THE DIVA DOES LEOPARD

There is a rule to wearing leopard. There are only certain people that can pull it off. Many of The Divas BFFs can pull it off - Nicole Richie, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton. And, obviously, The Diva. (but of course you knew that) But here's the trick: only do one piece at a time. If its a skirt, fab. Shoes? Oh yes. Shirt? Sure, but make sure it's not too over the top. We certainly do not want you to look like Peg Bundy from Married with Children, do we? Did we have to combine trashy taste with leopard on that horrid show? Shame on Peg! The Diva has found some fabulous products at Macys.com to help you get used to the trend. Remember, my Divas-in-Training, one piece at a time.

INC International Concepts Leopard Print Coat - $169.00

Steven "Lalo" Peep-Toe Pump- $110.00

The Diva is quite frustrated this morning. She woke up from her beauty slumber to find out that all of a sudden it is winter! What happened to our carefree days of sandal-wearing, beach-romping, and margarita drinking? It is too damn cold this morning so The Diva thought she would do a post about stylish winter boots. So, as she is typing from her laptop while under her covers, she will tell you about these fabulous finds from Shop.com. They are sure to keep your tootsies warm while still being so Diva-ishly Debonair. Its time to pull out the Kalua for a warm Irish Coffee, Yum. Brrrr. The Diva hates cold weather.

KORS, Michael Kors - $249.99

You will be the center the universe with these stylish boots from KORS by Michael Kors. The round tow and wedge heel are most definately the look this season.

And with a 4-inch heel you can tower over people like The Diva.

Vivre - $250.00

Love this one with a faux shearling lining. And The Diva also adores the chocolate color. Simply imagine: skinny jeans tucked into these puppies with a fabulous swear.

Can we say Beautiful Ski Bunny??

SM NEW YORK - $61.99

Loving the detail on these. And at $61.99? Hell of a deal.

And still tower-able with a 3 inch heel.

The Diva is convinced that her and Bobbi Brown (NOT to be confused with Whitney's ex, oh no) are Sistahs From Anotha Montha. How else would you begin to explain how all of her products look so effing fabulous on The Diva? Now, granted, most everything does look fabulous on The Diva. But she simply adores all things by Bobbi Brown. She believes that when Ms. Brown started creating her fantastic line of cosmetics, she must have had The Divas gorgeous face and skin envisioned in her mind. None the less, here are some of The Divas faves all available from Gloss.com:

Creamy Concealer Kit - $32.00

Not that The Diva needs concealer of course, her skin is flawless

Limited Edition Shadow Basics - $45.00

Remember, this season, it's all about the smoky eyes. And The Diva loves pallets. She simply does not have time to be bothered with individual sets.

Long Wear Gel Eyeliner - $18.00

Probably the best product she makes. Take it from me. When you go to as many parties and soirees as The Diva, this stuff stays put for hours.

Best-Sellers Lip Palette - $40.00

This one just won the October 2006 Allure Magazines Best of Beauty Awards.

Snatch this one up before they are sold out.

PINK IS CHIC!

Who says pink is boring? Certainly not This Diva. Sure, you may decide to wear some Haynes-Her-Way T-shirt with a big pink ribbon on it for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but The Diva would rather get a Oligve Home Perm (eeeeekkkk!) than dress herself in Haynes-Her-Way. That is why she just simply adores RedEnvelope.com. You can not only be supportive of such a wonderful cause, but also adorn your Dressing Room just like Paris Hilton - all in pink. Now, Paris Hilton is such a dear friend of The Diva, and they do agree on many things. And one is this: That Pink, my darlings, is oh so CHIC.

Think Pink Monogrammed Soaps $30.00
Oooo! The Diva LOVES monogramming!

Think Pink Truffles $25.00

The Diva will assume you know a womans relationship with chocolate

Think Pink Silk Pajamas $115.00
(Good Lord, you can get these monogrammed too? And with chocolate piping? I need to sit down and....breathe....slowly....)

Think Pink Mini Croc Cocktail Shaker $25.00

The Diva cannot begin to explain her giddiness over this one. She feels like Karen in Will and Grace as she can tote this one around in her purse. Martini-on-the-Go if you will, and stylishly at that. Can this possibly be any cuter??

