The tickets were nearly impossible to come by and with promises of celebrity appearances and a chance to get up close to the man of the hour, Barack Obama, they were scarce for good reason.

The Jan. 20 Youth Inaugural Ball in Washington, DC was the first of its kind and thrown by the Presidential Inauguration [...]

One of the things I dislike most about this time of year is how the cold weather often leads to chapped lips and dry dull skin.
The best way to prevent both of these is to drink lots and lots of water. I can’t stress enough how important this is. I just spoke with a doctor [...]

Heart-Shaped Goodies

I browsed a lot of designer’s Resort 2009 collections while in NYC over the holidays and I have to say the one common denominator I spotted was the skinny belt.

Jan 20th has always been a fancy day in history, but today’s inauguration of Barack Obama is undoubtedly one for the ages.
In support of the historic event, a few high end designers have created official inaugural merchandise. Among the participating designers are: Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Zac Posen, and Juicy Couture.
“This is the [...]

All this talk of balls and gowns has sparked my inner child’s love of fairytales. It’s a feeling Disney (who else?) has been cleverly capitalizing on lately. In an effort to attract a more sophisticated adult market, Disney has reached out and partnered up with some very cutting edge designers who are adding a fresh [...]

The site also allows you to get a sense of what others will be wearing.

That’s right, two tickets to Obama’s Inaugural “Youth Ball” recently arrived in our own Posh Hippie’s mailbox. How exciting!
The entire event will be broadcast live on MTV Tuesday night for those of you who wanna watch.  They haven’t announced who will be performing yet, but I have no doubt attendees are in for a [...]

ADD, Wii tennis elbow, blackberry thumb, all sooooo 2008. Yep, a new year means a whole new list of ailments. Lol.

Don’t Put a Sock in It!

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that Mary Janes have come back in a big way. Instead of writing about all the adorable pairs I’ve seen over the last month, I’m going to tell you about the pair I bought and love.

Holiday Wrappings

What to wear this holiday season…

Los Angeles: I’m so happy to see over-the-knee boot becoming trendy. I’ve always liked ‘em; it’s like Pretty Woman meets Park Avenue, sexy, stylish, and slick.
Until recently though, I could never find a pair under $500 that I really liked.
Then I spotted these from Chinese Laundry…

They’re called the “Strate,” and they sell for under [...]

LOS ANGELES: Often referred to as “Ballet on steroids,” Cardio Barre is the latest and greatest on the fitness scene. It’s basically the same set of warm-ups you did in ballet class, but at a much faster pace.
The classes are generally an hour long and consist of: 30 mins cardio, 10 mins arms, and 15 [...]

I love the way a good manicure and perfectly polished nails can complete an outfit, especially in the fall and winter when the colors tend to be richer and darker.
So, I was really bummed when I recently learned that MOST nail polishes contain extremely toxic chemicals. Yep, you heard me. Here are the 3 [...]

I’ve never been a huge fan of Dooney & Bourke; their handbags always seemed too “old-ladyish.”
And when they introduced their new line of pastel-colored handbags five or so years ago, all I could think was indentity crisis? The whole thing smelled desperado.
DB’s new line debuted shortly after Louis Vitton introduced its new multicolor monogram. [...]

Pairing tights with open-toed shoes used to be a fashion no-no, but the look has since evolved into a fashion statement both on and off the runway.

While there are benefits to this trend, like getting to wear your favorite open toe shoes year round, and not having to worry about a chipping pedicure, there [...]

FLORENCE, ITALY: I learned of the Prada Outlet from a family friend who had gone two summers ago. She warned me that getting to the outlet was no easy task, but I saw this as a minor detail to the amazing news I had just heard – a Prada Outlet exists!
I immediately told [...]
