Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm (aka That Pink Stick Featured in ALL the K-Dramas)
My absolute favorite thing about the Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm is the beautiful light scent, which I love. It takes me back in time to whatever products my mother used on her face when we lived in Korea. Obviously, she wasn’t using a stick balm, since they didn’t exist back then. But the fragrance is so familiar to me that it feels like home.
North Face: These boots were made for walking
I love boots. Besides providing warmth and traction, they also cover up a multitude of sins, such as cankles, unflattering pants and general slovenliness. And not that I’m into cosplay — because I’m not (not that there’s anything wrong with it) — but when I wear boots, I feel spritely. Like an elf. Not the Will Ferrell kind of elf, but the Legolas/Galadriel kind. Anyone else? No? Just me? Alrighty then… Moving on.
Go Away With … Amsale Aberra
Fashion designer Amsale Aberra — known professionally simply as Amsale — is synonymous with upscale wedding gowns that can cost brides $75,000. Aberra stars in the WE tv reality series “Amsale Girls,” which focuses on the brides who frequent her New York boutique and the women who help them pick out their fantasy dresses.
Go Away With … Monica Pedersen
HGTV designer Monica Pedersen can be seen regularly on programs such as “Bang for Your Buck,” where she shows homeowners how to maximize their living space and beautify their homes. A well-seasoned traveler, Pedersen — who resides in the Midwest — sees the potential in taking trips to Wisconsin, as well as heading overseas for a longer family vacation.
Go Away With … Julie Henderson
Julie Henderson loves the beach, whether she’s on vacation or shooting a layout for Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue. “I’m such a sunshine, beach and water type of girl,” says the 23-year-old model. She’s making her fourth appearance in the magazine this year. “I’ll always take a beach over somewhere else.”
Go Away With … Rebecca Minkoff
Rebecca Minkoff, whose line of handbags is a favorite with A-list celebrities, says though she enjoys a nice hotel with a luxurious spa, it’s also fun to “rough it a bit and carry everything you need on your back.” Though she could easily create a chic knapsack for herself, Minkoff says her practical side uses her Samsonite backpack, which she admits should work well for her for a few more trips.
It takes little effort to find affordable jeans
Jessica Simpson favors Escada’s designer jeans ($2,550) and Claire Danes has been known to “slum” it in a pair of Zac Posen’s limited-edition creations for 7 for All Mankind ($995). Yet most of us would like to spend $100 or less for denim. Preferably much less.
Lip service: To plump or not to plump
Everyone wants a fat lip these days. At a time when some women are extreme dieting and exercising to achieve a waif-er thin aesthetic, they’re doing everything they can to create puffy, full lips glamorized by Hollywood stars.
Style experts offer tips on how to look chic this fall
We realize it isn’t even officially summer yet, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t prepare you for this autumn’s top trends. It’s all about premium denim, luxe fur and eye-catching details.
Summer’s watermark
Colorful hardware, sexy cutouts and flirty designs define what’s in for this year’s swimwear. Inspired by designer creations seen on the runways of Paris, New York and Milan, bathing suits have a more sophisticated — yet still fun — look this season. And, they’re available at prices for all types of budgets.
Glam Rocks to aid Art Institute
By Jae-Ha Kim Chicago Sun-Times May 10, 2005 Marshall Fields’ Glamorama takes a walk on the wild side this year with Glam Rocks — a high-energy mesh of fashion and rock ‘n’ roll. Tickets for […]
In the trenches
Listen up, ladies. Forget the notion that trench coats are nothing more than boring outerwear to protect us from April showers. This year’s trench options aren’t staid. They’re fashion statements.
Better luck next year
As 2004 draws to a close, we can’t help but wonder how some of America’s wealthiest women managed to dress so poorly. Could the stylists be having private jokes at their clients’ expense? Whatever the reason, these are grown women who should’ve known better. So Paris, Ivana and Britney — we hope you’re reading. It’s time for a makeover. We don’t want to see you back here next year.
All signs point toward glamor-heavy holiday fashions
We know. Thanksgiving isn’t for another few weeks and Christmas is almost two months down the line. But trust us. It’s never too early to do a little reconnaissance work when it comes to searching for that perfect holiday dress. Forget about understated. Go for full-out glam, because every woman and her sister will be dressed to thrill.
Lori Petty’s shirts shout truth and beauty
Lawd knows Lori Petty’s a busy woman. She’s an actress, painter, director and writer. But that hasn’t stopped the quirky actress from adding designer to her list of credits. Best known for her work in “A League of Their Own” and “Point Break,” Petty has a year-old line of casual wear called Lawd Knows that reflects her inspirational side.
Singing the praises of finely dressed operagoers
For women of a certain generation, figuring out what to wear to a gala, ball or some other grand black-tie extravaganza is as simple as stepping into a favorite gown and heels. But for those who have never been to one before, getting dressed up for a really fancy event can be a daunting affair.
Good riddance
Comfortable thongs. What a fashion lie. There is nothing even remotely comfy about a piece of fabric made to deliberately wedge its way up your, um, bum. Yet as women’s clothing became more sheer and form-fitting in the late 1990s, everyday fashionistas and their little sisters turned to the thong to rid themselves of the dreaded panty line.
Michael Phelps: Olympians’ swimwear works in water and with the ladies
Michael Phelps may not have matched Mark Spitz’s record seven gold medals, but the Olympic swimmer has him beat hands-down when it comes to style. The 19-year-old — who won six gold and two bronze medals at last month’s Olympic games in Athens — set tongues wagging when he competed in Speedos that rode down so low on his hips they made Britney Spears’ outfits seem demure by comparison.
