Love, love, love everything about this shoe besides the fact that you can get them for a steal now. I love the bow located on the outside over the ankle, too cute. I love the blue,beige and white pattern that's literally all over this shoe. And I love Hale Bob, because I heart this shoe!

Considering the original cost of this bag.......It' a steal and I'd go get it!

Just bear with me here. I'm trying to figure this out. Now I like the dress. It appeals to that "I've got to be different" side of me. I guess I'm not all the way in love with this dress because I haven't figured out what to do with the side that's grey. I know it needs something but I haven't figured out what yet!

Wow, now that's a top! Here's another example of simple yet elegant. Very versatile.

I have seen this particular jacket done so wrong so many ways until I had given up on seeing it done right. Then along came Mackage. Now take a look at this. First up the collar, extended and folded in just the right places. Then there is the belt, which by the way is of the same material the pockets are detailed with. Then there is the sleeves, skillfully executed so much so that you can almost see her wearing some extended wrist gloves with this. And then there is the length of the jacket not too short and definitely not too long. Just right.

Longer Lashes?

The New York Times has a rundown on Latisse, the latest drug from Allergan (the geniuses who brought you Botox). Latisse has the same formula as the medication used for glaucoma, a formula whose side effects include longer, fuller lashes (“25 percent longer, 106 percent thicker and 18 percent darker”) and costs about $120 a month.

There’s something kind of asinine about using a drug that’s actually meant to cure a disease for purely cosmetic reasons (this includes Botox), but Latisse already has tons of fans and is expected to be an $80 million business by 2012.

So, would take drugs to make yourself prettier?

FREE COSMETICS!!!---JANUARY 20TH!!!

How would you like a free jar of high end cosmetics?

Mark next Tuesday, January 20, 2009, on your calendar, and plan on getting to a department store early.

January 20th is the date Macy's, Dillard's, Saks, Nordstrom and other stores will hand out free Lancome, Clinique, and other products....to end a decade long class action case. The lawsuit claims manufacturers fixed prices from 1994 to 2003.

To settle the case, they will offer women one $20 bottle of makeup, eye cream, or similar product: All you have to do is show up at a department store Tuesday.

You don't need to show a reciept....you will just have to sign a form saying you received your free jar, so that you can't get another.

The participating stores are:

Bergdorf Goodman

Bergner's

Bloomingdale's

Boston Store

Carson Pirie Scott

Dillard's

Gottschalk

Herberger's

They could have done something else with the actual heel on this shoe, but other than that it's a winner. I feel kind of sorry for the guy who is even trying to talk to the woman wearing these and if she's married to the man I hear a lot of "Yes Dears."

At first I thought, "What a cute little pair of Gladiators." And then I thought, "Do I really want my gladiators with an animal skin on them? The PETA mind says NO. The OTHER mind says it's your money and besides I like these! What do you say?
