WHAT W'S JEWELRY AND ACCESSORIES DIRECTOR, CLAUDIA MATA, IS FANTASIZING ABOUT THIS MONTH.

Jane Larkworthy's red carpet picks; photo by Metzinger MarkoThe one time I "walked the red carpet" was at a launch party for Lady Gaga's Fame perfume (if you believe that's me in the photo below, may I sell you a bridge?), and since no one knew who I was, you could hear crickets chirping rather than cameras clicking. To keep the fantasy alive, however, here are the products I'd apply for the Globes or the Oscars if I were ever invited.

Kinara Weightless Infusion Antioxidant Primer: I use this after I cleanse each morning. It's packed with hydrating niacinamide and antioxidant peptides, makes skin feel post-facial supple, and adds a nice glow. ($80, kinaraspa.com)

Dior Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Makeup Base SPF 25: This primes skin for foundation, and it also gives off "I've slept well for weeks" rosiness. ($50, dior.com)

Lorac Touch-Up to Go: Los Angeles-based makeup artist Carol Shaw's latest creation is genius-its brush-on formula is a concealer and foundation in one. You can dab the brush over flaws a few

For most people I know, going home means catching up with the old gang, seeing the folks, and sleeping in. On a recent trip home to Seattle, however, I made a point of visiting the local headquarters of everyone's favorite skincare gadget Clarisonic. Not only did I get a tour, I also took a spot in the assembly line at the on-site factory (which churns out 15,000 units each day) and made my own Clarisonic Mia.

Each Mia takes three minutes to assemble--if you know what you're doing, that is! Even with the guidance of an army of (very friendly) employees

To say that some of us at W are a little fitness obsessed would be an understatement, and since the New Year there has been much talk around the office about new exercise routines--not to mention our resolve to stick with them. Here, the editors share their fitness finds.

Like most of us at W, I've been counting down the minutes to award season. Last year the jewelry was minimal, so I'm hoping this time around, the starlets amp it up and dazzle up with some major rocks. Click through my personal suggestions for the red carpet.
