Like Angelina Jolie's Style? Copy Her Loafers for Fall

Angelina Jolie has always been applauded for her modern classic style on the red carpet.

But what about OFF the Hollywood scene?

The big star also nails it on the street, and VOGUE.com has taken notice of Angelina's footwear.

Take a look, as the gorgeous actress LOVES wearing  these when she's in and out of airports.



LOAFERS. Never go out of style + instant sophistication.

Plus, surprisingly NOT as expensive,  as we thought these shoes would be.

LESS than $200.  That's right......$170 (traditional $425 retail).



100% Italian leather from Brescia.

As described by the Everlane brand:

An elegant, architectural flat that feels as good as it looks. The hand-polished leather is half chrome-tanned and half vegetable-tanned leather, so it’s super soft but still structured.

Do you like Angelina Jolie's preppy flair?

I have a similar pair of classic black loafers but hardly wear them. No, mine are NOT the $170 pair.

Come fall, this is a great look to put on. I will have to reconsider.

Nice, comfy travel shoes.

Ariana Grande's Beauty Secret For Perfect High Ponytail ---Bungees!

If any star can wear a glam high ponytail, it's Ariana Grande.

Here's the petite cutie a few days ago sporting trendy bangs, too, and a ponytail that ALWAYS stays secure + in place. 



If your hair's misbehaving, but you still want to rock the perfect pony, then wrap one of these around it, says Ariana's stylist Aaron Light, who created the gorgeous style on Tuesday for the star singer.

This is what he uses to SECURE Ariana's ponytail:



This is the Smoothies Bungee Band.  And I could ONLY find them here at Amazon (3 for $7.31).

These are especially effective for thick tresses or those that don't behave when you're trying to style your mane.

Bungee bands are different from regular hair elastics, because they are designed with 2 hooks on each end, enabling you to CLIP your pony together, instead of LOOPING an elastic around it.

Here's how stylist Aaron Light explains it in Allure magazine:

"I love using bungees, especially on clients with thick hair, because you have more control over the hair and can achieve a very tight and secure ponytail. Regular hair bands have a tendency to slip, where bungees really stay put at the base."

Now that's a really good STAR beauty tip!

Try These 2 Cheap Whitening Toothpastes For Extra Brightness----Less Than $5!!

You've heard me talk about WHITER teeth and the quest to BRIGHTEN without busting the beauty budget.

I've been using a 2-punch combo of whitening toothpastes for the past couple of weeks now in the AM + PM.

And you know what?

This double combo is NOT bad.

Okay,so it isn't going to provide the blinding brightness of an in-office dental procedure like ZOOM!, but on the cheap end, I think it lifts minor stains +actually WHITENS.

Here they are:

1. Ultra brite Advanced Whitening Toothpaste ($1.00, at RiteAid or Dollar Tree).


2.  Plus White Toothpaste ($3.00, at Walmart).


LESS than $5 bucks for the TOTAL!!

Can't beat it.

I like to start with the Ultra brite first.....and then LAYER some Plus White on top and brush away.

Great stuff! Try it for 2 weeks and see. You're not wasting a HUGE amount of $$. And if it works for you, then that's a good thing.

iO! Foaming Cleanser: Softer, Smoother, Clearer Complexion. Nothing Else Like it!

We all want clear, smooth, radiant skin that hopefully, NEVER ages. And if we limit our time in the sun, stay away from smoking + not over-do alcoholic beverages, we can MAINTAIN a gorgeous complexion.

How we WASH our faces also matters. We need exfoliation but NOT severe scrubbing, especially if we suffer from break-outs.  Maybe iO!, the gentle iodine soap can help you.


Acne is the worst......at ANY age. When we're young, it can destroy our self-esteem.

Just ask model Kendall Jenner, sister of the famous Kardashian family. Kendall's complexion appears flawless these days...BUT...it wasn't always that way.

If you're trying to develop smooth, airbrushed skin, then iO! is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G facial foaming cleanser to try. And it has the sensible science to back it up.


I've had the opportunity to try this unique, gentle cleanser of amber-colored foam for a few weeks now, and it's awesome!

iO! actually contains a tiny amount of iodine in it to provide SUPERIOR cleansing, exfoliation + complexion balance. 




It will leave your face + neck feeling so-ooooo soft + smooth, and CLEAR.

iO! foaming facial cleanser has a rare history to it, too, as told to us by the President of iO!, Ann R. Hansen of Portland, Oregon.

Our bodies naturally NEED iodine to make thyroid hormones for various body functions.

Iodine is an antiviral, antiseptic mineral that promotes fast healing. Maybe you have a bottle of tincture of iodine in your medicine cabinet.

Ann's family patented an iodine-based teat drip 20 years ago, for dairy farmers to relieve their cow's dry, wrinkled teats from repeated milkings. That drip remains popular on dairy farms today.

Her family's iO! gentle iodine soap works along those same principles, offering exfoliation for smoother, younger-looking skin, visible lightening of scars + a clear, no-pimpled complexion.

This stuff works! And it's SIMPLE + ECONOMICAL to use.

You only need a pump or two of iO! foam cleanser into your palms.

Apply DRY to your face, feet or hands.....and MASSAGE in.

Leave it on for about a minute. Then RINSE it off.

Your skin will FEEL like a newborn's. Don't believe me? Just try it for yourself and see. You get a BIG 6 oz. bottle for $29.95 + free shipping.

I LOVE iO! It's a keeper.

On-Trend: Really Bold In Your Face Lipstick In Colors Beyond The Rainbow

The BOLD + the BEAUTIFUL is MORE than a popular TV soap opera.

When it comes to beauty, vivid lipsticks are so-ooooo HOT at the moment.

If you're UNDER age 40, we say, Go for it!

These bold + beautiful lipsticks are true head-turners in colors that go BEYOND the rainbow.

We believe the giant cosmetics brands like the Maybellines are now making bad girl makeup a mainstream thing.

It was the genius of  Lime Crime makeup founder Doe Deere, who 1st introduced the masses to her incredible vivid color palettes, in bizarro shades, such as this one below:

CEMENT (on sale now, $16, at LimeCrime.com).



Then celebrities like Lipuita Nyong'o started introducing these bold colors while walking the famous red carpet.

And now, Maybelline is DUPING the beauty trend with their OWN line of LOADED BOLDS lipsticks in 20 colors that also stretch the color spectrum. .

Here's their take on it, in Sapphire,  $7.49.

So, this it the HOT look for lips.....Blue, Cement, Squash, Green, Yellow, Purple.

Time to get your FREAK on, ladies.

Have FUN!
