Envy This!

The Return of Green Eye Shadow Get your face out of that scrunch! Yes, it's the return of green eyeshadow and you will love it. Get your face out of that scrunch! Yes, it's the return of green eyeshadow and you will love it. Why? Because it's not the polly wanna cracker green that makeover experts have been dissing for years - even though we recently saw Björk strolling through SoHo with a big streak of parrot shadow under her eyes and it looked sooo cool. But that's because it's Björk and she's exceptionally the exception to most things classic. The green of-the-moment is slightly glimmery and more a gentle wash of sage than a sharp hit of astro turf…

THE TRAVELIN' BOOGY-WOOGIE STRESS BUSTING SURVIVAL GUIDE... Tips To Remain Calm, Collected, and Beautiful Tips To Remain Calm, Collected, and Beautiful Sweet sister of strenuous familial baggage, your only defense is a well thought out offence to conquer the travelin' boogy-woogies and soar above the mindless riff-raff rants of those relatives who are too absorbed in their own woe begotten inertia to say anything positive.

Knowing their personalities, you'd probably feel ostracized if they clammed up.

The 3 questions: control frizzies, style balding hair, and men's hairstyles Help, I Look Like A TrollDear Sharon: I am relatively content with my hairstyle, yet family and friends feel I could do better. My hair is extremely heavy and frizzy so I wear it long to weigh the curl down and usually just pin it back or tie it up with a scrunchie- I don't think there is anything else that would work.

Q. What would a woman of style say when asked about a scrunchie? A. "Oh, remember them." Q.

scroll down for three columns Fashion Advice for a Move From Florida To D.C. Dear Sharon: I currently live in Florida - the land of Lily Pulitzer. We are moving to the Washington D.C./Virginia area and I don't have a clue as to what people are wearing.
