Diamonds are a Mom’s Best Friend.

I say “diamonds!” You say…Kohls?! Although the mass retailer probably isn't the first place you think of for buying bling, they have a fab jewelry department stocked with certified diamond earrings, rings, gemstones, pearls, and top-shelf watches. And all at great prices – and that's before you factor in added discounts and savings passes. We've teamed up to give away a pair of classic diamond studs set in gold (below); the round IGI-certified stones are a 1/2 ct tw, regularly priced at $1750, and arrive packaged in a cute white leatherette gift box.

French Chic from Shabby Apple for Properly Parisienne Summer Style

After years of not being able to find stylish dresses that covered enough skin to make you really feel comfortable (without having to wear a tank top, cardi or long slip), Emily and CK decided to do something about it. They visited trade shows, marketplaces and designer studios only to discover the problem was not that stores weren't buying the right dresses, but that designers weren't designing them. So they launched Shabby Apple , focusing on fabrics and silhouettes that highlight those feminine curves, and draw attention to your waist

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo Cointreau-versally with Dita Von Teese

According to legend, it happened because a dame from Texas was hot…and in need of refreshment.

Live Your Own Sex & the City Life, Complete with Girlfriends & Accessories

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships,” muses Carrie Bradshaw in one episode of Sex & The City. “There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back.” While the fabulous fashions, brunch, great sex and hot men all make the SATC lifestyle irresistible, what really resonated about their world was the close-knit cabal of devoted, loyal girlfriends. “To share our lives with three or four others over coffee can not only save time & energy from having to repeat our story several times to each friend separately, but we also step into a rich conversation where each women can offer her own strength: wisdom, laughter, empathy or advice,” says transition life-coach Shasta Nelson , founder of GirlFriendCircles.com

Secret Sales, Every Fashionista’s Dream {So schön ist Panama}

Can  Every Fashionista’s Dream Come True ? Just a few days before my next life adventure [moving out of Germany to Brazil], its been fascinating to spend some quality time with my mom that is, of course, the non-stop shopping! … there’s nothing stronger than bonding with your Mom while choosing the right pair of jeans, the sexiest strappy sandals or the next summer dress! Apart from been able to communicate in a very secret language, that goes from eye poppers to wide OPEN mouth or even the typical “Mira mami, esta tan barato!!!” [look baby, it's so cheap] shopping time its always a hell of ride! Now the “cool” part of my story. Long ago, even before moving out of Panama, there was a shop call “Modas Saks” [just SAKS for panamanians] and other place called DORIAN’S [same owner], these shops have been very popular between general public, fashionistas and of course tourists! They buy their merchandise in  wholesale packs, clearance, closeouts, etc etc.

Project Runway: “At this point, I think we’re designing a gown for the vice president of McDonald’s. However, everyone needs a dress.”

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

How to Fake a Winter Vacation: Go Fabulously Faux! (They’ll Never Know)

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.
