Supernatural Botanicals

What’s new with jeans this year?  Lycra!  Jeggings are currently taking over the denim section in department stores.  Jeggings are leggings which are styled to look like super-tight, skinny leg denim jeans.  Considered the comfy approach to the 80′s look skinny leg that has taken root again with masses.  Love it or hate it?

“I like my body now, at 47, better than ever.  It’s taken a lot of hard work at the gym.”  Designer Marc Jacobs on his incredible new buff body.  Kudos, Mr. Jacobs.  You look sensational! 

If you love the timeless dresses worn by the ladies on Mad Men, then you’ll love Mod Cloth.  Mod Cloth  is the go-to source for super-cute dresses.  They have classic 60s-esque dresses that are absolutely gorgeous!  If you work this look properly, you can practically make your waste disappear.  It’s all about the illusion, ladies.  These dresses are your friends….trust. 

Supernatural Botanicals will be providing Swag Bag-spa products for this event.  The first 100 people will receive a swag bag.  It’s a must!  Don’t miss this. 

“I know how to spend extravagantly – I think nothing of spending $8,000 on a corset for my show. My accountant once said he couldn’t understand how I spent $70,000 on a single dress, but then he came to my show and saw how lavish it was and told me afterwards that now he understood.”  Dita Von Teese on spending. 

Put on your party dress and highest heels…it’s New Year’s Eve!

Chocolate brown walls are really hot right now.  Brown is the new black …or at least it is this season.  Chocolate brown walls are super-chic and rich looking and dramatically transform a room into an elegant, grown up space.  If you are color-phobic, start with painting one wall in your space a deep shade of chocolate, and accessorize with creamy white mouldings.  It’s a gorgeous look, and can go across the board style-wise, from urban to suburban.   (And to be green…Make sure the paint you purchase is either low-VOCs or no-VOCs. )

Color Trending for 2010:  Blue has been gone for so long, it’s making its way back onto the color wheel.  With a heavy emphasis on earth tones, golden honey especially, blue walls took a back seat.  Now we see it’s reemerging in every form.  Robin’s egg blue (or Tiffany’s box blue, if you prefer) and shades of everything from tans to deep chocolate browns are showing up in design everywhere.  Embrace the color blue, it’s on its way back.

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.
