		          ORIGINAL CYN  
		         It's not often that we fall in love with a website,
		           but when Cynthia McGrath sent us www.originalcynjewelry.com, which features
		           her adorable and well priced jewelry pieces, we knew we had to share
		           it with you. And as you can see, one of America's most famous mother-daughter
		           duo likes Original Cyn too.

		          DIOR HOMME SHANGHAI  
		         By Timothy Hagy, Paris Editor 
		                
		               Dior Homme continues its global expansion with the opening
		               of a new boutique in Shanghai. Like previous stores in
		               New York, Tokyo, Milan and Paris, the architecture, designed
		               by Hedi Slimane, perpetuates the 
		               spirit of the Dior Homme atelier located at 40 rue François
		               Ier in Paris. Occupying a surface of 150 meters located
		               at Plaza 66, 1266 Nanjing Road West, Shanghai, the space
		               is defined by reflection and break in movement. Crush-effect
		               polished mirror steel walls produce the space's perspective
		               and induce flow. Fitting Rooms, designed by artists Sean
		               Dack and Liam Gillick, create an experience of visual
		               intimacy. Seating takes the form of sonic chairs designed
		               by Hedi Slimane.

		          NOSTALGIA 
		          Sometimes American fashionistas can get
                   nostalgic for the "good old days" when
  we dreamt of cowboy and cowgirl outfits and our very own palomino ponies.

		           OUR FAVORITE MOISTURIZER  
		           Yu-Be (pronounced "YOO-BEE"),
		               the #1 selling medicated, vitamin-enriched skin care cream in
		               Japan is a Glycerin-based moisturizer enriched with Vitamin
		               E, Vitamin B2 and Camphor. Its unique high Glycerin content
		               and absorbability, achieved through a special manufacturing
		               process in Japan, makes Yu-Be effective on severe dry skin and
		               sets it apart from other creams. World-class mountain climber
		               and explorer Sumiyo Tsuzuki uses Yu-Be to protect her skin on
		               expeditions all over the world. Ms. Tsuzuki was the first Japanese
		               woman to reach the summit of Mt. Everest from the more difficult
		               North side (the China/Tibet side). Need we say more?
