GOLD chandelier earrings?
I am having a bear of a time finding these. I am looking for some absolutely mammoth plain gold (or even gold-tone, I don't care, it's for one wedding!) chandelier earrings. I found some lovely silver ones at Nordstrom but unfortunately so far, no go

What did you buy today?
I don't do retail therapy very often...I tend to shop online and buy my standard items, as I'm a student and it doesn't really matter much what I wear to school and work. But lately I've been getting into a more polished look and I really enjoyed myse

What I Ordered Today
www.huntersinthesky.com The two DVDs. My sister got this and was watching it and it mentioned my mother's brother on there. Said his name and described him as a medic on the beach, working on a wounded Marine and he was shot in the head and died wh

Last ditch effort for Shu Uemura Mark Cealer
O.k. I know it's been discontinued for a long while. But a couple of months ago I got lucky and found a tube in my shade Beige 4 in the drawer at sephora. I thought I'd just go for it here one last time. If anyone has a Shu Uemura Mark cealer in B

clinique blended powder - transparency 1 and transparency bronze
Hi, has anyone tried clinique's blended facepowder in Transparency 1? On their UK website (I'm in London), it looks like it's white, ie. has no colour. I'm curious to try although maybe it's just a very light goth like shade, which is not the look I

Anyone bought Sassybax?
During a discussion of comfy bras, somebody postes a link to a site for something called Sassybax, little pull-over cami tops that gave support in and of themselves. I'd love to have a sleeveless top that didn't need a bra under it for summer (at

Best Sunscreen for body
Missed a spot on top of shoulder and got a very bad burn on a stripe of skin not covered by my shirt. UGGGGH - makes me so mad. Is there a sunscreen/sunblock anyone actually *likes* for the body (not face)? For serious protection, when you're going

Dressing up Navy blue pantsuit
I have a navy blue pantsuit I want to wear to a business dinner this week. I want to "dress it up" a little more for the evening. I was thinking of wearing it with a silk shell and some jewelry and "dressier" shoes. Any suggestions?

What Not To Wear
I like watching this show on Fri evenings. Stacy and the guy (I forget his name) are pretty good. It's just not the same though without the original guy (the long haired one). He was a scream. The new one is so totally opposite from him.

Vera Bradley type quilted backpack
Are these bags totally out of style or are they considered sort of classic? I need some sort of a backpack for when I'm out and about all day mostly walking, something that will hold a water bottle, small purse, maybe even lunch, but not be an actual

Pleated miniskirts
Does any grown woman really look good in them? This is a trend I am seeing everywhere in our city this season. I don't think I like it. Even skinny women look like they have a fat rear end. And why would someone think to wear one of these on a windy

Hello, any one know how perfume outlets (they are everywhere now in Toronto!) can afford to sell designer perfumes for almost half the price of what traditional perfume stores sell them for? I bought a few the other day, they smell the same, so I am ju

Sephora BE offer: do it!
I just received my small Sephora order which I'd gotten so I could take advantage of the MOM2004 offer for a free mini True face color with mini brush. I think this is one of the nicest freebies ever. The mini True is the same size as a full-size gli
