South Jersey Beauty & Fashion

• Weddings That Wow 2007
…From the pages of South Jersey Magazine…
A lot has changed in the marriage realm during the last century—and not just in such broad and obvious ways as the allowance of same-sex civil unions or the dramatic increase in the frequency of divorce. No. Many smaller, less flashy characteristics have been altered, mutated, or left behind when it comes to the nuptial universe. Take, for example, “The Macarena.” It was once a reception DJ staple and then gone faster than you could say, “Livin’ la vida loca!” The same can be said for poofey, art deco bridesmaid gowns, pale-blue tuxedos, and the entire dowry system (well, in most circles, anyway).

• An Editor in the Land of Pamper
…From the pages of South Jersey Magazine…
Escapism is a very good thing, indeed…
Somewhere between juggling my two kids under the age of three, Christmas and New Years in a new home, the actual moving into a new home, and balancing my professional and personal schedules, it dawned on me. It was an epiphany in true Calgon-esque fashion. I wanted someone to take me away. (No, not that weirdo that keeps sending me emails.) I mean, I needed to be transported. I needed to be beamed up to some yet unnamed planet (for the sake of this article, let’s call it “planet pamper”).

• Foray Into Fur
…From the pages of South Jersey Magazine…
It seems as though people have developed a thick skin--or perhaps they’re just keen on donning the skins of others. Fur--whether it is pink, marshmallow white, deep chocolate, jade green or fire engine red--is sprouting up everywhere. We see it on just about every article of clothing this winter: hats, scarves, shawls, gloves, ponchos, belts--it’s even on handbags! Why the sudden fancy for fur?

• Fitness Fashion Fest
…From the pages of South Jersey Magazine…
Who can resist a return to their youth by biking along the Jersey shore? What about a simple jog around the block of your own neighborhood? Remember camping as a child? How about sailing school on the Cooper River? There is also golfing, a sport where the combination of being outside and negotiating that business merger adds to its powerful draw. But the real question remains: What to wear?

• Masai Barefoot Technology
…From the pages of South Jersey Magazine…
In this season’s sea of stiletto-heeled, metallic-jeweled shoes, it’s a bit unusual that the must-have in footwear (according to the Today Show, Oprah and other television circuits) is a puffy orthopedic-looking sneaker from Switzerland.

• Get Real!
Miss America might get real. The Press of Atlantic City reports pageant officials have signed a deal with the William Morris Agency to shop a reality concept around. One idea on the table would turn the competition into a multipart "American Idol" type show.
