SJP is the new creative director of Halston Heritage, a less expensive extension of the famed label Halston.  If there was ever a celebrity fit to be a designer and/or work for a major label, Sarah Jessica is it.  In the 1960s and 70s, Halston was creating what would become iconic fashion statements.  He designed Jackie Kennedy's pillbox hat worn to JFK's inauguration.  And created the darling of the disco: the jersey jumpsuit.  After a disappointing re-birth in 2008, the brand is looking to generate some excitement and jumpstart the new Halston Heritage line which includes pieces ranging from $55-$595.  Above, SJP pictured in a dress from the new line on the set of SATC 2.  I can't wait to see what she brings to the line, and in a world where celebrity fashion lines are a common as celebrity rehab, you can bet all eyes will be on SJP and Halston, as she tries to rise above her celebrity status to create something truly substantial at the fashion house.

Good Morning!

Now that I am well into my second official week as someone who works from home, I thought I'd reach out to the blogosphere for a little advice!  So my fellow, work from home-ers, what are your best tips and tricks for staying focused and being productive?  I'm a pretty organized and on task person, but there's always more to learn, and who better to ask, than you my readers?  So let me have it. What is your best advice?

xoxo,

I'm back from Atlanta and glad to be home!  We had a great time at the mart and I scored a couple of small cash and carry items that I really liked.  I'll share some of those with you later on but this morning I wanted to talk about my new fav. item!

I have the worst under eye circles in the world!  I am always looking for a miracle concealer to hide a plethora of sins and a couple of weeks ago I went to Ulta and bought Benefit's Erase Paste.  I had been looking at it for awhile and decided it was time.  The first time I used it, I used too much but I quickly got the hang of it and it works like a charm!  It conceals the dark circles and it really brightens the eye area.  And as a bonus, you use so little that even though it's a small pot, I know its going to last a long time.  Here's before and after from Sephora, this girls under eye circles aren't as bad as mine but you can see how well it covers:

I use it under my eyes are around my nose and then put the rest of my make-up on as usual!

Part sneaker, part ballet flat--cute right??  I'm hoping they fit and prove to be as comfortable as I think they will be!

Well maybe old friend is a stretch but I guarantee thats how most life-long seminoles felt New Year's Day in Jacksonville and as they watched from home when Bobby Bowden took the field for the last time.  It was a great day full of celebration, nostalgia and most notably: victory!  Coach Bowden has a laundry list of professional accomplishments that any head coach would love to have, but his greatest loves have always been his family and his faith and football has never been his God.  My dad played for Coach Bowden so I feel a little more connected than most and have fond memories of running around the field house as a little girl long after my dad played his last down.  There will never be another coach with such a legacy, such integrity and such grace. Thanks for the memories, the laughs and the 34 years you spent building the program I love so much.
