Home Style- French Furniture House Taillardat Adds a Fashion Touch to Marie Antoinette, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Empire and Directoire pieces

Style Where You Sit: A modern spin on high-end 18th century furniture reproductions You all must know that I cannot possibly imagine living in a home without the benefit of having something beautiful to look at and inspire by way of its furniture.

Elizabeth Taylor Style, A Legend Beyond Her Fashion and Beauty

I'll Have What She's Having: A true movie star, a fashion icon, and a tireless activist to raise AIDS awareness As we grow older, we hold close the memories-- or visual snapshots-- of our youth and coming of age.

Poll Finds Women Own (MERELY) 17 Pairs of Shoes... are they "fashion" women? Where is your inner Imelda, ladies? Don't get me wrong, I completely have respect for bag people. But the idea of of changing my handbag every 5 minutes never really thrilled me. However, in full disclosure, I do own a lot bags and some very "good' ones. Yet, it's still not my thing.

Pop Gossip- Justin Bieber’s new haircut. Lady Gaga spotted in the East Village in bikini and fishnets on one of the coldest days of the year

from justin's twitter
Ok, so the sappy small town kid with the mega wallet got a haircut. Is this star on the way out? How can you not miss national news that Justin Bieber got a haircut?! Jay DeMarcus from Rascall Flatts Twitpiced this photo of him and Justin Bieber on his Twitter and everyone is going nuts. Hallelujah, The Bieb no longer looks like Dorothy Hamill in a wind tunnel.
