Filed under: Dresses, Flatter Your Figure
Ladies, just because a size eight better describes your shoe size than your dress size, there's no reason you shouldn't be just as fashionable as those lucky enough to have a super high metabolism. Style exists for women of all shapes and sizes, although, admittedly, it is tougher for those who wear plus sizes.Continue reading Flatter Your Figure - Fab Fall Dresses for Plus Size Babes
Crazy cravings: Purple Suede Boot Lust
Filed under: Runway Trends, Accessories, Shoes
Seeing purple everywhere for fall has somehow invaded our brain and now we can't stop thinking about purple suede boots. Even though they are completely impractical for the San Francisco winter rains we are sure to experience, we're so tempted to get a pair to wear on the rare clear day. They are dressy yet can go casual, and make a very definite fashion statement: Fear Not Color On Your Feet!
Up to the knee or gracing our ankles, sky high or in a more moderate medium heel, round, pointy or open-toed, you can find the purple suede boot that is perfect for you.
In the gallery, our top five choices. Now we just have to figure out which ones we can afford. As good as the Jimmy Choos look, at $1,395 it would be the boots or food -- we just can't afford both!

Sarah Palin wigs!
Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Get the Look, Hair Cut and Style
Now is your chance to put lipstick on a wig (but it's still a wig)! The Sarah Palin wigs and hairstyles are here- finally (McCain's hairstyle will be here soon enough, stupid male pattern baldness). Wigs not recommended for Pit Bulls.The wigs were no trouble, no trouble at all- in fact they were already in stock. No they weren't leftover Tina Fey costumes (see glasses), but they did have a famous face attached to them.
Would you believe Raquel Welsh?
WigSalon is marketing their Raquel Welsh style wigs as a great Sarah Palin alternative. "Simply bobby pin back the upper layers of the Raquel Welch's new Valentine wig style, which is truly beautiful in it's [sic] own right, and let the longer layers fall freely."
Vogue's "Black Issue" is a hit
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
Vogue's "Black Issue," literally flew off the shelves. It was sold out around the world in a matter of days after it's release, and the company actually reprinted more issues in order to meet the demand. The message to the fashion world was sent loud and clear -- we want more diversity and we are ready for it, now!
L'Oreal denies Beyonce skin lightening
Filed under: Hair Care, Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style
Recent L'Oreal ads in Elle, Allure, and Essence feature the always fabulous Beyonce, but the ad is garnering a lot of complaints. Why would anybody complain about Beyonce in an ad? She's a knockout, right? Yes, except her skin looks several shades lighter than it normally does.
The ads for Feria haircolor are, as you might expect, creating a lot of controversy. L'Oreal denies any lightening of the singer's skin, saying, "We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L'Oreal Paris altered Ms. Knowles' features or skin tone ..."

Going pro: What your color says about you
Filed under: Clothing, Dresses
Somewhere during your grown-up years, chances are you'll have the opportunity to attend some sort of networking event. And, while you could go with the resume tee, in some professions that might not go over all that well -- you need to find a more polished, professional look.
However, before you throw on your trusty old suit, think about the message you want to send. Just as the type of attire you choose (suit, dress, etc.) says something about you, the color you choose sends a message to prospective contacts and employers. Check out the gallery to see what impression different colors make.

Nail Polish Summer School: Do fingers and toes need to match?
Filed under: Cosmetics
Here at StyleDash, we are firm believers in the freedom to wear whatever colors suit your personal style. And, we definitely don't think finger and toenails need to be painted the same shades. Often we opt for a darker hue on our toes than on our hands, and that is for a couple of reasons:For one, fingernail polish chips more quickly than polish on our toes, so painting our fingernails with something dark or bright all the time just isn't practical. Additionally, dark colors on our fingernails a dark or bright color attracts a lot of attention, which is fine sometimes, but not as desirable other times.

Ray-Ban redefines the Wayfarer
Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Men, Celebrities with Style
We can see you, you've got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby. Well, we can't really see you, no need to feel violated or to put on pants (by the way, Don Henley can see you, always- do with that what you will). Ray-Ban has brought the Wayfarer back. Again. It's not just for the boys of summer, but man, they'll look good in a pair.
Ray-Ban has been "genuine since 1937", which we understand was a damn fine year. They've been putting out some good stuff ever since.
