $10 each seemed doable, except CONTINUE READING

IMAN Skin Tone Evener BB Creme SPF 15


As a beauty expert, I’m embarrassed by how late I am to the BB Cream party. In the past year, so many friends and colleagues have asked me about BB Creams—what’s the buzz, which brands are the best, etc. —and they would look at me funny when I admitted to not having tried BB Creams yet. I mean, they CONTINUE READING

CoverGirl Outlast Brilliant Shine Nail Gloss in Vio-last


I’m very fickle about my fingernails. Before I paint my nails or get them professionally did, I spend a inordinate amount of time pondering my polish options. I consider the season, recent trends, my wardrobe that week and anywhere special I might go. But despite all of this planning, I’m usually over my polish choice before it even dries. Not CONTINUE READING

Anyone Here Watch The Bachelor?

final6 Anyone Here Watch The Bachelor?
Does anyone else watch The Bachelor: London Calling? It’s okay to admit it. This is a safe place.

shayne Anyone Here Watch The Bachelor?How funny was it last night when Shayne snowboarded down the mountain, sat on a mound of snow, then produced like eight beauty products from her parka to touch up her makeup? I was rolling! Even more hilarious was the revelation that Lorenzo Lamas is her dad.

Shayne was kinda working my nerves before. But we beauty addicts have to stick together. I predict she’ll make it to the final two – along with Amanda.

Okay, okay. Enough reality TV talk. Back to your regularly-scheduled beauty programming…

Nina Garcia, I’m Sorry…But You’re Out

Posted on by daneen in Celebrities, I Digress, Project Runway | 1 Comment

nina Nina Garcia, Im Sorry...But Youre OutJust days after Project Runway said “Auf Wiedersehen” to Bravo, Elle Magazine tells PR judge Nina Garcia she’s out.

Nina, who has served as Elle’s fashion director since 2000, “was in the office on Friday morning, but by the afternoon, sources close to the building say Hachette’s Midtown offices were abuzz about the rumor.”

This story continues to unfold – so though no official reason has been given for Nina’s departure, I’m sure more salacious details will be forthcoming.

It remains to be seen if/how this breakup will affect her position as Project Runway’s resident style guru.

From Edward Scissorhands To Salute Your Shorts

wino From Edward Scissorhands To Salute Your Shorts
I know this isn’t beauty related, but I felt the need to share. So even though I could care less about Winona Ryder – when I saw this pic of her boyfriend, Blake Soper, I thought he looked vaguely familiar. Turns out he was on that Nickelodeon show Salute Your Shorts back in the day.

Remember that show? Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about.

OMG, Winona! One day she’s got the hottest Hollywood bachelors in her little black book (remember when she dated Matt Damon?)…next thing you know, she’s (allegedly) betrothed to Salute Your Shorts kid.

Lesson learned: Winona should have used her sticky fingers to hold onto Johnny Depp, rather than shoplift at Saks.

michael kors Michael Kors Is Just Like UsFashion genius Michael Kors shares his Wednesday morning ritual with Style.com. Like me, he’s addicted to tabloid magazines. Just when I thought I couldn’t love MK more, he gives me one more reason to add to the lengthy list. Don’t you just wanna put Michael in your purse and carry him around with you all day? Or is it just me?

It’s A Lipstick Jungle, But The Shades Are All The Same

Posted on by daneen in Celebrities, I Digress | 3 Comments

lj2 Its A Lipstick Jungle, But The Shades Are All The Same
Lipstick Jungle, the new primetime series based on the 2005 Candace Bushnell novel of the same name, premiers tonight at 10pm. This highly-anticipated show about has drawn comparisons to Sex and The City. And its stars (Brooke Shields, Lindsay Price, and Kim Raver) have been on quite the media blitz lately, including several promotional appearances at Fashion Week’s hottest runway shows.

How many of you will be watching? I’m still on the fence. On the one hand, SATC is one of my all-time faves, and I’m hoping that Lipstick will be a satisfactory successor. But at the same time, why is it that this genre always seems so white-washed?

Yeah, I am aware that Lindsay Price (whose mom is Korean) is on the show, and Cashmere Mafia’s got Lucy Liu…but how come there’s never a brown girl on any of these programs? News flash, TV execs: an African-American socialite/fashionista/successful career-woman is not an oxymoron.

I mean, damn – give me a pair of Jimmy Choo’s and I’ll represent!
