1

Fashion mags: Which kinds do you read?

↓ ↓
- I actually opt to get fashion ideas from my favorite store catalogs and websites -- once I find a brand I like, I stick to it.
- Unless a magazine slips in some style pages between new recipes and home-organizing tips, I can go months without knowing what's hot.
- The question is more, which don't I read? I even check style blogs and celebrity gossip sites to get new ideas.
- I don't read fashion magazines. They just make me feel bad about myself.
2

Which celebrities' style do you find inspiring?

↓ ↓
- Um, everyday mom here. No way can you put me next to a celebrity.
- Flashy, fun fashionistas like Sarah Jessica Parker or Heidi Klum.
- Rosie O'Donnell
- Polished, preppy types like Marcia Cross -- her character on Desperate Housewives and real life -- or Jennifer Aniston
3

Taking time for a manicure -- either professional or DIY -- is more than just a luxury. It also helps keep your nails and hands healthy and looking their best. How often do you treat yourself?

↓ ↓

4

When's the last time you really loved your look?

↓ ↓
- My wedding day
- Generally, I'm pretty happy with how I pull myself together but I have to say I felt really great wearing my favorite little black dress to a special dinner last month.
- At a wedding I attended a few months ago -- I took some time on my makeup and dressed to impress. I felt like a different person
- Everyone has off days but, honestly, this morning I couldn't help but do a double-take -- I look good.
5

6

How often do you shop to update your wardrobe?

↓ ↓
- I don't know, maybe twice a year?

- Invest in the color, not the style, with a gorgeous yet affordable purple scarf that will endure long after the sweater is out of style
- Sigh as I shrug on my hooded sweatshirt yet again. Such things aren't for mere mortals.

Think about your shoe collection: What are your favorites?
