This broken mirror clutch by Celestina is wearable art.

Plus, you can check out your chest without anyone noticing…

Wearing.

This mirror envelop clutch by Ted Rossi is so simple, and so on sale…

Hating.

A blatant, boring knock-off of the Celestina mirror clutch. CC Skye’s broken mirror clutch is half the price, and looks it…

Wanting.

I love the idea of a mirrored vanity doubling as a desk for a shoebox apartment. Even better is a vanity that hides in a matte black box of an armoire. Click through to see how this Flou vanity becomes a secret…

Buying.

This ’60s nickel vanity desk is in perfect condition, and its mirror metal lights up space, without the cheese of actual mirrored surfaces. Really, the one across my bed is enough…

Hating.

When and why did Hollywood regency go vogue? A curvy, cutesy mirrored vanity in the style. Matching 2.5 kids, poodle skirt, and bored husband not included…

Wanting.

Indie clinical studies claim Nude Skincare Age Defence Moisturiser “reduces the appearance of wrinkles by an average of 63%.”

Personal studies have shown a 100% success rate with needles in 90210, but I’m curious to try an organic anti-aging moisturizer…

Using.

Nude Skincare Cleansing Facial Oil uses Omega 3 and Vitamin E to get even my three coats of waterproof, drugstore mascara off.

The cleanser is so pure that you might have to plug your nose at that Crisco smell, though…

Hating.

In a three-month study, Nude Skincare Smoothing Body Refiner “demonstrated a reduction of up to three quarters of an inch.” And reviewers on Sephora.com swear their jeans fit better.

Husbands, however, didn’t notice — they’re too busy tagging the secretary.

Spend $70 on a gym membership instead…

Wanting.

Shimmery silver, matte gray, satin black equals yawn. Skip the predictable “dark shades for fall” VOGUEism, and give yourself gorgeous mannequin hands with a nice nude polish.

The trick is, of course, to find a shade that perfectly blends into your skin…

Wearing.

A good manicure will make people say you have beautiful hands, not wonder what shade of polish you’re wearing.

I’ve been visiting Ripsy’s Nails in Beverly Hills. Ripsy turned me onto the Trind nail system, which promises you perfect nude nails, sans any polish…

Hating.

$65 is ridick for nail polish, even if, according to Barneys.com, the shade is “pure and heavenly… simply an extension of perfection with a Natural finish.”

Take it from a chick who spends $200 on a mani/pedi — save your dough…

Wanting.

Nude suede peeptoes drowning in Swarovski crystals are so obvious, old school glam, like Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday” dress.

Shimmering sex that’s both under- and overstated: just how your New Year should be rung in…

Wearing.

3½” heels are a ½” too short, but that carved resin heel is too gorgeous. Such a simple nude shoe, set off by a mosaic stiletto is genius.

Like lingerie for your feet, Giuseppe Zanotti nude shoes are better than naked…

Hating.

Giuseppe Zanotti is one of the few brands I’m a whore for: Giuseppe makes shoes that are quirky, over-the-top sex.

Which means Giuseppe sometimes designs nude shoes like these.

Thank god they’re out of stock — there’s already enough ugly in the world…

Wanting.

Perfect for that white dress that’s not sheer enough for a slip, but not thick enough to just tease –

This La Perla naked thong’ll turn that skirt into a silhouette of legs…

Wearing.

A nude panty is sexy: it’s like going commando, sans sloppiness.

I love how this Marlies Dekkers thong looks like it’s framing your skin…

Hating.

I didn’t get Cosabella, and I don’t get Hanky Panky. Both of these lines vibe both cheap and overpriced…

Wanting.

Blowing dough on Chanel nail polish is a stupid spend.

Buy perfect skin first.

Make Up For Ever powder foundation is on my shopping list: 11 shades of buildable, oil-free coverage. If it’s as good as their concealer I just bought, it’s good…

Wearing.

This Make Up For Ever concealer comes in 10 shades so it provides invisible coverage. Even better, it’s oil-free, clinically tested for gentle skin, and sex-proof.

I mean sweat-proof.

Click over, Make Up For Ever concealer is only at Sephora, and the best I’ve ever had…

Hating.

Unless you’re a make-up artist, if you need five shades of concealer, you need to a see a dermatologist.

Your under-eye circles are that bad? Skip mixing Make Up For Ever concealers, invest in some needles in 90210…

Wanting.

This Carl Mertens fireplace is how a woman should be: a primitive attraction stylized in the most controlled, urbane way.

Floating glass sandwiches stainless steel; this Carl Mertens table top fireplace burns up to four hours, depending on your size of flame…

Using.

This Carl Mertens table top fireplace is sexier than any candle.

Radiating heat as well as light, the oil-burning, stainless-steel logs come set atop a slate plate…

Hating.

A sleek cylinder of stainless steel, the perfect marriage of form and function, the only reason I’m hating this Carl Mertens lighter is because I didn’t know about it before I blew $100 on a Porsche Design lighter.

This Carl Mertens lighter is idealization, with a realistic price: $26…
