line dry
I bought a pair of L.E.I. jeans and looked at label and it says machine wash, line dry. I was curious about the line dry part as I have washed and dried jeans in washer and dryer before. Not this particular pair, but many jeans over the years. I fou

What came in the mail today
My Bergdorf's order! Fast shipping and it had better be for the price. There were no samples, which is ok with me. I feel better already knowing I have the Crema available. I may get the Rose loose to mix with it. I have never used the Pink Sorb

Slack sizes running differently
I was at Kohls yesterday. I was in kind of a hurry. I picked up a pair of Dockers (stain defender). I had a pair for summer in the khaki color that I really liked so I picked up the same pair in black (10 M). I went to put them on for work this

New Hair for a New Man
Greetings! I've recently shed a bit of weight (42lbs, to be exact :) and would love to have a new "look". I figure the natural place to start would be with my hair... I have very thick hair (jet black, if it matters) - no chance of me ever going

Line of the day
In Target today, I glanced at the Mizrahi boots and DH said "Do you really need a new pair of boots??" I mean just because I got a new pair last week? Of course I don't NEED a new pair....... Jan

Auburn grow gel?
Where can I find an auburn brow gel? I have Paula B's, but it's too bright (on my blonde eyebrows) and I need a darker color. Revlon used to make a brow gel with a pencil on the other side but I can't find it anymore. Thanks.

Fabulous haul at Filene's Basement
This past week Filene's Basement had a Designer Sale and I bought nearly $1000 worth of Jill Sander clothes. Which would be less than one item at full price, but Filene's Basement was selling them at a small fraction of retail so I ended up getting eno

Q. re walk-in closets

The Fall Haul!
Hey, AF! For a while this NG was crashing my Netscape, and I was busy anyway. The busy part hasn't changed, but at least AF no longer crashes my browser. Anyway, I saw Diane The Image Consultant again on Monday, and of course spent the day in aero

do u take part in bizarre beauty?
I just watched this segment as I was eating my lunch and before going off to work. I probably won't be buying any of these products because I'm on a strict budget after finding out that I'm pregnant. Some of these products look really interesting.

I got a Boden catalog today. I'd never heard of them, but they're a UK company, and this is their first US catalog. Naturally they had to send me one, so I could fall in love with all these adorable yet somewhat pricy clothes and shoes :-) So I as

Need Help Identifying Blush on Sephora.com
On the opening page of http://www.sephora.com there is a picture of what appears to be a Benefit blush. It's inside the window that reads, "Best of Sephora". The blush looks similar to Nars Sin. Would anyone happen to know what color that is? Or could

Who has smelled these? What are your perceptions? Stella sounds most pleasing (To me anyway) with notes of peach and peonies. Narciso's Her has notes of honey flower, musk and amber. Any opinions? Any notes I may have missed? Thank you. Mme_Remy

Bob!
I was so jazzed to see Bob was the new Bachelor. I didn't even watch the last show, but wouldn't have missed this one for anything. ON topic, out of the 25 dresses, maybe 5 were both beautiful and a good choice for the body type of the wearer. I mean,

Body Shop Home Fragrance Oils question
