Little Red Riding Hood didn’t know how good she had it. Sure, the Big Bad Wolf was a pain, and those bugs were probably a major turn-off. But all those grandma-bound excursions weren’t entirely lacking in charm. First, the red cape was a huge fashion statement. But more important, the forest itself was a lush and mysterious source of inspiration—one that designers are eagerly embracing this autumn.

The Brothers Grimm and other fairy tale spinners were onto something, setting their stories in the Enchanted Forest. They understood the irresistible call of Mother Nature and the lure of the wild woods. This fall, Dolce & Gabbana is leading a brigade of designers into the depths of the wilderness, making the forest their fashion landscape. Both flowers and fauna dominated the runways, with images of tree branches, leaves and blossoms competing with a precious array of wildlife including owls, squirrels, butterflies and foxes. Dresses, coats and separates are appearing in warm, earthy colors, enlivened with lacy textures, fur accents and charming prints that evoke the spirit of the forest.

Keep in mind that the women who wear this season’s enchanted looks are no damsels in distress. Instead, they are true earth mamas, saucy seductresses, fashion goddesses in the purest sense. The Big Bad Wolf wouldn’t stand a chance.

Recently, I needed to say goodbye to someone special and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. This person wasn’t making me as much of a priority as I was making them. Their actions were not as loving as the words coming from their mouth. I gave this person several chances to treat me better, but they didn’t. So it was becoming more painful to have them in my life than to release them.

So I let go. … //READ MORE

Sure, you’re a woman of substance. You appreciate all the amazing experiences you’ve gained through the years and know you’ve earned each fine line that may have already showed up on your gorgeous face. You also realize that those tiny imperfections make you the beautifully complex individual you are today.

Blah, blah, blah. Even the most intellectually evolved female would be lying if she said she didn’t occasionally long for the fresh-faced glow of her teens and 20s. Even the most emotionally mature among us would be fibbing if she claimed to enjoy waking up with dull skin after partying a little too hard—or staying up with an infant—the night before.

Don’t worry, we’re not suggesting an appointment with a plastic surgeon. But what if we told you all it took was five minutes of simple makeup application to turn back the clock at least five years? That’s right, sister, what you need to look that much younger is right there in your cosmetics bag, so read up. … //READ MORE

Tell me. Would you stay with a lying, cheating husband? Would you live with a man who uproots you from the big city to a small Midwestern town, uses your inheritance to fund his business, then considers trading you in for a younger, sexier woman? Would you manipulate a pregnancy with this guy, then pretend to the world that the two of you have the perfect life, the perfect romance, the perfect relationship?

You would if you were Amy Dunne, the twisted wife who goes missing in the new David Fincher movie Gone Girl, based on the bestseller by Gillian Flynn. But wait, you wouldn’t let him off the hook so easy. Not right away. First, you’d plan an elaborate revenge that involves faking your own death and turning your husband into the most hated man in America. But in the end, because you are so twisted, you’d have a change of heart and find a way to keep him by your side, on your terms, for better or worse. … //READ MORE
