Jane Badler, Age-Appropriate Fabulous

I'll Have What She's Having: Sleek, chic, and sexy at a certain age. Young girls dressed like old ladies. Middle-age woman dressed like young chiquitas. It can get confusing. At a certain point, you may still have the body to wear a bandage micro-mini dress (god bless you) but really should know better.

Because she looks stylish, vital and in control. >>MORE: Age Appropriate Style Jane Badler at the "V" Season 2 Photocall in Madrid There's nothing fussy or girly to drag her down.

God Save the Queen & the Brown Suede Shoe!

Red Carpet Hair- French Chic Chignon for Julianna Margulies at the Golden Globes

When too many actresses chose to over do their hair, here's one look that keeps it simple and chic YES, please do try this classic French chignon at home... There absolutely can be too much of a good thing! Close-up of Julianna Margulies Sorry to report, but there were far too many actresses who opted for big fashion and big hair at Sunday's Golden Globes... a fashion victim combination that did nothing for the star herself but became a walking ad for the heavy-handed stylists who put her together. SEE: Golden Globe Fashion Photos Confession: I was waiting for a one actress to wear a diamond studded sandwich board mentioning all her fashion credits. In all that frou-frou frippery, a

Schoolgirl Satchel Bag at Great Price In Fab Colors from Cambridge Satchel Company

Old school elegance with a twist It's about that time in the season when we can use a boost. A midseason replacement bag, if you will. Not quite ready for spring and a bit tired of what's left over from fall. Our hobo bag is getting a bit tired, but with all the electronic gadgets in the world, there still is a certain degree of nonsense that we lug everyday and a munchkin bag really won't do the trick. Cambridge Satchel Company at ASOS I was doing a bit of online window shopping and came up this adorable classic with a twist shoulder bag from the Cambridge Satchel Company over at asos. It is a great midseason picker-upper, which you

Stylish Puffer Coats in Down or Fiber-Fill for Snow Day Chic

Let it snow 'cause you're warm, cozy & chic! My gosh, this holiday blizzard has so many of us scampering for some snow day chic. Just when you thought you had your winter coat situation covered, you realize that cashmere or wool double-breasted really won't do the trick in a blizzard. There's nothing that wrecks my nerves more than to spot an otherwise style savvy woman in running around the city with a ski parka (worse with the ancient lift ticket dangling) or shivering her petunias off in a wimpy light jacket. Be prepared and look good too! The new breed of down or fiber-filled (better for those with allergies) puffer coats have enough urban style power, like the Mackage

Bianca Jagger Rocks Roberto Cavalli Like A White Horse

I'll Have What She's Having: I've been mesmerized by her style since Studio 54 Think of this as post kismet... or some odd coincidence of If You Could Read My Mind. Just as Brad Boles and I were reminiscing about Disco Sally and Studio 54, this photo of the eternally gorgeous Bianca Jagger, dressed in a green caftan by Roberto Cavalli, turns up in my inbox! Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood but as a Native New Yorker, 54 and Disco Nights were part of my coming of age. Enough tired Studio 54 music puns, but it is hard for me to not make the association as seeing Bianca on the dance floor or lounging on a sofa are iconic
