One cannot watch "Snow White and the Huntsman" without being completely gobsmacked by the costumes. They are truly incredible! Academy Award winning costume designer Colleen Atwood just may win herself another Oscar. Atwood, a favorite of Tim Burton, is the genius behind such movies as "Edward Scissorhands" and "Alice in Wonderland", but with this new [...]

The Little White Dress
We all know how important the "little black dress" is. It's the one article of clothing that will get you through any social event on your calendar. But now that it's summer, maybe we should switch things up and try a "little WHITE dress". Yes, the old rules dictate you should only wear white Memorial [...]
Parisian Chic At Ann Taylor
I have to tell you, I am dying over Ann Taylor's fall 2012 collection. When I saw the photos I was absolutely gobsmacked! Where did this come from? Have I been missing out on fabulous pieces? I admit, I have not been in Ann Taylor for years. It's always felt very business lady to me, [...]
Lilac Time Of Year
Growing up, we had a row of lilac bushes in our yard. I always looked forward to spring because the air would be full of the heavenly aroma of lilac. It is my favorite scent. Not to mention, they are very pretty and make lovely floral arrangements. Unfortunately, they don't last long. And the bush [...]

From My Style Book

I created four great looks for spring. They're fun, a little flirty, and contain a variety of price points. I love this [...]
Nails On Pointe
I've shared my love of ballet with you all before. I think it's one of the most beautiful art forms and I always dreamed of being a ballerina (don't most girls?). One of the things I love the most are all the muted colors. The beige, pink, and white of ballet slippers, tutus, and leotards [...]
Clear Pores With Charcoal
I'm a big bath taker. I can spend hours reading and relaxing, but it's also when I do my more luxurious beauty rituals-like masks. Masks are one of those products we often forget about, but are also one of the products most beneficial to our skin. They can hydrate, exfoliate, oxygenate, and clear out those [...]

Pearly Whites
My Mom asked me recently why I always smile with a closed mouth in photos. Apparently, I used to have a big smile where I happily showed off my pearly whites. I told her that my teeth aren't very white anymore. It's true-all those years drinking Coke and fruit juices have taken their toll on [...]
