5 Purple Pumps for Fall
Once again this fall we are going to see a lot of purple in fashion. Purple is a regal color that is sexy and sophisticated. I love dark purple colors (like the Mary Janes down below), but the light lilacs and bright violets are also very fabulous choices. Here we have a five pairs of purple pumps available now at Nordstrom.

Get the Look: Amy Adams
The lovely Amy Adams attended the premiere of her new flick, Julie & Julia, last night and Cover Girl makeup artist Molly Stern created her red carpet look. She says:
“It always seems that inspiration ends up coming from the dress. Last night Amy wore a gorgeous full length Carolina Herrera gown with a charcoal and white pattern speckled with gold beading. So I borrowed from that exquisite color palette. We went for a steel and copper smoky lid, gorgeous full… More »
Soft ‘n’ Cheap PJs in 1X
I am totally buying these soft green pajamas from Kohl’s. They look like they drape beautifully, perfect for being paired with a satin robe and silly slippers. Isn’t it wonderful when you find something in your size that’s 100% UN-plus? These look just like PJs my skinny minnie friends wear, except sized for my more generous rump. ;)
Since the pieces are sold separately, I’d almost spring for the cami even if I weren’t shopping for pajamas, because it looks like… More »
Getting Deeper Into Barefoot Tess
Do you shop at Barefoot Tess? I’ve been exploring over there for some time, and let me tell you, they’ve definitely done an overhaul on their offerings as well as their general layout. It’s a lot more user-friendly, which nobody could ever complain about, and I think that the descriptions of the shoes just look better now. I’m not sure what they tweaked over there, but I’m enjoying it.
Why was I checking out Barefoot Tess today, you ask? I was… More »
Torrid’s Modeling Contest Is Almost Over
There’s a week left in the Torrid House of Dreams Model Search, and models/potential models from age 16 and size 12-26 are welcome to apply. Applications need to be submitted by August 7th, and you can either email or snail mail them. You need to submit two of your best pics, so it sounds like it’s time to get snapping (or poring over those 5x7s)!
Since plus-size modeling contests are few and far between, I urge anyone who’s interested in plus modeling… More »
Tori Spelling unveils new Q-Tip Vanity Pack
Celebrities are fun to follow for fashion purposes, but sometimes style can go beyond what you’re wearing. If you wear make-up, you already know how much value a simple Q-Tip can hold. I use mine regularly, mostly for smudging purposes or to wipe away makeup that ended up where it shouldn’t me (like mascara on my brow bone!). However, I keep mine in my vanity cupboard because a big cardboard box of Q-Tips doesn’t really work… More »
Vintage Ivory Clam Style Bridal Clutch
I know I’ve already written about clutches this week, but this one is such an amazing deal that I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t tell you about it. Besides, whatever you think you know about your wedding day, you really will need a bag to carry things like checks for vendors and lipgloss in. And if you want something understated, elegant, and inexpensive, here’s a great option.
This satin clamshell clutch from the 1980′s is perfect… More »
Gwen Criss Cross Jumpsuit by Dolce Vita
I just found out that a shoe company that I really love, Dolce Vita, also makes clothes. Their shoes are hip, high quality interpretations of high design styles at affordable prices, and their clothing line seems about the same. If this jumpsuit is what their clothing line is all about, then I can’t wait to see more.
This 100% silk jumpsuit is about as summer sexy as I can imagine one article of clothing to be. I love the tiny pintucked… More »
3 Tee Shirt Grab Bag at Krudmart
Holy hipster grab bags! I have always been a bit of a gambler, and also a bit of a bargain hunter. So, when I get a chance to be both at the same time, well, I really couldn’t be happier. Krudmart carries the hottest hipster tees, and when they get down to only one or two of them, they throw them in a grab bag of three which you can have for a paltry thirty bucks.
Now, obviously, I can’t tell… More »
Bobbi Brown Ivy League Makeup Collection
New for Fall 2009 is Bobbi Brown’s Ivy League. A collection of colors reminiscent of the late 80′s and the whole preppy craze. If preppy isn’t your thing, don’t fret…these shades can be worn casual or glam in true Bobbi style.
“Pencils are back in a big way for fall. They’re quick, mistake-proof and can go from subtle to bold in one easy
stroke.” –Bobbi Brown

Miranda Kerr to Celebrate 50 Years
No, not her 50 years! Supermodel Miranda Kerr arrived in Sydney, Australia yesterday (July 30) for the Vogue Magazine’s 50th birthday party which is today. She looks so pretty just strolling through the airport with her luggage. Miranda is currently dating Hollywood star Orlando Bloom, who I guess didn’t go with her to Australia. Maybe he will join later? According to NewsoftheWorld, Orlando turned down a role in the fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean”… More »
Satin & Swarovski Wedges by Aruna Seth
I used to be really dismissive towards Swarovski-encrusted items. Until this winter, when I visited the Swarovski store in Rockefeller Center, and saw all the crazy, ornate, and fabulous things that can be made out of the famous Austrian crystals. So, forget every gaudy crystal encrusted cell phone you’ve seen some socialite bimbo carrying, and try to look at these shoes with fresh eyes.
Bling bang boom. Wow. These are some serious bridal shoes. And while I am not always a… More »
Room Remodel Starts with Home Fragrance
I’ve been looking around my home, dreaming of a makeover. I will get to it all, eventually, but some of the purchases I want (and need) to make are pricey. I need a new couch, for one thing. The one that I have is comfy – everyone mentions this when they sit on it – but it’s broken and I’m worried that at some point one of my guests is going to let out a hearty laugh and break through… More »
