Why Did You Wear That: Warm, Fuzzy Feelings.
I was actually in the middle of writing a completely different blog, when I stumbled upon something that I knew I MUST share. After googling for fur earmuffs, I stumbled upon a little gem of a website called Fur Hat World. (I will probably receive a phone call from PETA after this…) I will now share with you some of my favorite finds from said website. You are very, very, VERY, welcome in advance.
Why build a snowman when you can BE one?
You’re not seeing spots…. That’s right, those are rhinestones.
Keep warm on your paper route, folks.
Because you just NEVER know when you may need a pink leather hat.
I have to apologize for not including the fur scrunchie in my original post. Please forgive me.
Oh, and don’t worry, fellas… there are hats for you too!!
Who needs a toupee when you have a fur hat like this?
Take your next “Pimp and Ho” party to the next level…
And for my very favorite, the coup d’etat… (brace yourselves)
This is what happened to the coyote who ate Jessica Simpson’s maltipoo, Daisy.
There were just SO MANY to choose from that I could only select a few of my favorites, but you could probably go ahead and waste a good hour to an hour and a half perusing all of the amazing choices of fur headgear. Enjoy.

WhyDid Wisdom: Blue is NOT Your Color
Even with all the beauty tips and hottest fashion, real beauty comes from within. That’s why it’s always important to give back. Instead of buying that new pair of Manolo’s how about donating to a worthwhile cause? Often times we are feeling so sorry for ourselves we can’t seem to think about anyone else, but the best way to get through your own troubles is to help someone who is less fortunate. Trust me, it could always be worse. Check out these notable causes and start feeling beautiful from the inside out.
Summit On the Summit
Over one billion people on this planet do not have access to clean water. Something you and I take for granted every single day. Beyond that, every fifteen seconds, a child dies of a preventable water-related disease. Join Jessica Biel, Lupe Fiasco, Kenna, Isabel Lucas, Elizabeth Gore, and several others in their fight for clean water by visiting www.summitonthesummit.com and donating to the cause. They will be climbing 19,340 feet to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for clean water.
Children’s Cancer Research Fund
The Children’s Cancer Research Fund has raised almost $100 million in funds from high end events and fundraisers since 1980. This money is used to invest in the research for a cure for childhood cancer. There are several ways you can help including donations, volunteering, and holding your own fundraisers. Visit www.childrenscancer.org to find out how you can make a difference in a child’s life.
American Humane
American Humane has been protecting animals and children since 1877. Through several different programs they have raised not only money, but also awareness about the cruelty daily affecting children and animals. Visit their website (www.americanhumane.org) to learn how you can become a part of the movement to protect our country’s most precious resources.
See, you’re looking better already.

Beauty Buzz: Layers without Losing the Length
When I burst through the doors of Ryan Darius salon last week, I informed Ryan and TJ that I was in need of some seriously sexy “breakup hair.” To this statement they exclaimed, “We LOVE breakup hair!!” As you already know, I don’t believe in chopping off or dying your locks after a traumatic experience. We get it, you need change, but that’s no reason to make yourself look average!
Originally, I was thinking about adding some sassy layers or perhaps a sexy swooping bang, but as I talked to Ryan, he realized I was actually not willing to lose one centimeter of my painstakingly long grown hair. So, a lightbulb went off in that beautiful head of his. He suggested we add more hair to my mane, then he would layer the hair that he added, leaving my natural hair unscathed. He informed me this is a rapidly growing trend and then he went to work.
In less than thirty minutes he had applied several Platinum Seamless extensions to my hair. The color matched my hair EXACTLY and you couldn’t even see where they were attached, nor could you feel them. After they were added in, Ryan worked his magic with the flat iron teaching me a new trick to create large curls (which I still have yet to master).

AFTER:
Take that, Olivia Palermo. To top off the royal treatment? The adorable TJ completed a perfect manicure using Butter London lacquer. His picks for the fall? Scoundrel (below) and British Racing Green.
So, if you are in the market for some “breakup hair” or you just simply want to look hot, you need to hightail it in your heels over to Ryan Darius Salon and pay a visit to the uber talented and unbelievably fun Ryan and TJ.

Bundle Up
A good friend of mine just moved to chilly New York from sunny Miami and she’s awfully nervous about the inevitable winter frost. Even though I’ve lived here for a few years now, I still don’t think my blood has thickened. It always comes as quite a shock as to how bitter cold it can get.
In hopes of not turning into a human Frosty the Snowman, I have compiled a list of winter essentials to help keep you warm and happy during the snowy season:
- First and foremost, you’re going to need a warm coat. Preferably one that does not look like a sleeping bag. Here’s a great option available on Bluefly.
Marc New York black quilted fur trim hood belted down jacket, $198
- Next, you’re going to need some walking shoes to get you from Point A (your apartment) to Point B (the train/cab for all you bank rollers) to Point C (your destination).
Mukluk Objiwa Short Boots, $199.95
- And now you’ll need to go ahead and accessorize- hat, gloves, scarf.
Magaschoni Glacier Grey Waffle Knit Cashmere Shawl, $85
- Now that you’re all bundled up, you need to care care of what’s underneath as well. The chill can take a toll on your body and nobody looks cute with chapped lips and cracked skin.
Crazy Rumors A La Mode Lip Balm, $12 for 3 or $4 each
Carol’s Daughter Love Butter, $18
- A warm cocktail can take the chill out of you after a long day. Try this delicious concoction:
Cocoa Raspberry Heaven
Ingredients:
1 oz. plus 1 tsp. raspberry liqueur (Chambord’s nice)
1 oz. white crème de cacao
8 oz. hot chocolate
Whipped cream
1 fresh raspberry (optional)
Preparation:
- Pour raspberry liqueur and white crème de cacao in a cappuccino mug.
- Add hot chocolate and stir.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Drizzle teaspoon of Chambord on top of the whipped cream.
- Top with a fresh raspberry.
- And lastly, the best thing to have to keep you warm during winter? A warm body!! There’s nothing I like better than a cozy cocktail, board games, and snuggling up and staying in. Luckily, I have my furry pal, Smitty. Unfortunately, he’s a great snuggler, but sucks at Scrabble- hence, I’m taking applications. Winter is the perfect time to couple up.
So as the temperatures continue to drop, at least you will be fully prepared to stay warm.
