We can't quite get white jeans out of our minds since watching Emanuelle Alt, the editor of VOGUE Paris jump around and do the best karaoke cover of WHAM's Wake Me Up Before You Go Go in a promo video for the magazine earlier this week. We've coveted Alt's rocker-esque update of French chic since day one and, in this video, what shows the most is her joie de vivre that makes anything she wears instantly cool. Thus reinstating the fashion truism that you can wear (almost) anything as long as you are confident and have fun with it. White jeans can be a tricky affair to pull off, but Brad Boles has been sizing up body types and shares his thoughts, with

Correct Wrinkles & Tighten Up Your Skin, no problem! Now let's talk about tight smooth skin.

Whether you're a size 2, 12, or 22 there is no excuse not to look fabulous at any age! Knowing your body and what works isn't always easy, however. Then, when the latest trends are thrown into the mix, the result can be confusing. High fashion magazines aren't always entirely helpful. They don't translate into the battlefield of life. So many of my design clients often ask me to incorporate fashion into their style makeovers. And, I say stay on trend and modern in both your home and wardrobe. One of the hottest fashion trends is the return of black and white. Just take a look at the many fab options out there. And, the best part is that color

In the wake of Kim Kardashian's divorce announcement and her pr-powered mega wedding event, one has to wonder how her divorce will impact the way consumers see her brand. Could this possibly be the beginning of the end on fashion and beauty products built on celebrity brand power? Let's think celebrity products- does it really ever work? Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Simpson , The Kardashians, Jennifer Lopez, The Olsens, and The Housewives franchise... love their products or leave them? I need to address this subject; as much as I love Sarah Jessica Parker's, her Bitten line has long bit the dust, as has her days at Halston Heritage. Is there really a market for fans to

I'll Have What She's Having: Jamie King's dramatic cat eyes With a return to classics finding their way back into your wardrobe, you can naturally expect the return of Cat Eye Black Eyeliner. Here's a little beauty tip on how to get your cat on, ladies. Apply base primer to the lid. Powder lightly. Take your liquid eyeliner wand starting with the inner upper lid, when you get to the end of the lash line, tip your wand upwards to create a perfect delicate cat eye point. Makeup Artist Trick of the Trade: Start out with a thin band of eyeliner and increase the width as you fan out to the edge of the lash. This is where things can

Geez, the last time I spent an evening on 10th Ave. and West 41st street with Sharon Haver was probably in 1986 when a famous diner sat in that location! Truck drivers, drag queens, and runaways with a dream filled the booths. This time my foraging to the West Side of Manhattan was for the premiere party for "Mad Fashion" on Bravo, starring Chris March. The show celebrates the fab, new and wild fashion designs of its star, previously known to most from "Project Runway." When asked what the premise of the show was Chris replied: "lots of fashion and fun". It sure is! We chatted with Bra Style Expert Jene Luciani, AKA the "Bra Book Lady," who had plenty to say

How do you determine what skin care regime works in an over-saturated market when every product claims to turn back time, erase wrinkles, and diminish fine lines? Artistry claims just that, helping skin act up to 15 years younger. The active ingredient is Cardiolipin, an agent so powerful and rare with its anti-aging benefits it truly is the ultimate indulgence in skin transformation. MORE: Anti Aging Artistry has introduced their newest product Crème LuXury Eye. In just four short weeks you will see a visible reduction of wrinkles. If it’s as fabulous as their face cream, you’re in for quite a treat. Now here is the best part: the makers of Amway products created it for he Asian market three

The Urban Jungles of this world inevitably produce trends in fashion that make their way into closets across America. With fashion week upon us, I'm looking forward to the fashion parade outside of Lincoln Center. The young and restless work the stairs and promenade leading up to the tents ala Lady Gaga! Yet, there are elements that can be lifted from the wreckage such as the vintage print scarfs that reemerged during the fall 2011 fashion week in February. Tied to a handle of a petite bag or knotted at the neck, they can be quite beautiful: think Grace Kelly.
