Batty Brits
The New York Times dedicated this past weekend’s T – their style magazine to what they’re calling the Batty Brits. Included in the magazine are Boy George, and actress Samantha Morton. The interactive counterpart to the magazine should help you ease into your monday morning, or atleast keep you occupied for the next five minutes.
The chill in the air has made us crave boots. In Imelda Marcos amounts. Oprah gets it. The latest edition of O highlights the best of the boots available this fall, including the most comfortable, and the most affordable.
Self magazine is the lookout for underwear that won’t give you a wedgie at the gym, and Alyssa Milano has some cute stuff to wear while you cheer on the Phillies from her line created just for women, Touch.
Lastly, I Heart Daily discusses the Ralph Lauren model that was heavily photoshopped and allegedly fired, and features a Q & A with a professional retoucher. The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty video at the bottom is eye opening to say the least.
Terrific Tuesday

We heard that a certain famous Victoria’s Secret model straightens her hair with embalming fluid. Sorry, we’re still absorbing this information. Apparently it’s popular in Brazil. Hearing things like this only make us want to see Chris Rock’s Good Hair even more.
On an unrelated note, it looks The Frisky found one of like Marc Jacobs’ has creations – a bracelet with animals charms, that DOESN’T cost an arm and a leg. Nice. NBC10’s Lilliana Vazquez highlight cute shoes from different price ranges.
Self.com lets you guess what the beauty product does as well as highlights the best trends in color for the fall – that’s nail polish, eye shadows and neon headbands. All this while Teen Vouge teaches you how to create looks featured on the website yourself.

In addition to admitting that their covers are completely unrealistic, Self magazine has some makeup products to try if you want to make yourself look younger. It’s basically just blush and lipgloss, but I think the slideshow is pretty. They’ve also got a slideshow featuring natural beauty products. Self also has a recipe for what I’ve been craving over the past few hot days – gazpacho. Deeelish.
Glamour has a slideshow featuring gorgeous cocktail rings.
In addition to revealing Self’s confession, Jezebel also has a conversation between a mother and I’m assuming a daughter. It’s funny. It reminds me of my mom, but I like when she does the little smiley faces. I feel like they are under used past a certain point, except from creepy guys. It’s nice to know someone with no ill intentions like momma dukes just wants to emoticon it up.
Lastly, e-mails from crazy people might become the new fmylife.com or texts from last night. Check it out.
