Pucker up … it’s time for an orange crush
- A model wears orange lipstick at the Dries Van Noten’s fall 2009 show. At right are MAC offerings.
As I’ve said before, I’m loving pink lipstick these days. But with warm days finally here, I’m looking forward to changing things up a bit and reaching for orange lipstick. Not clown orange. Something softer or maybe a little sheer.
So an item about orange lipstick from Fashion Week Daily got my attention. FWD is crushing orange, too. Whether you choose coral shades or a true tangerine, there are plenty of shades available. FWD suggested MAC lipstick in Vegas Volt, Meltdown and So Chaud.
See you at the MAC counter.

Leave your handbag at home and reach for a SPIbelt
SPIbelt, a small personal item to hold keys, cell phone, money, etc.
Fanny packs may be practical, but they lost their cool factor a long time ago. If they ever had it. Here’s the newest reincarnation — the SPIbelt. It stands for small personal belt and is designed to hold IDs, cell phones, keys, money, credit cards or other must-haves for those times when you don’t want to be weighted down by a purse.
According to a recent market research survey, 95 percent of American women carry a handbag. A May 2009 Woman’s Day article reported that the average handbag “weighs 3.4 pounds and contains 67 items.” Most of these contents get tossed into the bag and don’t make it out until the weight of the bags starts to cause neck strain or aching shoulders.
SPIbelt is sleek, expandable and secure. It retails for $19.95.
“SPIbelt was born of a need for a place to stow my keys while I embarked on my daily jog. Its original intent was one of functionality,” said Kim Overton, SPIbrand founder and SPIbelt creator.
“As I grew accustomed to that hands-free freedom, however, I yearned for it more and more. Suddenly, carrying around a bulky handbag wasn’t so appealing. That’s when I decided to give my functional creation a fashionable edge that would take it straight from the gym to the dining room and on to the dance floor. Now I never have to worry about someone stealing my purse. I can just get up, go and enjoy myself … and know I look good doing it.”
