10 Spring Scarves for 20 Bucks or Less
Posted by Kami Gray in Style & Beauty on Mar 15th, 2010
Last week on ivillage, sixteen stylists weighed in on what’s IN and what’s OUT for this spring — complete with pretty pictures! I obviously agree with #10 (my pics!), but not sure (oh wait, yes I am!) about #8 Neon. Sorry, no day-glo for me for the whole rest of my life. And I’m so not ready to part ways with my (#7) Hair Straightener. Love #6 — Beauty Products that do double duty! Check the rest out and be totally up-to-date this season!
I’ve been a constant wearer of scarves all winter long. Just because winter is quickly drawing to a close doesn’t...
Tips for Picking and Wearing the Best Belt for Your Figure
Posted by Kami Gray in Style & Beauty on Mar 12th, 2010
Lisa Armstrong on MSN, the Victory Project, says belts are, “the IN thing for this Spring.” Lisa caught up with me a few weeks back for my take on belts and what works and why. Click here for the full article and learn some of my tips like:
“If you choose to wear leather belts, Kami recommends having a leather expert cut the back of the belt and insert elastic. That way, the belt will fit more comfortably — sometimes belts can dig into your waist or hips, especially when you sit. Also, if you pick a belt with a great buckle or intricate design, people’s attention will be...
And the Winner is…You (if You Choose to Let it Be)

I was on set yesterday shooting a commercial with two actors from Los Angeles. While the makeup artist and I were getting them ready for the shoot, we spent the better part of the morning talking about the Oscars. One of the actors has been dating someone for quite some time that went to film school over twenty years ago with three of this year’s Oscar nominees and winners. I asked what came of her boyfriend’s film school education.
She said he chose a quicker and more predictable route to financial stability and opened a restaurant. His plan was to manage the restaurant while trying to get...
Strike the Perfect Balance Between Forever 21 and Soccer Mom
Posted by Kami Gray in Anti-aging, Style & Beauty on Mar 7th, 2010
Succumb:
1. To submit to an overpowering force or yield to an overwhelming desire; give up or give in.
2. To die.
I have little interest in dressing like my 20 year-old daughter, but I’m not about to dress age-appropriately either and succumb to looking like your average soccer mom. Nothing against soccer moms — I used to be a soccer mom. (click here for rant-filled post on the subject.) We have options gals — plenty actually! I’ve assembled three outfits that guarantee to keep them guessing. Since it’s Spring (darn near), I’ve gone with a more feminine and...
12 Affordable Anti-Aging Drugstore Products
Posted by Kami Gray in Anti-aging, Style & Beauty on Mar 4th, 2010
Yesterday on AM Northwest in Portland, Oregon, I shared 12 affordable products I use to stay looking as youthful as possible that can all be purchased at your average drugstore. The total purchase price for all these products combined came to $128! By comparison, Nordstrom.com carries 181 moisturizers that sell between $100-$200 each!
TO WHITEN TEETH because nothing shows the signing of aging like gray or yellow teeth, get
Crest 3D White Whitestrips Enamel Safe Whitening Kit, $29.99.
Getting your teeth whitened at the dentist costs between $200-500. It works great, but for less than thirty bucks,...
Simple Spring Sundresses for a Song
Posted by Kami Gray in Style & Beauty on Mar 3rd, 2010
I just bought my favorite (non-stinky) self tanner and an exfoliating sponge and I’m so ready to get my legs in tip-top shape for sundresses. As my friend Katy Kippen of Grayling Jewelry says, “sundresses make you smile.” I’ve got a few weeks (crossing my fingers big-time here!) before I can wear such an item, but maybe where you are, things are a little warmer and brighter. I will have to be patient and wait, but I will be more than ready when the sun comes out to play!
Oh, by the way! The eight dresses above are all under fifty bucks! The yummy yellow dress with the fabulous...
80s Style Boyfriend Blazer & Pencil Skirt — Love it or Gag You With a Spoon?
Posted by Kami Gray in Style & Beauty on Mar 1st, 2010
I put the outfits shown here together based on the Boyfriend Blazer craze that’s sweeping the nation. It’s everywhere, but I have yet to go there myself. I shopped with one of my personal styling clients yesterday and found her an Ella Moss Knit “Boyfriend” Blazer at Nordstrom and I gotta say — it went with everything and looked fantastic on her. And super versatile! Like totally. (Sadly, I still use the word “totally” even though I’m well aware how much it dumbs me down.) Whatever!
But what DO we think of this blazer/pencil skirt combination that is so...
Step into Spring with Style and Ease
Posted by Kami Gray in Style & Beauty on Feb 27th, 2010
I am so ready to ditch the skinny jeans tucked into my ultra practical flat suede boots, the multiple layers, and my black puffy down jacket. Sure, I have a few things to do first — like get a pedicure and some self-tanner! My legs are looking a bit scary from being able to hide under jeans, leggings, and tights (thankfully I didn’t slip on any ice or giant puddles over the winter and break my ankle, leading to a trip to the ER where the state of my legs would be shamefully exposed). I’m putting all that behind me and pulling out the dresses, skirts, and open-toed shoes. Hooray for...
