10 Little Ways to Save Money Every Month
We are all in the spirit of spring cleaning, managing out-of-date wardrobes, finally scrubbing that mildew in the shower, and accomplishing the overall seasonal rites of sanitation. But what most people forget to tackle is office space- and a clean office space is a happy office space. We offer tricks of the trade that will re-energize your modus operandi from 9 to 5.
1. De-clutter
Before you start the revitalization, get rid of all the clutter that has littered your office space. Old papers, files, and supplies should be thrown away or recycled. This feat may take some time, but afterwards you'll already feel the energy sweeping through the room.
2. Organize
Purchase products like magazine racks, shelves, and desk organizers that will keep your supplies and resources in order and close-at-hand. We love the File File, $24.95, at CB2.com (pictured above).
3. Feng Shui
How could we not include the ancient Chinese theory of interior aesthetics?

Cell phone applications have grown extremely popular in recent years, which makes sense -- after all, everyone you see on the street (starting as early as age 7...) has a cell phone glued to their hands at all times. When you're sitting in a waiting room, on the subway, or even crossing the street, these applications can provide ample entertainment to help us pass the time.
Some of these apps can also be quite handy -- there are applications that rate products and prices to help you find the best deals, help you to try out new hair colors, or even show you how you'll look after a plastic surgery procedure. Below we list our 8 favorite beauty applications to download now.

In the midst of a terrible snow storm, we've decided to compile a list of our top 8 picks for spring shoes -- all under $100. Call it wishful thinking, or call it a love of anything shoe-related, but we felt the need to remind ourselves that spring is just around the corner. So stay warm and spend your snowed-in days dreaming of which shoes you'll be wearing for all those picnics and walks in the park that are hopefully in your near future.

Now that most airlines charge for checked bags, air travel has become more of a hassle than ever. With the restrictions on liquids (all have to be 3 fl. oz or less) it becomes a tough decision for girls who are beauty junkies to choose between giving up their products for a week, or paying to ship their bag through.
Two girls who have struggled with this very same decision (and traveled for work frequently), Kate Duff and Alexi Mintz, just launched a new site called 3floz.com which sells quality and luxury beauty products that are all travel-sized. Carrying brands like Ahava, Avalon Organics, Dr. Hauschka, Yes To Carrots, and Malin + Goetz -- just to name a few -- we'll now be able to keep up ourbeauty routine while jetting around.

New York Fashion Week Coverage 2010!
Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were recently praised for their pale, vampire-like complexions, with experts saying that the new craze could help lower skin cancer rates among teens. The newly announced couple are credited with giving fans of their movies the desire to no longer run for the tanning beds during the winter months, but rather relish in their pale complexions.
However, it's not just Twilight fans that will be saving their skin from premature aging and wrinkling; we noticed the vampire-goth trend taking over the Fall/Winter runways, too -- which means plenty of fashionistas will be hopping on the pale train in no time. Below, our favorite looks of the season.

You get a phone call from one of your closest friends gushing about her new boyfriend. She has just been swept off her feet and is dying for the two of you to meet one another. The day finally arrives when you are to meet this mystery man, but instead of finding yourself face to face with Prince Charming, you discover that your best friend is dating a complete jerk.
We've all been there -- or at least we know Lauren Conrad has. If there is anything we can learn from watching all those Hills reruns, it's that when your best friend is dating a zero, you need to take action. As her best friend, it is your duty to prevent her from becoming another Heidi Montag of the world. While there is nothing you can do to make your friend break up with her Spencer Pratt-type boyfriend, you can let her know how you feel. Here are some tips for the Lauren Conrads of the world to prevent their Heidi from turning into a Speidi:

As each new Fashion Week approaches, we've come to expect brilliance from a certain set of designers who've been around for awhile and give us beautiful jaw dropping looks season after season: Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Oscar de la Renta...you know -- the household names. But while each of these designers comes with their own consistent, yet beautiful connotations -- Calvin for his minimalism, Diane for her prints and wrap dresses, and Oscar for his richness in color and Park Avenue-worthy ensembles -- we do crave a bit of the unexpected from time to time. Enter the new class of innovators who are changing the way we think about how we get dressed every morning. They may not be a Ralph or a Marc just yet, but these 10 are well on their way.More From StyleCaster:

New York Fashion Week Coverage 2010!
The fastest way to look trashy is to have smudged makeup -- namely, smeared lipstick. Granted, there are a few other ways to look like you're "the fast girl mothers warn sons about," but you get the point... You'll get some stares and sideways glances if you try a bold lip and it's already wearing off your face mid-party. To avoid ending up in said situation, makeup artist Raedawn Johnson of Julie Hewett Los Angeles shows us how to look on point with this spring's bold lip color trends.
Step 1 (above):
Take the broad side of your lip liner applicator and fill in the entire lip while staying inside your natural lip line. This is important because if your lipstick fades (after you eat or drink), you'll have another coat of color underneath and it won't look like any rubbed off. Here, Raedawn uses Julie Hewett Lip Liner in Oona Noir.
