The weather is warmer and the heat is on to stay in shape. If you workout a lot, you can get a little… let's say…not so fresh!?!?

It's All About Doggie Style You're dolled up, so why expect poochie to have style that's for the dogs? We're not talking about fussy leashes and glamourella collars that doggie darling feels too overdone to catch a ball in. Or, that your he-man honey feels totally ridiculous being near. We are insisting upon whimsical wag wear that's as adorable as the tail-wagger herself. The dogshop at Old Navy has the sweetest bow-wow accessories at a mutt of a price.

Bourjois Paris cosmetics was there first No longer must you flit over to Paris for a shopping junket (as if that's a chore on to itself!!!). Bourjois cosmetics are readily available stateside. Okay. We admit it. We're getting older. No, no, not like Granny Clampett ancient. But old enough to recycle our own "vintage" rock t-shirts… to have been there, done that the last time around… to know when something is a just a fad…to know when something is a classic. Since all things eighties are "it" again, we thought it was only right to share this beauty secret with you, our gorgeous dolls of decadence. Almost every top makeup artist stocked their cosmetic cases with chubby little tubs of

Clean Out Your Closet…

and Help Dress For Success Help other women who want to enter the workforce by donating your slightly worn business clothing. Ok, so you bought that fab navy blue suit last year for a job interview and now the company you work for is sooo casual that a T-shirt almost seems formal. Look it, a girl has got to have room for what she needs. But that suit is too good to trash and it's just taking up space in your closet. What to do? Be altruistic! There are plenty of smart, determined women less fortunate who want to re-enter the workforce yet don't have the resources to buy an interview suit. And, you have one that just hangs in

No Acid Washed Jeans! Please say it isn't so, the return of the acid washed jean. Oooohmoigawd! You just knew it was bound to happen one day. Someone, somewhere, somehow would revive the tackiest fashion fad of all time, acid washed jeans. Not to mention, the early Eighties style du jour-- super-skinny legs that zip up the ankle (how else can you get your foot into them?) and slashed all over the place.

At any given celebrity awards event, most everyone looks like a walking advertisement of a designer's latest loaners. Except, The Queen Of Eternal Style who made all those diva-wannabes shiver in their overstyled schmatas with her menswear $25.99 Dickies workpants and Dolce and Gabbana homage T-shirt, emblazoned, Material Girl.
