Last night I attended the People’s Choice Awards… to say it was incredible would be an understatement… it was BEYOND INCREDIBLE!   Everyone looked fabulous… each celebrity dictating their own distinct red carpet style because the cool thing about the People’s Choice Awards is that it’s a Hollywood Chic affair for the People, by the People.  You don’t have to worry [...]

Tonight are the People’s Choice Awards BABY!! I cannot wait!! It’s exciting to see sites like this mention my name: Reality TV Website The Futon Criti I am getting my hair and makeup professionally done… which I am oh-so-very-excited about! But… as we all know from going to any event – there are pieces to the puzzle. The pieces are [...]

OK… so I didn’t real faint with Carrie Underwood – but we were on the same flight to Los Angeles, so it counts it teeny, tiny bit. Ever since I was in 5th grade I have experienced fainting spells… not all the time, but I have had maybe 8 episodes in my lifetime. They’re scary. Plain and simple. I can [...]

The last few days have been like ice skating over Time… sliding quickly from moment to moment with blurs of color passing all around me. Today was not much different. Barry and I got up very early and headed to Audrey’s house, where she was getting all the last details ready for her trip to Los Angeles and the People’s [...]

I’m heading to Los Angeles today for the People’s Choice Awards! There were a few things I needed to get done yesterday that were on my MUST-DO BEAUTY CHECKLIST… 1. I got a GOOD eyebrow waxing. (You know you really need a eyebrow waxing when you walk in and they say to you, “Eyebrows?” 2. I got my nails done. [...]

“What is a Shift Dress?” Last week I mentioned a Shift Dress in one of my posts and immediately I got a bunch of emails asking me to define a “Shift Dress.” What makes it different from a Sheath? A Wrap? A Jumper? A Maxi? Well… A Shift Dress is something all women should want in their closest… especially since [...]

Speaking of my Mom, she isn’t doing all that well.  Her headache turned into what I think is bronchitis… we will know tomorrow when we see our family physician. My Mom is a very, very independent person, and she is notoriously reluctant to ask for help.  I know how difficult it is for her, but how wonderfully appreciative she is, [...]

On January 1st most of us probably said something like, “I’m going to workout more this year…”  Regardless of why we want to workout – want to feel good, want to lose weight, what to be healthy, want to set an example for our kids, want to fit into our clothing better – it’s always a good thing to keep [...]

Fashion and beauty isn’t just about clothes and makeup – your skin needs to feel beautiful and relaxed and rejuvenated, too! Have you ever tried an Orange Juice Bath? When I was living in NYC in a “10 x 10 closet”… I would get so frustrated and dread going home because my apartment was so small!  One night one of [...]

Audrey most definitely got her entrepreneurial spirit from her Dad and her paternal grandmother, Flo… but her passion for fashion?  That came directly through the genetic circuits and threads, so to speak, of my Mom, Rita. Even at almost 85, my Mom’s love of fashion keeps her closets veritable stock piles of garments.  She loves all colors and most fabrics, [...]
