Stainless steel takes a light touch
May 30, 2011
Stainless steel appliances. They’re eye-pleasing, sleek and darned near a cliche these days. But that ubiquity means a lot of people are wrestling with the same problem: how to keep stainless steel clean, ward off scratches and keep a notoriously touchy surface factory-fresh. Deservedly or not, stainless steel has picked up a reputation as something of a dirt magnet. “It is a surface that requ...

The time has come: Clear out the closet
May 18, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) ― Any way you hang it, that strong-shouldered jacket from the 1980s is never going to quite look like the ‘80s-inspired jackets popular now. Same goes for the `70s maxi and slinky disco-style dresses. That means the time has likely come to get rid of them. Think of this as a time to clear your closet ― cleaning and updating in one fell swoop ― by strategically paring down your war...
Beauty under curfew
May 18, 2011
Weddings put on hold as salons close early TUNIS (AFP) ― A flash blow wave but no time for a wash, a quick eyebrow shaping, rushed facials or a hurried massage: anxious women dart in and out of Tunis’ beauty salons before the nightly curfew descends. Used to staying open until 10 pm or 11 pm to doll up clients for parties or late-night weddings, the salons now empty out early as everyone rushes...

May 10, 2011
CAP D’ANTIBES (AP) ― Two days before the Cannes Film Festival opens, the glamour got pumping on the French Riviera at Chanel’s 2011-12 Cruise show ― worthy of a screen siren from Hollywood’s golden age.

Voicemail? That’s so last century
Apr 27, 2011
I‘ve long been an admirer of Greg Mortenson, the author of the phenomenal best-seller “Three Cups of Tea.” The book tells how he began building girls’ schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan after making a pledge to the villagers of Korphe, who had rescued him from a failed attempt to summit the world‘s second-highest peak, K-2. To see his work, I traveled with Greg in 2007 to visit schools he’d bui...

Jeans jettison basic blue hues
Apr 25, 2011
LOS ANGELES ― Jeans for this spring and summer have gone from basic blues and intense indigo to Technicolor versions of playful Crayola shades. It’s all very 1980s a la Esprit or Benetton, but this time there’s nothing junior about colored denim. It’s coming in sleek skinny shapes and cropped lengths that liven up simple T-shirts or button-downs and work well with neutral sandals or flats rather ...
Got prom dibs? Girls use Facebook to claim dress
Apr 20, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) ― Teenage girls largely live in a lookalike culture, wearing the same styles that they got in the same stores as their friends. On prom night, though, the idea is to stand out, making sure no one arrives to the big dance in the same outfit. To ensure their uniqueness ― after they’ve shopped in faraway malls and tapped into store registries ― girls are using social media to claim di...
The Garbage Maven: A toy story of another sort
Apr 20, 2011
Used toys are notoriously difficult to recycle; most end up in trash bins LOS ANGELES ― Americans bought 2.9 billion toys last year. As I stumble through the house after play dates, it sometimes feels as if my 8-year-old son owns all of them. Our living room is exploding with Lego bricks, Nerf weaponry and rubbery bounce balls.
