back in black

black nail polish is making a comeback, kid. from new york fashionistas to bev hills beauties, I've seen all types of ladies (and cutie hipster boys) rocking the stuff. my fave is chanel's limited edition black satin for $18. you can also check out the local pharmacy for a cheapie but fun wet n' wild.

what sign are you?

I've been getting a ton of notes lately from style network viewers asking about where I got the horoscope earrings I wear in the nashville show of the look for less. my good friend meg d. picked them up at boutique in san fran as an xmas gift for me but turns out after a bit o' online research, I also found them at girlprops.com which is not just one of my favie stores in nyc on the corner of west bway and prince but is also a fab online find.

that's unbe-weave-able!

I got my hair did. straight up -- went downtown with my man (who gets his hair chemically straightened - shhh!) and had them put three layers of human hair from asia on my head. these chix know what they are doing. inspired by the modern girls "faking it" episode where I got the temp extensions, I got semi-perm extensions to try out for a while. I went from cutesy to womanly. its fun fer sher to at least test it out. it is pricey so if you are looking to do it, try a wig on or something first so you can see what the end result will look like. check out www.straightperm.com for details.

america's next top man

the other night were the E! upfronts at the ritz-carlton in pasadena and to celebrate, the style network threw a party by the pool for the press. it was a blast! I got to sip fruity drinks with some fab E! talent like joel mchale from the soup, debbie and catt from daily 10, uber-talent ryan seacrest and my new favie, mr. jay from america's next top model who is now taking over the fashion side of things on style and E! this man is like an angel on earth. he glows from within. his hair, clothes, genuine smile and engaging social skills are a perfect recipe for this guy to be the next big thing. I literally had to pry myself away from him as to not appear too stalker-ish. not before he taught me how to stand correctly to pose for the paparazzi. I'm ready for my close-up.

crafty extra credit

back in the college days, when I was burning the midnite nag champa, I would've flipped over the mad fresh line, independent studies available exclusively at target. they've got everything on the cheap that's really almost too cool for, errr, school. A+++

en vogue internationale

if you really want to blow your friends minds, pick up the international copies of vogue, preferably british and italian (big up world cup champs!). they're a bit pricey, but you'll get looks and international fashion gossip long before it hits the states. you'll be loaded with fashionista knowledge and and maybe pick up a new languauge or two, oui?
