They're symbolic of this season's '80s revival and make everyone pop. All you have to do is pick the color that complements your personality. I'm a hot pink gal because it means girlie yet Read more
Bright. Bold. Ballsy. These are all words to describe one who chooses to wear super saturated hues - and more power to you! I thought it would be helpful to share some tips about how to wear brights, whether you are already a BBB bright wearing babe or especially if you are on the fence and not quite ready, yet. These are tips from Polly Allen Mellen and me. Mellen is a fashion legend of sorts, Read more
Colorful maxi dresses are all the rage these days. Here is one, Jonathan Sanders Wyler Maxi Dress, $3,370, that is more evening. Although maxi dresses don't flatter everyone, I love the acid bright colors, the silk chiffon panel down the center and the sleek short sleeves. I'd gladly rock this at a fashion soirée. Would you? To post your selections go to the Love It or Hate It? group. And if Read more
Many a trend are inspired by street style. Hold on because brights are passe and acid brights are in full force. From the NY club kids of yore to the British invasion of Boombox, these colors scream fashion anarchy. It's time to decide: are you ready to screw being a wallflower and shout it out loud?

Trench coats: they're cool and classic and lend a polished vibe to your look — no matter what you happen to be wearing underneath. The sleek silhouette calls to mind fashion icons like Jackie O., Katharine Hepburn, or Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (who can forget her trench coat flapping in the breeze?).

One of the perks of Summer is that all sorts of produce, commonplace and unusual, start to appear out of nowhere. Case in point: nopales, or cactus pads, have showed up in Northern California markets. Pronounced "noh-pah-lays", these vegetables are the leaves of the Nopal or prickly pear cactus. They're not only edible but possess a mellow flavor that's similar to that of green beans. Keep Read more
One of my favorite appetizers during the Summer months is a bright, zippy ceviche. Turns out, I'm not the only one; LesleyKat loves serving ceviche in warm weather, too. As much as love eyeliner, glitter and all things beauty another passion of mine includes making party food. I love the rush of getting it all done in time and seeing people enjoy food. OK, so I like to stroke my ego a bit by Read more
