Pearls are always perfect

Pearls are always perfect

Filed under: Accessories, Jewelry

There's no question that pearls are a timeless accessory in every girl's jewelry box. The question, however, is whether a girl can wear pearls without looking Queen Elizabeth. In other words, does a strand of pearls scream "matronly?"

According to Teri Agins, fashion reporter for the Wall Street Journal, answers that there are ways to update the classic look of pearls, which went from "First Lady" and matronly to fashionable and ...

JG4B swimwear will turn heads on your winter vacation

Filed under: Swimwear

Even though it is November, after all, for some reason, it feels like summer just ended; maybe it was the weather in southern California that screwed us up. Nevertheless, it's fall, but that doesn't mean swimsuit season is over. With the December and January coming up, we start planning our winter vacations to sunny, tropical paradises! Now since you just can't be seen wearing the same five bikinis you were wearing all summer ...

Hopefully, you grew out of playing with Barbie dolls a long, long long time ago, but if you have it in you to dress yourself up like the imaginary blonde with impossible measurements, you can pick up Patricia Field's Barbie Luxe pieces for Spring 2008.

The designer, who is known for her styling of Sex and the City character ...

Rebecca Minkoff says, “Hellooo, Kitty”

Rebecca Minkoff says, “Hellooo, Kitty”

Filed under: Bags and Purses, Accessories

I'm not going to deny that I have "a thing" for that little white cat with an oversized head and no mouth, but there are times when the associated color palette -- shades of pink that range from bubblegum to bright fuschia -- is a little much for my fairly neutral wardrobe. Rebecca Minkoff has collaborated with the cartoon cat and the resulting leather totes and coin purse are far ...

Kiki de Montparnasse is open in LA

Kiki de Montparnasse is open in LA

Filed under: Stores, Under the outer

Oh, boy.

And by "oh, boy," I mean the boys in LA have got to be loving the fact that Kiki de Montparnasse has opened up a store in the City of Angels. In case you don't know who, or what, Kiki de Montparnasse is, let me give you a little heads up. Kiki de Montparnasse is a line of ultra high-end lingerie that celebrates "sexy." In fact, some of ...

Product Review: Nerida Joy Skincare

Product Review: Nerida Joy Skincare

Filed under: Skin Care, Reviews

Because I'm a die-hard Drugstore Beauty Queen, I very rarely, if ever, use high-end or salon-only skincare products. About the only thing I might splurge on for my face is...nothing! An $8 econo-size bottle of Cetaphil is about a big a splurge as I'll do. However, that doesn't mean I don't dream about a life in which I go see my personal facialist, or better yet, that my personal facialist ...

At home beauty tips from Sonya Dakar: dry skin and puffy eyes

At home beauty tips from Sonya Dakar: dry skin and puffy eyes

Filed under: Skin Care

If you haven't been watching the news lately, then let me fill you in on what's happening in Southern California. Over the weekend, the region erupted with enormous brush fires. Now, don't you worry about your favorite Styledash writers in LA - we live in areas that are pretty much out of harm's way, but that doesn't mean we aren't feeling the effects. Hot air is drying out my skin and the faint layer ...

Stylish Costume of the Day: Marie Antoinette

Stylish Costume of the Day: Marie Antoinette

Filed under: Holidays, Under the outer, Vintage wear, Dresses and Skirts

We all know that movies tend to be sources for Halloween costumes, and after Marie Antoinette, it's no surprise that this year, many a girl is going to parade around the party as the lovely French lady. Though I am normally a big fan of DIY on costumes, Marie Antoinette is one that is much, much easier out of ...

Stylish Costume of the Day: Greek Goddess

Stylish Costume of the Day: Greek Goddess

Filed under: Holidays

You like to think of yourself as a Goddess among mortal women, so why not dress the part on Halloween?

The beauty of dressing up as a Greek Goddess is that the costume is super easy to put together, and can be made sexy without compromising too much of your modesty. At least, not as much as you would, say, with any of those other costumes. Since "Grecian" was also a very trendy look this ...

Speaking of fabulous you, put your DNA on your walls

Speaking of fabulous you, put your DNA on your walls

Filed under: Home style

It must be all about "you" on Styledash. First myDNA's perfume based on your personal DNA, and now, artwork for your home from DNA11 that so perfectly matches your personal style, it's scary.

Okay, so a print of your genetic fingerprint may be a little too "weird science" in your bohemian/craftsman/ultra-modern/potterybarn-styled home, but the idea is pretty cool anyway.

DNA 11 takes a sample of your DNA, then using a technique that takes ...

Turn that celeb photo upside down!

Turn that celeb photo upside down!

Filed under: Coiffure, Celebrity Style

I'm about to go do some damage to my stick-straight, anorexically thin, baby fine, lifelessly limp, painfully long hair this weekend, and just in time, we received a fantastic tip via our "Tips" line from Styledasher Jodi!

When you are going to use a celebrity as an exmaple for a hair color (or even style), turn the photo upside-down so you don't focus on the celebrity's face (which is presumably, all ...

NASCAR high heels might make me slap you

NASCAR high heels might make me slap you

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

I am all for fan showing support for their favorite teams or interests, but I think this might be taking it a little too far. NASCAR has a line of shoes designed especially for them, and I'll be quite honest, when I first heard about it without seeing a photo, I was prepared for the worst. Would they be shaped like cars, feature racing stripes, and have space for sponsor ads?

Luckily, they're ...

Don’t just carry a Kooba, wear it

Don’t just carry a Kooba, wear it

Filed under: Bags and Purses, Outerwear

I'm not going to lie. I am not hugely fond of the handbags by Kooba. Both my sisters have one, and while I love the soft, light leather, for some reason, I find that the design of the bags are not functional for my lifestyle. The bags are relatively shapeless, a little too roomy, and the signature, stitch-reinforced, wide handles always slip of my shoulder. I just don't think ...