FASHION FLAIR CARDS

$18.50

For her second installment of Breast Cancer Awareness products, The Diva loves Fashion Flair Cards. She nearly flipped over these fabulous chic pink ribbon notecards. And you can get them personalized all for $18.50? (Can someone please get her a xanax - I think she is getting a little over excited)

Now she is just wondering how she should personalize??

1. The Diva

2. The "Fabulous" Diva or

3. Most Beautiful Woman in the World

Hmmmm. I think she is going to go with choice number 3.

DRESSING ROOM TUNES

This is what is playing this week's in The Divas Dressing Room. The soundtrack from Season 1 of Studio 60 on The Sunset Strip. It has fabulous music from David Bowie, Tupac Shakur and many other fabulous West Coast artists. She lives to jam out to it.

ATTENTION DIVAS

I can relate with losing your Ralph Lauren make-up case. I have rushed to Rite-Aid, Walgreens, CVS, or Kmart to buy an emergency set. (dont worry we have ALL been there). However, just because it is cheaper than your normal facial indulgences DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO CAKE IT ON TO GET THE SAME EFFECT. Ladies please! Do not let this happen to you:

ARDEN B FALL COLLECTION

Good Lord The Diva LOVES Arden B. They have the most fabulous, styles and trends. I f you are one of the unlucky ones that does not have an Arden B in your area, then The Diva advises that you should move immediately or go visit one of your beach houses for the weekend and go shopping. What? No beach house? What a shame. Well, then I suppose your only choice is to do your shopping online at ArdenB.com for their ultra fabulous Fall 2006 Collection. Have never heard of Arden B? Then The Diva thinks you are reading the wrong blog, and might suggest going and checking out whats new at the WalMart boutique for $9.99 and below.

The Diva will tell you in order to actually be a DIVA, you must live in the words of Corey Hart, I Wear my Sunglasses at Night. Yes, thats right my little darlings. Sunglasses are a MUST if you want to look fabulous. And not just any sunglasses. Do not just buy off the rack at Target. Do some research. There is a lot to be said for the perfect sunglasses. They must be stylish, they must be sophisticated, they must be name-brand, and they must make you look stuck up and rich. (A Diva can be honest, no?) So, she begs of you to go straight to Overstock.com for the perfect frames. They had tons of big fabulous names. (and at these prices, you might say they compare China Town in NYC!)

Pssst. You are welcome to use my personal discount off these. Just click on the banner at the bottom. I seriously want you to have them this badly.

CLINIQUE BONUS TIME AT MACY'S FREE!

The Diva would like to know what the deal is with Clinique Bonus Time? Why is is such an exciting time? It's not that she normally buys Clinique products regularly. The Diva likes to shop around for cosmetics. She is not loyal to any. There is just too much out there to worry her pretty little head over one brand. However, she will agree that it might be necessary for her to pull hair and step on other women to be first in line for Clinique Bonus Time. She must be first after all. Its just too important and she is too important. The fabu set of FREE stuff with a $21.50 purchase (The Diva loves all free SWAG, after all) includes:

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, 1 oz.
Turnaround Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer, .24 oz.
Clinique Eye Palette
Long Last Lipstick in Bamboo Pink
Colour Surge Impossibly Glossy in Camisole, .14 oz
Red Patent Leather Train Case

Now, you ask, "Oh beautiful Diva, what should I buy?" Well, while The Diva would agree that she is beautiful, she might also recommend the Repairwear Intensive Lip Treatment for $25.00. The Diva insists is is THE BEST for having fabulous, kissable lips. (Just ask any of her suitors). This smooth, gel-based lip treatment boosts natural collagen production. It also replenishes the natural moisture barrier so lips stay soft & hydrated.

CLINIQUE Repairwear Intensive Lip Treatment - $25.00

TRENDY KNIT LEGGINGS

Original: $21.50
Now: $14.99

If you are a true-blue Diva-Fashionista-in training, you should already be well aware that the trend this season is leggings. Leggings are EVERYWHERE. Thanks to the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Sienna Miller (The Divas BFFs, of course) you are more than welcome to wear them with practically anything and everything. Wear them under long shirts, dresses, jumpers, or The Divas favorite, super short skirts (The Diva LOVES to show off her legs, because of course, they are fabulous). Shoes to wear with, you ask? Well, that my darlings depends solely on the length of your leggings. Now, Lindsay might go the ballet flats route (you know The Divas thoughts on flats). Sienna might go the chic ankle boots route. The Diva prefers heels all the way. Platforms, mind you. She loves platforms with leggings. So, go buy a pair of leggings. Heck, buy five. At $14.99/each, you most certainly cant afford NOT to.

