Beauty Buzz: American Beauty

By |July 4th, 2014|Beauty Buzz|

fourth of july makeupYou know how I like a good theme party?  Well, call me a hipster, but I really only like them when they’re ironic.  The thought of green on St. Patrick’s Day makes me want to punch a leprechaun and please don’t think for one split second you’ll catch me this weekend wearing star spangled swimwear.  But before you call me a wet blanket, I understand the importance of being patriotic.  I know of the need for all-American nail art and the importance of playing along.  Better than flaunting a flag outright?  Add some red, white, and blue to your makeup bag… making you a true American beauty.

Monday Mashup: Do Blondes Have More Fun?

By |December 6th, 2010|Monday Mashup|

We know that they all say blondes have more fun, but is that really true? I’ve always been a blonde, myself… though I did go through a phase (much to my mother’s horror) where I started dying the underside of my hair dark… Thanks a lot, Xtina. Anyway, I wonder if there is any truth to the saying… I’ve let mine get quite a bit darker over the past few months but after seeing this, I may need to reconsider:

I actually had no idea who Emma Stone was up until a few months ago, but I find her strangely beautiful. Kind of like a hot alien. Last night, she debuted her new blonde ‘do at Trevor Live in Hollywood. She’s beautiful as a redhead, but I think she’s a showstopper as a blonde. The new haircolor is for an upcoming part, but I’m thinking she may want to stick with this shade. What do you think?

*(Thanks to the reader who informed me I had the wrong Emma. STONE not WATSON! Ugh. Can’t keep all these young beauties straight! Does that mean I’m getting old?)

Why Did You Wear That: Are belts men’s handbags?

By |December 2nd, 2008|Somethin for the fellas, Why Did You Wear That?|

Last night we went to Malini Murjani’s (www.malinim.com) trunkshow at Norwood. She designs really beautiful exotic handbags as well as exquisite belts.

One of my very dear guy friends had his heart set on a really fantastic leather belt with one of a kind buckle and amazing metal details. The belt was a little too short for him, but he was really desperate for this belt.

I started to wonder… since guys really don’t have the opportunity to accessorize like girls, are belts their equivalent?

A pretty much standard outfit for a stylish man in New York City consists of jeans (ideally dark and straight leg), button down, blazer, and nice shoes. This really doesn’t leave them a lot of room to express themselves. My handsome (and single, ladies) friend was essentially wearing just that. God love him, he was wearing distressed True Religions though, which he explained was because he was trying to add a little something different to his otherwise standard outfit. (I then made him promise that we would burn these jeans this weekend, which he agreed to).

So that’s when I realized, belts are men’s handbags.

Moschino, $175

King Baby Studio, $175

Or you can purchase individual belt buckles at belts.com
