For all us babes “who got back”, we're “crazy in love” with the way bootylicious Beyonce has changed the shape of fashion. She's conquered the catwalk as well as the worlds of pop & design, wowed 'em on Broadway, and damn, even snagged Jay-Z (or is it vice versa?) Beginning today, New Yorkers can catch a break from the record cold with a steamy spectacle involving smoke, pyrotechnics, and stars galore – that will make it feel less like freezing in the streets of NYC's Union Square and more like dancing “in da club” A fragrance for “naughty girls,” Beyonce HEAT features the floral, fruity, woody scents of rare, sensual flowers

This season of Project Runway feels kind of like the show used to feel before it left Bravo, doesn’t it? It’s a nice feeling – warm, familiar, safe, fabulous. We’ve had three consecutive episodes with both Princess Michael Kors AND Nina Garcia in simultaneous attendance, our designers actually have sewing skills and personalities, and Tim Gunn doesn’t look utterly terrified anymore because the producers have returned him to his natural habitat of New York City

Well, it’s been a while since I have updated this thing…not that I haven’t wanted to, I just have not had the net time nor the energy. In fact, I am typing this using the notepad on my laptop, so that I CAN try to make entries. I have needed some “energy recharging” time, and I am staying at the flat where Prabal and I sleep, which has no net.Power, yes. Running water, toilet, yes. Capability of net, yes, just not yet . Today Prabal and I went out and tried to get my Visa extended but there were quite a few things to do before hand – like PAYING for the extension. Everything here is done through banks. You want a Visa of any sort, you have to deposit money into the required bank of the Embassies choice. That means traveling about an hour from where we are – which is in Kolkata – to another part of Kolkata – via metro/bus/auto/rickshaw/foot and you are finally there. Not necessarily in that order, but all of the above is used. We arrived at the bank to pay the required fees, talked to the security guard upon entering…they stopped taking cash deposits at 2:30pm. It was a little before 4pm when we arrived

According to recent studies, one-third of working Americans will not use all of their allotted vacation time this year, and the rest seem unable to decompress, taking working “breaks” that involve bringing blackberries, email, and piles of work along. The economy is rough, and many of us are holding onto our jobs for dear life, but vacations are a physical and emotional necessity, not a luxury, helping you to sleep better, feel more energized, and look 100% better..and besides, no one really cares about seeing the same ole' photos of palm trees and ubiquitous tropical sunsets. If you hear yourself wishing for “Belize, please!”, and find that – but for the price! – cruises and island getaways entice, why not consider a few days of R&R Chez Toi, taking some time to discover what's fun (and affordable) to do right in your own backyard.
Whoever this week’s mystery celebrity is has clearly gone for a ’second skin’ look with her wardrobe, accessories and shoes here. Perhaps she’s not too comfortable in her own? Those fingers certainly look like they could do with warming up and a bit of TLC…

The ongoing love affair between a single note and a perfumer continues with the seventh fragrance in the coveted L’Art et la Matière line: Thierry Wasser's Tonka Impériale. A woody oriental, it is composed around the tonka bean. Said to originate in the Northern area of South America, including the forests of Venezuela, the tonka bean – with its almond, cinnamon, clove & creamy sweetness – is historically one of Guerlain's star ingredients, and particularly dear to the House.

Though grossly under-rated, hair accessories might be one of the best ways to spice up an outfit and add a special flair. Cheaper than a hot pair of shoes and more practical than a bunch of bangles, headbands and hairpins do double duty: they accessorize and pull that hair out of your face. Whether you’re looking for something rocker chic, vintage, boho or classic, there are adorable hair pieces out there at super cheap prices.

The Broadway play Hair changed formulaic musicals on stage. Meanwhile, backstage – on the catwalk, at photoshoots, and on the Red Carpet – international celeb stylist Ric Pipino has spent most of his career cutting hair, creating the award-winning locks of Eva Longoria, Jodie Foster, Lindsay Lohan, Fergie, Kelis, Kate Beckinsale, and most recently at the Golden Globes, Jaime Pressly.

The world of knot tying is endless. Boy Scouts, mariners, and rock climbers will find a rich resource in WonderHowTo’s approximately 700+ knot tying tutorials. For the rest of us, however, it is likely that the only knot we tie with frequency is the daily task of tying one’s shoes.

