Sensible or Strange: Control-Top Thongs

March 31, 2009

It's not April Fools, but is this undergarment foolish or flattering? Control-Top thongs are a-buzz right now, removing both visible panty lines and belly bulges, but what about when a woman disrobes?

To me thongs are about sexiness and even comfort. (My big booty always has panty-ride-up anyway. If it won't cover, why not have no cover?!) But I wouldn't want to be seen in this layer of foundation. So is this under-wardrobe piece well worth it or over the top?

So why do you wear thongs, for the look in or out of pants?

Celebrity Stylist to turn Designer
for the Every Woman

Rachel Zoe

(pronounced 'zo'), the insider-famous stylist to the stars, the woman behind some looks of the likes of Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton---is planning to start her own fashion line. Zoe wants her brand to be budget-friendly and will comprise of a whole range including clothes, handbags, jewelry and fragrance.

“It will be absolutely, 100% accessible fashion for sure ... There’s no reason for me to do a luxury-level design. ... I don’t think it’s what people want from me. I think that I would need to give people that fantasy becoming a reality."
-Zoe (source)

Zoe's first collection, with no brand name yet announced, will debut in 2010. But right now you can bid on her designs (jewelry and a few purses) for Judith Leiber on eBay by non-profit charity house DecadesTwo, albeit in a higher price range.

A Day of Love & Style, but Few Blogs

March 27, 2009

I'm not sure if I can blog much if at all today, and it would be later. I have a hair cut (my hair is being donated to locks of love, too, but more on that later) and a wedding to attend later tonight.

Good news is that I finished altering/making my shoes for the wedding. (No 2nd shoe syndrome.) Bring on the dance floor!

You have yourselves your own day of love & style (but probably a casual Friday work day).

Quote of the Moment: Women's Equality

March 26, 2009

“We’ve demonstrated that women can do what men do, but not yet that men can do what women do. That’s why most women have two jobs — one inside the home and one outside it — which is impossible. The truth is that women can’t be equal outside the home until men are equal in it.”

Item of the Moment: Nautical Ruffle Spring Scarf

March 26, 2009

Charlotte Russe

Cheap and chic at $8.99, and nothing's cooler than a scarf suitable for spring. Like this light jersey accessory. Seems nautical returns to shore every summer, and this may be an updated way to do that sooo done ruffle thang. Mostly I'm really feeling some ruffle along the bustline, and this is one of the cutest ways to do it!

Site News: Revamped Layout / Beauty Day

March 25, 2009

We revamped the layout today to accommodate some better advertising because hey, it's a recession. It's working well and even with the intentions I had it looks great, and actually cleaner. Also, main categories now have a little product heading, which I like. I made a few other tweaks.

Anyway it was sort of a beauty day "off" from posting, then I had to rest, and tonight is the celebration of one of the monthly anniversaries in my relationship, so ... I'm off! (Not that I was "off" from work today.)

See you around <3Elle

Surprising Shoe Fact-A flat-flat is unhealthy

March 24, 2009

The surprising fact about shoes and foot health (and posture) is that the flattest of flat shoes is actually unhealthy, relatively, for the feet. Best is a quarter to a half an inch of a lift on the back of a flat, kind of like a kitten wedge, we suppose. Here are some shopping picks that fit the bill...
