Beauty Buzz: Feeling Glossy

By |January 28th, 2009|Beauty Buzz|

My hair has never been shinier and that is all thanks to having a gloss (or glaze) put on my hair.  My hairdresser had suggested it before, but I figured it was just a way to tack on another $50 to my bill.  Well, technically it is, especially when you can now do the same treatment at home at a fraction of the price.

A gloss essentially is a shiny seal over your hair follicle that helps your color stay longer, your hair look shinier, and fends off excessive damage from styling. You can use it every time you wash your hair or once a week as a deep conditioning treatment.

Here is a great one by Frederic Fekkai. At $28 it’s a little steep, but totally worth it.  John Frieda also makes a gloss and it does the same thing for $7.89. That’s a steal!

Red Carpet Recap: SAG Awards Red Carpet 2009

By |January 28th, 2009|Celebrity Style, Red Carpet Recap|

Forget the awards, let’s get to the stuff people REALLY care about… the clothes!!!

I hate when critics are too kind to celebrities just because they like them. I get it, she’s America’s sweetheart- blah, blah, blah- but that’s no reason not to tell her her dress is ugly. That’s like not telling your best friend she has spinach in her teeth! Don’t worry, I promise to hold nothing back.

So let’s start off on a good note:

And the Winner Is…

By |January 26th, 2009|Uncategorized|

Tina Fey and her acclaimed show,  30 Rock, had their arms full last night. They took home several awards, but one that Tina should have one and didn’t was “Least Flattering Dress.”

I realize that Tina Fey is no Pamela Anderson, but that is no reason why she shouldn’t be able to look sexy and glamorous on awards night.  I mean, she’s got to know by now that she is going to make it up onto that stage, might as well give us something worth looking at.

The SAG awards are a bit more casual than the other awards shows, but still, her dress last night made my skin itch. I couldn’t even listen to her speech because I was too busy staring at her ta-ta’s (and not for a good reason).  The dress she wore was so ill fitted to her shape that it actually made her boobs look even smaller than they are. Again, I am a fan of the small chested woman as long as she knows what to do with her bug bites. I’m not sure this picture will do the atrocity of a dress any justice, but hopefully you will be able to see what I mean:

Why Did You Wear That: A Little Vindication

By |January 22nd, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

Today is a great day.  Few things could make me happier than knowing I am not alone in my fight against women wearing leggings as pants.

I found an actual “movement” to try and end the leggings as pants epidemic.

Here is an entire website dedicated to the topic: www.tightsarenotpants.com

And here is an amazing reason not to wear leggings as pants. Two words: Tyra Banks.

Keep up the good work.

Why Did You Wear That: Dear Michelle Obama,

Today is a big day for you. Congratulations to you and your family.  You’ve got some serious responsibilities now. Not only will you need to be there to support the most powerful man in the United States, but you are now permanently in the public eye…. Whether you like it or not.  So as you know, this means everything you wear will be scrutinized by the general population.

A few things I can already tell you like:

  • color
  • belts
  • cardigans
  • khaki pants

I give you a lot of credit for wearing color. You’ve already sported purple, orange, red, lime green, and turquoise. All of these colors are wonderful with your complexion, however, I think we need to work on figuring out the shapes that work on your body. Like many women, you are fuller through the hips than you are up top (pear shaped). Since this is a common problem, it’s also easy to fix.  (more…)
