One Easy Piece

American Apparel
Danskin
Capezio

Whenever I use the term "one-easy-piece", it's usually in reference to polyester, 70's attire. But, I've recently been searching out a "one-easy-piece" AKA "unitard".

Tights. Maybe it's just me but they never seem to stay up. So, why not wear a unitard to solve the problem? Unitards aren't super-easy to find but I did locate a few options. American Apparel's version is probably the most accessible but it's also 95% cotton which means it will fade more than it's synthetic sisters.

One obvious draw back of the unitard? Full undress when nature calls.

Rrraaarr!

Love, love, love all the animal prints and exotic skins that are strong again for fall. Bought a leopard fedora recently - to be worn on "brave" days. Two rules apply when wearing animal prints:

  1. Best with black (or at least a solid color like the red above).
  2. Keep to a minimum (1 piece).
It won't be tough to find animal print at all price points this fall so take your pick and wear it proudly!

We're So Vain: Healthy Lips


I visited the The Brow Studio last week for my usual 15 minutes of suffering for beauty. While in the torture chamber/waxing chair, I was rubbing my poor, chapped lips. The technician stopped and said, "Do you want to get that?", referring to the huge chunk of dry skin hanging off my lower lip.

Gross. And embarrassing.

When my eyebrows were finished, the lovely lady recommended a few lip-care products. She told me if I used B Kamins Lip Balm, my lips would be moisturized and fabulous within 24 hours. I was skeptical.

Guess what? She was right. This stuff is money. And I do mean MONEY - $21 bucks worth. Totally worth it. Especially going into the deep, dark, desert winter.

Bonus Points: SPF 20
