Kim Kardashian does NOT wear jeans as much as she used to, especially since hanging with fiance Kanye West.
But when the Vogue cover girl stepped out in L.A. last evening, she squeezed into her favorite grey skinnies, in a fashion look we've seen several times before.
That's okay, because we think it's a really good, relaxed ensemble for the busy, globe-trotting reality star.
Kim isn't the only celebrity who favors a pair of grey skinny jeans. Top paid model Gisele Bundchen puts on her grey skinnies over + over again!
Of course, wealthy celebrities can afford to buy expensive jeans, and in Kim's case, she is wearing Black Orchid's Black Jewel grey skinnies in Cashmere Wash.
We found the exact pair at TheTrendBoutique for $141 + free shipping. This style feature's the label's signature 5-pocket zipper fly style with studs on the back right pocket. This piece is cut slim through the thigh and skinny in the leg.
Here is Kim K last evening in grey skinnies, black leather jacket, taupe pumps
And here is the glam star back in November in the same look with a couple of fashion adjustments + blonde locks.
We like the entire look because grey is an excellent neutral. And when you wear the same color from head-to-toe, you appear slimmer + taller. In this case, a simple, loose grey tee-shirt + grey skinnies with taupe pumps.
If you order the Black orchid Kim jeans now, you will receive them in April. Have to pre-order, ladies.

Who hasn't tried a St. Ives skin care product at least once in their lives?

St. Ives is cheap + effective. This #1 selling scrub* contains 100% natural exfoliants to deep clean pores. Apricot Extract deep cleans pores while gently removing dull, dead skin cells to reveal smoother skin.
Now---St. Ives is pushing their NEW moisturizing body sprays all over the media. Maybe Eva has tried these, too:
St. Ives Fresh Hydration Lotion Spray ($8, at drugstores). We found cheaper at Target--$5.99!
Take dry, dull skin and make it super silky, soft in seconds. We LOVE the beauty concept of a spray moisturizer. Spritz, spritz, rub it in....and you're good-to-go! We're a lazy bunch, so we think this is great! Plus....St. Ives' comes in 3 yummy scents:
Coconut Milk + Orchid Extract
Oatmeal + Shea Butter
Citrus + Vitamin C
.
Of course, we choose the coconut scent, because we adore that familiar, beach-bathing aroma.
These sound springtime nice for tackling the dry, rough spots we've all picked up during this long, ugly winter. The only con folks are saying about these body sprays---the stream shoots out cold, and kind of tough to deal with during these still frigid temps.

Zoe Kravitz Creates Beauty Drama At "Divergent" Premiere
Zoe Kravitz did something a bit different for her latest red carpet look.
Instead of the typical black, cat eye, the young, pretty actress lightened it up with a lovely, gray/silver cat eye. It appears to be done with 2 eye shadows and possibly the stunning work by a professional makeup artist. It's a modern approach to a classic, sophisticated look.
Zoe stepped out in the sexy silver eye makeup with diamond chandeliers, tons more ear jewelry and an off-shoulder dress.
The only thing overdone, are too many earrings + nose ring, if we had to fault her on any fashion or beauty note.
Otherwise, we LOVE the full, natural eyebrows, nude lip, simple hair pulled back-in-a-bun and light foundation, so we can see her adorable freckles splashed across her nose.
Try the look with a duo eye shadow like NARS in Vent Glace ($35).
Would you rock a gray/silver cat eye?

