I want that! Joy Bryant's sparkling Missoni dress

I want that! Joy Bryant's sparkling Missoni dress
Okay, we are just loving us some Joy Bryant this week. Earlier this year she attended the New Yorkers for Children Celebrates New Year's in April party which was hosted by Missoni. Always the good little client, Joy wore this shimmering one shouldered gem by the design house beautifully.

We love how the neutral palette tones the dress down just right. So instead of looking like she fell off "The Love Boat," she ended up looking radiant as ever.

Please note the simplicity of the accessories and the pocket(!) which allow Joy to keep her casual elegance in such a glittering, glamazon look. A single silver bracelet, gold pumps and a small gold clutch. That's it.

Ah Joy brings us so much Joy. (Sorry, had to.)

Mani-pedis cost even more than you thought

Mani-pedis cost even more than you thought
In a report released last week, the YWCA said that women and girls are way too worried about being beautiful. For example, more than 80 percent of the women polled said they were unhappy with their appearance. And our obsession with looking good isn't only costing us our happiness–it's costing us money.

Among the make-you-think statistics the report included was this tidbit: if women put the average $50 that monthly manicures and pedicures cost into a retirement account once a year, they'd save almost $10,000 in a decade. Shocking number, yes. (Personally, I'd rather give up my three-day-a-week Starbucks habit, though. It would save me about the same amount). I'm curious: which $50-a-month beauty fix could you go without for ten years...if the reward was ten grand?

Call us purists, but we love when people wear the shades that work best with their hair and skin color. We like blonds in blue, and we really love redheads in green. Needless to say, we think Debra Messing looks absolutely stunning in this green wraparound dress.

She hit a perfect mix of sleek, sexy, and feminine with this look, and it's a look you can easily modify to suit yourself.
