New York Fashion Week embodies New York style, and this year the hairstylists of the week showcased their love for some ‘Big Apple’ hair. New York women are modern, chic and always look effortless.  The hairstyles on the runway this season were just that. Guido Paulo from Redken created looks that embodied the “New York sensibility” of hair: cool and nonchalant.
 

A big style on the runway this season was the ponytail; Guido created styles for Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Ports 1961. All were simple but cool at the same …

We’re taking a walk down Memory Lane today, reminiscing about the fragrances of yore that used to make us feel like all that and a bag of chips when we put them on (more like doused ourselves in them!). Which oldies but goodies did you used to rock? Do tell…we LOVE a good blast from the past!

Hundreds of fragrances were released in 2010 and it’s impossible to recall all of them , let alone test them. But I try. What follows is a highly subjective look at my highs and lows in the world of perfume this year. Please feel free to weigh in with your choices.
Most Innovative Fragrance Idea: Lush Gorilla Perfumes

Launched with a unique “scent experience,” LUSH created the Gorilla perfumes for both the connoisseur and the layman. Those in NY and London could explore (for free…in a creatively-constructed thematic art gallery) this line …

New York Spring Summer 2011 Fashion Week descended upon the already glittering city, and each show was like a pearl necklace: timeless, instantly chic, and an emblem of decadence at its finest.
In the madness of dashing from backstage to backstage, show to show like some chic yet hunted animal, it was heart-warming to seek refuge in the pleasure of other bloggers’ company. One such event, Cocktails and Couture, is an annual staple, attracting the industry’s well-heeled mavens like bees to honey.

Spring, summer, fall, winter…there’s no season that goes by that your mother is not involved in some way, and in some part of your life. But just because Mother’s Day falls in springtime, that doesn’t mean that the treats you give your mom shouldn’t span all the seasons of the year.
You’ll never know when she needs her shea butter-infused hand cream, but you can make sure she has it handy. Here are some of our perennial (and seasonal) picks for the person who made you more than a shadow of …

There’s nothing like perfume that elicits a mood and warms up the spirit. Fragrance is sometimes intangible – you don’t realize you’ve entered a “perfume mood” until it’s there and envelopes you.  And these are some of the products we’re crazy about for the holiday season (and why we love them).
Burberry Brit Gift Set ($84)

We love the fruity and lightness of this perfume (we recommend it for the teenager). This set includes a 3.3.oz Eau de Toilette Spray, a Body Lotion and a Shower Gel.
Hanae Mori Butterfly Perfume Gift Set …

Fabulous doesn’t begin to describe the newly launched fragrance Amanda-a scented celebration of iconic personality Amanada Lepore, who is known throughout the world as the reigning doyenne of transsexuality.

The juice is signed by Christophe Laudemiel, the nose behind many wildly successful fragrances including Estee Lauder Youth Dew Amber Nude, Island Michael Kors (with Loc Dong), Elton John Black Candle, Clinique Happy Heart, and Ralph Lauren Polo Blue (with Carlos Benaim).
Called “the enfant terrible of contemporary perfumery,” Laudamiel was so inspired by Lepore’s larger-than-life persona that he created a fragrance especially …
