She Knows Press Release:


Whether you’re looking for jet set soybean cashmere sweats to wear on the plane or the best tote of the summer (hey, if it’s good enough for Julia Roberts and Katie Couric, it’s good enough for you), there’s something for everybody in Mary Jo Matsumoto’s round up of the latest and greatest travel essentials at www.sheknows.com.

Style expert Mary Jo Matsumoto, known lately for finding the latest breaking high tech trends in fashion and life, sheds light on the newest products that will make your summer sojourns sweet and easy. If you’re looking for a crash-proof pink laptop bag, a tiny perfume scientifically proven to take six years off your age, a milk spun sleep mask that will keep your eyes from getting bloodshot on long plane rides, an mp3 player the size of a pack of gum, or a battery re-charger that will work anywhere in the world — then you need to check out this handy list of travel essentials.

For those of you less enamored with life in the fast lane, there are also loads of charming irresistible products that you may find you can’t live without. For example, Matsumoto profiles the latest old-fashioned paisley roll-on suitcase with matching travel organizers, an all-natural skin care travel kit that fits neatly into your carry-on bag, an aromatherapy spray to get rid of “hotel smell” and lovely silk pillowcases to make your room feel like home away from home.
Even if you’re not going anywhere, you can still get the feeling of exotic romance by wearing Scent of A Woman, a new fragrance Mary Jo recommends which is based on the historical meeting of Anthony and Cleopatra.

Review:
Both the magazine reference, and She Knows web sites could be, depending on your taste, extremely important to you in your list of items to consider. It is in " how " you are represented in public which really denotes your willingness to embrace life.

Moreover, there is nothing more moody and relaxing to the touch of a womyn's skin than silk. And whooo...aw all the way when its a good fit and style. Can you feel yourself buzzing now ? Satin is another gem of wearing fabric.

Gwen Stinks it Up

Gwen Stinks it Up

No, I’m not talking about her latest single (although I definitely could be), but about her latest fashion/beauty project. Coty has enlisted Gwen Stefani to create a series of L.A.M.B. scents, the first of which will be released in fall 2007. Stefani says Eau de Gwen #1 will be “broad, classic, and timeless, but from there, I can get more specific with my next one.”

Somehow I completely trust Gwen’s ability to create fun, unique fragrances. She may get a bit weird with her musical endeavours, and have strange taste in hairstyles from time to time, but her L.A.M.B. line is always on point (check out this amazing dress to see what I mean.) If nothing else, we know her scents will come in cute bottles.

Review:

Gals its the this amazing dress portion of this press release you should take a gander at.

Pink ????

thought of those wild-haired troll dolls that were popular in my youth when I saw these pictures of Pink at the E! Golden Globes after party. It’s her hair, of course, but the dress is also too short for her and has the effect of making her look like a toy. It’s even got pockets on the side where you can stash little barrettes and a comb for her hair.

Pink has recanted her statement that people should boycott Australian wool, saying that she appeared in a PETA video without doing research on the issue. She said she was not aware that the Australian wool industry has promised to phase out the practice of mulesing, where strips of skin are stripped from around the sheep’s tail. Mulesing is different from just removing the wool, and is initially painful to the sheep. The wool industry argues that without mulesing, sheep can get maggot eggs in that area, which is arguably more painful for them and can result in death.

The troll in the header image can be purchased on eBay, and its owner even lovingly weaved a lot of mohair together to give it two-toned hair. Maybe Pink should get some extensions

Review:

I swa this, and thought. Well reader what do you think? Does she? Or doesn't She ?

Err....

Is pretending to be a Doll ? And at the Oscars too - the last one that is ...

Get your ASS to Ithaca

Shangri-La's most wam and cozy ready made silk velvet devore burnout garment is the kaftan, modelled after traditional Middle Eastern attire for men, this is a fabulous unisex garment. Shangri-La's charmeuse kaftan is equally suitable to use as a robe for lounging around the house or as a cloak for going out for a night on the town. It is available in all of our exclusive silk velvet patterns and colors.

Review:

One of the reason why I writing is because of someone who I learned Latin dance from in Ithaca. The other is that I like what he his doing with the Internet. Thus I ran into one of his links on Ithaca Night Life ( NightLife ), NY. and found Shangri-La Gifts - who I visited last Summer.

I can not begin to tell the additional items in which they are creating Kim and Gosline. But if you really want a real one of kind and extremely trendy then get a ticket, reserve a hotel room and get your ASS to Ithaca. Now!

Some additional LA styles from 2006

Go: Park Vogel sample sale, October 6 in L.A.

Once upon a time I had a Park Vogel long-sleeved tee that was maybe the most perfect t-shirt I've owned in all my life, supersoft and with real good cling - like, better even than American Apparel or the most nicely faded thriftstore tee you could ever find. But because I'm sort of a five-year-old and prone to so much messiness, what was once white has now become stained and spotted with various colors from various kinds of spills. Heartbreaking, because I especially adore Park Vogel for its eco-conscious production practices:

To help curb air pollution, designers Julie Park and Vanessa Vogel get their Swiss cotton from an energy-efficient Australian mill that recycles its chemicals (so that they're not put back into the environment).
The happy ending to my story is that this Friday, Park Vogel (along with Woo) will be joining the Lily McNeal sample sale happening in L.A.. That means up to 80 percent off beautiful t-shirts, which may or may not include my favorite Park Vogel styles:

Review:

Hey college gals...this is it for that lazy evening to impress the academic, and make the nerds swet. Nonetheless, especially if you are applying for grad school at the same campus, then you should get in to this immediately - survival gals.

The model far away distant and dumb looks is appealing. But just for a while. None the less, it does convey the image of the style.

Review:

This stuff are largely for those who enjoy the easy in life and just want to be warm and cozy. Thus you will look good, but nothing exciting.

So its great for housewives, and those who wish to convey confortable social messages - strickly middle class and middle class wana - bees.
