Win It Beauty Tools

Beauty buffs, get charged up for this week’s Win-It! I’m giving away three high-tech tools to help you put your best face forward! I was bummed to not be able to share more about these during my TODAY segment this week, but inspired to highlight them here…

Bliss’ Pore-fector extractor (which doesn’t even hit stores until April 15), Zeno’s Hot Spot blemish clearing device, and the new Temptu’s Airbrush make-up system. All you have to do to win one is follow me on Twitter and retweet the contest mention. Since we’re starting a little late this week,  winners will be announced on Monday, March 29 at 5PM EST. Happy tweeting. :)

Style Buzz: Unique Spring Trends on TODAY

Had so much fun this morning with Kathie Lee and Hoda talking about my Spring Style Buzz items on TODAY. We ran out of time at the end there, so I wanted to include a link to my article where you can read more about all of the products featured. Feel free to leave any questions or comments below. =)

Please Name My Pup!

If you caught Kathie Lee and Hoda this morning on TODAY, you met my stylish new sidekick! I’ve had lots of questions about my little baby Chihuahua and wanted to  answer a few:  She is long haired and apparently her coat color is considered a rare blue merle. She’s currently 1.4lbs and I have no idea how big she’ll get… but I would love an idea on what I should call her! Please help me name my precious new pup.

My TODAY family is helping me out by collecting suggestions on the allDAY blog, but feel free to tweet me, or leave your name idea in the comments below and I’ll list my favorites here later on!

Beauty Buzz: Botox May Have Deeper Impact

Botox

A new study about Botox is raising eyebrows stating that the popular procedure may have a deeper psychological impact. Since smiling and frowning are natural emotional reactions (yes, smiling actually increases happiness! Who knew?), inhibiting these expressions may have an effect on both the person who receives the Botox and the people they interact with. Just a split second delay in facial response may be enough to disrupt the subtle emotional cues we all communicate with.  Does this information change how you feel about Botox?  Knowing this, would you still go under the needle?

Fashion Buzz: Celebs Go Retro Chic

RosieTheRiveter

From Kelly Rowland’s “alter-ego” photoshoot in January to Halle’s headscarf, celebs have been rolling up their sleeves and working the Americana trend.  And no pun intended, but you can do it too!

I love the ease of utilitarian pieces in stores now, like the Chambray shirt dress from Gap shown above.  If 1940′s housewife is more your style, you can’t go wrong with a red, white and blue color combo like the adorable Jennifer Garner, so invest in these pieces now and look rivetting though the summer too.

Weekly Win-It: Poof! High Volume Hair

HairItems

If you’ve ever been up late at night watching infomercials or browsing blogs (like me :) ) you’ll be excited about this week’s win-it! I’m giving away an InStyler, the much talked about all-in-one hair straightener and waver, plus a Divado volume enhancing hair insert, perfect for achieving the sky high styles seen on spring runways… and yes, unfortunately Jersey Shore’s Snooki (please don’t let that ruin it for you).

All you have to do to win these tools for your tresses is follow me on Twitter and retweet the contest mention. The winner will be announced tomorrow, Friday March 19 at 5:00pm EST. *USA only please.

Fashion Buzz: Spring’s Best Jackets for Your Body Type

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

In case you missed my segment this morning on TODAY, watch it above for some of spring’s hottest jackets that will flatter every figure.

Buzz Trend: Light and Loose Denim

Celebs Lt Denim

For years we’ve all sworn by dark, fitted jeans, but lately Hollywood has been lightening and loosening things up. You can always count on the stars to start a fashion rebellion!

Buzz Trend: Are You Ready to Bare Your Belly?

Midriffs

Hard to believe, but it’s been more than a decade since a 16-year-old Britney first bared her belly… and the trend seems to be making a comeback in Hollywood. What do you think, yay or nay?

Style Buzz: Body Image Undistorted

Real Bodies

As women, it’s difficult to have healthy views of our bodies.  When we aren’t comparing ourselves to too-skinny models, we’re talking about the obesity epidemic. How’s a girl to see herself in an honest light with such conflicting messages?

Well one website I came across is trying to help. Cockeyed.com isn’t
selling anything or being critical–it’s just a simple statement about real
bodies.  Brave souls send in their snapshots along with their height,
weight and an inspirational message.  The site won’t necessarily solve
our problems, but it might help us all see ourselves and our bodies in a more accurate light.

Weekly Win-It: Neutral Nails

Grey Nail Polish Win It

Get your hands on spring’s hottest hues, from grey to beige and
everything in between!  I’ve been collecting my favorite “greige”
colors like Chanel’s Particuliere and YSL’s Tuxedo, and for this
week’s giveaway I wanted to share those shades with you.  You’ll also
get Essie’s Chinchilly, Sephora’s Metro Chic, CND’s Asphalt and of
course all the tools necessary to give yourself a perfectly puttied
mani/pedi.

All you have to do to win the nail set is follow me on Twitter and retweet the contest mention.  The winner will be announced tomorrow (Friday, March 11) at 5:00pm EST.  Sorry, USA only.

Fashion Buzz: The Latest in Leggings

Leggings have come a long way since they reappeared in 2005. Originally in black and worn only with tunic length, leggings are now hugging hips in every hue imaginable and rules about shirt length have been shattered– just about anything goes. For some, leggings are the new pants, but for those not in a hurry to hop into the skin tight trend, I put together some wonderfully wearable options for you…

Easy to Wear Leggings

Unfitted Leggings by Thakoon, Skirted Leggings by Victoria’s Secret,
Jeggings by White House Black Market

And from fun to funky, I’ve also gathered together some of my favorite daring designs…

Not As Easy to Wear Leggings

Printed Leggings by Sauce, Floral Leggings by 6126, Ripped Leggings by David Lerner

Just remember not all leggings are created equal. Like any other garment, you should be creative– try them on in a variety of brands, cuts and colors to see what works best for you.
