Just because a book is on a “best-seller” list doesn’t mean it’s great.
One recent example is the latest installment of “Gossip Girl” (more on that in a moment). Sadly, the original “Gossip Girl” series was such a huge hit it has been made into a successful TV program. Fans abound, but do adults really know what’s in these novels and the TV programs? Probably not. Let me fill you in with a quick synopsis of the type of content that’s in the newest novel, “Gossip Girl Psycho [...]

In the movie, the actor looks considerably less dapper than usual. Not only is his hair far grayer than in real life, his character’s clothing choices are downright suburban.
"I know! Yeah, that was almost ending all masculinity," the New York Post quoted Clooney as telling the website Celebuzz at the Critics Choice Awards.
"The minute you pull the khakis up about there, and the Hawaiian shirt tucked in to down there… It will [...]

Usually you hear many names — Harry Winston, Lorraine Schwartz, Van Clef & Arpel — when actresses are asked about their jewelry on a red carpet. But at the 2012 Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala on Saturday (Jan. 7) one name was on almost everyone’s lips. Cartier.The jewelry company sponsored the festival for the 5th year in a row and offered their jewels to the award-winners and presenters. Who could say no, right? Only Octavia Spencer — who wore Neil Lane jewelry to accent her David Meister [...]

Until Houston gets its own H&M, no trip to Dallas is complete without a shopping stop at NorthPark Center, currently one of two spots in Texas for an H&M fix. The other H&M opened in November at Town East Mall in the Dallas/Mesquite area.
Inquiries to Willowbrook Mall were referred to H&M, which has yet to comment on any locations. By summer, a couple of other locations will be “sprinkled” throughout the city, she said. When asked about a more central location in The Galleria, the [...]

In the photos, Kunis keeps it simple, with her hair drawn back and dressed in [...]

While on a Chanel high (see my previous Pin Code piece), it is only fair to pay equal respect to the woman and legend behind the brand that has single-handedly made quilted bags and ballerina flats universal Fashion must-haves. Gabrielle, or "Coco" as she preferred, was a complex and complicated woman. Or, atleast, that is how she is portrayed in the three (yes, three) books that came out just this season. Having only read one so far, I can promise that Coco’s romances are explored just as [...]

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively adds a feminine touch to her blue Elie Saab Smoking Suit with lace detailing on the shoulders. We heart the daring no-inner look — quite a tease. Cocktail ring phase much? The sexy star has lately been seen donning chunky rings rather than the layered neckpieces and chokers we are so used to — she needs to change things a bit. ASAP! Other than that, totally terrific Deepika Padukone seems to be in a fab lace phase. This black dress, a super [...]
