For smashingly soft lips, try this heaven in a jar. Sister to la Mer’s marine based Miracle Broth, Crème de la Mere, this product does all it promises by leaving lips smoother, softer, and more supple than ever before.
Work it.

This stunner must be good at her job. In this outfit, she is “marketing” all of her best assets.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and your bag was only big enough for 3 items, what would they be?
Favorite beauty product: Karen Scott capillary concealer.
Style icon: I don’t really have one. I like the way Rachel Bilson dresses…. I’ll guess I’ll embrace that one.
This summer I can’t wait to wear: My new stripper bikini from a random store in Hollywood. Yes, I’m serious. I really love it.
Style tip for all the fashion degenerates: Don’t try so hard to be “different.” You just look like everyone else trying to be different… be yourself!
Best Splurge (it was worth every penny): My T3 Featherweight Hair Dryer Tourmaline Professional Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer – I swear by it, my hair should be falling out at this point… but it’s still going strong!
Trend you’d like to see die: MC hammer pants aren’t hot unless you have a 4 foot crotch.
Currently coveting: The perfect black clutch. Potentially Tory Burtch’s Reva Clutch? Not 100% though…any ideas?
Fun fact: I really love the city of Pittsburgh. It is the most amazing place in the world! City of Champs!
Biggest personal fashion flop: WHY DID I think it was okay to wear belly shirts in 2005?
Well, Jen, we’ll forgive you for the crop tops cause it looks like since then, you’ve been doing all the “Wright” things.

A dear friend of mine, “Pinky Toe”, sent me some pictures after she left the East Coast for the Left Coast. The subject line of the email was “you’re welcome.” Pinky sends me lots of amazing things- she’s my bestie, after all, so I wasn’t really sure what I was in store for. I was so beyond horrified by them…that I needed to know two things: 1) where the hell did she find these people?, 2) Why oh WHY was she around such specimens?
I would have written the commentary myself, but her response was so beyond brilliant, that I figured I couldn’t have possibly worded it better myself:

“the first two atrocities were spotted at an Academy Awards After-Party at the Beverly Hills hotel… a classy venue that you may recognize from the film “troop Beverly hills”. These women were executing one of my favorite combinations to photograph; Arrogance, coupled with ignorance. They both pranced, and posed and were so confident in their offensive outfits, that i had no choice but to help them make fools of themselves.
The last girl is a poor unfortunate soul that i came across at an east side dive bar called “little joy”. The kind of place where you’d like to wipe the rim before enjoying your drink… so please tell me why she’s rocking the worlds most offensive… muu-muu. If you have a boxy frame, low boobs and a flat ass, God help me to understand why you wear a shapeless dress like this. the Jill Zarin Haircut and Gold Steve madden sandals dont help either. The poor thing told me who made the dress (i want to say Catherine Malandrino or some other big name European designer) but i was so blinded by the ugly, that my ears regurgitated the information.xo” I’m sure after reading her explanation, you can’t help but understand why I consider her one of my very best friends. Not just anyone can convince women to give them front and back “head to toes” and then write such witty and poignant follow up. xx, WhyDid |
This California girl is a real natural beauty (and another east coast transplant). Her eclectic style is the epitome of east meets west.

Occupation: Ambassador of Sole, TOMS Shoes
Hometown: Pelham, New York
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and your bag was only big enough for 3 items, what would they be? cherry chapstick (because I’m addicted), the perfect pair of jean cut-offs, and a good fashion magazine… I mean book.
Favorite beauty product: Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. Any day now I’m going to learn to apply makeup…
Style icon: My grandmother.
This summer I can’t wait to wear: TOMS Shoes Cordones line (Hipper TOMS, with laces!)
Style tip for all the fashion degenerates: If you’re showing major leg, cover up on top and vice versa.
Best Splurge (it was worth every penny): Pauric Sweeney black overnight purse. Great for an everyday computer tote or airport carry-on.
Trend you’d like to see die: Orange spray tans ruin even the prettiest of outfits.
Currently coveting: an unfussy floral dress that won’t wrinkle in my suitcase. Looking forward to scooping one up in New York next weekend.
Fun fact: it’s my birthday!
Biggest personal fashion flop: wearing leggings more days than not this winter.
Tisk tisk on the leggings, Katie lady, but we’ll let it slide. We love that you put your heart and “sole” into your style.

This sexy on screen siren is so en fuego, I had to choose two photos of her. Originally an East Coaster, she has now transplanted herself to the West Coast.
Wearing: blouse- Club Monaco, shorts- The Limited, cardigan- vintage, gold lurex belt- vintage (courtesy of her mother, Becky Marshall- thanks, mom!)
Wearing:dashiki- Emanuel Ungaro (courtesy of one of her bff’s), wooden bangle- vintage (see, mixing designer with vintage is so chic).

Favorite beauty product: Origins “Never a Dull Moment” exfoliating scrub, Rembrandt whitening trays
Style icon: MK Olsen
This summer, I can’t wait to wear: Rompers, jumpsuits, halters, and linen
Style tip for all the fashion degenerates: “Less is more.” Oh, and if you think you look fat in something, chances are you probably do.
Best splurge (it was worth every penny): Marc Jacobs double breasted military coat
Trend you’d like to see die: Peep toe booties
Currently coveting:Erin Wasson’s wardrobe, body, and life.
Fun Fact:I plan to single handedly bring back full bottom underwear. I’m sick and tired of bikini briefs being shoved to the back of the drawer and only worn you-know-when. Enough!
Biggest personal fashion flop:At times, my cameltoe can be offensive.
Well, Miss Marshall, with those looks and all that spunk, I get the feeling we will be seeing a lot more of your face. (And we’re pretty happy about that).
