CAN YOU BE A FEMINIST & STILL LOVE FASHION?
Can you be a feminist & still love fashion? It’s a complicated question. Or is it? A great outfit & pretty lip gloss seems harmless, but what about a full face of make-up, stilettoes & shapewear?

“UNDERCOVER” SECRETS: WHAT EVERY WOMAN NEEDS TO KNOW!
Spanx is 25 years old! Hard to believe. I remember perfectly—25 years ago I was the fashion columnist for Main Line Life & was invited to Neiman Marcus to meet Sara Blakely.
