Fall fashion tips to stay on trend…

Fall Fashion - Wardrobe Tips to build a chic wardrobe with the latest fashions: Build a chic wardrobe with the latest fashions Dear Sharon: I follow your fashion advice and tips regularly, but never thought that I would write in. I've been looking at all the fashion magazines and it seems that last season's fall fashion has really changed. I bought a bunch of new things for fall last year, but I'm not sure that they will fit in to this year's fashion trends. I'm not terribly interested in looking trendy, I prefer to look more up-to-date and stylish. I bought a couple of bubble skirt dresses last year and some oversized sweaters that I'm afraid will now look dated.

The perils of pink… Going to extremes wearing one color I have a pink wool peacoat that I bought for some reason last year. I am over 30 and a working professional. Can I get away with wearing pink? It looks great with my coloring, which is the only reason-- so far-- that I am keeping it. Or are pink coats better left for little girls? Thanks for your advice! (Zurich, Switzerland) You've really come to the wrong girl to extol the virtues of wearing pink. Pink is no longer a color, it's become a state of mind for some women. Yes, there are gorgeous shades of pink- dusty rose, that Schiaparelli shocking pink, rosebud, certain fuchsia's, blush, and men

Tan in a Can…

Get salon airbrush tan results at home Get salon airbrush tan results at home A rich tan is unmistakably the hottest summer trend, yet we all know the dangers of toasting ourselves silly to get that sun-drenched look. While most savvy fashionistas do get their fake bake from a salon's airbrush tan artist or a walk-in spray machine, we aren't necessarily keen to strip down and mist up by appointment or spray-paint ourselves into some weird, splotchy orange glow.

Take Note…

Pamela Anderson and the The Lycra® British Style Awards Pamela Anderson and the The Lycra® British Style Awards What would life be without references? When the wisdom of life starts to clog your brain, jot it down. Crib notes, if you must! It's nice to see that even Pamela Anderson suffers from any occasional lapse of memory. She may have hosted the dinner for TheLycra® British Style Awards, known in the UK as the 'Oscars' of the Fashion Industry, but when it comes down to not missing a trick, there's no souped-up techno solution for Pam.
