WANT: Loeffler Randall Jude Scallop Sandal

WANT: Loeffler Randall Jude Scallop Sandal
What you need to know is that in 2008, I bought this quietly stunning pair of Enzo Angiolini Hypnotic sandals in bronze and proceeded to wear them OUT. As in, I still own them, but they're the footwear equivalent of Linus' blanket. I've had them sprayed gold by my cobbler. I've had them fixed numerous times.

I've been on a search for something Continue Reading [...]

Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Concentrate

Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Concentrate
My latest eye cream obfreshion, Fresh Black Tea Age Delay Concentrate, imparts moisture, diffuses fine lines and even ameliorates my dark shadows-the-likes-of-Barnabas-Collins siutation.

Kate Upton's giant Valley of the Dolls locks was one of my favorite beauty looks of the evening.  Celeb hairstylist: Peter Butler for Moroccanoil's inspiration:  “When envisioning the hair look that I wanted to create to compliment Kate’s Versace mini-dress, I was inspired by the works of Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin as well as the strong and powerful 80’s woman a la Cindy Crawford and Jerry Hall— I wanted big, polished hair.” Here's how he got the look, in his words.
