This is going to sound crazy. I just bought a new red wallet (on a great sale at Kate Spade!) and on buying it I thought WOW THAT’S RED. But I felt compelled to buy it, not because it’s Kate Spade and not even because it was on super sale. I just had to have [...]

Thank you Isabella Oliver for making maternity clothes look like real clothes! Now I wish I were pregnant just so I could wear these. You know the maternity line is good if even a non-preggers woman wants the look. Here are my top many choices:

In the midst of this winter greyness, it’s refreshing to see bright spring dresses at Target. I was just looking at the Jason Wu line at Target – Woot! Yes, Jason Wu, who shot to stardom after dressing the First Lady for the Inaugural Ball has a Target line. I love how a designer is [...]

This just in from the fashion people: color, color, color. Have you seen the new neon? It’s everywhere. Pink. Green. Orange. Just SCREAMING AT YOU. Peruse J Crew‘s new arrivals and, if you’re my age, you’ll start singing the Thompson Twins or Spandau Ballet what for all the 80s influence. At least color wise. That [...]

By now we’ve probably all heard about dry shampoo and the minutes it saves us when we are looking a little more greasy than glam, but did you know about the off-label genius of baby wipes, your hair iron or a sharpie? Neither did I. Of course, I do know that baby wipes are amazing [...]

In a word: glamorous. But since ‘glamor’ and ‘mom’ usually are mutually exclusive, that’s not what I’m talking about. I know, I know, all moms can be (and should be!) considered glamorous just by being us. Right? Right? Whatever. The real world knows differently. But, one of the cool things we can take home after [...]

Ahh, the one that got away. Gorgeous home, with a backyard. Simple, elegant, all done in neutrals with pops of color. Unfortunately, I’ve found it AFTER it’s been snapped up by some lucky buyer. Oh, and I don’t live in New York. Oh, AND, I don’t have $3.75 million. But still…it feels like the house [...]

I heart scarves. It has taken me living in San Francisco for a decade – on and off – to learn how to tie a scarf, what with all the cold foggy days here. And it’s not that I do it properly or anything. Mine is always a little pulled together, a little messy. Much [...]

Ahh. The fountain of youth. In a jar. It’s not gonna happen, is it? I know this, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to find the perfect night cream. And, guess what? I just happened to stumble on something pretty amazing: L’Occitane’s Immortelle Divine Cream. Let me just say that I’m enamored with all [...]

In case you need a little push in the holiday cheer direction, I just found out about Slacker’s updated holiday stations. Slacker is a cool service that lets you listen to a myriad of Internet radio stations. I like the classics, so I’ve been listening to Burl and Bing. But the R&B Christmas station is [...]

That’s right. Channel your inner teen and text your heart away. You can even add fun/crazy/glam icons thanks to Zlango. Of course, if you actually were a teen, you’d already know about texting with attitude and icons and all that. You would have learned it by osmosis and be able to magically have your thoughts [...]

For this holiday party last week I had the dress, the shoes and even the Spanx! But to look in the mirror. Urgh. My make-up was just leaving me flat. Maybe you can relate? I was going to just run into Walgreens again and find a mascara. I seem to do this every time I [...]
