I have a confession to make: if it didn’t make me look like a total vampire, I’d wear deep burgundy lipstick every day of the week. In fact right this minute I’m wearing OPI’s super foxy Honk if you love OPI on my digits, a deep sultry burgundy if there ever was one. I save the burgundy lips for serious rock and roll or a truly dark restaurant, but it’s time to bend the rules because this fall it’s…

You know, it’s time for you to break out a little. Be a little nuts. Get your animal print on. Wear some zebra, python, leopard, giraffe, lemur. I’m kidding about the lemur. It doesn’t really go with my skin tone. Seriously though, there’s something a little sexy and sophisticated about animal print, as long as you do it right. This week on Babycenter I wrote a post called 7 sexy ways to rock animal print and I want you to…

A few weeks ago I wore an all white outfit for an entire day and at least one piece of white clothing the following two days in an effort to see if I could keep myself clean for 72 hours. What I realized when I accepted this challenge* is that #1 I don’t have much white in my closet, and #2 I stopped wearing white of any sort around the time my daughter was born almost 13 years ago.

I’ll tell you what, I’ve worn make-up for an embarrassingly long time and the same go to’s always end up in my make up bag. So today I’m here to share my top 10 make up picks, the stuff that goes with me whither I goest. Which is to say, I…

Manicure tips and tricks. Summer is horrible on nails. Just flat out rotten. Between working at the computer, gardening (maybe I’m projecting a bit), swimming, cleaning, and the brittle scorching heat of the sun, manicures don’t last too long. Pedicures too. So let me help you out a little. Help me help you. (Jerry Maguire, anyone?) I can help you make your manicure last this summer with a handful of pro tricks, but you have to be obedient. Promise me…

It’s officially summer if you live in the northern hemisphere. If you live in the southern hemisphere I apologize, but I don’t feel too bad because *ahem* (I’m looking at you Australia) you live in the southern hemisphere. Anyhow, we just got back from a few days in the southern California sun and I would’ve moved in at the beach but that sort of thing is frowned upon. Instead I’ve put together a couple of style boards with cute summer…
