Buy Fashion for Relief on Net A Porter

By diane • Mar 18th, 2010 • Category: Fashion Flash

Last night I discovered a scathingly tempting (because it was soo bad) reality show called High Society featuring the famed NY “It” girl Tinsley Mortimer. You have most likely skimmed her photo in the NY Times, Vogue or other fashion mags as she has become one of the top fixtures in the pre-eminent social [...]



New Spring Nail Polish Shades

By diane • Mar 17th, 2010 • Category: Beauty Buzz

Last night I met some of the girls for dinner at one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants, it had been a while since I had seen some of the girls so it was great to catch up. As always we just kind of fall into our usual roles…this one is ever so chatty, this [...]



Spring Jewelry Trends

By diane • Mar 16th, 2010 • Category: Trend Time

Over the last few days I have begun the dreaded process of packing, not packing for an exciting Spring break vacation to a wildly fun destination, but rather packing room by room, cabinet by cabinet and drawer by drawer every little bit of stuff that has accumulated in my house for the last ten years. [...]



Trend- Two Toned Sunglasses

By diane • Mar 15th, 2010 • Category: Trend Time

This weekend I did something completely uncharacteristic; I actually spent an entire Saturday doing “springtime in AZ” things. One of which was a Mariners Spring Training game… tragically they lost, but just being in the sunshine at the ball park, eating peanuts, drinking lemonade and a soft pretzel or two and I was in [...]



Get the Look – Oscar’s Best Do’s

By diane • Mar 12th, 2010 • Category: Beauty Buzz

Yes it’s already been five days and I am still talking about the Oscars. This year it seems that there were so many wearable makeup and hair looks and since I have already touched on the makeup why not round it out by talking about the hair? One of my favorite [...]



Get the Look- Oscars Best Beauty

By diane • Mar 11th, 2010 • Category: Beauty Buzz

After the Nicole Kidman’s red carpet powdery face debacle I had let the cat out of the bag that since 9/11 makeup artists are no longer allowed to walk the extra long red carpet with celebs. I suppose these days many celebs are expected to go it alone during their walk which we [...]



Worst Oscar dresses and other offenses!

By diane • Mar 10th, 2010 • Category: Fashion Flash

So by now everyone knows that there were more than just a few fashion faux pas at the Academy Awards on Sunday. While James Taylor sang a tribute song and images of stars past but not forgotten played in a video pictorial on the screen the hubby and I wondered where’s Farrah? And [...]



More Oscars Best Dressed

By diane • Mar 9th, 2010 • Category: Fashion Flash

Last night after snuggling up with a little dessert and Kell on Earth (though I love it so, I am beginning to get bored of all the relentless nagging and constant tears..sigh) I caught just a glimpse of the Fashion Police on E and normally Joan and I have the Vulcan mind meld going on…I [...]



Best Oscar Dresses!

By diane • Mar 8th, 2010 • Category: Fashion Flash

Like me, many of you watched the over three hour long Oscar telecast last night waiting on the edge of your seat to see if the land of Pandora would bring home a gold statue, or if Sandra would really trump Meryl? Would Mo’Nique walk home as expected with the man? And maybe [...]



Favorite Academy Awards Dresses

By diane • Mar 5th, 2010 • Category: Fashion Flash

It’s that time once again, in just 48 hours (give or take eight hours or so) I will be perched front and center on my sofa with a glass of something bubbly in my hand watching the red carpet entrances of gown after gown and tux after tux at the Academy Awards. Just [...]
