Could prairie skirts be making a comeback?

I've always loved CNN correspondent Jeanne Moos, but her story today has me giggling more than usual. Check out Project Runway's Tim Gunn critiquing the "polygamist look" with Mo Rocca. Marc Jacobs, are you listening?

And for my next trick...

Sunday, June 29, 2008

I am writhing around like Harry Houdini in a straight jacket, and I still can’t get out of this stupid tunic top. Panic is setting in. My heart starts to fibrillate. What am I going to do? The department store dressing rooms are full, people are waiting, and I’m trapped inside a little “boho chic” number that’s obviously a size-and-a-half too small.

Life by Number: 10 do-it-yourself toes

Thursday, June 26, 2008

It wasn't as bad as I thought. My first home pedicure in years and I didn't spill polish on the carpet or throw out my back while "assuming the position." And I saved a cool 50 bucks to apply to my monthly gasoline bill. (I did miss the lovely massaging spa chair, though.)

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

A $148 little number that Michelle Obama recently wore on "The View" sold out quickly on the White House/Black Market Web site. But you can still buy it, if you're willing to wait.

OPI has a hit with Nic's Sticks

Monday, June 16, 2008

Like most baby boomers who came of age in the 70s, I'll try just about anything once. Need a lab rat? I'm your gal...especially if it involves getting free stuff in the mail, like this cool nail polish product from OPI, compliments of SheSpeaks.com.

Revolution from the roots

Saturday, June 14, 2008

Anne Kreamer wants to start a revolution. A revolution that grows, literally, from the roots. The author stopped coloring her hair at age 48 after seeing a photograph of herself that didn’t ring true.

From alabaster to golden

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Last year I found that I was spending too much time and money applying cream lotions and sprays in an effort to achieve that bronze glow. More often than not the results were streaky or artificial looking. Not to mention that tan itself was receiving a lot of bad press.

Lisa Perry's 12 favorite things

Sunday, June 8, 2008
