You already know dresses are key for special events and after-five, but this season you'll want to turn to dresses for everything from work to weekend wear.
Leading the dress pack is the shirt dress, an easy look for most offices and universally flattering (the collar and button-front draw attention to your face, the belted waist gives you shape, and the full skirt hides a heavy lower body).
Jersey knit dresses are another great look for spring and summer. The beautiful drape of jersey allows dresses to caress your body without being skintight. With jersey, you'll need to eliminate seams and pantylines because bumps and lumps do show; try a one-piece bodyslimmer or seamless lingerie.
This sheer silk blouse is beautified by ethereal ruffles, trimmed in lace at the collar, cuffs and hem. Covered buttons enhance the Victorian effect. Gave you the classic luxurious look

Neutrogena has a nifty new nail product that we're just crazy about: the Neutrogena Instant Nail Enhancer. When we're giving our nails a break from the manicure routine, this is just the thing to make your nails look great. It comes in tube with a brush: you just brush the solution on bare nails every day instead of nail polish. They look like they've been buffed, with a nice sheen. There is no odor, it dries instantly and it strengthens nails with Vitamin E and Provitamin B5. So your nails get stronger and they look like you've had them buffed or have a coat of polish will a subtle shine. When you just can't get to the manicurist, just slap this stuff on and your nails look a lot more polished -- and you look like you're totally organized, even if you're not. It comes in either Pearl Sheen (our favorite) or Buffed Sheen.
We just love these "Waxing Poetic" 14k gold charms, that look like you embossed your initial into hot wax, just before you sealed up an important letter. You can choose your initial, and the charm comes in two sizes: the square charm mestures 1" and retails for $460, and the Baby size measures 5/8" charm and retails for $185.The charms also come in sterling silver, and would make fabulous graduation or birthday gifts. They're available at Pagliei.com, the online store of talented designer Patti Pagliei.

Holiday Shipping Deadlines Approaching
When can you last order an item online and get it there in time for Christmas and the first day of Hanukkah? Part of the answer to that question depends on how much you are willing to pay.
There are just a few days left before online retailers will start charging you extra for shipping. For many retailers this coming Monday (Dec. 19th) is the last day you can ship an item at regular shipping prices. By Tuesday (Dec. 20th) retailers start charging an extra fee for shipping if you want to get it there by Christmas. December 21st is the very last day to order an item at many online retailers and still get it there by December 25th. Amazon has a shipping option called Guaranteed Accelerated Delivery that can get items ordered on the 22nd there in time for Christmas providing they are eligible.
Keep in mind that every retailer is different and you will want to check the retailer's shipping information page to find out their specific mailing deadlines and fees. We've provided some quick links to the shipping information pages of some retailers below.

Finding the Hermit Crab a Home
When you head home from that beach vacation, you may have some unexpected stowaways: the hermit crabs that children take home from the beach. But hermit crabs grow up and need bigger homes. Now Petco has just the solution: T-Rex Crab Island Decorative Hermit Homes. T-Rex Crab Island Hermit Homes are intended for two purposes. First, as hermit crabs grow, they need the opportunity to change their shell to a larger more comfortable home. Hermit Crabs should always have access to these shells in their environment. Second, the hermit crab owner may want to give the crab an opportunity to change into a different shell to enhance or change its looks. This is completely appropriate. Just remember, the crab will change shells when it wants to, not necessarily when the caregiver wants to. The changes will normally take place at night when no one is watching.This would make a great, educational gift for any child who has access to a beach or who gets a hermit crab from the local pet store.

The Caudalie Cabernet Scrub
We've been eying a vacation at the Caudalie Spa in Bordeaux, France, where they drink bordeaux wine and immerse the spa guests in red wine-derived concotions. The spa's anti-aging vinotherapy concept evolved from the so-called French Paradox study, which concluded that the French have very low heart disease rates even though they eat real butter and cream, largely because they consume huge amounts of red wine. The grape seeds from the grapes contains polyphenols, which some claim to be up to 10,000 times more effective than vitamin E in stopping the free radicals responsible for 80% of premature wrinkling. And that's the basis of the spa treatments. If you can't make it to the Caudalie Spa this week, here's the next best thing: the Crushed Cabernet Scrub, which is being sold exclusively by Sephora.com. You use it in the shower; the scrub part buffs away dryness, while the crushed grapeseeds, brown sugar and essential oils are infused into your skin. It couldn't hurt to drink a good glass of Cabernet afterwards, either.
Stella McCartney Roll-On Perfume
As Spring approaches, we are on the prowl for a new perfume and this lovely gift set from Stella McCartney is just the thing.

