Since I’m always shopping online (almost as much as offline!) I often come across interesting sites. Either by surfing or people emailing them to me, there’s always something new. The newest find is a couple of clothing sites - try revolve or asos for great fashions and summer dresses. A new brand I’ve come across recently but haven’t gotten around to mentioning is Trina Turk.
Cool item of the moment…
Have a look at the ultimate nail file from Avon – seriously! With 7 options in one file, it deserves the title ‘ultimate’. The front side buffs, shines and makes them look neat while the back side of the file smoothes, refines, shapes and makes them perfect.

You’ve seen the look and always wondered where to begin. While it isn’t rocket science, it does help to know what you’re looking for if you want to be Dressing Like a Diva.
5. The Accessories: Adding a “bit of bling” to your ensemble goes a long way in your quest for Divahood. Over-doing it is something that the traditional Diva’s would be ridiculed for in the press. “Maybe she’s trying to flag down the mother ship and get back to her planet of origin” would be a likely comment from the entertainment media, so our respected Diva’s have professional help when it comes to this area. Yes, many of them hire someone specifically for this purpose. Unless you have a few thousand dollars hanging around and nothing else to do with it, you’re on your own. Here’s a bit of advice.
· While “simple” sells, it doesn’t exactly put you into the status of Divaness. Think Scarlett Johansson on the Red Carpet when you think “Un-Diva” and Britney Spears, Diana Ross and/or Mariah Carey on it when you think of “Diva”. No matter if you can’t stand a melodic note that pours out of Mariah’s mouth, you have to admit that “all eyes are on her” when she walks into a room.
· If you’re going for colossal, rhinestone earrings, keep the necklace of choice in good taste. The same goes for the opposite. If you have a chain of bling that you just need to drape around your neck, the earrings shouldn’t be “over the top”, especially if your hair is short or in an up-do. Longer hair that covers earrings gives a little extra leeway on wearing diamond-studded dangles or huge hoops.
· Shoes are considered by many to be more than something that keeps your feet enclosed and safe from stepping on glass and other unmentionables. The perfect pair of shoes can be the final accessory to tying together your outfit of choice. Think about that when picking out your bling.

Like most women, sex is a pleasure we all enjoy and many can’t do with out. Speaking for myself, I was estatic back when they announced the movie. To clarify, I’m speaking of the movie Sex and the City, which I refer to as sex.
It’s led to some strange looks. I remember telling my girlfriends how I was “watching some sex” and how it was really hot, especially when Mr. Big showed up. Well, you get the idea.
I’ve been waiting for what now feels like a billion (maybe a billion and a half) years, and now I’m reading how the movie is a smorgasbord of advertising and I’m starting to think my over anticipation will leave me with an underwhelmed feeling by setting the bar too high?

I loved these the moment I saw them. Open toed boots, where have you been? Perfect for the change of seasons or when it might be a little cool for a sandal.
Regarded as a transitional season shoes or the sandal bootie, they get my vote. Sarah Jessica Parker wears them throughout the soon to be released movie Sex and the City.
I sense a trend coming.

4. The Hair: When you think of the term “Diva”, the first thing that will most likely pop into your head is, ironically enough, hair. No matter which generation you’re from, you can identify with the lustrous locks that draw the necessary attention associated with Diva status. Cher and her infamous wigs (does anyone really know what her real hair looks like?); Diana Ross and those carefree curls; Tina Turner and her sophisticated shag; Christina Aguilera , with her blonde bombshell look of whatever she feels like at the time. What do these fine ladies all have in common? A colossal budget specified for doing their doo. If tremendously-long tresses are what you have in mind, and your current hair style is somewhat short, you have two really have only 3 options: First, you could get hair extensions. The downside to this would of course be the immense cost of creation. With an average cost of $500 (without dying it to the color of your choice), the average budget just won’t be able to cover this cost. Second, you could get a wig, but a high-quality headpiece that won’t make you look like a clown (or Hulk Hogan) could cost you more than extensions. Thirdly, you could wait to dress like a Diva until your hair gets longer. If none of these ideas are viable options for you, you’re going to have to work with what you have. Every length of hair qualifies as “Diva-able”, not just long. Think about Madonna and her pre-Kabala days of short hair, with slightly edgy curls “crazy-glued’ to her face. Add a touch of glitter gel or hair mascara (choose a temporary color…just in case you hate it), and BAM! You’ve got a Diva-Doo! Hair jewels are another thought, but you really need to think of it like your accessories—you don’t want to be so “blingy” that you start throwing off the flight patterns of nearby aircraft. For medium length hair, adding some glitter gel, curvaceous curls, and/or fancy clips will bring some glamour to your style. A bit of contrasting, temporary color won’t hurt your cause, either. If you normally part your hair in the middle, part it on the side. If you usually part your hair on the side, why don’t you try parting it in the middle? Your hair, just like the rest of you, gets caught in a pattern of what it does, so by altering it, you’re adding some zest and fervor to a traditionally tame style. No matter the style or length, be sure to carry a purse-size hairspray to keep your style looking fresh all day (or night).
