I have been observing the evolution of Haider Ackermann for several seasons, as he is one of my favorite new designers when it comes to womens' clothing. In my humble opinion, his last two seasons in Paris outclassed all of the other Designers' Women Collections by a long shot.

It’s Friday evening and the start of Oscar weekend. As I look out of my window, from high up in the Hollywood hills, I can barely see through the heavy mist and fog. My hairdresser and manicurist are both running late due to the treacherous rain and gridlock traffic.


The dress I had planned on wearing is not suitable for this type of weather and without sounding te

Four, Three, Two, One Button Suit Jacket

Over the years we’ve seen many variations in buttons on suit jackets and sport coats. As of late, the most popular has been the 3 button version. Several years prior, we even saw 4 buttons in the marketplace. In retrospect, that look was probably best reserved for 6′ 8″ basketball players. For the rest of us mere mortals, the only thing missing from our 4 button sign-board look alike suit jackets was the message “Eat at Joe’s” printed on the front and the back. By now you’ve noticed the shift ba

Your Hairstylist Won’t Tell You (secret #5)

If your hairdresser is promising the world …Chances are they are not being totally honest. It’s nearly impossible to exactly duplicate that photo of Jennifer Aniston you brought in (since everyone has different face shapes and hair textures), so if they’re assuring you you’ll be identical twins when the cut or color is done, be wary.

On the other hand, a good stylist will be honest about what they can realistically do and will work with you to find something that will be right for your face shape

13 Things Your Hairstylist Won't Tell You

1. I'm a beautician, not a magician. I can give you Gisele Bündchen's haircut, but I can't give you her face.

2. Come at least five minutes early. If you're running late, please call ahead. Show me some basic respect. This is a business, not fun and games.

PLUS: What's your Life IQ? Play for a chance to win an iPod Touch worth $200 and download the Life IQ iPhone app

3. Don't ask me to "squeeze" you in when I'm already booked. I'd be taking time and effort away from other clients. You wouldn't like

Hair Extensions Look So Real, How Do They Work?

Celebrities such as Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton have popularized hair extensions in the past, with Jessica going so far as to go into the extension business with her best friend and hairstylist Ken Paves (see their Website here).While synthetic hair is about a fourth the cost of human hair, most celebs use human hair extensions, such as Great Lengths (Hilton and Nicole Richie's company of choice) to get the long hair nature hasn't blessed them with. Each strand is "pre-tipped" with a synthe
