Grab bag

by Heather Bouzan | April 07, 2008
What's the fun in breezing through a department store in search of this season's It Bag? Sometimes we prefer the intrigue of an eBay browse, a sample sale, or the second annual "What's in a Bag?" handbag auction at the Boston Harbor...

Fan-fugging-tastic

by Heather Bouzan | March 10, 2008

Wear to party

by Heather Bouzan | November 30, 2007

Elements of Style

by Heather Bouzan | October 29, 2007

Hair today, gone tomorrow

by Heather Bouzan | October 17, 2007
In a perfect world, we'd laser unwanted hair off and it'd never return. But professional treatments can be pricey and difficult to schedule. And since we have no affection for our lady razor (thanks to 657 blood-gushing gouges), we jumped at the...

A Century of Chic

Hot Smile: California Kissin' by Benefit

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Brushing, flossing, bleaching - the lengths to which we'll go to keep our pearly-whites sparkling cannot be measured. Yet no matter what we do, we still feel they're not up to snuff. Sure, sacking the morning latte wouldn't hurt, but what's...

Hot Workout Cheat: FitFlops

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Okay, so we're total gym-phobes. And when we do make it onto the treadmill - well, let's just say our focus is more on the hard body glistening on the machine next to us than on the calories we're attempting to burn. Hence our obsession with...
