Lady
In Red

One click to Julie
Hewett's site and you'll be seeing red. The kind of red she's
artistically placed on the faces of Nicole Kidman, Hilary Swank and Annette
Bening. The looks from movies like Oceans 11, Spiderman 2 and Pearl
Harbor that have shone beyond the silver screen are all thanks to Julie.
Her philosophy in creating her own cosmetics line is that, despite an overcrowded
cosmetics market, true classic shades were still missing. We couldn't
agree more. Editors are raving about the non-drying effects of her
petroleum-free Cheekies lip and cheek tints ($20). We fancy her new
signature fragrance, carefully composed of essential oils imported from
India all bottled up in a fantastic package that sort of resembles a pepper
mill (but far more beautiful). And we're really mad about her limited
edition hatbox set that lets you pick your favorite shimmy, cheekie and
lipstick for $55 and arrives at your door in a chic, vintage style hatbox.
Missing the kind of red lipsticks that made the Marilyn's of this world
pop before our eyes? They're a cinch to find at JulieHewett.net. |

What do Demi Moore, Christina Applegate,
and Brooke Burke have in common? They're all scooping up Glamajama's
line of playfully studded clothing for women, babies, tweens and dogs.
The line is setting trends and quickly finding its way into celebrity closets.
Created in early '03 by then first-time mom, Heather Nolte, her styles
are creating quite the buzz. Each of her personality driven designs
is set on super soft, comfy fabric. Who can't help but notice a baby
strolling around in a tee that says Drooler or Outlaw? A "Knockout
Tot" walking into their first karate class? Or a dog roaming the
hood in a Rodeo Queen Tee? Demi's daughters have the "sugar", "babygirl",
and "LOVE" tees. And Paris Hilton's dogs are all glammed to go too. |

A
Change Will Do You Good
The
Weekend Edition
Any mom will tell you that trying to
change baby's diaper on one of those rectangular changing pads provided
in most diaper bags these days requires a skill we're simply not born with.
How many times does baby roll off the mat and hit a cold floor (or worse
yet, a host's couch) before you can stick the velcro tabs on to fasten
the diaper? Babies were meant to move. Why someone hadn't thought
of this ingenious idea before is beyond us. Thankfully, Patemm
Pads are here to save you! Available in lots of fun fabrics and
colors, these tieless wonders let you lay down your little one any which
way you can. Moms who've used them can't rave enough about
how portable and convenient they are. $20 for a small version with
no pockets (24 inches) to $38 for a large size with pockets. And
now there's a Pitaka ($7), which in the Philippines means little purse
or pouch. It serves to hold wipes (in a small resealable plastic
bag), small ointments, and whatever else you can think of to make changing
a more soothing experience for you and your tot. |

If there were just one "It Kit" you
needed to pick up this year to freshen up and master your look - this is
the one! Scott
Barnes Bento Beauty Kit contains everything (and we do mean everything)
you need for a completely glamorous look. 4 Illumineye shadows,
2 Hydrating masks with which to prep your skin, 1 super luscious mascara,
a pressed powder, pressed bronzer, 2 lip slicks, 2 blushes and 6 tools
that put it all on with perfection. Pricey? At $165, sure it
is. But we're women, we can easily justify it. With all the
products inside you'd easily drop $200 at Neiman's beauty counter on just
5 of them. And if he can easily drop a few hundred on a new power
tool - why shouldn't your tools be just as worthy? If it's good enough
for stars including Lucy Liu, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson...it's good
enough for you too. Available only at ScottBarnes.com. |

Sweep
Thursday,

Kids crave organization. That
doesn't necessarily mean they'll hop, skip and jump at the chance to clean
up their rooms. But when you find them some first-rate furnishings
they think is 'cool enough', it definitely makes a parents ability to get
their children to tidy up on their own far less of a headache. The
clean styles you'll find throughout Modern
Seed is just what the pick-up-your-room doctor ordered. You'll
find shelving from Blue Dot, Mini Pooky Rugs by Angela Adams, Coosh Egg
Chairs, Tiki Stools, Dwell Baby bedding, and lots of Ugly Dolls that'll
place fun splashes of color throughout their rooms. And to make your
visit even more memorable, Modern Seed's
offering 10-30% off furniture, rugs, bedding and more throughout the month
of January. Just in time for them to straighten their rooms out during
February vacation. |
