Let’s talk Oscar make-up

There are two classic looks that are seen all over the red carpet– my favorite, the smokey eye with a soft nude lip, and the other, a bold lip color with soft shadows.   One thing that is the same in both looks– a strong eye liner.  The purpose of eyeliner is to make your […]

Oscar’s 2012 Fashion Report

What an amazing award show Sunday night. I don’t even know where to begin. I guess I’ll start at the red carpet.  But, before I get into best/worst dressed, I want to make it clear that I could only wish to have any of these designers dresses in my closet, and if I did they […]

Beach-to-Bombshell Hair!

For this week's style post, I'm going to talk about my favorite hair style-- beachy, touchable, undone waves.  As much as this look sounds like all we have to do is roll out of bed, of course, this is not the case.  A lot of work and products are needed to make it look like we wake up looking this fabulous!  My two favorite must have products-- Oribe's Apres Beach wave and shine spray, and Oribe's Dry texturizing spray.  Oribe (pronounced or-bay) products can be found at Panico in Ridgewood and Blue Mercury in Tice's Corner in Woodcliff Lake.

Brows that Wow!

Women often ask me-- if you only had a minute to spend putting makeup on in the morning, what would you do?  My answer is the same every time-- fill in my brows, put on my favorite volumizing mascara (Chanel's Inimitable Intense) and lip gloss.  Not many people realize how important eyebrows are in defining your face.  The trend right now is a fuller brow-- I'm not talking Groucho Marx, but the quicker you can get yours growing in the better.

I’ll take beautifully bronze tanned skin… hold the UV rays!

For many of us, the news that tanning beds are considered a cancer risk came as no surprise-- maybe somebody should fill in the cast of Jersey Shore! There is no such thing as a health tan, at least not one caused by UV rays.  What are we to do until "pale becomes the new tan?"  The answer-- custom airbrush tanning.

Get your hands on the bag of choice!

The Clutch... the perfect accessory to curvy inspired tailoring and the smart phone generation, who no longer needs to tote around a bulky organizer and a check book.

The world’s sexiest stilettos… Christian Louboutin, of course!

Nothing makes me feel sexier than when I am wearing a pair of stilettos with that signature red lacquer sole.

Style Stalkers… Sounds like my kind of girls!

In search of style and inspiration, Sue-Ann San and Rachel Zeilic traveled the globe-- the result?-- the Australian label Style Stalker.   Check out their Rebellion Parka found right here in downtown Ridgewood at Suite 201!
