Diamonds may be a girl’s ‘best friend’, but girlfriend, I dare you to find a hotter jewelry trend than pearls.  Keep those heirloom “Barbara Bush” pearls in storage for those special occasions… weddings and funerals.   The “NEW” …

What’s *pink* like candy, *soft* like a marshmallow and *warm* like a crackling fire???  No, not a fresh baked cupcake… it’s my new pink Snuggie!  The one I have is not an official “As Seen …

Football.  It’s just a Southern Way of life… or is it?  While all my gal pals get antsy over tailgating, turnovers and touchdowns , I would just rather go shopping, see a movie, or simply …

Admit it, you wanna try it.
I fell into the ‘As Seen on TV’ vortex by recently purchasing a set of Bumpit’s. They are easy to find, just plop into any Walgreens and you …

Do you know the definition of embarrassment?  I will define it for you as I experienced it this weekend.  But first, let me set the stage.  Labrador Retrievers are one of America’s most popular and …

That whole ‘white after Labor Day’ really got me thinking about what we as a society find acceptable and not acceptable. In 1950, it may have been the norm to pack up white clothing, shoes …

On September 7th, Erin’s Style File poses the age-old question: “Is it acceptable to wear white after Labor Day?”   While I was pondering, I came across an ad in a magazine that suggested “Do a Don’t”.  Then I …

There’s football and Labor Day.  But nothing compares as a un-official start of fall like the day Starbucks starts serving the Pumpkin Spice Latte.  www.starbucks.com describes this delectable bev as: a delicious blend of pumpkin and traditional …

Peppermint.
White.
Chocolate.
Mocha.

What up divas?!  Let’s forget the recession for just a nano-second and let’s think about $5 cups of coffee.  There is just something about a Starbucks drink that puts this High Maintenance Chick in her ‘happy place’.  Someone …

Don’t cha just love Facebook?  I had no idea what to write about this week.  So, I let my fingers do the walking and polled my Facebook Friends to find out their most burning beauty/style …

Before we wrap up this series for the week, there is one more look I have to share.  Blue + Orange!!!  It’s the finale because:

Here is a ‘TGIF” look for you… complete with fake lashes!!!!  Green is a great alternative to black in creating the much sought after smoky eye and complements all eye colors.  From Lime to Ivy, …

One of my fave make-up looks to complement a simple outfit is Lilac Eyeshadow with Red Lipstick.  I love it in the magazines, on me and on anyone I see.  It’s a new classic!

These daily make up looks remind me of  ‘days of the week’ panties!
Sky Blue and Chocolate Brown clothing has been a wardrobe staple for years.  While I’m not a fan of matchy-matchy clothes and make-up, …

Pink is a natural on lips, cheeks and fingertips.  But what about pink shades on the eye area?  If wearing pink near the eye makes you think ‘pink eye’, think again.  Pink accentuates blue eyes …
