Get the Look: Spikes

Posted on by

k150_23SZDheel iconSpikes were all the rage at LA Fashion Week recently so there’s no doubt this accessory, once reserved for shockingly dressed punk rockers,  is becoming a staple in women’s fashion. Spikes can be seen on jackets, dresses, handbags, jewelry, even shoes. So be careful next time you hug someone – they might be rockin’ this dangerous look!

Check out some of the spiky options below. Click the image to purchase.* They make a great holiday gift for that fashionista on your list!

Check her out as she spoofs the popular “HOLLLLL” videos:

How To Cover Your Roots

Posted on by

k150_23SZDIf you dye your hair, you know the constant race to keep up with your roots coming in. With our busy lives, sometimes we just don’t have time to hit the salon or do an at-home dye job every six weeks, which is usually when your roots start to make themselves obvious.

So here are some quick and easy ways to cover them up!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Look of the Day: Vintage

Posted on by

k150_23SZDheel iconI love dressing in vintage. The fabric and the styles of the clothes from past eras just seem so much more interesting and beautiful to me than what you find off the racks in the malls. My favorite eras are 1940s-1960s, when pinup ruled pop culture with their sexy silhouettes and glamorous makeup. Here I styled a 1950’s look from my closet. The dress, purse and bracelet are vintage. I call this my Betty Draper outfit because it reminds of the character on Mad Men.

Handbag:

Go retro,

It’s Movember: Do You Have Your Mustache On?

Posted on by

k150_23SZDheel iconHappy Movember! That’s mustache-November in case you were wondering, a movement for men start growing some serious facial hair to raise awareness of men’s health issues including prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges.

I became all too aware of prostate cancer while my father battled it – twice! Fortunately, through catching it early and the advances in medical treatment, he survived and is doing well.

So while us ladies can’t exactly grow a mustache for the movement, we can join in the Movember spirit with mustache accessories like the ones below.

Click the photos to purchase.* Proceeds go to the Movember Foundation. Also check out the Movember shop.

Oh and be supportive of your man as he grows out his ‘stache. Yes, it prickles when you kiss him and it may look a little funny, but it’s all for a good cause!

To read more about the Movember movement, visit the website.

And now I must-tache!
