Fashion Review: Royal Underground
It sounds more like the beginning of an adult joke rather than a tale of fashion: a high-profile socialite and a heavy metal guitarist walk into a bar…. Okay, there probably was no bar. I don’t think so, anyway. But there really is a high-profile socialite and a heavy metal guitarist who have paired up [...]

Beauty Review: RAW Minerals
Gone are the days of liquid foundation. It’s a new century and today’s modern woman uses mineral makeup for lightweight, natural coverage. But not all mineral makeup is the same. I have found that the lesser expensive brands provide no coverage at all and apply unevenly. Meanwhile, another mineral brand continues to receive bad reviews [...]
Shoe Review: REPORT Signature Edson
They may be super sexy with a whole lot of style, but REPORT Signature’s Edson sandal heels hurt my feet. I purchased the shoes from RueLaLa.com for under $90. I had a credit from referrals, so I actually paid even less. You can currently find REPORT Signature’s Edson at Revolve Clothing for $187, so needless to [...]
Clutch Review: Molly’s Clutch
One of my favorite online accessories retailers, SoHo Accessories, recently sent me a complimentary Molly’s Clutch. I love it SO much. The color is just so rich and stunning.

Shoe Review: Sam Edelman Katrice
Through sheer generosity, I received the Katrice wedge sandals in leopard print from Sam Edelman, and not only do I love them because of the fabulous design but I also love them because they are surprisingly comfortable.

Sleepwear Review – What Lola Wants and Angelily
According to an Irish proverb, “A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.” I believe that, so much so that I make sure to laugh a lot and get eight to nine hours of sleep per night. Laughter maintains my optimism and sleep wards off the wrinkles. There [...]

Shoe Review: Ahnu
Wow. The Universe works in wondrous ways. I am a dressy, girlie fashionista. Rarely will you find me in casual wear in public. My most casual attire is a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt.

Review: "Michelle Obama:100 Days of Style"
The moment I saw Fashion Week Daily’s advertisement for “Michelle Obama: 100 Days of Style” I knew I had to have it.

Bravo’s "The Fashion Show" Review – via Fashion Pulse Daily
I am a die-hard “Project Runway” fan. And while I have mad respect for the cable network Bravo, I will be following PR to its new home at Lifetime. So, when Bravo came out with “The Fashion Show” I was skeptical. After watching only a little of the new show, I have come to the [...]
Products I Love
Great skin is essential for great style. I take good care of my skin by drinking lots of water and not smoking. The older I get, the more careful I am with my skin, especially when it comes to cleansing. I want clean skin, but I don’t want dry skin and harsh cleansers can lead [...]
