Last week Chick Advisor got the inside scoop from Linda Gaylard, celebrity stylist and fashion expert, on easy-to-follow guidelines to help you achieve that glamorous red carpet style. (And with clients as gorgeous as Elisha Cuthbert and Kristen Booth, there’s no doubt you’ll want to take notes.)

The only way to really salvage scorched skin is IPL photo...

Kena Paranjape sits at her window with her laptop and pours the inspiration of her day into her Toronto-based blog In Life And In Fashion.  Writing has been a life-long passion once set aside and now revived through seeing the beauty in everyday things – a great cup of coffee, finding the perfect lipstick, and a good chat with a friend.  Fashion, for Kena, is just one of many muses.
