Worst Fashion Trends of 2008
Posted by Kori Ellis in Shopping, Style on December 20th, 2008
Don’t get me wrong, I loved some of the fashion trends from 2008, including ruffled blouses, skinny jeans and shooties. However, there are some trends that I don’t mind if I never see again.
High-waisted pants
Who decided these were attractive on anyone? If you wear high-waisted pants, you lose all your curves and femininity. Now, I’m not a fan of low-waisted jeans that create a muffin top and expose your crack when you lean over either. How about just “waisted” pants.
The maxi dress
Definitely Angelina Jolie’s fault for starting this trend but she had an excuse - she was pregnant. These billowy, long dresses are great if you want something comfy to lounge around in, but they shouldn’t be for every day wear. Fortunately, things are looking a lot more fitted for spring.
Knee-high gladiators
I’m not a big fan of gladiator sandals to begin with. So when they started getting higher and higher, I was disgusted. I hope was hoping they’d fade away as summer ended and we’d never see gladiators again. Unfortunately, many designers have churned out all new gladiator sandals for 2009.

Beauty Product of the Week: Perricone MD Firming Neck Therapy
Posted by Kori Ellis in Beauty on December 5th, 2008
One of the things I hate the most is when I see a woman with a beautiful tight face and a turkey neck. It’s usually women who have had too much plastic surgery and just forget that everyone can see their saggy neck wrinkles. But it does bring up a point - many women spend a lot of time (and money) preserving their face and neglect the skin on their neck.
Recently, I had the opportunity to try Perricone MD Firming Neck Therapy. This product is specifically designed for your neck. It fights premature wrinkles, smoothing and toning the appearance of your neck.
This fragrance-free cream is soothing and calming. I loved it because it wasn’t greasy at all, like some heavy face creams. It absorbed easily without much residue. Though I don’t have any turkey wrinkles yet, it did really help the appearance and texture of the skin on my neck. After a few days, it was noticeable smoother to the touch.
I used it nightly for a week, rubbing it in a circular motion on the neck (the massage is good for the circulation and skin too!). I also noticed that it’s great for the hands!
You can order the 1.7 oz jar Perricone MD Firming Neck Therapy on it’s own for $95 fromo Perricone MD directly, or various other retailers. But my suggestion is to go to Beauty Fix, where you can get it as part of the current package. With Beauty Fix, you get 8 fabulous products, plus a bonus product for only $50. Retail value is over $400! Check out Beauty Fix and sign up for your quarterly subscription.
