Filed under: Beauty Tips

We had a plan, and the tools to make it happen! Photo by C. Lincoln

Dramatic makeup on the runway is inspiring, but few of us have the skills or patience to recreate the looks at home. That's why we were thrilled to get an invitation for a Dior Master Makeup class at Neiman Marcus, led by professional makeup artist Karen Hummel.

Along with 15 other lucky ladies, we watched Karen transform a willing volunteer from regular chick to runway goddess, giving her the trendy bronzed look that's perfect for spring and summer. Then we all got a chance to try doing it ourselves, with expert guidance from the Dior experts -- and mixed results!

    Neiman Marcus



Ken Downing, the Fashion Director of Neiman Marcus, has released his list of nine trends that will be super hot this spring. We're excited to add some of these looks to our wardrobe and shake off the winter blues!

His predictions include luxe items -- think giant snakeskin totes and fabulously crazy platform shoes -- as well some easier to wear trends, like bright cardigans, one-shouldered tops and dresses, plus anything pink.

Some of the trends, like ruffles and graphic prints, overlap with others. This May, you will be the height of fashion in a ruffled, one-shouldered, pink snakeskin-print dress.

Well, maybe that would be a bit much, but you get the idea. Check out the complete list for ideas on how to dress "to the nines" this spring!

UGGs Go Pastel for Spring

Filed under: Shoes

UGGsSo, we were pretty much done with UGGs, especially when paired with the little miniskirts. After all, if it's cold enough to necessitate super warm, thick boots, it's too cold to bare your legs to just below the hoo-ha. However, we're finding ourselves strangely drawn to the new UGG Cardy Crochet Boots.

Filed under: Style in the News

saks fifth avenueYou know things are bad when the rich stop shopping at the rate they use to.

Last Thursday, Saks Inc. announced it would be letting go 1,100 in-store and corporate support jobs, or 9 percent of its work force. But wait, the luxury department store also has plans to scale back on some of the commitments it had made to those employees who it will maintain, namely eliminating merit-based wage increases and suspending matching contributions to employee 401(k) plans for at least a year.

Cat Lincoln

Cat Lincoln is a writer and photographer, and lives in San Francisco with her husband. She is theoretically very private, but in practice will reveal almost anything if it will get a laugh.

Although now firmly a West Coast resident, Cat continues to be influenced by the strict fashion rules of her Boston roots. That means she wears white year round, but has the good grace to lie about it to her grandmother.

Celebrities make frequent appearances in her pieces, and Cat is able to expound at length on the (huge!) difference between People and Us Weekly to anyone who will listen. She can talk about hair for hours. Also, she is a Gemini, and yes, it matters.

Completely addicted to products and in the habit of telling strangers on the bus about her latest find, Cat is equally at home cruising Sephora, haunting the Walgreens makeup aisle or scoring extra samples from Neiman Marcus Cosmetic Professionals.

Cat loves a bargain, junior mints at the movies and wearing false eyelashes with heavy black eyeliner. A former corporate marketing executive, she is thrilled to be writing non-fiction.

You can get more Cat at:
  • Green Daily, where she covers a surprising quantity of (eco-friendly) nudity
  • 40 Whatever, age is just a number
  • Holidash, your one stop site for all things holiday related
  • UpTake, all about hotels
  • TONIC News, where she writes a regular column celebrating positive efforts to make the world a better place
  • wishbone clover, her collaborative blog about pop culture obsessions
  • What a Bargain! the site she created for everyone to brag about getting great deals
  • Lucky Cat Photography, her personal photography site

Joe's Jeans are too cool for fools

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans

The other night we were watching the latest Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. The makeover candidate was being inexplicably bitchy to Tim and Gretta, so we already were disinclined to like her.

We were forced to further downgrade her when, while passing through the jeans section of Neiman Marcus, Gretta pointed out Joe's Jeans and this wench said, "Don't know Joe, don't want to." Clearly she's a fool!

Katie Holmes designing denim?

Filed under: Jeans, Celebrities with Style


Most of us in the world of fashion were slightly taken aback when Katie Holmes started sporting what looked like her husband's jeans, pegged and rolled to the ankle. We were sure it was a fluke, but she kept showing up in them, and before long, we stopped being surprised. Heck, we even stopped making faces about it.
