Who Was Your Favorite Oscar?

Comment and let me know your favorite star and her look. I spent the perfect evening at an Oscar Party. The table was decorated beautifully, white tablecloth, red runner and gold sparkles sprinkled about. The food was yummy--homemade fried mozzarella balls, roasted cashews, delicious smoked salmon bisque, cauliflower penne and fresh bread. This was topped off with an elegant drink combination of pomegranate juice and champagne.

Check out the styles and leave a comment here

Thursday Freebees

The Butterfly Clues, by Kate Ellison, is a gritty contemporary novel with a big mystery and more than a little romance. Book Chic calls it “one hell of a debut!” and we were drawn in by the author herself.

In addition to penning her first Young Adult novel, Kate Ellison (née Kate Weinberg) is also an artist and jewelry-maker. We love a Renaissance woman. So one lucky I Heart Daily reader will win a copy of Kate’s book, plus a pair of her handmade pretty leaf earrings in your choice of colors.

Joanne Lumley Savvy over sixty




Do you agree? Would you use collagen?
The actress admitted to having regular collagen injections in her forehead and mouth to stop her looking "old and tired".
"I've had collagen to fill out a scar on my chin," she said. "I've also used it on deep lines across my forehead.
"It can stop you looking very worried or very tired, and I don't need that.
"Hard lines by the mouth too - you don't need them. Never on the lips though. I can't think of anything worse."
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein which degenerates with age and over-exposure to the sun, and can be replenished by injection.
As such it is often regarded as one of the gentler, more natural cosmetic procedures.
However its longevity is variable and in some cases individuals may need a top up every four to six weeks.

Celebrity Wednesday with "Twiggy" Lawson



Remember Twiggy, who doesn't, that super skinny model that made the headlines when we were young. And doesn't she look great!!

A bit of updating .. .

Although Twiggy officially retired from modeling in 1970 when she was cast in 'The Boy Friend' she has been involved in various modeling assignments, highlights include posing with David Bowie to create the classic shot that became the cover of his Pin Ups album. Since 2005, Twiggy has acted as the face of Marks And Spencer in their successful advertising campaigns.

THE 60s model still rules supreme. She says: "A trip to the hairdresser can be so transforming, not only for your mood but for its ability to add elegance.

For years there's been an unwritten rule that you shouldn't have long hair when you get past a certain age. Poppycock!"

Age: 62
Sixties supermodel Twiggy is a fan of YSL's Touche Eclat. "I stock up at the airport - it's one of my make-up staples, and in photographs it's great because it reflects the light. When we're younger, dark circles can look cute and mysterious, but you can't get away with it post-40." Once you've covered the dark circles, try a slick of eyeliner to enhance the eye area. "To make eyes look big and bright, swap your black kohl liner flick for soft pink or beige," suggests international make-up artist Alexsandra Byrne.
