Spinning Me Softly With Your Touch…

The Path to White Teeth Gets Colorful The Path to White Teeth Gets Colorful. There usually isn't anything aesthetically thrilling about personal hygiene gizmos lingering on the bathroom countertop. But the quest for white teeth just got brighter. [img2816|left] Six totally de-groovy shades of the new Crest SpinBrush add a pow of color to an otherwise bland arena. The battery-operated SpinBrush whirls like an electric at close to a manual toothbrush price.

Matching A Tie, Without A Sport Coat

I am a college student and going out to a nice dinner that requires me to dress up. I am not wearing a sportcoat, however, I am wearing black dress pants with a navy blue dress shirt. My question is what color tie should I wear? I have a stylish blue one, a nice gold-ish looking one, and a plain black one. (Flint, MI) It's hard to escape the image of randy school boy in his shirt and tie, but there certainly are plenty of situations where wearing a jacket is unnecessary (think lab coat), even though sporting a sportcoat will finish the look. When spurning a jacket, your tie acts as an anchor and introducing a third color, like

An Elephant Never Forgets He’s Chic…

Babar Turns 70 Babar, King of Elephants, Turns 70 French sailor t-shirt, classic. Hermes scarf, classic. Chocolate croissant, classic. Babar, classic children's reading for the pre Tintin set. The "King of Elephants" who has a flair for wearing a stately green suit is about to celebrate the big 7-0. In an oh-sooo-French simple, elegant way, Babar's whimsically illustrated adventures promote kindness, courage, and patience… lessons you are never too old to practice. With more than seven million books in circulation in 17 languages, Babar, first written and illustrated by Jean de Brunhoff, then continued by his son, Laurent who has since created and published 30 Babar books of his own, began as a bedtime story and turned into a modern

Sliver Glasses…

He has a mini-gadget for everything. Well, 007 inspiration for those things great and small must have been in the dreams over at Micro Vision Optical when they developed reading glasses so skinny that they slip into their own pen, mascara wand-size tube, or what could be confused as a silver-tone cigarette lighter case. No more apologizing when you can't read a menu in a restaurant so dimly lit that you need to bring Sebastian, the seeing eye spaniel along to aid in negotiating your Jimmy Choo shoes around the joint- whip out your

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2000... do something! October 2001 Dear Sharon: I am a junior in high school and while searching the web, I saw your page related to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My mother passed away from the illness two and a half years ago after a 12-year battle. My grandmother died of ovarian cancer and I have many other relatives, friends and neighbors who have been affected by cancer- especially breast cancer. Since Breast Cancer Awareness Month is October, I was wondering if it is possible to have some kind of awareness in my school for that month. Do you have any suggestions? I was wondering if money was collected could it be donated toward a cancer society? Thank you -- Striving For A Cure

Move Over "The Thinker," Here Comes Mary Richards. Taste The Hamptons-Recipe to take a bite out of style from The Barefoot Contessa. Okay, so she was a thirtyish TV icon thirtyish years ago. But Mary Richards still rules. That's Mary, the stylish lead character, in Mary Tyler Moore's eponymous named Seventies hit television show . No matter how ever so slightly dated the single, independent Mary now appears, there's always something modern about the way she wears her flares, belts her shirtdress, or how her hair flips. Most important, there's something completely empowering about the way she tosses her beret. The Wall Street Journal* writes- on it's front page- that a bronze statue of tam-tossing Mary Richards will be placed

Turn Back, Go Forward…

designer vintage clothing redux Vintage hungry fashionistas get what they want- designer reissues! When Mom tells you that she once had a dress just like that, she's not kidding. In effort to keep up with vintage starving fashionistas, European designers and activewear manufactures are "reissuing" their old styles in limited editions.

Sonia Rykiel is introducing a "Modern Vintage" collection for fall with a limited run of archival favorites. Adidas, Levi's, Lacoste, and Valentino will also be reissuing. Norma Kamali has been at it for a while. When other designers
