Carson Kressley gives us the skinny on what every man’s wardrobe should consist of.  Ladies, you may need to help your man out in this department, but after they learn the basics, they’ll do fine on their own. 

Gorgeous Fall/Winter style by my ultimate style icon, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.  Look and learn …her style is classic.  (Still.)   For a more indepth look at Carolyn, see this post. 

“Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got.”  Sophia Loren on sex appeal.

Besides being America’s sweetheart, Christie Brinkley is a style icon.  Christie works the Hamptons look with such amazing ease.  Her style is always tailored, always classic, always appropriate, and of course, always gorgeous!

To steal Christie’s look, lean toward the preppy side, no bright colors, choose classic timeless pieces, like a great pencil skirt or a beautiful Fedora-style hat, stick with monotones, and keep jewelry to a minimum.  Love that Hampton’s look!

After a long battle with cancer, the iconic Farrah Fawcett passed away today in Los Angeles at the young age of 62.  Ryan O’Neal was at her side.  From a Charlie’s angel to God’s angel.  R.I.P.  Sadness.

Nail it every time!  To look better in pictures, put your hands on your waist….it brings attention to the finished part of your torso.  Step forward with one foot to create a long, lean line with your legs.  It’s a secret that stars have been privy to for years. 

On May 19, 2009, I’ve been extended the wonderful opportunity by Smart Talk Women’s series to meet the fabulous Diane Keaton in Cincinnati.  I’ll be asking Diane some questions….make sure and send me what you want to know, straight from DK herself!

Diane is such an icon!  I relate to so many of her characters…especially JC in Baby Boom.  The Tiger Lady.  Who didn’t want to be her?  Every ambitious career girl can relate to JC.  Business world takes the Tiger Lady down.  Tiger Lady channels her own brilliance, and ends up turning the business world down in the end.

It was this movie where I developed my love for all things East Coast.  Ever since, I’ve wanted to uproot and move to my own 62 acre Vermont estate.  I still haven’t ruled that out, as a matter of fact.  Moving to Vermont and making organic baby food from the apples I grow would not be that far out of the realm of normal for me, after all.

In the end, JC wanted it all, and she got it all!  That’s why it’s always good to want it all. Break the glass ceiling.  I think that if you stay true to whatever it is you desire, if you want it all. you just might get it.  That’s why it’s good to keep wanting….wanting it all.

Watch JC in action.  She’s my hero!
