Self-tanner can be a tricky, tricky thing. It's been out on the market for years now, yet it still eludes even the best of us.

For example—in the six years that I have been diligently using it, I have been splotched, striped, and made to look as if I had some sort of odd skin disease eating off my Oompah Loompah skin at my neckline.

Hooray for self-tanner! 

Neutral colors are all the rage this spring and summer.

Here's how two NYC gals flaunt the look—both coincidentally work in fashion.  

How much would you spend for a Tee?

Would your budget be greater if the Tee was designed by a glitzy designer like Valentino?  

The month of May almost always makes me giddy with glee. The snow melts, the sun comes out to play, the grass turns green, and it's time to plant my spring garden!

 

Shopping has long been glamorized on TV and in movies—the most famous example being Sex and the City.

But for some women, shopping can become unmanageable. Even scary.

Avis Cardella discusses her shopping addiction in her newly-released memoir Spent ($17, amazon.com). I recently chatted with the author about her reasons for writing the book.  

We've all been there: trying to find your dream job, but how do you do it when there's a recession?

Tune in for MTV Hired, which premieres tonight at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT.

The docu-series gives an insider look at young people looking for their dream job in a variety of fields—from event coordinating and shoe design to fashion. The task is even more daunting given one of the toughest job markets in history.

Among the companies featured on the show include shoe company Steve Madden, theBalm Cosmetics and SheFinds, a buying guide that helps women shop online.

Viewers will get a firsthand look at the job process experienced by applicants during the interview process—the ups and downs and the anxiety, while they wait to get a call back from a potential employer.

Pictured, on the left, above is Michelle Madhok, CEO and editor in chief of SheFinds.com, who appears on the MTV show.

Tell me, will you watch MTV Hired?

 

We're all about fab new nail polish and doing your own nails.

Here's a great color to try: M.A.C Blue India, one of the company's Liberty of London nail polishes.

That's if, you can find it. It's selling like crazy—showing up on eBay for twice its price.

The blue-gray color looks chic and perfect right now amid all the muted shades dominating the nail landscape. Yet it's not just gray and not just blue—it looks slightly green in certain lights. And unlike some M.A.C colors I've tried, the formula goes on really well.

The limited-edition polish retails for $12 a bottle and Nordstrom appears to still have some in stock. Buy it online here.

Tell me, will you wear blue-gray nail polish? What's your favorite nail color? Leave your comments below.

 

Wrinkles—who wants them?

Your hair may look amazing, your figure in perfect shape but wrinkles tell your age—showing up at the crinkles of your eyes, between your nose, across your forehead, making smile lines and even appearing on your neck.
