Why aren't you wearing this? Folio Briefcase Bag

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves


When you're making an attempt to look somewhat professional, do you pay attention to details?

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


It only stands to reason that, at a photocall for her new movie, Get Smart, Anne Hathaway would look smart, and she absolutely does. She is sleek and polished, but still manages to look approachable and friendly -- not a look everyone can carry off.

Why should you want this look? Well, just think about occasions where you want to look gorgeous, but not over the top; professional, but not standoffish -- this is the look you need. And we're going to tell you how to get it!

Two wrongs don't make Color Oops right

Filed under: Hair Care


We know we sound like a broken record, but DIY hair color is a risky proposition. It seems simple when you read the package, but in real life people leave chemicals on for too long, pick the wrong color or mix processes that should always, always be separate, like bleach over henna'd hair.

If it's at all possible, we recommend -- STRONGLY, yes, we're yelling -- that you go to a pro to get your hair dyed. This goes double if you make a mistake coloring your hair yourself. Do not try to fix it at home, get help!

We practice what we preach and see our colorist regularly. In fact, it was under the dryer at our hair salon last week that we read about the latest home craziness: Color Oops Home Color Remover.
