Style Stealers, the Fashion Do’s and Don’ts

Just Say NO!!! Looks from the runway that ran away... Fashion do's and dont's from the runway that ran away. When photos speak a gazillion words... Be sure these no-no's are not seen on you. When photos speak a gazillion words... Be sure these fashion no-no's are not seen on you. 'Nuff said. Girl, we know it's true--you didn't just run out of the house, we caught you with those shopping bags. Curlers (who the heck uses them now anyway???) are not a fashion accessory!!!

Fan-tastic!…

Fashion Do's and Don'ts Gallery of Concert Cool Fan-tastic! Fashion Do's and Don'ts Gallery of Concert Cool. Your best friend calls you because she's clueless about what to wear-- just as you were about to race out of the door to meet her. And you know her clothing conundrum is right on… this time. There's that kooky feeling about deciding what to wear to a rock or pop concert. Somehow, some feel a certain sense of respect in dressing in the style of the star (perish the thought at the Michael Jackson concert). Others feel a need to make believe they are the back-up dancers and yank out a get-up truly not meant for sore eyes. From drop-dead cool to

Out Of Sight…

Thong To The Rescue Thong to the Rescue.. The underwear to wear under the lightest looks. Those summer white jeans sure do look fresh, but what about the backend? Forget about the Bosanova. Blame this on the hip-swaying mama ahead of me in SoHo the other day. Why waste a good look with undies that want to take you for a ride? It doesn't matter that you don't have a hair out of place, you've got the latest look, or toned yourself silly into swimsuit shape, if your panties rear their ugly outline. We are talking about the definitive demise of VPl (that's Visible Panty Line). Here's some fashion advice-- take a clue from models who must be prepared for

Get a heads up as to what trends are to be seen on television's most fashionable show, HBO Sex and the City on Sarah Jessica Parker. Gosh, I love NYC buses… if only I had more time to spend on them. Imagine a cross section of a roaming window on what's happening combined with the most expressive peanut gallery and you've got NYC Transit in a quasi-cracked nutshell. While trudging up Madison Avenue yesterday, there was a certain loquacious skirmish going on as everyone scampered to the rear right bus windows. SHOPPING GUIDE: Scarves Oooh, the thrill of seeing HBO Sex and the City filmed right before our traffic jam glazed eyes. While the not so celeb siting jaded were

Positively Premama…

maternity clothing you'll want to wear Who says you can't be preggers and dress cool on the cheap? Who says you can't be preggers and dress cool on the cheap? Forget about those make-you-even-queasier cheesy frocks that pull up memories of a very pregnant Lucy Ricardo or a total designer wardrobe that will set you back a toddlerhood worth of art, music, gymnastics, dance, and pre-school tuition. Now, you don't have to spend a fortune to be in style and be in a family way since Mom-to-Be launched. Just think, new baby, Old Navy. Funky tee's, denim jackets, cutesy capri's… all in of the-moment styles to keep you in the groove until the last trimester. Like GapMaternity, the stuff's only

Sock It To Me…

The shortie sock (aka : the anklet) is "it" Forget about blisters this summer!The shortie sock is IT in a big way. Forget about blisters this summer! The shortie sock is IT in a big way. It's not the bobby soxer or the little girl anklet. It's a nod to 80's retro, but not the frilly Madonna "Like A Virgin" kind. The shortie sock--like this gumball pink one from Hue-- has a distinct touch of modern funkiness-- bold colors, wild prints, edgy lace, and wacky textures. Most important, it's worn with high-heel stunners, updated wedgies, or pointy flats. Besides the fact that the shortie sock is sooo of-the-moment cute, we like them because they are way more comfortable than stuffing

Sniffing Around…

The Good, the Bad, and the Stinky from Perfume to Masking Body Odor three nose-tickling questions solved Removing Perspiration Odor from Clothing Dear Sharon: A friend borrowed my new formal dress. After she wore it, she had the dress dry cleaned before returning it. However, when I removed the dress from the drycleaner's bag, I was overwhelmed by the smell of body odor. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get this smell out? --B.O. Plenty (Waco, TX)Dear Plenty: Okay, okay, you can unscrunch your face now, a dress that Smells Like Teen Spirit is not my kind of Nirvana either. There's nothing quite as funky as being bowled over by B.O..You would think that dry cleaning can remove heavy perspiration odor, however if your friend was really party-hardy sweaty, then that kind

Get a Gym Bunny Body with At-Home Workouts…

Top fitness trends to try at home from Pilates to belly dancing Dear Sharon: I just don’t have enough hours in a day! In a perpetual time crunch, rather than a stomach crunch, I find myself ditching exercise classes because I can’t spare the half hour that it takes to get to the gym and back. I hate the way that I look and feel these days, but still can’t get motivated to squeeze in a trip to the gym. Is there anything new and interesting in the way of at-home exercise? If I felt that I would actually use something on a regular basis, I would even consider buying equipment to keep in my basement. Please fill me in before I turn to complete flab! --Workout Withdrawal
