Belt It

I dabbled in belts a couple of years ago with my purchase of a satin belt from Intermix to wear up high on my ribcage over a blousy top. Now I'm feeling that the time has come to dabble some more.

Belts are everywhere. There are many fun ways to wear them and it's a good change from the denim sans belt look we've been sporting for the past 10 years. It's time to switch it up, Girls. Tuck in your fabulous blouse and adorn a fabulous belt. This look is super chic and city worn these days. It's oh so 90's to go without. Trust me. That's an outdated look.

Try a wide belt around your favorite blazer. Wear one around a summer dress. Wear one. Just wear one. Be brave.

Redness Be Goneth

Whether you need a little help or a lot there are some really great products out there to cover redness these days.


A must try is Adjust by Smashbox. This line was created by the spawn of Maxfactor and it has fabulous primers. Everyone must use a primer so why not use one that does more than just prime the skin. Their Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer Adjust is the one I apply before my foundation. Its green tone battles redness superbly.

Even the CVS found product Eucerin has come up with some great items for battling redness. In fact they have an entire kit for treatment however my favorite is their Redness Relief Redness Reducing Concealer which evens out red skin tones with it's green neutralizing color. It blends easily with it's sponge tipped end. It also has Licochalcone, which is an extract of the licorice root known for calming the skin. Love it!

Now my latest fave red battling product of late is by none other than Laura Mercier. She's got this Secret Camouflage, which completely covers . It even completely covers dark circles and minor blemishes. It's a two-shade system to match your skins different tones so that each woman can custom-blend her own color. This is complete true coverage without being cakey. The consistency is unique and not like a concealer at all. It will not slip off your face halfway through the day leaving you bare. It covers well and stays on yet you feel like you're not wearing anything. I love this product. It's a must buy.

Just For Kicks

I loved my Kork-Ease last summer. This shoe originally designed back in the 50's for comfort was a big hit in the 70's. This year the shoe will continue it's comeback of last summer and why not. It's comfortable and super cute.

I'm loving the new patent Kork-Ease. I'm even leaning towards the lower heel this time around to switch it up from last year. Check out the Myrna II Sandal in Red Patent. How cute will this be with your wider leg, white, denim pants. This color is a must. I'm also into the gold pair, since I'll already be sporting silver in my Tory Burch wedge. For nights on the town with my tall man, I'll be wearing the higher version in black patent leather. A must!

Good By Mummie Tummie

I always had a flat tummie until I had kids. After my second daughter was born and I lost the baby weight that thing was still around my middle. I tried to hide it. I bought one of those Spanx bottoms that attaches to your bra, but two years later it still has the price tag on it. I guess it was just too much like a girdle for me to squeeze myself into it. I think I would have preferred a tummy tuck to actually wearing this thing even though I did purchase it.

So what is a former flat tummie girl to do? She must purchase the new Yummie Tummie Body Slimming Shapewear by Heather Thomson. I must warn you though that they are back ordered until the middle of March, but they are truly worth the wait. The Yummie Tummie tank comes in two sizes, short or long with an array of colors to choose from. It's the perfect tummie holder inner and it doesn't ride up. This is key as most of the spandex tanks ride and roll up your middle.
