Coolest Thrift Store Guy's Jeans
I need new (old) jeans and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on what to look for. I kinda like the darker vintage Wranglers that are pretty easy to find at thrifts. Any other suggestions? -paul

Rant: Post office delivering to wrong address
Arg! I ordered a sweater from anntaylor.com, but I sent it back to exchange for a different size. I had sent it USPS with delivery confirmation but w/o insurance since I didn't think that anything would happen to it in transit. It's been over 10 days

Bliss facials
After weeks of poring over the Bliss Spa menu I have finally booked myself in for a triple O2 facial at the London spa. I'm really looking forward to it :-) I get Dermalogica facials on a regular basis but have been wanting to try Bliss for a while

What I Ordered Today
Not really fashion related but I just ordered the Frozen Hot Chocolate Mix (pack of 5) by Serendipity 3. This week on Oprah she had a segment on it and it looked too yummy! I guess the only way this is fashion related is I ordered it from Cosmeticma

My Rotating Face: Day Two
I'm wearing a lot of purple tones today, so for today's face, I thought I'd go with purple/berry shades: Jane Iredale loose minerals in Warm Sienna (too dark and orangey) mixed with the Lancome faux-Idealist shite Cargo Tonga blush Clinique Touch

So, I’m getting ready for work this morning and trying to find a pair of shoes to wear. Ordinarily that’s no big deal, but today my engineer husband is watching me get ready – he’s usually at work by this time, but is staying home with one of our daugh

Shoe stretching
Hi I just got a new pair of Frye Women's Harness boots. They are a bit loose in the heel, and a bit tight across the instep - mostly along the side of my R. foot. I think the heel looseness is good, I am not having any blisters and can walk easil

DIY lash/brow tinting?
I was wondering how much people have had tinting at home. I saw a kit at Sally's, it was $29.99 I think, which is WAY cheaper than going and getting it done but I wondering how hard it is to do on yourself? Sandra -- Sandra Owned by 3 cats.

Moisturize oily face?
After washing, my face doesn't feel dry or tight (it's not oily either), but after a few hours, it's like an oil pit. Would using a moisturizer after showering help with this? It seems kind of weird to moisturize oily skin, but if it works I'll do

Best Bronzer
Yearning for spring! Perhaps a new bronzer is just the thing to make winter breeze by. So much to consider ... matte, shimmer, not too orange, brown or red (a healthy glow versus muddy look), blends well, etc. What are your favorites? TIA, Ell
