A Fashion trend spotted by IAmFashion. We're not really feeling it, but you decide.
Ever since the Balenciaga FW07 show, I've been paying more attention to people's scarves rather than their bags. OK, it's unfortunate I used Beckham as an example here, but these scarves are pretty unisex.
It is getting a bit warm to wear big, thick scarves, but it may be the perfect time to...

One more reason to be careful where you eat from The Gothamist...
The Manhattan DA's office announced that thirteen people were indicted in a identity theft scam. Credit card information from diners in Chinatown and other areas (Brooklyn, Westchester, Long Island, Florida, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Connecticut) would be stolen by wait staff, using handheld credit card skimmers. A list...

Every city has their own collection of oddballs and wierdos and Toronto is no exception. We have several Santa Claus impersonators downtown that beg for change or just make a public spectacle of themselves all year round. I spotted one Santa at Fashion Week wearing a red leather jacket, hamming it up in the media lounge that I'd given money to in the winter when I thought he was homeless. I...

Applying make-up to Asian eyes need not be so complicated. This post from Make-Up Junkie in Canada is a great how-to...
Asian eyes are one of my favourite shapes to apply eye shadows on. Often times, my Asian customers would apologize for having 'difficult' eyes to work with. No need to apologize - Asian eyes are a beautiful shape and with the right techniques you can enhance your eyes...

To thread or not to thread... That is the question Lipstick Powder 'n Pain investigates here. We vote for threading. It doesn't pull on your skin or rip off layers like waxing, rather it focuses on individual hairs, pulling them out by the root. It's also a lot faster than plucking. But here's what she thinks...

The Amateur Gourmet's trip to San Fransisco as judged by her first meal. A funny read...
The plane left from Kennedy Airport. I bought a muffin near my apartment and, upon arriving at the terminal, decided I'd eat whatever snack they gave me on the plane. Little did I know, American Airlines doesn't give you snacks: they charge you for one of four horrible options. The worst of...

Here's one from ChickAdvisor member, SugarShock.
I love this girl. And these pics of Gwen Stefani in Harper's Bazaar are just divine. She's a chameleon like Madonna, but still always truly Gwen.
While I love her trademark 50s-style pin-up girl red lips, here, in pretty pink (try Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Creme Lipstick in Muse to get the look), she looks soft and lovely, just as...

An interesting article from WebMD on eating to avoid cancer.
As many as one-third of all cancer deaths could be prevented through good nutrition, physical activity, and being at a healthy weight, experts say.
Everyone knows there are certain foods that are good for your health, and then there are the other foods - the ones we often have a hard time saying no to.

A review of Revlon's Just Bitten Lip Stain from ChickAdvisor blogger, Daily Dose of Coffee...
Just Bitten, how much do I love you? More than my Urban Decay Lip Envy. More than my MAC lipstain. So that is a great deal, indeed.
First, I am a lover of lipstains. I prefer to put a nice stain on my lips once or twice during the day, and just touch up my gloss. This is because I tend to...

A yummy restaurant review from BlogTO.
Finding Mezzetta Restaurant is like stumbling across a hidden treasure... right there in midtown Toronto. Not only does this St. Clair West hideaway offer up great service and irresistible value, they've got a truly original menu you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere else in town.
Here, the cuisine is a little bit Greek, a lot Middle Eastern...

We always knew servers were seriously underpaid, but in some restaurants in New York, management have been accused of stealing tips from servers, who can make as little as $4.60 per hour. This is from The Gothamist.
1 year ago, waiters at Chinatown restaurant Jing Fong accused management of taking tip money to pay dim sum cart ladies. Now, another restaurant's managers are under fire for...

A little something from The Gothamist in NYC to make all of us renters feel better about ourselves...
The assumption that buying is preferable to renting is so ingrained in our national real estate psyche, that to suggest otherwise could result in someone questioning your financial, if not actual, sanity. The New York Times did some serious nationwide number crunching, however, and is...

IAmFashion's take of the Spring collection at Zara.
First of all I have to say I am a HUGE Zara fan so excuse this somewhat biased and overly-enthusiastic post. OK, so I love Zara -it usually sells clothes that are totally fashionable and right on the mark. But the great thing about Zara that I like above all the other high street stores is that Zara's high end 'inspired'...

It's A Monkey always makes us laugh with her quirky posts and anecdotes. This is a short one, but funny - and fitting for sick season.
Current illness count on my team at work: 7/9. Those two non-ill people? Amoungst them, me. In order to bring up the energy in the room, I have fallen back into the role of manically energetic fool. Today, when I came to the conclusion that it's more...
