Author: Kelly on Friday, August 28th, 2009 at 2:54 pm and is filed under Home.

After landing or updating your pad, you are eager to gather with a crowd of 15 to 20 (more than that would be giving up elbow room).  What better way to celebrate hard work with marathon cooking, the scent of cigarettes and that accidental stains..  of red wine.  Clear up these best guest mishaps with [...]

Make-Up Your Age

Author: Kelly on Friday, August 28th, 2009 at 11:59 am and is filed under Beauty.

In beauty, following too closely to trends can easily result in mishaps of  looking too young or overaged.
Minimize your offenses — and laugh lines — by curbing your craving for   glitter eyes or powdered complexions:
Too Young:  Glitter
It not only gets everywhere; oversparkled lids or (gulp) glittery lip/cheek gels are more for playing dress-up than dates.

Ethics Don’t Carry Price Tags

Author: Kelly on Friday, August 28th, 2009 at 10:17 am and is filed under Fashion.

The constant struggle between Louis Vuitton, Prada and Chanel and the offending market of knockoffs isn’t anything new.  After years of fashion houses’ lawsuits against Beijing’s Silk Street Company — a famed market where vendors’ livelihood is selling faux luxury items — the business of fakes is still going strong, with reasonable dents here and [...]

Author: Kelly on Thursday, August 27th, 2009 at 9:59 pm and is filed under Beauty.

As beauty-conscious mavens, we may tend to gravitate towards the newest and most promising products, along with name-brand staples that are well received by the population of beauty editors and specialists whose opinions greatly influence our purchasing choices.  But what if that face cream is giving you zits?  Own a pricey hair treatment but can’t [...]

Small Spaces.. black and white vintage photographs are arranged cleverly on the wall and decorative stars centered on the side of each stair

The Forgotten (Decorative) Spaces

Author: Kelly on Thursday, August 27th, 2009 at 8:36 pm and is filed under Home.

Spiffing up small spaces may seem to stop with a wall’s worth of storage, convertible sofabed and skeletal desk.  Extra-large spaces are ironic in the fact that they’re often in odd areas (cutout doorways, staircases) that come across as intimidating and senseless to decorate.  These fixes are simple to execute and open up a gallery’s [...]

A Totally Amazing Dress (and You’ll Still Afford Shoes)

The Best…. In Places You’d Least Expect

Author: Kelly on Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 at 5:42 pm and is filed under Shopping.

The pressed-for-time shopper often designates her path.  Department stores for cosmetics and an occasional cocktail dress; cool boutiques for jeanswear; a village specialty shop that stocks niche-y, memorable gifts.  But sometimes, it pays to keep a keenly open eye and finding valued buys in places that never crossed your mind.

Author: Kelly on Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 at 10:26 am and is filed under Food.

The Gluten-Free craze is not just a passing phase; for many, it is as important to good health as a vegan diet.  Allergies to wheat and conditions such as Celiac Disease affect a surprising number of individuals from infants to adulthood, including ABC’s “The View” co-host Elizabeth Hasselback (who’s 2009 “G-Free Diet” book blames bread [...]
