Nudes at the Golden Globes?
"Going nude" was the big thing, this year, at the GGs. To pull off this look wear a nude tone that is either lighter or darker than your skin tone. Wearing a colored dress too similar to your skin tone will produce a ghostly pallor to your skin. Plus you will look nude from a distance (see Julie Bowen below).

Versace at H&M?
Yes, it's true. Versace has graced the floors of the uber chic & cheap H&M. While Versace for H&M is well-priced, you could still get some sticker shock. Prices range from $20 to $400 bucks. These are my favorite dresses…in store now.
Insider Beauty Secrets for Your Wedding Day
My dear friend and famed wedding planner, Laurie Arons is a wedding blogger for Huffington Post. I loved her last post on wedding day beauty secrets so I thought I would share just a few of her sage tips, here...

DON'T - travel to a salon on the wedding day to get your hair done
DO - have the stylist come to you, in a relaxed and private setting like your hotel or bridal suite at the venue

DON'T - use your regular hair stylist
DO - use hair and makeup artists with expertise specifically in wedding styling. These seasoned professionals are experts at sticking to tight timelines, addressing a wide variety of likes and dislikes, and keeping groups of women calm and happy on such an important occasion

About Katie's upcoming book Fashion DUEs & DUEN'Ts:
Longtime fashion stylist Katie Rice Jones thought she knew everything about dressing stylishly, until she became pregnant. Stuck between a maternity muumuu and an over sized smock top, Katie felt her clothes were 'fattering' not flattering. She was beginning to feel fashionably suffocated until she came to realize that while her body may be changing, her style didn’t have to. Conceived from this reality comes the book, Fashion DUEs & DUEn’ts, a Pregnant Stylist’s Guide to Fashionably Embracing Your Baby Bump. Launching soon...FashionDues.com
