| Fall
Fashion Guide |
 |
Everyone who is anyone is advising you what to wear this
fall. And while we wouldn't dream of telling you how to dress,
we've gathered up an at-a-glance guide to our favorite fall
looks, more than a few of which are sure to inspire
you.
Look One: Femme Fatale
Here's what you'll need: a high-waist pencil skirt, a
ruffled blouse, red pumps and a zebra print bag. Oh, and
attitude -- lots of it. Opt for a well-made skirt since this
high-waist look will be a staple in your fall wardrobe; it's
ideal paired with everything from silk blouses for work to
sparkling tank tops for night and classic red pumps, of
course. If ruffles seem hard to wear, pick a style that is
super simple such as BCBG's delicate pima cotton ruffle tee
($68 at Nordstrom).

| Artizen's
on-the-go Cordless Iron |
 |
Lip Gloss? Got it. Cell phone? Got it. Cordless Flat Iron?
Get it! No self-respecting style setter wants to be caught
looking unkempt and thanks to Artizen founder Ernie Brauchli
and his new Cordless Detail Iron, we can cross "bad hair days"
off our calendars.
The new cordless iron can be used
anywhere to refresh hair styles. Thanks to a heat proof cover
and pouch, the iron stows away in seconds, while a long life,
built-in rechargeable lithium battery offers 60 minutes of use
time. Plus, Artizen's worldwide charger for the car and home
is included (just like a cell phone). And this baby heats up
fast, reaching 400° in no time while staying safe for use on
damp or dry hair.

| Fall's Accessory Must: Nikki Vain |
 |
Trying to always keep up with trends, and still be unique,
Lorie Mills and Mindy Sabo launched Chicago based company
Nikki Vain Jewelry in early 2008.
This brand-new line
is playful yet edgy, for the woman who is the life of the
party by night, and the brains in the boardroom by day. The
collection serves up couture costume jewelry that calls upon
bold colors and rich fabrics, think leather, ribbon, and suede
accented with gold and silver charms.
