Furry Situation

I have never been one against the wearing of furs...but, when I saw this ad in the Fall issue of ELLE ACCESSORIES I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not...but, it is real...there is a site promoting "innovation, high standards, and a positive factual image of fur and the fur industry worldwide." I wonder how PETA will respond...check out the other ads on this site...it is pretty interesting...

The Highs and Lows of Fall

No matter where you live boots are all the rage for this Fall...and it's your choice on how high or low your boot will go...check out a couple of styles below.

Style Search

It's so funny, I saw a photo of Nicole Richie wearing a chain bracelet on www.people.com yesterday and I went to work trying to find this bracelet. I finally found the designer who is CC Skye...For those of you who can't wait to have one and have the cash to splurge it is for $285...If you get it now, visit Daily Candy to get a 30% discount. I feel like this style is sooo Chanel!

Movie Alert

Don't hate me...but, I think I want to see this movie that is coming out on August 18th called Material Girls...it looks like a Clueless style movie...we shall see...I bet it will be full of trends though! The costume designer for this movie is Van Broughton Ramsey.

I heart (British) VOGUE

Go to the British Vogue site to print off the VOGUE covers to frame and hang in your dressing room, closet or bedroom.

Shopping 4 A Cause

This Fall two high roller fashion houses will be supporting charitable causes that are linked to fashion and shopping.

Saks Fifth Avenue will be continuing the Key to the Cure program that raises money to help with research for the fight against breast cancer. A limited edition t-shirt that was designed exclusively by Oscar de la Renta will be sold at the event that will be held on October 12th-15th where a percentage of the sales those days will go to a variety of charities.

Nordstrom will be selling exclusive T-Shirts with the word ONE for $40 beginning September 11th to support the fight against poverty and AIDS in Africa.

Get to shopping, it is for a good cause!

Jet-Setter

No matter where you go from Texas to Paris, a girl needs to know the tricks to traveling chic. Here are a few tips to make travel a breeze, even with the stress of checking in...
1. I always recommend only taking a carry-on if you can, then you don't have to waist time getting your bag and you know it won't be lost.
2. If you do end up checking a bag, it is always best to attach a unique luggage tag so that your bag is identifiable.
3. Drink water! That is all you need on a flight to get off feeling refreshed.
4. Pack tea bags in your makeup bag to use on your eyes after your red eye flight to help de-puff the eyes.
5. Pack a pashmina...to keep warm and cozy during the flight...whether it is winter or summer you will need this wrap for the flight.
6. Carry paper slippers...some airports (like the Phoenix airport) provide these for flyers...but, others don't. To avoid having to walk barefoot on the dirty airport floor during security have these ready to keep your footsies clean.
7. Don't wear makeup on the flight...and bring a bag of things to freshen up after the flight like:
a travel tooth paste and tooth brush, face wipes, a sample fragrance, bronzer, blush and mascara...and you are ready for whatever you plan to do after your flight.
8. Carry snacks on the flight regardless of how short or long the flight is...airport food is limited and expensive...why not bring something you are sure to enjoy.

Enjoy your flight!
