Miley Doesn’t Support “The Girls”
Miley. Miley, Miley, Miley…I feel like somewhere along the way you forgot that being 16 is a one year deal. And even though you’re surrounded by paparazzi while you’re trying to impress your older boyfriend by jogging down the street…there is one thing you should always have with you -
A bra.
See, you know how great it is to be young and not have to worry about these things? That’s temporary. And unless you think the ladies sagging down to your… More »
DIY Wedding Flowers
Flowerbud to the Rescue!
If you have the time, inclination (some might call it insanity), or creativity to do your own wedding flowers, there are a lot of online flower vendors that can help you get the materials you need. For my wedding, which is relatively small in scale and simple in decor, I am using tulips in mason jars as centerpieces. Since I have bought several bouquets from Flowerbud in the past, I decided to give them a try. I… More »
Miche Bag Is Cool!
Waking up to an infomercial showing me a purse that could turn into other designs with the help of different “shells” is something I’d probably never forget in my life. That’s a weird fact to admit but working in the fashion, shopping, and beauty industry as well as loving it makes that statement a normal thing to say. Now back to the bag with different “shells”. It’s actually called Miche Bag.
You are not looking at 20 bags. Actually, that’s 1… More »
Chloe Sevigny X Opening Ceremony Fall 09
Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together
Indie actress Chloe Sevigny has been a cult fashion icon for years, and now she has teamed up with another cult favorite, fashion house Opening Ceremony, to create her own line. I, for one, am psyched. The looks are all unisex and totally across the board in terms of influences. Two of my favorite looks from the upcoming line is this super deconstructed sweater with the drop crotch pants, and the startling combination of… More »

Men’s Fashion Quotes
For your weekend’s interesting read, here are a few men’s fashion and styling quotes from famous people that I found from Esquire’s Handbook of Style. I hope you learn a thing or two.
CARY GRANT : All it takes are a few simple outfits. And ther’s one secret – The Simpler The Better.

JERRY SEINFELD : If you’ve got a t-shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe… More »
Rock your pony
Sometimes, it’s just a pony tail day – that doesn’t mean it has to be a boring one.
I am loving the pony tail holders from Di Manno Designs, especially the crystal encrusted black leather pictured at right. At $65, it may seem a bit pricey for a hair accessory – but if you are looking for that special finishing touch to your formal event outfits, this may be right up your alley…. More »
Sean Penn Likes His Monochromatic Suits
Stylists said monochromatic suits are supposed to be out this year. I say, who cares, right? Sean Penn is never shy in letting people know he really doesn’t care what people think of him. I highly doubt he pays attention to what’s in or out in Men’s Fashion this 2009 or any year for that matter.
Sean Penn wore a monochromatic suit during the Oscar’s. He’s wearing another one at the 34th Annual Cesar Awards. Let’s give the guy his… More »
Pale is the new tan
I’m actually totally fibbing – but I do own a t-shirt that says that, and it’s part of my plot to feel less bad about being the pasty white chick on the beach each season.
It doesn’t have to be that way!
Jergens sent me their new natural glow foaming Daily Moisturizer, and I am already a fan. It is a moisturizer, but it also helps to give that “sun glow” without that icky orange self-tanner look. (It ain’t a tanner, at… More »
Rachel Bilson Goes Grungy Chic
When I first saw this photo of Rachel, I thought – seriously? This is cute little Miss Vixen from The OC? Who has rage blackouts and can’t decide which bonehead guy she wants to date? Seriously?
California cool is out the window and it appears Bilson is instead attempting to bring back the days of Seattle grunge…but with polka dots thrown in the mix.
Though the rumors are true and Rachel is (actually) getting married, I don’t think this new level… More »
Marc Ecko Stainless Steel Skull Watch
If you have been an avid reader of She Knows Best then you should know by now how much I prefer Men’s watches. If you didn’t, well now you do :) . I usually go for the Men’s wide leather bands but I saw this Marc Ecko stainless steel watch and I like it. The iced skull design accented with Swarovski crystal is very cool. It actually doesn’t look like a watch but more like a bracelet. The description… More »
Lauren Ralph Lauren Long Pearl Necklace
While waiting for my hair color to settle at the hair salon today I was reading the January 2009 issue of Good Housekeeping Magazine. In one of their little fashion feature, the magazine was talking about how a long pearl necklace, single or double strand could make a look chic and sophisticated.
I agree. I do have the classic choker pearl necklace but I also have a long single strand pearl necklace that I found from a Flea Market. I like… More »

SpongeBob Is Now A 64GB USB Drive Of Storage Goodness!
I used to dislike SpongeBob. I hated it when I would catch my brother watching SpongeBob, and I would hear Spongebob’s annoying voice.
It drove me insane.
But now I have a new found respect for SpongeBob as he is now the face of a 64GB USB drive!
WOW! 64GB!!!!!
Memorette launched this square-shaped 64GB USB drive in Korea this month and is expected to be displayed at the upcoming CeBIT 2009.
No news on the pricing.
*shakes head* SpongeBob. Really, of all things!

Kate Moss – Put on a Skirt!
Earlier this week, Kate Moss was seen on the streets of London, walking with a friend toward the Queens Pub. With gift in hand, looks like they are headed to a party.
Though Kate’s bright pink v-neck top is a hot choice, what’s with the leggings? Hot? Umm … NOT!
This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I don’t care if you are skinny as Kate or as large as Oprah, I don’t want to see leggings with just a top…. More »
Dear Lohan, It’s Time To Grow Up
Oh poor lost lala Lohan. Lindsay, I worry that you never quite bounced back from your last bout of “I’m depressed and crazy” but this look your sporting is circa Lindsay Lohan breakdown 2005. Nothing new here, so really…are you feeling blue or is this now just how you’re going to look? I’m still hopeful that hideous slouchy bags, pleather jackets and candy colored hair are simply a quick stop before full makeover. Even though people applauded your coming out… More »
