Frito-Lay 100-Calorie Packs Keep Fashion-Forward Maya On Track- See What They Can Do For You!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageMeet Maya. She’s fun and fabulous, and she knows it! Her honestly may scare you, but beneath that is a great friend who wants the best for her family and friends. A fashion lover with bold, funky style, she owns her own boutique, and when she’s not spending time with her doting husband Simon she can be found shopping, gabbing on her cell phone, or working out- though she admits it’s not her favorite thing in the world. So when the middle of the afternoon rolls around and she’s craving a snack, she reaches for a Sun Chips harvest cheddar 100-calorie pack. The perfectly pre-packaged on-the-go snacks are more than just satisfying- these portion-controlled indulgences are wonderfully guilt-free too, so Maya can focus on her shopping appetite, which- let’s face it- isn’t exactly guilt-free. Nobody’s perfect, but with Frito-Lay, our snacks can be!

Click over to awomansworld.com to meet Maya’s friends, watch fun webisodes, and learn more about new guiltless pleasures from Baked Lays, Smartfoods, and Flat Earth. Stay tuned for more from Maya!

Have You Seen The Chanel No. 5 Short Film With Audrey Tautou?

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWatch the new short film for Chanel No. 5 on the product’s official website! It stars Amelie’s Audrey Tautou and is set to debut as a TV advertisement soon. The mood is definitely romantic with its train setting, longing looks, and its exotic Istanbul locale. Amelie director, French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet, brings a softer, romantic side to Chanel No. 5 — a stark contrast to the glitzy and glamorous ads starring Nicole Kidman, as well as the ones from the 80’s with Carole Bouquet. Chanel No. 5 becomes a soft, artistic, and sophisticated lady thanks to Audrey Tautou. On a side note, I love the delicate star necklace she’s wearing in the last scene! What do you think?

Reel to Real: Diane Keaton in “Annie Hall”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIs there anything more quintessentially New York chic than Diane Keaton’s wardrobe in Woody Allen’s classic ode to love, “Annie Hall?” Trailblazing and iconic, Annie Hall’s style was boyfriend before there was boyfriend: mannish trousers, waistcoats, tailored blouses, bowler hats, wingtip oxfords, and oversize blazers created a look that was part English country gentleman, part West Village bohemian. Even more fashion-forward? The look was pretty much Diane Keaton’s own creation. According to movie lore, the film’s costumer, Nancy McArdle, was at best dubious about how Keaton’s look would appeal to moviegoers but at Woody Allen’s vehement insistence, Diane’s quirky, personal fashion sense was allowed to remain and become Annie’s own. McArdle worked closely with another fashion icon, Ralph Lauren, to design the costumes, including Annie’s signature polka-dot tie. Thus, fashion inspiration for the ages was born. Annie Hall’s continued influence on fashion is seen in many places today, from the trendsetting looks sported by Agyness Deyn, Kate Moss, and Mary-Kate Olsen, to collections by designers such as Marc Jacobs and Boy by Band of Outsiders. Click the slideshow for a look at how you can channel the best of Annie’s looks in today’s fashion terms.

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageHave you ever spent way too much time planning out the day’s ensemble the night before, only to put it on the next morning and realize it looks significantly more “blah” on you than it did in your head?

Don’t fret, dear stylistas; as usual, Stylehive’s Stylescopes are here to fix your fashion woes and provide you with stellar style advice that is sure to help you get through the week! A boringly bare outfit usually just needs a little glamming or glitzing up by means of jewelry — a pendant necklace to keep a naked collar company, a dangly pair of earrings to keep the attention on your pretty face, some bangles to add a dash of flash to your wrists — the possibilities are practically endless! The heavens forbid, however, that you go overboard with the bling, so make sure you choose your ornaments wisely… and that’s where the stars come in! Aries girls can call on some old Hollywood glamor with an updated pearl necklace for some added classy flair to a seemingly everyday outfit, and Capricorns will show they mean business with a pair of gold coin earrings, just for example!

Take A Trip To Morocco Without Leaving The Room!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageDo you go to a bookstore and always wander to the travel section? Or when people ask you where you got an article of clothing, your answer is always from a different country? But like most people, the heart is willing, but the wallet isn’t very giving. If you can only afford to go to Paris, Texas this summer, then it’s only right for us to bring the world to you. Today’s stop on the world tour is Morocco! Known for their tile print motifs and bright colors, Moroccan influences can be easily found in home decor pieces. Think of getting some gauzy linen curtains, lanterns in every corner, and bright pops of orange and red. The large Agadir Pouf from Anthropologie can be used as an ottoman or floor seating for extra guests. Another favorite pick is a bold medallion rug, appropriate for your entryway or dining room. Check out my slideshow for more Moroccan-style picks for your home!

Khaki Suits Keep It Cool In The Spring And Summer

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageA khaki suit is like a refreshing beverage on a warm day. It’s crisp. It’s light and it suits (no pun intended) the season. As the cooler seasons come to a close, put your black suit on the back burner and go for some lighter fare. A suit within the color palette of khaki can look just as good and sleek as a black suit. Another bonus for the khaki garb is that a lot of them are sold as separates and there’s more versatility with the pieces– but personally, I like to keep them all together. I have a separate black and khaki blazer that I use as my fail-safe separate. With the Ralph Lauren Rugby Newbury Chino suit, you can look like the perfect dandy and with a classic Brooks Brothers two-button poplin suit you can be the refined gentleman you were meant to be. A khaki or tan suit has this “happy-go-lucky” vibe that shines with the sun. With the right shirt, tie and pocket square, a lighter suit is a must for the spring and summer seasons. Check out the slideshow for some of these cool suits that are a lighter shade of brown.

Which Brown-Eyed Beauty Has The Freshest Spring Makeup Look?

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWith spring romantic comedies and action-packed blockbusters hitting the theaters and the Tribeca Film Festival in full swing, it may not be awards season anymore, but that doesn’t mean that the red carpet is the least bit lonely! And while the warming weather certainly has us on the lookout for flirty styles and considerably shorter hemlines waltzing down the paparazzi parade, the season has also been lending itself to refreshing beauty trends that are just as note-worthy as the shrinking ensembles (after all — celebs always have to be ready for their close-up!). With nude and natural toned-down glossy lips, thick lashes, and edgy-yet-classy metallic liner, this season’s red carpet arrivals are demonstrating that when it comes to making an attention-grabbing appearance, it’s all about the eyes. For example, the effortlessly seductive Kim Kardashian looked alluring at Tribeca’s “Wonderful World” premiere with lush lash extensions, and Julia Roberts’ charcoal-rimmed liner brightened her pretty peepers at The Film Society’s Gala Tribute. Vote below on which premiere attendee’s springtime beauty regime you covet the most! Photo Credit: PR Photos
