Versace is truly an iconic brand and is responsible for two of the greatest moments in fashion history. Who could forget when Liz Hurley stole Hugh Grant’s ’shine’ in the famous “Safety Pin” gown at the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral. Then there was an even more famous dress — “The Green Dress” worn by Jennifer Lopez at the 2000 Grammy Awards will be more memorable than her music career.
Last week, Donatella Versace revealed their collection for H&M with appearances by Nicki Minaj and Prince. But don’t run out to the stores just yet! Versace for H&M won’t go on sale until November 19th at 8 AM, but you can find out which locations will carry the collection at http://www.hm.com/versace.
The line promises to be a throwback of their best pieces from the 90s, and I can honestly say that I haven’t been this excited about Versace…well…since the 90s. I’ll be browsing the preview of pieces online in hopes of seeing some safety pin embellishment or the jungle print backdrop of Jennifer’s “Green Dress”.
Caring for your baby’s skin is not as simple as picking the first thing on the shelf. As a new mother, you might go for products recommended by your pediatrician or other moms. As your baby gets older and you become more familiar with her/his skin type, you can find a variety of baby care products with all natural ingredients.
Some babies have more sensitive skin than others or might develop dryness due to change of weather. For the past two winters, I’ve switched to a moisturizing body wash for my daughter since her skin tends to get extremely dry when it’s cold. Instead of lotion, I like to use a body butter like Lavanila The Healthy Baby Butter — a pure shea and cocoa butter blend with over 30 essential vitamins and minerals.
Some occasions call for a casual and chic look like your favorite denim with a dressy blouse and pumps. Well, how about a pair of jeans that comes all dressed up on its own. I’m talking metallic, snake, copper and gold.
This season’s dress up jeans are coated in shiny, exotic prints and textures, so you can easily go from a movie, to drinks, to dinner, to dancing and more. Pair it with an understated blouse or blazer with heels.
Here are four hot dress-up jeans from our favorite denim designers (shown in photo Left to Right)
1. Guess copper metallic coated jeans - $128 on guess.com
2. J Brand golden snake print jeans - $242 on revolveclothing.com
3. Helmut Lang metallic jeans - $240 on net-a-porter
4. Current/Elliott leopard print jeans - $198 bloomingdales.com
One of my favorite trends this season is the sweater dress. Not just your typical black, grey and brown sweater dresses but bold, colorful prints that will put a fun twist on your day and evening wardrobe.
WHY WE LOVE IT
It’s an easy all-in-one ensemble that can you dress up or down!
THREE WAYS TO WEAR IT
1. Go casual and chic with black or colored tights and ankle boots
2. Create a more sophisticated look by opting for pumps instead of boots
3. Up the ante with a sexy night look with bare legs and platform calf boots
If you’ve kept up with my beauty posts over the summer, you know that I’ve experienced the good, the bad and downright ugly when it comes to eyelash extensions.
As much I loved my last set of false lashes, I decided to go for zero maintenance and just wear my natural lashes for now. Well, it was all in good timing because I would have never gotten the chance to try this amazing new mascara – Voluminous False Fiber Lashes by L’Oreal Paris.
For those of you who are skeptical about getting lash extensions or just want a low maintenance temporary option, the beauty gods have granted your wish! Yes, you can really get the look of fabulous faux lashes with a mascara.
L’Oreal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lashes mascara enhances your natural lashes with its sculpting fiber formula. The allergen-free fibers attaches to your lashes for a longer, fuller, clump-free look. To remove — just wash with soap and water.

You don’t have to trek into Manhattan for an authentic – and exquisite — French dining experience. Sue Perette is a quaint, cozy restaurant offering traditional cuisine right in the heart of Brooklyn.
With its candlelit atmosphere and window seating, it’s the perfect place for a romantic – but not too stuffy—dinner with a spouse, a laid-back night out with friends, or weekend brunch with the family.
A great starter for dinner is the signature appetizer, polenta fries (served with green aioli sauce), and their signature cocktail, the French 75, (made with gin, Cointreau, lime and sugar and topped with champagne.) The drink had the perfect mix of sweet and sour and will definitely prompt anybody to order more than one.
Other traditional appetizers include duck pate and charcuteries or fromages (cold cuts, charcuteries or cheeses plates.) The restaurant also offers an appetizer of the day. This particular night, it was quail served seasoned and tender with sweet peaches and figs.
So I almost forgot to put you on to this fab designer sample sale going on right now! Here’s your chance to get your favorite European and American designer brands for your little diva and even the little man in your life. You’ll find 10,000 fashion items for kids from labels including Armani, Baby Dior, Roberto Cavali, Pinco Pallino, Gafu, Petit Bateau, Les Copain, Hugo Boss, Miss Sixty, Mona Lisa, Blu Marine and lots more.

Hopefully we’re all bored with the “sexy” costume fad. I know I’ve seen enough half-naked witches and super heroines and after all, sexiness is a state of being and not what you wear. This Halloween top costumes are taking us back to ghoulish, gothic and classical characters with a very feminine appeal. Who’s ready for some dress-up fun?
Angelica of Pirates of the Caribbean - $59.99 at BuyCostume.com
1. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE CLINGY
Leather can be flattering for any body type when it’s loose and draped like the Utzon black leather vest ($1,340).
2. IT’S TOUGH YET GIRLY
You can definitely go edgy with a feminine touch in Gucci’s strapless, pleated cognac leather dress ($2,890)
3. IT’S LONG AND STILL SEXY
Sure a short leather skirt is hot, but a knee length asymmetrical hem skirt from Mandy Coon ($540) says grown and sexy.