GUESS "ROMMY" PUMPS

$99.00

The Diva simply cannot live without her heels. It really doesn't matter what they look like really, as long as they are at least 3 inches high. She feels it's not even worth your time to walk to the mailbox unless you are in 3 inch heels. Sure, she understands that thanks to Mischa Barton, the ballet flats are all the "rage". And that flip flops are now the "trend".But she would rather you just take a bus to Oklahoma and work on the farm if it is all the same to you. However, she swears she does not purposely wear heels to tower over people to intimidate them and make them feel beneath her...however, she does accept this as an added benefit.

She is simply ooooogling these Guess "Rommy" Pumps. They come in camel and milk chocolate, and thinks they are the perfect shoe to transition you into the fall season. And the uber-trendy round toe is guaranteed to get stares from men and women alike. And a 4-inch heel? Why...that just made her swoon with delight.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. And we know you have come to think of The Diva as a soulless heartless bitch (which she is the majority of the time, natch) but not for this cause!

ORREFORS BALANS MARTINI

$37.50/Set of 2

The Diva wants to let her readers know that a party would never be a party without a proper Martini bar. When you plan a party, it is necessary to have a variety of alcohol beverages on hand, depending on your guests. And depending on the party, the appropriate barware is key. A bar set could never be complete, of course, without classic, swanky martini glasses. These ultra sheek Orrefors Balans Martini glasses from Dishes Decor and More are no exception. You can telepathically channel Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin with these babies. Or enjoy a cosmopolitan a la Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and The City like The Diva likes to do every day when she is dressing for a night out. So, The Diva begs of you to purchase these if you don't' have some already. Have some class. Have style. And have a toddy (even if it is not yet 5:00 pm, The Diva will agree that the consumption of alcohol is quite fine.)

Opulence Bath Sheets with FREE monogram

$6.99 to $54.99

The Diva doesn't know if it is because she is a true Southern Belle or not, but she tried to seriously monogram everything she owns. Be it pillow cases, towels, table runners, or napkins you can bet her initials are on EVERYTHING. And that is as it should be, correct? So when she spots a new opportunity to get something monogrammed, she becomes obsessed. And when she sees that LinenSource is offering a FREE monogram with purchase, the poor Diva can barely contain herself. Offered in a fabulous array of 21 designer colors to match any stylish decor, the Opulence Bath Sheets are a amazing buy. And a FREE MONOGRAM! Okay, she needs to go take her Xanax now. (psst.. and they were also rated the best towel by Real Simple Magazine. Go take a peek)

JLO by Jennifer Lopez

Women's Swarovski Crystal Circle Bracelet Watch

$150.00

The Diva suggests that if you must wear a watch: Please, please let it be fashionable. She is so sick of seeing these fabulous outfits on beautiful women and their manly watches. She shrieks as she looks to their wrist and sees some type of scuba-diver type of crap. Ladies, please, get yourself a beautiful watch. It is an accessory after all. And The Diva wonders when you were actually going to go for a ocean dive in a dress and stilettos? I thought so. Take this watch for example. Fabulous lines, clean look - simply fabulous. This is the Swarovski Crystal Circle Bracelet Watch by JLo. (Yes, she can design some stylish things, mind you.) A glittering Swarovski crystal bezel makes this art-deco style watch sparkle. With stainless steel bracelet and case, Swarovski crystal accents and white dial. Oooo! And added bonus - a watch and a bracelet. All in one. Hell of a deal.

Fragrancenet.com

Of course, one of the most important things about being a Diva is the importance of smelling like a million dollars. The Diva has about 100 different kinds of perfume. She wears them depending on what her plans are for the day. The Opera is one kind, a day of shopping requires another, and a Hollywood Premiere is a different scent else all together. That’s why she loves Fragrancenet.com. They have the absolute largest inventory of genuine, brand name fragrances, skincare, candles, aromatherapy and more at the lowest possible prices.
