Viktor and Rolf for H and M: Edgy fashion classics, at an affordable price

Viktor & Rolf for H and M collection debut We all have those certain perennially fashionable items that no matter what become the staples of our wardrobe.

Somber, Retro Glamour for Oscar Fashion Stars

It's curves not cleavage at the 78th Annual Academy Awards Oscar Fashion 2006- Celebrity style turns back to good old Hollywood glamour. Only Dolly Parton and her “girls” were able to shake some badass sass into last night's Oscars. Never one to take herself too seriously, Dolly has fun with her campiness- and, that's why it works for her. Meanwhile, most stars took themselves very seriously in retro glamour that was divine at it's best and aging at its worst. Reese Witherspoon shined in her 1955 Christian Dior gown that she picked up in a Paris vintage shop. The ribbon and beaded gown could have looked more Mamie Eisenhower than ingénue on anyone else, but Reese's simple, undone hair and

Closet Makeover for the best hangers ever

Huggable Hangers
A fashion fanatic's clothing hang-up The best closet makeover hangers keep the most delicate clothing neatly in place, without slipping or falling off. I really must share my newest obsession: the best velvety hangers. It's not because the fuzzy-wuzzy velvet finish feels good. It's because these closet makeover hangers keep the most delicate clothing neatly in place, without slipping or falling off. There's nothing worse than trying to get dressed in a hurry only to find that your favorite designer number has slipped off its hanger and is now buried in a mangled mess at the bottom of your closet- ouch! Closet real estate can be pretty tight, and the last thing you want is cramped and wrinkled clothing because

Oscar fashion strikes gold…

It's lucky sevens for the 77th Academy Awards Oscar Fashion 2005   Frankly, I miss Cher. I really did like Bjork's wacky bird dress. And all the other Academy Award getups that may not have been politically fashionably correct, but sure did show off the wearer's personality. It gets terribly boring to spot stars decked out as a clone of their stylist's fashion connections with not an iota of their own personal style in play. Instead of seeing who is wearing what dress it too frequently becomes what dress is wearing which star. Worse off, while glamorous they may want to appear, the celebs look darn uncomfortable--- awkward is clearly not chic! Thankfully, this year's Oscar fashion, while heavy on
