Good Love & Good Style
What you wear can change your life or your mood. Often the reason a woman can’t find a great guy or get a great job is because she’s turning them off with her lack of style. Two good reasons to pay attention to your packaging.
Good love and good style will always bring out the best in you!

Local fashion designer Becky Carter shows off some of her designs as a preview of the upcoming San Francisco Fashion Week.

Hollywood makeup artist Ellis Hampton clears up some of the grooming challenges men face.

Designer Cindy Vo with the latest on what's out and what's hot in summer fashions.

Ponytails & braids are hot, hot, hot!
As much as we LOVE the loose bun trend of2005'05, it's purported not to be back this spring, according to Glamour magazine. (We plan to ignore this, however, since we feel loose buns are effortlessly & timelessly classy). If you're big on trends, opt for loose ponytails & braids.

Rummage around for red
...lipstick that is. Red lips continue to be classy for Spring. Just remember to keep your eye makeup light.

Long lashes are big.
A huge trend. Layer on the mascara. Several coats should do you. (Don't believe the old beauty 'no' that you should only apply 2 coats of mascara. That 'don't' is now a 'do' -- you just can't get lush, thick lashes with only two coats.

Don't over bronze.
Fake tanned skin is in again, but don't go overboard ala 'Dancing With the Stars' George Hamilton. Instead, try layering your fake tan with a light tanning cream set with a tinted moisturizer or a bronzing powder.

The best thing about bronzed skin? You can go light on the rest of your makeup. We love bronzed skin paired with a pink lip gloss & mascara.

Spring is all about shimmer.
We love the look of shimmer on eyes & cheeks, especially on tanned skin. How can we get the glow?.

Coral is not just for Floridian retirees.
Coral is in this spring for women of all ages. 'O' magazine trumps it as the perfect shade when pink feels cliched & red is just too vampy. The deal with coral is to stay away from mattes & opt instead for glosses & lipsticks that you apply with your finger (the stick itself can make the color too heavy). You want it to look as if you just ate a piece of fruit, according to 'O'. Okay then! P. S. Coral looks especially great with a tan. And try it on your toes.

Moisturizer and Sun block
As important as mascara

Organize And Store Properly
The first key to maintaining your jewelry is to organize and store it properly in special containers.

Organization/Storage No-No’s:
Do not heap your jewelry in one drawer or box. Metals and gems can scratch each other, so keep them separate – wrapped in velvet, paper or silk.

Proper Cleaning
Regularly clean and inspect your jewelry and remove it before showering, sleeping, exercising, cleaning house and working in the yard.

Cleaning No-No’s:
Do not use toothpaste, it’s an abrasive. Be careful with ultrasonic cleaners; they are generally not recommended for pearls, opals or emeralds.

Golden Rule for Cleaning:
All fine jewelry can be soaked in warm or room temperature soapy water (non-detergent) for 10 minutes. Pat items dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Air dry pearls before putting them away.

When in Doubt:
Consult with the purchase source regarding specific care and tolerances or visit resources such as jtv.com, jic.organd gia.edu.

Other Facts About Maintaining Your Jewelry
Gold: Gold’s worst offender is chlorine so never wear it in the pool, hot tub, or while using cleaning products. Chlorine breaks down the metal and causes breakage. Platinum is also sensitive to chlorine.

Silver: Avoid ammonia.

Pearls:
Store them in soft velvet cloths away from other jewelry and avoid cosmetics, perfumes and household chemicals. Restring pearls every one to two years, depending on how frequently they’re worn. Gemstone care depends on hardness: Pearls are the most fragile gemstone, and diamonds are the hardest. But even diamonds need TLC as they can still break or fall out, especially if you’re not periodically checking for loose stones.

Other: Some gems require even more special care. Opals contain water and can crack if stored in dry or freezing environments. Emeralds, garnet and tanzanite can break if exposed to extreme temperature changes.
