Fashion Week Must-Have: Ms. and Mrs. Minimergency Kit

It may measure just 3.5" x 2" x 2" (i.e. it's likely smaller than your hand!), but this Minimergency Kit for Her by Ms. & Mrs ($13) is stocked with so many things I don't know how they all fit them in -- seriously I took everything out and then couldn't fit it all back in (well, at least not neatly!).

How to Test Perfumes and NOT Smell Like an Escort

IÂ’m absolutely WILD about perfumes and fragrance. Some women have “A” perfume they enjoy wearing daily, but IÂ’m just not one of those girls.

Holiday Idea: Throw a House Party for Charity

I attended a house party last year where the host asked that each attendee bring a toy for a local charity as an "entrance fee" for and super fun, open bar party.  I arrived kind of early and the box which held the toys collected from the party was already full!

A special post saluting the Emmy Awards and the extremely well-dressed women that stepped their expensive, well-heeled feet onto the red carpet this past Sunday in Hollywood.
