The Warren-Tricomi hair salon has a new home in New York City, and I was fortunate enough to go visit this week: The Plaza hotel (actually, it’s now called The Plaza Retail Collection, since half of the famed hotel was recently turned into condominiums and retail spots). And what a space it is! The salon […]

Man oh man, in the words of Corina, “Temptation is a part of life, it doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or right.” Do you remember that 90’s jam?

Yesterday I went to Lather Spa in NYC for a full-body exfoliation using their antioxidant Cranberry Sugar Rub, followed by a Vichy shower. I’d never had a Vichy shower before, but I was familiar with their line of body products at lather.com. I would’ve been super-psyched for the treatment except for the fact that I […]

I’m not the type to get on a plane in sweatpants. I think you should be dressed up to fly and show some respect for the people you’re visiting. Plus, doesn’t it hype you up for the trip if you’re wearing festive attire? Anyway, as you’ve probably guessed, I also wear makeup on airplanes; not […]

Angelique: I love gold. Gold jewelry, gold Gummy Bears…
Laura Mercier: Me too. Why do you think I added the shade to every product in this collection?
Angelique: You know what my favorite piece is? The Eye […]

The other day my friend Jessica was telling me a story about how she was hooking up with a guy the other night and when they were done he asked, “Did you have a burger today? You smell like beef.”
Ay dios mio! I was totally mortified just hearing the story. I’m petrified of that specific […]

I don’t have children, or any baby sisters or nieces. But if I did, I would be all over Vera Wang Glittery Shimmer Stick ($25, sephora.com). Vera Wang’s pretty tween-teen fragrance Princess was a flowery success, and now in solid, sparkling form, it is the perfect present to gift that special girl in your life. […]

I love the summer. Love the flowers, love the BBQ’s, love the strappy dresses, love the drive-ins and weekend nights that last forever; love it all. And now I have yet another reason to add to the list: Clarins has made the spectacular commitment to donate 100 percent of profits made from online purchases of […]

Romantic comedies are in a sad state. You don’t even need to see the trailer for My Best Friend’s Girl to make that statement—though it certainly helps, because everything about that trailer is another shovelful of dirt on the romantic comedy’s coffin. Kate Hudson plays, for what seems like the umpteenth time, a cute girl […]
