Sex And The City Fashion
from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeSarah Jessica Parker channeling her inner Carmen Miranda, Cynthia Nixon shows a lot of sternum (and roots in need of some touch-ups), Kim Cattrall probably couldn’t sit in her very stiff dress and Kristin Davis is as lovely and elegant as ever. I alway…

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.comWhen it comes to facial treatment products, I find that I like to at least sample products that friends have led me to. If a friend recommends a product as accomplishing what it is hyped to do, I rely more on their judgment than an ad campaign.
How about you? Have you tried (or […]
It is good to get out of town (and back)
from Karin @ SavvyThinker.comOne thing that is good about getting out of town is that it broadens our perspectives. It is all too easy to think our little (or big) milieu is the final word or full extent of mores or fashion or culture or…
Recently while out of town, I was struck by how many men […]
More Calls From Mrs. Roper’s Closet
from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeJessica Simpson’s dress confuses me, the shoes seem to cause a serious case of hanging toes (click on the photo and look at the foot that’s on the ground), but I’m fond of her purse. Would my laptop fit in it?Image: I’m Not ObsessedCopyright ©2006-200…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeLiv Tyler is so gorgeous she can get away with everything. Almost. It could have been worse, I guess. She could have paired this reject from my 80s closet with a matching pair of godawful leggings, so we should be thankful for only being subjected to t…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeBeyonce is here to show us why the 80s were a really bad fashion moment. It’s probably the combination of too-skinny jeans and those not-quite shboots that just doesn’t work. Stacy and Clinton spent the last half a decade trying to educate us about fla…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeMaybe it’s just me, but the first image I conjure when thinking Chanel, is not Ashlee Simpson’s. I also have a problem with such logo display. I may be a Jersey girl, but personally I find it crossing the tacky lines. What do you think?Photos: Dlisted …

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeI get that Rihanna is a young, beautiful pop star. This status definitely allows for some questionable fashion choices. The goddess of teenage girls remembers Madonna circa 1984 and the millions of fans who ran out to but fingerless lace gloves and tie…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeThe thought process and aesthetics that brought on the dress Rihanna was wearing for a Fendi store opening in Paris don’t work for me. I don’t think it works for Rihanna, either. I’m not sure if it’s an issue of being a fashion victim, or what Tim Gunn…

from perfumeshrine @ Perfume ShrineYou do realise this is a post from the storehouse, don’t you! What I mean: Oscar weekend came and went by the time you’ll be reading this and I have no idea what fragrances the Oscar winners and nominees for 2008 chose to wear and if they were their favourites, but it had seemed a great idea to me last week.

from Karin @ SavvyThinker.comI saw this on AOL the other day and decided to give it a try.
They said to get perspiration out of white clothes, put white vinegar on the stain, then wash.

I figured, it likely wouldn’t […]
Leather Series 9: leather scents of the 50s
from perfumeshrine @ Perfume ShrineAfter the ravages of WWII, which brought real emancipation to women through their en masse contribution to the workforce and the uniformity of vote throughout the western world, people were now free to revert to more conservative models of life. In that regard, fashion and its cultural sensibilities that pertain to fragrances followed suit. Women craved glamour and style after the privasions of

from The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeI liked the Italian Cypress-Pear soap from Caldrea’s Holiday Collection, but the Cognac-Vanilla-Limon is not my cup of tea. Cloyingly sweet and with a piña colada note, this feels anything but festive. How exactly do you scrub off a soap that turns …
