True Whit {Whitney Port's Book}
Posted by Sarah books, feature, Shelby, TV 4:00 PMI’m not sure how many of you guys are fans of The Hills out there, and to tell you the truth, I’m not a huge fan of the show, although I was my freshman year of high school. I’ve always loved Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port. I loved and admired the fact that both of them had dreams and goals before making it on the show, and weren’t just trying to make their 15 minutes of fame, like some reality stars. They just took an opportunity to get their name out there, and there’s nothing wrong with that! We’ve been able to see their journey on camera, for most of the way, and see what they’ve become today.
In the book, "True Whit"
Whitney talks about decorating, beauty, health, dating, fashion (of course) and how to make it on your own when you’re in your 20’s, which I found helpful. She kept things fun, giving her experiences and stories of each topic, and a few behind the scenes stories of what being on the show was really like. Whitney says, “Think of this book as your road map to discovering what you want in life and how to make it happen.”
The 20’s can be a confusing time. I think it’s great to have some helpful hints from someone who’s on her way to becoming a businesswoman at a younger age. I found some great ideas for decorating, some healthier snacks I can eat during the day, and just overall, how to take care of me. I recommend this book to anyone interested in fashion or a fan of Whitney’s. It was a fun read!

Lighting is Everything! {Make Up Tips}
Posted by Sarah Fashion, Hailey 3:47 PM
I recently watched The Today Show where they featured Bobbi Brown during the Fashion and Beauty hour. Bobbi Brown
gives tips on applying foundation and it turned out to be my number one rule when applying my foundation and bronzer/blush! Now, I know that the natural light can be a little scary when your getting ready in the morning, because it shows every flaw! But, you can make sunlight your new best friend! From now on, when applying your foundation, open up your curtains and let the sun shine through. I sit out in my living room when applying my makeup because it's where I get the most sunlight. You'll see that putting on your foundation in the natural light won't let you miss any flaw on your face! Unlike your bathroom lights, the sunlight will show everything, so you won't miss a single spot on your face that needs to be covered or blended in. Plus to make it even better, you will no longer have to fear stepping outside and realizing your makeup isn't as pretty as you thought! It's happened to the best of us! Try this tip and trust me, you'll be doing it every day with a smile on your face!

DIY: Pamper Me Pretty
Posted by Sarah Alli, Fashion, feature 9:34 AM
One of my favorite things is a fun trip to the spa with either my girls or my mom. It’s relaxing and always ends with major gossiping, whether it be about friends, family, the girl down the street or (my favorite) celebrities. In this economy however, trips to the spa have been limited to very few or none at all for many people. Lately, I’ve just been too busy to hit the nail salon or the spa, so I’ve been pampering myself! I took a trip to the local grocery/drug store and got myself: an avocado mask, waxing strips, a foot pumice, foot scrub, nail file, nose strips, teeth whitening strips, hair dye, cucumbers, smoothie mix, etc., you get the idea. Now, I like to have “me” time, so I usually lay all this stuff out, pop in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and have some alone time. But you could also have girl time! Send text-vites, e-vites, or any other kind of “invite” you want to your closest gal-pals and have a girl’s day in. Make smoothies and pamper yourselves! This is a fun, frugal way of relaxing and allowing yourself the pampering you deserve!
The best part is, you save money! Take a look…
Spa price Your price
60 min. facial: $65 Avocado mask: $4
Full facial wax: $45 Waxing strips: $5
Pedicure: $45 Foot pumice/scrub: $8
Manicure: $35 Nail file/polish: $10
Teeth whitening: $100 Whitening strips: $30
Hair coloring: $50 Hair color: $10
Going to a spa and getting these services costs $340, whereas the DIY price is only $67! That’s a $273 savings! I’ve found that hanging out in my PJ’s with my girls is much more fun than going to the spa, and you don’t have to worry about eavesdroppers!

Galliano Gone & Our Intern Juliann Is Furious
Posted by Sarah Fashion, feature 6:28 PM
Natalie Portman, a face for Christian Dior Parfumes, issued a statement including comments such as, "shocked and disgusted." Portman, who is proud to be Jewish no longer wishes to associate herself with Galliano in any way; however, she made no comment regarding Dior.
However, the real question is do you think Galliano deserves all the backlash for a comment made while under the influence? It is indeed a shame that such a reknown designer is being kicked out by the fashion industry for a comment that insulted an entire group of people. Yet does the fashion industry have to suffer the consequence of being associated with a designer known for his creativity verses his drunken comments? What do you think?

Spring is on the Way and 70's Glamour is Here to Stay
Posted by Sarah Fashion, feature 3:09 PM
The sun is shining and temperatures are rising as the first day of spring starts to draw closer. There were many trends shown at the spring 2011 fashion shows, but the style I am most excited for is 70's glamour. Bring on the peasant blouses with embellishment and details that even the most preppy of shoppers will want to try. The effortless free flowing 70's style goes perfectly with spring's careless demeanor. How to capture this cool-vibe for a weekend or night out with the girls without going too "Saturday Night Fever," Take a glimpse at the go-to listbelow to create your perfect 70's glamour outfit!
-High Waisted Jeans: as shown below Jessica Alba,Audrina Patrdige, and Kourtney Kardashian rock "the Georgia" by 7 for All Mankind Jeans. Retailing at $189.00
- Decorative blouses and tunics definitely give the 70's vibe, found at one of the best low cost merchandisers Forever 21 costing approximately $25.00. Want the more high-end names Free People has the great sheer 70's blouses.
-Accessories Gold jewelry with turquoise or earth tone hoops can pull the outfit together perfectly. Word of advice, stick to larger earrings if the shirt is a more elaborate design and stay clear of the necklace. If a more simple top with one basic color find a pop of turquoise, violet, emerald, or coral. For an example, there's a beautiful necklace from francescascollections.com, retailing at $24.50.
-Finally, to finish out the outfit and to keep the style still flattering either wear a nude heel to not conflict with rest of the outfit or brown leather,seude, or weaved platform wedges. Below are a few inspirations found at piperlime.com ranging from $80-$235
