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.

Whether you’re looking for something rocker chic, vintage, boho or classic, there are adorable hair pieces out there at super cheap prices.

And he's now ready to revolutionize your Hair…the way you wash it, style it, even how it smells

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.

Its similar to the excitement and mad rush we feel when we have our first crush or a big gooey chocolaty brownie or when our bf/spouse surprizes us or when we get ourself a haircut or when SRK woos his girl and sweeps her off her feel awwwww- you know the feeling ?

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?

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.

(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