Madison Avenue is the street of every window-shopper's dreams. From the iconic windows of Barneys NY (whose creative director Simon Doonan decorated the White House this past Christmas) to the chic elegant dressings of the finest shoppes – Valentino, Donna Karan, Anne Fontaine, Dolce & Gabbana, to name a few – and beautiful mannequins, adorned from head to toe in the ultimate of pricey chic beckon. And like modern-day Holly Golightly's, we sip our Starbucks lattes and press our noses to the glass.

When we last talked to Myrdith Leon-McCormack , it was about her new M2M damore Jon line of natural nail polishes . More recently, however, she had no desire to talk about herself or promote her products; her thoughts were on the tragic earthquake in her homeland, Haiti, and the Carma Foundation which she co-founded with the singer Melky Jean (sister of Wyclef Jean)

There is a Fountain of Youth & Beauty: it involves some discipline and getting off your butt, but with a handful of affordable products, some equipment, and unshakable commitment, you can look like an A-lister…sans pricey Hollywood trainer or chef on-call, a hair/makeup/skincare team on the permanent payroll, or even a gym membership. There are five things you'll need to do daily. For them to work, they'll need to become part of your lifestyle, something you do automatically

How to Achieve the Best You Ever. Expensive, No. Doable, Yes!
The year in fragrance for 2009: it was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Too many releases, many of them in the category formerly known as “niche” which disappointed – especially from companies that sell fine jewelry as their main product – and were, for the most part, indistinguishable from commercial offerings, and twice the price! Too many ‘trendy’ fragrances using oud, not to mention the never-ending cotton candy sweet fruity florals, forgettable green florals, and fade-away aquatics. And of course the “flanker machine” of the large perfume companies continued churning out forgettable and often horrendous “aromas”, spinoffs of very good originals

If you're headed to a resort or somewhere warm, you need something cute for the beach or when lounging langorously by the poolside, umbrella'd cocktail in hand (oh, cabana boy!). And what better excuse to channel the innocent exuberance of those charming Beach Party movies from the 1960s?

Starting March 26th, 2010, the magnificent State Apartments at Kensington Palace will be temporarily transformed into The Enchanted Palace , a unique multisensory exhibition combining performance, spectacle, and fashion! Behind this innovative event is the Cornwall-based international theater company Wildworks ; they produce “unique landscape” theatre, working with offbeat partners like surfers, migrants, gospel choirs, hip hop types, and cake-makers in spaces including old quarries, derelict mines, fishing quays, a Napoleonic citadel, and royal palaces.

Performing on Dick Clark’s Rockin New Year’s Eve 2010, Fergie added oomph to her sparkly mini with hand-crafted black leather gloves by Perrin Paris 1983 . The french-owned house has a more than 100 year history as a maker and purveyor of fancy ladies gloves since it was founded in 1893 by Victor Rigaudy. The enterprising 22 year old from Saint Junien – where leather gloves were traditionally manufactured in La Haute Vienne – married Berthe, herself from a family of Master Glovers

For the past decade, hundreds of studies have shown that “Get Fit” has consistently been a Top 10 New Year's resolution – generally in the Top 3, and #1 last year. Clearly, it's a resolution most of us break. To ditch the resolution-breaking treadmill in favor of the real thing, we turned to get-buff guru Daniel Lucas , owner of NIMBLE FITNESS , whose clients include Chris Noth (Big is looking less BIG), and Starbucks co-founder Dave Olsen.

There are two types of people: Bath lovers and Shower lovers. Whether you prefer to spend 30 minutes luxuriating in a hot soak or 10 minutes to just get clean, there are products for both that pamper body and spirit. (Note for you bath peeps: all of our soap or suds faves also work for YOU!) FOR THE BATH: Jo Malone Nutmeg & Ginger Bath Oil When British facialist Jo Malone wanted to thank clients for their patronage, she created and gifted them with Nutmeg and Ginger body oil, and thus a fragrance company was born.

Eating right, visiting the gym religiously, triumphing over the mid-afternoon sugar (or Venti fat+sugar+caffeine) attack, quitting smoking, saving money…wouldn't it be nice to make 2010 the year when your resolutions actually stick? “The fact that people make New Year's Resolutions in the first place—whether they're about fitness or kicking addictions or getting out of debt—shows that many, many of us are dissatisfied with our lives,” notes Patt Lind-Kyle , author of Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain: Applying the Exciting New Science of Brain Synchrony for Creativity, Peace and Presence (Energy Psychology Press, 2009) and whose voice appears on the book's companion CDs
