Golden Globes

Red Carpet Secrets: Beware Of Beaming Headlights

With the Golden Globes just one week away, we are revving up to see what the red carpet has in store for us this season.

With the Golden Globes just one week away, we are revving up to see what the red carpet has in store for us this season. One thing is for sure, there are certain things we definitely don't want to see and that is any nip slips or perky headlights - though it does make for good gossip! All week long we are going to share some red carpet secrets with you. Enjoy!

If you have not yet heard of the The NuBra, $60, get to know your new best friend. These adhesive silicone cups give you the freedom to do whatever you dare as well as make you appear as though you are going bra-less. I call them "chicken cutlets" because they feel surprisingly like real breasts, but also kinda like raw meat! How's that for a description?

They are incredible and the most popular gift I give to my friends. They are painless to remove (unlike the band aid-like pasty fangle florals, $8 for three pairs which hurt and burn when you pull them off).

NuBras are thick enough to give you support and to keep your nipples from showing through a t-shirt, but thin enough so they create a smooth and invisible illusion. A clear clip attaches the two cups and allows you to create the amount of cleavage you desire. They last for up to 150 wears.

Love It or Hate It

Karl Lagerfeld Wool Pencil Skirt: Love It or Hate It?

You know when you see a fashion item that you think is really fabulous but then you wonder: can I pull that off?

You know when you see a fashion item that you think is really fabulous but then you wonder: can I pull that off? This Karl Lagerfeld Wool Pencil Skirt, $425, is a good example of this. While I think this deconstructed look is really interesting and the asymmetrical layering is way cool, I just don't know if I could pull this off. Also, what would you wear with this? Everything else would have to be very simple, as to not take away from the skirt being the focal point. What do you think? Love or hate?
