Book of the week: I Think I Love You
There's a good review in the New York Times today about Allison Pearson's new novel, I think I love You. The story appears to be quite different from her first novel, I Don't Know How She Does It, about an overworked mother toiling in the London financial world.
I adored her her first novel and can't wait for the movie to come out in 2012 with Sarah Jessica Parker and Pierce Brosnan!

Happy Monday!!
Hope you had a fantastic weekend! I watched a few episodes of Mad Men, got my bangs cut and picked up a copy of and read American Dior by Assouline, it is diviiiiine! I found it at Librissime, a gorgeous bookstore in Montreal. They carry books about fashion and art, it's definitely worth the detour.
Have a lovely week!!

Stephanie's DIY: Great Lips!
Many of you ladies no doubt have your perfect lipstick that you can't live without, but when it breaks or shifts at its base you're left with a goopy, sloppy and unreliable stick! Solution, found!
Instead of breaking up the stub and just squishing it into a little sampler pot, here are two great suggestions incorporating the same idea to help get a professional result. What's also great about these methods is that you can use them to modify a color you already love by trying these little tricks:
1) Add extra lip gloss to the mix to dilute your color and make it more of a stain for a daytime look.
2) Add some shimmer from your eyeshadow or another cosmetic if you want a change from your usual matte color.
3) Mix in another color if your routine usually consists of blending two colors anyways!
The trick to these is to find your ratio of color vs. added ingredient.
PS: Hold on to this post for the summer months when your car and purse are bound to make a few sticks melt! Also, remember that if your favorite shade gets discontinued, you can now salvage all those ends that you thought you'd never use.
Have a great end-of-the-week and pucker up!
