Scoop

Get The Scoop!

What a deal and what a look!

What a deal and what a look! The Scoop, a boutique located in NYC, The Hamptons, Miami and Las Vegas is offering this fabulous three piece set from clothing designer Jet. You get a wrap, a tank and leggings all for $180.00. The Scoop stores always carry the hottest trends around. The best part is that you can get everything from underwear, bags, shoes, tanks and cocktail dresses all under the same boutique's roof. I wouldn't say their prices are a bargain, that's why this new 3 in 1 piece set is such a terrific deal! These items are fantastic summer and fall staples that you can wear separately, or mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe.

Choose from four colors (dark brown, camel, black or grey) and one size fits all. Available online, click here.

HALT HEADBAND HEADACHE!

Don't you hate it when you buy a cute headband only to find out that it gives you a migraine after wearing it for three hours?

Don't you hate it when you buy a cute headband only to find out that it gives you a migraine after wearing it for three hours? Then you're stuck in this dilemma because you've got this awful line right in the front of your hair - but if you don't take it off, the back of your ears will become so tender it becomes hard to even speak. I've found the best brand ever!

Susan Daniel's Headbands are covered in thick enough cloth to make them super comfortable. She sells them everywhere...Henri Bendel, Kitson, Target etc... She's been making them forever, but here are a few from her newest line:

1" Shiny Velvet Lavender Headband with Bow ($53.00)
Available in 1/2" ($44.00)

2 7/8" - Wide Black Polka Dot Limited Edition Headband ($53.00)

White Satin Headband With Black Braid ($44.00)

She also makes soft headbands, see these totally pain-free options, read more

Project Runway

Project Runway: It's a Matter of Taste

Last week Project Runway took cute to the next level and asked the designers to create an outfit for "fashion's hottest accessory" - the little dog!

Last week Project Runway took cute to the next level and asked the designers to create an outfit for "fashion's hottest accessory" - the little dog!

Seriously, what's better than that face?

Nina Garcia, Vera Wang and Ivanka Trump were this week's judges, but the scorecard of who won and lost this week only tells half the story. Continuing her love affair with prints, Uli won with this flowing, patterned dress.

Check out the daring mix and match of printed fabrics.

In his subsequent podcast, Tim Gunn even went so far as to compare Uli to Diane von Furstenburg, the "master of the print." Snapz to Uli!

Katherine, leaving her sportswear comfort zone, lost with what I thought was a perfectly respectable, if rather plain, slip dress. Sure, it was boring, but did she deserve to go home?

Especially when you compare it to this mess from Angela?

"My story is about a British headmistress of an art camp in Paris, and the camp is called Jubilee Jumbles..." Huh?

Or the fact that Bradley's design was put together a mere two hours before he sent it down the runway and basically copied Daniel V's orchid dress from Season 2?

Or the fact that Keith not only refused to design an outfit for the dog, but then he LIED to the judges and told them that he actually designed four outfits before he stole an accessory off the wall and clipped it around the dog's neck!

LA Made

LA Made Makes me Happy

Ever since low rise jeans became all the rage a few years ago, women all over the globe have been wrestling with how to be fashionable yet be able to actually sit down without showing the world your "coin slot" (such term so affectionately "coined" on a Saturday Night Live episode earlier this year).

Ever since low rise jeans became all the rage a few years ago, women all over the globe have been wrestling with how to be fashionable yet be able to actually sit down without showing the world your "coin slot" (such term so affectionately "coined" on a Saturday Night Live episode earlier this year). Enter LA Made, a line of t-shirts and tanks that are made much longer than normal to help solve this problem. A lot of you may be thinking, too little too late, low rise jeans have been around for years! Well yes, I do agree, why didn't' they think of this earlier?
