Rock & Republic's Alpha Blonde Creates an Art Form

With mascaras and (under) eye liners beyond BIG this season, the perfect nude lip is now a necessary masterful art. Not unlike the artist capable of creating the subtle distinction between naked pictures and the nude portrait, this tweezer-sized tube from Rock & Republic's ultra fab cosmetics collection elevates the nude lip to an art form. For sparkly, sultry, gold-dusted lips it's a must h

I am so with Gwen on being over color. By the end of fashion week last year I was already sick of purple but it had somehow infused my whole wardrobe. I going back to black and camel and maybe some updated hunter green. Color is for makeup and accessories this winter. The ever polite (and fashion forward) Ms. Stefani made sure to thank the New Vaseline® Sheer Infusion body lotion sponsors, as the

Fashion Week Report: John Patrick Organic Show Hair by Aveda

I am completely adoring the look created by Odile Gilbert for Aveda at the John Patrick Organicshow. The modern, playful take on Bohemian-chic is absolutely worthy of my first fashion week post of SS10.

Red Door Spa at the Willard InterContinental

I'd heard of the legendary Red Door Spas from the time I was a little girl.

I suppose I'll just have to pick up this lightweight cream-to-powder concealer at their Vogue Fashion’s Night

There is something intangibly magnificent about The Ritz-Carlton's boutique hotel in Georgetown. Writers (yes, I'd like to be one someday) have a long standing tradition of taking up residence in hotel lobbies to do their best work. The Roosevelt Hotel in New York played nurse maid to more than one great American novel by keeping their creators well nourished with a diet of seemingly endless insp