| Felicity Huffman and the Cursed Black Diamond |
Best Actress Nominee Felicity Huffman reportedly was supposed to wear a famous black diamond necklace that had a long and cursed history. But on Sunday evening, she arrived in a black Zak Posen gown, earrings, but no necklace. Was she worried about the curse? Did she decide that the dress looked better without a necklace? Here's the history of the cursed jewel:
Known as the Black Orlov or The Eye of Brahma, the jewel's curse allegedly began when it was removed from a Hindu shrine in southern India and then claimed to be responsible for the violent deaths of two Russian princesses.
Legend tells of a monk removing the original rough 195-carat diamond from the eye of the Idol of Brahma at a shrine near Pondicherry, India. This sacrilege allegedly cursed all future owners of the precious stone to a violent death.
In 1947 Princess Nadia Vyegin-Orlov and Princess Leonila Galitsine-Bariatinsky - both former owners of the Black Orlov - leapt to their deaths in apparent suicides. Fifteen years earlier, J.W. Paris, the diamond dealer who imported the stone to the USA, had jumped to his death from one of New York's tallest buildings shortly after concluding the sale of the jewel.
In an attempt to break the curse, the diamond was re-cut into three separate gems and has since been owned by a succession of private owners, all of whom seem to have escaped the curse. The 67.5-carat Black Orlov is set in a 108-diamond brooch suspended from a 124-diamond necklace.

Taking a cue from The OC, Laguna Beach shows us what young adult life is really like in Orange County. This group of beautiful, rich young people take us on a first-hand journey through their lives in a way that is engaging, but had me feeling guilty that I was actually enjoying this cheesy material. Paramount Home Video presents Laguna Beach: The Complete First Season in grand fashion, using two discs to house the 11 episodes of the show and a third disc dedicated to a bevy of extras.
This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.
Pop singer on Tuesday topped an annual Hollywood worst-dressed list compiled by a fashion designer who called her an “over-the-hill Lolita.”
He calls Spears a product of “couture chaos” and sniffs that she has gone “From the ‘Princess of Pop’ to the ultimate ‘Fashion Flop.’”
Among others feeling the lash of Mr. Blackwell’s scorn: Jessica Simpson (”a cut-rate Rapunzel slingin’ hash in a Vegas diner”); Eva Longoria (”Gorgeous face, garish taste”); Paris Hilton (”yesterday’s cheesecake … with a side of kitsch”) and Lindsay Lohan (”looks like she’s aged 30 years overnight”).
The Worst Dressed Women of 2005
1.) Britney Spears: When it comes to Couture Chaos, this Tacky Terror should take a bow - looks like an over-the-hill “Lolita” & From the “Princess of Pop” to the ultimate “Fashions Flop!”
2.) Mary Kate Olsen: In Bag Lady rags that look depressingly decayed - forget the “accessories” and buy some “Raid!”
3.) Jessica Simpson: It’s time to sack the stylist and divorce the “designer” & she resembles a cut-rate Rapunzel - slingin’ hash in a Vegas diner!
4.) Eva Longoria: Now that Eva is America’s most successful primetime flirt & she can afford to bury the bikiniwear - and buy a skirt! Gorgeous face, garish taste & what a waste!
5.) Mariah Carey: Fashion’s Hari-Carey Strikes Again! The world applauds your musical emancipation & but please — leave that body to our imagination!
The Canadian pop-rocker says she has finally discovered fashion and wants to star in “really beautiful” ads.
The stunning singer has signed to Ford Models agency and says she’s ditching her grunge image.
She said: “I’m starting to feel more feminine. I’m getting into hair and make-up and image. That’s the best part of being a girl.”
And Avril thinks she’d be a great model.
“I look through magazines and stare at ads and think, ‘I’m not six feet tall, but I know I can do that’,” she said. “I want to do those really beautiful ads with the high-end products.” (news.com.au)
There are so many posh diaper bags: it seems that every designer has jumped on Diaper Bag
bandwagon. We like this Louis Vuitton Diaper Bag, which retails for $1,240.00.
The dimensions are: 12" L x 10" H x 4" W, which is a good size. We also like the shape and the fact that the shoulder strap is wide enough to be comfortable. It has two compartments, and includes a removable embroidered diaper mat. The fabric is polyamide textile canvas with cowhide trim. Inside one section are three pockets with elastic straps to hold bottles (or a water bottle for you). The other side has a zipped compartment with several inside and outside pockets.
It's a good design and is durable, like all Louis Vuitton products. And when you don't need a diaper bag anymore, it makes a great travel bag.

The beautiful people kept it safe and not too edgy at the 63rd Annual Golden Globe Awards. And even though we loved the natural and sexy makeup looks that prevailed (nude lips; soft hair; healthy, glowing skin), not everyone looked quite… beautiful. In the end, it’s all about the dress, ladies. (Most egregious look: the bosom falling out of it.) Here are some of our picks for the best and worst dressed stars at the 2006 Golden Globe Awards.
