If you believe (as we do) that every girl needs a little black dress, it’s a given that every girl needs a sexy red party dress as well. Guess what? Decades has plenty of both! The first, a jersey number by Pat Richards, channels the sun-kissed energy of flamenco dancers with a voluminous jersey skirt and cascading ruffles; the second, a chiffon illusion gown by Jean Louis Scherrer, cuts a death-defying plunge across the bust, held together by a sheer panel that disappears against the skin.

Matching earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets will look far too overdone. Choose only two of the wedding / prom accessories. If you are wearing a heavily detailed dress then only choose one piece and make sure that it is a plain piece.
Choose a necklace according to your wedding / prom dress
V-neck or sweat-heart dress – a strand of beads or pearls is best for these necklines.
The necklace should fall about half-way between the base of the neck and the point of the V or heart.
Strapless dress – a strapless dress looks lovely with a choker. If wearing a long necklace, make sure that it is short and does not meet the dress fabric.
Oval face – avoid tiaras with a peak at the top as this will make your face look even longer. A lower tiara, headband or back piece will be most flattering.
High necked or intricately beaded dress – a necklace of any sort would only compete with this type of dress, so do not wear one. Instead choose a matching bracelet and earrings.
Choose earrings according to your hairstyle
Upswept hair or a long neck – wear simple elegant drop earrings that will move and twist and catch the light. A long slender neck also suits chandelier earrings.
Hair down or a short neck – small pearl or diamond earrings will be more flattering than drop earrings.

Knee-length boots are part of the wave of new trend that will take over the fashion scene this coming fall. A lot of designers included these boots in their collection, and though some of them look alike… It’s still a nice addition to your shoe collection. That is, if you still don’t own one. If you do, next season’s the time to bring them out!

Reviewer: S.K.Y.
Brand: St. Ives
Name: Mineral Clay Firming Masque
Size: 170 ml
Approx. Price: $6.49
I used to use this product when I was a lot younger and thought I’d re-visit it to see how my skin reacts to it now.
St. Ives says their product “contains a firming clay that lifts away dead skin cells leaving skin feeling firm without drying. Herbal extracts deep clean while stimulating collagen production so skin looks replenished and younger, not dry and dull”.
To Purr About:
- leaves my skin feeling refreshed
- leaves my skin feeling super tight
Claws Out:
- feels like it’s drying out my skin
- it is very irritating on dry cracked skin
Final Comments:
I used this mask daily for a couple of months and then scaled it back to once a week when my skin started becoming more and more dried out from the harsh winter weather. With my skin becoming more and more dry, I think I’ll stop usage of this product completely. It might be good for people with normal to oily skin, but I find it very abrasive on my already dry skin.
Rating (out of 5):

Elizabeth Arden’s INTERVENE Makeup SPF 15 ($36) is a seriously incredible liquid foundation that contains Biodormin technology. Who even knows what Biodormin technology is, but I do know that this micro-mineral pigment technology smooths away imperfections for brighter, even toned skin that delivers all day coverage. Studies show that this extract has the ability to slow the visible effects of sun, stress and environmental factors and delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
When they say this stuff lasts all day, they aren’t lying. I suggest using a foundation brush to apply, so you don’t get too much on. A little bit goes a long way! If you’re new to foundation, this is the perfect place to start. Soft Beige was the one that matched my skin perfectly, but with 12 wearable shades, you’re bound to find one that suits you.