British Study Says Men Don't Really Like Women In Lots Of Makeup
Well, it's just one study, and it was conducted across the pond over in the UK.
And the results are rather interesting. Here's the big reveal with 3 key points:
Oh, really? We're not sure about that.
According to the British publication, Daily Mail, the results speak for themselves.
And the results are rather interesting. Here's the big reveal with 3 key points:
1. The study found that men prefer women when they wear less make-up.
- 2. In many cases, men preferred the opposite sex to wear 40% fewer cosmetic products.
- 3. It also found women think fellow females look better in natural make-up.
Oh, really? We're not sure about that.
According to the British publication, Daily Mail, the results speak for themselves.
"The take home message from this study is that our ideas about what the opposite sex find attractive are often inaccurate, whether it relates to body size, weight, or even something like make-up use," continued Dr Alex Jones, a psychologist involved in the study.
"The misconceptions play a role in body image and self esteem issues and are sadly based on simple misunderstandings."
The study conducted at Bangor University will be published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.
Okay....so gentlemen + most ladies, too, here are a bunch of celebs who got snapped WITHOUT makeup on.
If you all think this is really attractive, then well, we will just say nothing more. We think everyone looks even lovelier with mascara, blush, gloss, etc.

Lisa Rinna's Lips Look Larger Than Almost 4 Years After Lip Reduction Surgery
Maybe we just need better glasses, but we aren't alone in this thought. People have been remarking about Lisa Rinna's lips, again. Yes, the lips curiously look larger than when she had lip reduction surgery back in August 2010.
The sexy, former "Days of Our Lives" star said her voluptuous mouth made her who she was in Hollywood. But it was a bad filler called silicone that hardened her upper lip, creating an over-inflated, odd-looking shape to her pretty mouth.
This is what she said one year ago on the "Today" show
"Here's the story: 25 years ago, I had my lips injected with silicone. Stupid thing to do at 24," Lisa told Hoda Kotb.
"I did it with my best girlfriend, so she and I go and we get our lips done," she continued. "Fine. I have it like that for my whole career, right? So then cut to a couple of years ago, I have a doctor remove as much as they possibly can because it got to the point where they were yucky. You know, they get hard. It's gross. So they are now whatever that was after they took out as much of the silicone as they could."
Now, one year later and Lisa's lips appear as large or almost as large as the silicone pair she had in 2009 and those 20-plus years prior.
So, what has Lisa possibly done?

Lisa Rinna BEFORE surgery 2009 |
Lisa Rinna Post-surgery 1/2014 |
Lisa Rinna Post-surgery 2/2014 |
She might have had, we emphasize 'might', a better filler injected, such as a Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers like Juvederm + Restylane. These fillers wear out after a few months.
We think Lisa Rinna's lips appear inflated, once again, but in a smoother, more natural way.
What do you think, dear readers?

Rippa Is Ripped: Kelly's Breakfast Secret Contains Avocado
We all know and love Kelly Rippa from "Live with Kelly and Michael."
And there's no secret here: Rippa is ripped!!
You won't find an ounce of fat anywhere on Kelly's body. Possibly in her little, belly button, but that's about it. The woman is ultra-light but quite muscular for her tiny size.
The daytime star is a work-out freak and disciplined dieter. You will either LOVE Kelly Rippa's physique or hate it.
And it hasn't been easy for Kelly to ignore the constant, cruel tabloid headlines and comments about her such as, anorexic, eating disorder, boy's body, and so forth.
We don't know Kelly Rippa, but we do see a fit body.
Is she scary skinny, like a lot of folks say?
Well, we think she is down too fine, especially after having seen the actress spend a number of years on the former soap, "All my Children." There she was much heavier if we can use that term, and she looked equally gorgeous.
Today on "Live with Kelly and Michael,", the topic of breakfast came up. Kelly admitted that she doesn't indulge until AFTER the show, which ends at 10 AM.
She used to have this for breakfast:
Greek yogurt with blueberries + pistachios mixed in.
This morning, Kelly Rippa introduced her new fave breakfast:
mashed avocado on an English muffin with red pepper flakes.
Kelly was raving about how nutritious the avocado is, and she is right.

The avocado is such an amazing food on all fronts. Even babies can enjoy it as one of their first fruits. The avocado is heart-healthy full of good fats that can lower bad cholesterol. The soft inner fruit is packed with almost 20
vitamins and minerals, and one serving boasts a mere 50 calories. Plus this little, dynamo with the thick, pebbly skin is cholesterol-free and sodium-free.
We love avocado and we think this is a filling, little breakfast!
Thanks, Kelly!
