Now that the NBA season is complete, we can move onto bigger and better things. Like travel shopping.
Nora Ephron is gone -- and I can't believe it. Professionally, her legacy will be that of an exceptionally gifted and versatile artist who could do it all, and do it all incredibly well. Personally, she'll be cherished as a wife and mother, and a devoted, giving, treasured -- and irreplaceable -- friend. Indeed, she was as talented at friendship as she was at everything else she tried.
Nora celebrated life to an insatiable degree, yet without any of the manic energy one associates with people who have "insatiable appetites" for life. She had a calm and elegant way of savoring every moment.
After a one-year hiatus, bag designer Rafe Totengco is reclaiming his rightful position in the fashion world. He has his own bag label, Rafe, whose fans include stylish women like Amanda Hearst, Eva Longoria and Zani Gugelmann.
To be honest, I suspect my hands would still shake if I did it again today. I still might think: Who am I to be writing to her? I'm still not brave in the way I imagine her to be, but these days I usually put the letter in the mailbox in the end. And Nora Ephron gets some credit for that.
These days it's difficult to be creative. Once again the arts community is having to justify the need for public spending and quantify their social worth.
There's no doubt that you're going to look stunningly gorgeous on your wedding day, but be prepared for disasters. You're going to need a bridal emergency bag to get you through the day.
For Nora Ephron, life was something to celebrate. And explore. And bitch about. And then celebrate again. You didn't have to read all of her brilliant essays to immediately see that the woman had a titanium-strength point of view -- and she was achingly funny about it.
Okay, so I'm a royalist. I admit it. Simply put, I love tradition, and nowhere else in the world can you find such pageantry and history and tradition as in London.
Nora Ephron was never really a celebrity to me so much as she was a dream weaver. I grew up watching her films in my living room. They fed my youthful appetites for romance and humor. Most of all, these films shaped my dreams of love.
Here are five literary giants whose hearts were impaled by Cupid's arrow in the most brutal way. Rather than wallow in self-pity, these tortured scribes picked themselves up and stabbed Cupid right back -- with their pens.
If society is a mirrored reflection of people strolling down life on the Project Runway, then we might have just walked the plank right off the edge.
Your crew of cronies is waiting to shake a tail feather and they need your moves -- the way you shake it is second-to-none. Now. What you wear is up to you (little black dress? satin short-shorts?), but what you tout in your clutch should be essentials only.
Love The Situation or hate him, he has a right to his intellectual property -- and before you laugh at the word "intellectual" being associated with The Situation, remember that a lot of what you see in reality TV isn't exactly reality -- to use it as he sees fit and to defend it if necessary.
Get your hands dirty and plant, trim, fertilize and reacquaint yourself with Mother Nature. Feng Shui teaches us that sheng chi or good energy can easily flow in places that are pleasing to look at, clean and maintained with care.
The midfoot arch is particularly susceptible to injury when wearing high heels. The foot is not designed to function in this position, so when one trips or falls in high heels there can be excessive force placed on the midfoot, causing it to break or dislocate.
Possibly thanks to the Olympic Games, or the recently ended Wimbledon and Roland Garros competitions, sports are dominating the runways in Milan.
New analysis from George Washington University is raising concerns that the chemical in spray tan formulations, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), is a potential carcinogen because it damages DNA and causes mutations.
Let me wipe away all those thank you gift insecurities so that you can enjoy your weekend without thinking that you are a cheap, freeloading guest, which I think your friends already know, considering the invite.
