Sometimes beauty products can get a little girly, which is why I appreciate the occasional brands that tend more toward bad girl. Companies such as Too Faced and Booty Parlor are coming out with lots of cute and cheeky makeup and beauty products that are just a little bit naughty. These would make a great gift for a bachelorette or just one of your wilder friends. Here are a few of my picks.

Too Faced Quickie Chronicle: The Plaything of Passion, $25, available here. This pulp fiction-inspired palette includes one blush; three eyeshadows, and four lip glosses.

Booty Parlor Dust Up Kissable Body Shimmer in Punch Drunk Pink, $28, available here. This brand specializes in everything for the bedroom, from this scented dusting powder to sex toys.

I love buying things that give me an excuse to buy other things. Case in point: Buy enough jewelry, and eventually, you're going to need a jewelry box. I love these cute cases because they keep your valuables safely stored while also adding some flair to your dresser top. I've found a number of great boxes to suit the size of your jewelry collection and your budget.

Rosey Dot Box, $22, available here.

For chic, stylish sweats and other comfort wear, look no farther than Shvitz, an ultra-hip boutique that opened six weeks ago in New York's SoHo shopping district. Named for the Yiddish word for "sweat," Shvitz was founded by the lovely Leslie Hall and Nicole Slavitt, who I am proud to know. Leslie decided to open the shop when she realized the only place she could find fun matching sweatsuits was at LA-based online stores Kitson and Shop Intuition.

Sales are already skyrocketing at the energetic downtown shop, where everything is black, white, or pink and the candy flows like water. Shvitz is the ultimate score in trendy, high-end sweats and girly sportswear from designers such as Juicy, Rebel Yell, Joystick, Made U Look, and Torn. It's also the only store in the area that carries the great knitwear from Primp. To learn more about what Shvitz offers, read more

Say what you will about Paris Hilton, but the woman can pose for photos like a pro. Just check out this photo from the Casino Royale premiere. As you may have noticed, all of the starlets adopt a similar pose when getting their photos taken. Why? Because this pose is one of the most flattering, of course! Here's how you can replicate it.

• First, stand up straight. Having good posture is the easiest way to look 10 pounds lighter, so don't slouch! Hold your shoulders up and slightly back, straighten your spine, and the rest of your body will settle into a flattering, statuesque stance.
• Rest your hand on your hip. Bringing your upper arm away from your torso will make your arms look more slender and toned. This will also push your shoulders and chest up and out.

Deciding what to wear to a job interview can often be more stressful than the actual interview. You want to wear something that will get you noticed, but you shouldn't go with anything too revealing, flashy, lacy, or downright weird. So I thought we could all help each other put together some suitable looks for the occasion.

It's always best to start with a classic, tailored dress shirt, such as this French-cuffed Theory
Beverly Pleated Shirt, available for $230 here. Think of this as your blank canvas, and let's all go Fab Finding for the rest of the outfit. A suit would be a great option here, as would matching career separates, and let's also throw in some shoes and a bag. Remember: You want to make a good impression, so nothing should look too cheap. Just be sure to come back and tell us that your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with the phrase "Job Interview." To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.

While on the hunt for one of my recent favorite lip balms, this Dr. Hauschka Lip Care Stick available here for $12.95, I stumbled upon a lovely little beauty site called Saffron Rouge for the first time. If you're a cosmetic junkie concerned about what strange chemicals are entering your body through your beauty habit, then this place is an e-commerce paradise. Saffron Rouge specializes in organic and natural beauty products—everything from bath and shower products to aromatherapy and even a number of natural makeup lines I've never seen before. Just browsing this site, I discovered dozens of products I want to try. Here are a few of the highlights.

John Masters Organics Citrus & Neroli Detangler, $16, available here.

Primavera Relax Body Wash, $6 to $20, available here.

I often find myself puzzled or appalled by Juicy Couture, but it's usually because the velour track suits and pom-pom-laden purses look better suited to preteens than grown women. This Juicy Couture Crepe Wedge Loafer, however, suffers from an entirely different problem. The stodgy brown leather, pebbled rubber, and old-school lacing make this shoe look more like something a grandmother would wear, minus the considerably high heel. It's hard to believe this is Juicy, but sure enough, you can buy the shoes for $275 here. What do you guys think about this style? Tell me if you love it or hate it?

Argyle isn't just for socks anymore. Lately, this classic, preppy diamond pattern has been showing up in the most unexpected places, from shoes to arm warmers and even a tube top. Something about taking argyle out of the sock and sweater-vest context suddenly makes this potentially stodgy fabric look very funky and fun. Here are some of my favorite argyle finds.

Michael Kors Argyle Tube Top, $550, available here.

Argyle Pumps, $159.95, available here.

J. Crew Dream Argyle V-Neck, $88, available in three color combinations here.
