This Sunday marks the end of Daylight Saving Time, which means the days are going to get shorter. But just because the sun is going to be scarce doesn't mean you can't maintain a light, healthy-looking tan. (Please, just don't go overboard!) The advances in self-tanning products over the past few years have been so remarkable that there's really no excuse to lay out in the sun any more. Here are my favorite self-tanners for instant and gradual results for the face and body.

FOR QUICK RESULTS
Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Spray Micro Mist Medium, $10.99, available here. I've heard some people complain that this gets splotchy if your skin has dry patches, but I have dry skin and I've never had a problem. Just make sure to apply right after exfoliating in a moisture-free room (i.e., not the bathroom you just showered in) and rub it in for extra blending.

Dressing for a play date with 2-year-olds isn't easy, but there are plenty of stylish, urban moms who seem to pull it off with aplomb. The key, from what I've observed, is wearing easy, comfortable pieces with just a little bit of flair, like this LaROK Marled V-Neck Sweater, available for $258 here.

So on Monday, I asked you guys to go Fab Finding for suitable shoes, bottoms, a roomy bag, and other play-date necessities. (To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.) Some of you used this sweater as a jumping off point, while other readers picked their own. Either way, the looks were great. Here are some of my favorites.

Look #1, found by Atoxicsparkle, who went for comfortable yet chic with Paige Premium Denim jeans, a hot brown handbag, and cute canvas skimmers.

Destiny's Child aren't the only ones who can sing about being bootylicious. Now you can too! Here are two new ways to boost your butt without having to do thousands of lunges and squats.

Belive it or not, Wonderbra is getting into the butt-enhancing business. The company has created a special padded pair of undies, called Curves-Up Wonderbot, with removable pads that form a heart shape. These are meant for the ladies looking for a little bit of extra junk in their trunk; I never thought I'd see the day. So far, these have only been released in England, but look for them in November (retail price: about $38) wherever Wonderbra products are sold.

Earlier this afternoon, I told you how to create a sexy, smoky eye. After all, a dark, sultry eye is one of the easiest ways to achieve a sexy nighttime look with makeup. Fortunately, a number of makeup companies are making no-brainer smoky eye kits, which give you everything you need to create the look in one easy palette. Here are some of my favorites.

Tarte's Peepshow Smokey Eye Kit in Onyx includes an eye primer, a double-ended eyeliner brush, a double ended eyeshadow brush, one deep-black shadow liner, and three eye shadows in white, silver, and deep charcoal. Buy it here for $37.

Mally Beauty City Chick Smokey Eye Palette is an all-in-one kit that will make your eyes look sultry and seductive but not too heavy or fake. With this palette you can choose from six very different color palettes. Brownstone is full of neutral and earthy tones; Skyscraper is comprised of a dark slate and gray colors; Central Park is an assortment of greens; Midtown Merlot is made up of deep wine and berry colors; Plum Chelsea has a range of wonderful purples; and Nolita Navy is a palette of navys and blues. Buy it here for $35.92.

Who says that the kids should be the only ones who get treats on Halloween? You deserve some sweet indulgences, too. Thankfully, several high-end brands have come up with delicious, Halloween-themed treats that beat the pants off of the usual Skittles and Tootsie Roll Pops. Be sure to order soon so you'll have something more stylish to enjoy when the trick-or-treaters arrive. Here are a few of my favorites.

Godiva Chocolate Pumpkin Patch Truffles, $12.50 for 5, available here. These beautiful, festive candies are filled with pumpkin-spice ganache and dusted with cinnamon.

Vosges Haute Chocolate Day of the Dead Skulls, $8 each, available here. In honor of Mexico's Día de los Muertos celebration, these chocolate skulls come in three surprising but delicious flavors: Blanca (white chocolate), Red Fire (chiles and cinnamon), and Barcelona (smoked almond and sea salt).

Hey guys: Get excited, because FitSugar is coming soon! See below for a sneak peek.

The French seem to have a flair for almost everything. (Well, except for that whole perpetual smoking thing.) While not everyone in France necessarily believes in the working-out-for-better-health theory that we Americans like to follow, they do believe in having good sneakers, which is something we can all agree on. The French sneaker maker Veja has created a sneaker you (and Mother Earth) can feel good about, because the sneakers, or baskets as the French call them, are made entirely from organic and natural elements.

The organic cotton is grown in northern Brazil, and the rubber comes from a small co-op in the Amazon. What's more, Veja claims that the sewing and assembly is done at co-ops where the workers rights are valued and respected. Oh la la! You can buy them online at Veja's web site, or if you don't want to pay international shipping costs, check out Scout LA, which also carries them. The boutique is located at 7920 West Third St. in Los Angeles; call (323) 658-8684 for more information.
