What I Love This Week: Feminista, Intelligent Nutrients, New Power Girls, American Express Charity G
This has been a week of departures- our beloved Oprah, Paris Hilton’s removal from “It Girl” status, the plus sized Real Housewives of Orange County lady- so I’m happy to write about positive thoughts. Here’s what I’m lovin’ this week.

Read MoreGreat Winter Hats For Under $20
Your winter hat is a huge part of your outwear ensemble—even as much as your winter coat. In fact, a stellar winter hat can add a whole new dimension to an otherwise basic (read: boring) neutral colored winter coat.

Here’s some of my favorite winter hat picks, all for under $20.

There’s many reasons why you might not want to wear a real fur: you’re allergic to animal hair, you’re broke and it’s not a good idea to spend your unemployment check on a floor length fox coat or you’re a member of PETA and the thought of wearing fur gives you the creeps. Ok, we get that and thanks to faux fur there is very little to stress about. Faux furs are warm, animal friendly, and significantly cheaper than say, a real mink coat.
Now, before you go out ...
