It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! I am sitting here with 12 new magazines on my bed. Seven of them I purchased over the weekend and I received five of them in the mail. I am a self-proclaimed magazine fiend, so I am in – as they say – hog heaven! Oink, oink!
My mags of choice – InStyle, Essence, Body & Soul, Everyday with Rachael Ray, Clean Eating, Self and Vogue. The mail-ins – Elle, Food & Wine, Allure, GQ, Architectural Digest (even though I do adore interior design, I only get this b/c they sent it to replace my Domino subscription. I miss Domino!) Oh yeah, I also get HR Magazine. I’ll read that one last – LOL!
Be who you want to be today.

Winter weather is FABULOUS for fashion – hats..coats..boots…Love ’em! Winter winter is not always so fabulous for your skin, though. Dry and flaky is NEVER a good look! Not to worry. There are several great moisturizers that will leave your face as smooth as a baby’s bottom, no matter the season.

A peachy color works well on almost all complexions (it’s what we experts call “universally flattering”) and will give you just the right amount of glow without looking overdone.
Women (and certain men) are used to wearing peep-toe shoes in the Spring /Summer. Depending on your location, you may even be able to wear them year-round, or at least wear a nice peep-toe pump into the early Fall. In 2008, the script has officially been flipped. Toes are no longer in hibernation for the Winter. Shoe designers, in all their infinite wisdom, have introduced us to the peep-toe boot and ankle boot. At first I thought, “Interesting. But what’s the point? It’s going to be cold.” Until I saw the 
It’s that time of year again! The temperature has dropped and we (in certain places anyway) have to put away the sleeveless tops, capri pants and pretty much anything lightweight. Although I hate frostbitten toes and fingertips, I almost welcome the change because I much prefer my fall/winter wardrobe to my spring/summer one. 
I was reviewing my old MySpace blog and came across my entry regarding MAC Cosmetics’ 2007 collection “The Stylistics.”
