Oops! Don't Get Too Excited. Kim K Wearing A Faux Set

Kim Kardashian gets bangs and it's practically front page news. We have bangs, and no one cares....LOL.

Well, the most watched and followed reality star on the planet was strolling through LAX yesterday, and the paps went crazy trailing the petite beauty as she showed off a set of brand new bangs. We thought the fringe was real, but alas.... they were merely a thing of the moment, said KK in her blog:

"I saw a few of you tweeting me about my bangs!! The bangs are fake! Just clip ons! I had a fun Cosmo cover shoot yesterday and Chris McMillan clipped these on!"

We have to admit---the fringe really looks natural. If you've ever had bangs and then tired of them within 48 hours or so, clip-ons are the way to go, because the style is only temporary, and if the look just isn't for you, you can simply remove the faux fringe and not have to worry about the long, boring growing-out phase.

We found some clip-on bangs at misikko.com on SALE for $32.99.

Have you ever worn clip-in bangs, and do you think it's a smart beauty buy?

As far as Kim's lighter hair color.... Do you like this look, or prefer the almost black tresses she was famous for?

How about Kim K in bangs? Good look or take them out, please!?

How To Look Young Like Bev Housewives Star Lisa Vanderpump

We LOVE when good-looking celebrities give out real beauty tips, or at least the appearance of their age-defying secrets. Take Lisa Vanderpump the 52-year-old star of Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

In our humble estimation, the lovely restaurateur who adores the color pink, actually looks great at 52. She does not appear to be plastic surgery pulled back or too cuckoo on cosmetic injectables. Sure, she's doing 'something' to stay young and pretty. And the mama to itty-bitty dog Jiggy is dishing how she keeps it together.
This is what she recently spilled to StyleGoesStrong:

"I'm very honest. I always say that I'll tell you the truth about this topic," Lisa explains. "The truth is I haven't done anything major.

"I do a bit of Botox and filler. I use the retinol acid to keep the skin exfoliating,"
she says.

"Otherwise, I'm pretty low maintenance," she says.

In addition, the British beauty claims she styles her own hair on the set of the housewives show.

As far as that signature pretty pink pout goes, here are Lias Vanderpump's tips for looking gorg at 50-something:

"I think the Chanel lip glosses are amazing. You really do get what you pay for," Lisa says.

"I do a mix of Chanel glosses to get that pink," she shares. "My number one is Chanel 11 and I mix it with a pinker one called Chanel 02. Then I use a nude lip liner."

"I mix it up a bit and use one of the glosses more than the other," she says. "I think if you go for a little something on your eyelashes and a little gloss on your mouth then you're good to go."

Thanks for revealing, Lisa Vanderpump!

Super Cute Porcelain Red Toile Print Teapot For Christmas!

Let us be frank here. We don't like tea, BUT---we DO adore super cute teapots. And we have girlfriends who like to collect them, too.

We stumbled on to this real beauty:

Teapot Lovers Red from the DanielBooneTradingPost ($34.50, porcelain red toile-print teapot).

It's so very 'Downtown Abbey! And we like the size of this Madison Bay reproduction teapot, measuring 9 1/2". It breathes British aristocrat.

This makes for a lovely holiday gift, and looks much more expensive than it really is. A party hostess would enjoy receiving a present like this.

If you're scrambling around, frantic for the perfect holiday gift, try a tempting teapot like this one.

Stocking Stuffer Beauty Cream That Promises 8 Skin Miracles


Okay, we get a little uncomfortable when beauty products promise to remove wrinkles, permanently firm up the face, fade irregular skin tone perfectly, and so on. You get the drill.

We're still going to talk about Bremenn Labs' Miracle Cream (for the face) ($49 for 1.3 fl. oz., at bremmenlabs. It comes with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed label, or you get your money back.

So, that is fair.

Bremenn's Miracle Cream performs 8 Beauty Rescues:
1. as a wrinkle cream.
2. as a firming cream.
3. as a moisturizing cream.
4. as a neck cream.
5. as an eye cream.
6 as an anti-aging cream.
7. as an day cream.
8. as a night cream.

Yeah, right, you sneer?

According to Bremenn Labs, their Miracle Cream contains a winning combo of effective ingredients that claim to increase skin elasticity and firmness, fade discoloration, brighten and smooth the complexion, etc. The formula includes: peptides, unicellular algae, red seaweed and a few other intersting things.

There you have it. This skin cream is worth a try, especially if you find it as a Christmas stocking stuffer!

Bling In The Holidays With A Cute Collar Necklace

Celebrities like Katy Perry understand the glam power of the collar necklace! This 0h-so-HOT jewelry trend continues to make waves right through the holidays, when a little pop of pretty bling around your collar looks that more special.

If you have an extra $18,000 to splurge on the amazing Amrapali Victorian diamond necklace that cutie Katy is showing off here, then by all means, go grab it! But, if you're like most of us, well, an adorable collar necklace at a much cheaper price will do.

Our gal-pal emailed us a sassy substitute. Check it out below by Lucky Brand ($55, at Macys). How lovely is this?! Ornate open-work in gold-tone mixed metal.

And there's more. We hunted down 2 more collar necklaces. These are so adorable. The collar necklace is a super fashion accessory, because it brings all attention to the face and neck. It's a flattering style!

Look at this stunning piece by Anthropolgie. All eyes will be on you in this Sparked Agate Collar Necklace ($58). So elegant.



And you gotta want the Lacquered Link Collar Necklace by Forever21. It's on SALE for only $10.80/ Can't beat that.  So pretty in peach.
.
We all seem to freak out about the dress or top we're going to wear for the holidays, when sometimes, just a striking piece of jewelry says so much, and makes the outfit pop.

And that's exactly what a collar necklace can do.
