Awards season is upon us once again, which means the fashion critiquing can officially commence! Despite tough economic times, it seems like many stars are stepping out on the red carpet in dramatic, gorgeous frothy gowns for the rest of us to envy from afar....well, for the most part. Tragic messes always consistently turn out to any awards show--to up the entertainment factor, if nothing else! Major red carpet trends at this year's Emmy Awards included Grecian gowns, berry hues and one-s...

I can't take two steps out of my L.A. apartment without spotting a sea of plaid everywhere I look. This ubiquitous pattern may just be one of the few trends that prim girls in Beverly Hills and hipsters in Silverlake both seem to agree on. Don't know whether to run for cover or to just give in and button on a flannel shirt and call it a day? Here's where to score some tartan of your own.

They don't always hit it on the bullseye every time, but they come pretty damn close... Target has pioneered the uber-popular designer collaboration trend, and it has taken off with lightening speed! (P.S. Sidenote, fashionistas--Jimmy Choo's exclusive H&M line will debut November 14, 2009...mark your calendars!) After all, who doesn't love hip, of-the-moment fashion for a fraction of the designer price tag? It seems like every time you wander into your neighborhood Target, there's a ne...

Maybe it's the journalist/editor/former spelling bee star in me, but I seriously get a kick out of correcting typos on a daily basis. There's nothing worse than poor grammar/misspellings on important documents/collateral/d... Errr, yes, desserts. Not to be a hater on the sheet cake queens employed at the local grocery store/CostCo/neighborhood bakery, but some of these cake slip-ups found on www.CakeWrecks.Blogspo... are downright hilarious! Here are a few perfectly good cakes that were rui...

Gwen Stefani said it best: "Harajuku Girls you got the wicked style I like the way that you are, I am your biggest fan... You're so original girls, You got the look that makes you stand out... You mix and match it, girls... You dress so fly and just parade around." Although trendy Harajuku Girls (decked out in crazy-creative ensembles and over-the-top hair and makeup to boot) have been bopping around the streets of Japan for quite some time; it wasn't until Stefani's bubble-pop-electric be...

Ahhh, yes. Holiday season. So the economy is in a crunch and everybody's cutting back, but hopefully the holidays won't be a total bust this year, too. Start dreaming, kids (but prepare yourself for disappointment, if need be), because it's never too early to start that wish list! Even if you haven't actually drafted a legit wish list in years, you've probably made a few mental notes of cool gadgets/products/fabulous finds that have caught your eye lately. Whether you're an online shop...

If you weren't blessed with naturally lovely, plush lashes, and/or are up to your ears in mascaras and eyelash curlers that don't live up to their claims, you've probably dabbled with the idea of fake lashes or eyelash extensions. Not just for pageant princesses or drag queens, fake lashes can convincingly work for everyday with careful application and lash sourcing. Plus, they can even save you time and skip the mascara process all together! Want to grow your own? There are more impress...

Ugh. First dates are never easy, so why do we keep putting ourselves through the potentially awkward/awful/infuriating social situations they often times inevitably bring? To keep hope alive that somewhere out there you WILL eventually find your perfect match?!? Not so sure about that one...but in the meantime, first dates continue to provide me (and my friends) with countless entertaining stories to laugh about. So, spill it! Share your most hilarious WTF first date moments with me. :)

As temperatures start to rise, frozen yogurt sales naturally start to sky rocket. You've probably succumbed to the delicious, addictive delight of Pinkberry (and its many imposters) fully aware that you're probably overpaying for such a simple treat; but convince yourself that since you loaded up on fruit, granola and nuts, you're actually being healthy... And with the dizzying assortment of topping options before us these days, it's certainly tempting to keep going back for experimental pu...
