Cute Kmart Clothing?! Take 'Route 66' And See

Kmart for cute clothing?

We kid you not. Sometimes, a popular department store can carry a couple of knock-out, trendy pieces you can add to your more expensive wardrobe.

Look at model/actress and Sports Illustrated beauty Brooklyn Decker. She just told one fashion mag that she often shops in cheaper stores like Target, where she can score a great item for much less. Brooklyn was talking about a classic trench coat she found at Target and it was a super buy.

Now, let's examine this really cute top from Kmart's Route 66 line. Only $19.99 in stores.

Lace is so in this season. And this romantic, delicate top by Route 66 features a scoop neck, elbow length, bat wing sleeves with a sexy cinched waist and crochet along the border. The material is made of a polyester blend, and it's machine washable. Color is white and of a semi-sheer fabric and comes in sizes S, M, L, and XL.

The top looks good to us. But then again....maybe it only looks great because the model is seductively holding her arms up in the photo to show the big bat wing sleeves. The lesson here....always try on before buying.

Can't Afford January's And Eva's Big Dior Libertine Bag? Then Buy A Fab Fake

Spring and a brand new handbag. The two go arm-in-arm. And just because we still have big snow mounds around our neighborhood, and the thaw has been put on hold for a while, it's nice to look forward to warmer, sunny days.

Then, let's get in the mood! Both January Jones and Eva Mendes can't get enough of their beautiful soft lambskin leather hobo Dior 'Libertine' bags. The sexy actresses have each been photographed with this plush 'arm candy,' time and time again.

And we can understand why. These Dior 'Libertines' are nice and big at 13"H x 14"W x 4"D. Both actresses are carrying the Libertine in sweet Petal Pink. And there's the key-----such a lovely, fresh shade for spring.

So, you can't afford January's and Eva's big, blush-beauty Dior bag at $2,300?! Well, neither can we these days. But you CAN buy a fab fake. And we hunted one down at Macy's.

This fab fake is designed by Marc Fisher. It's called the Knot Nice bag ($88, at Macy's). We love this soft, glazed faux leather bag at 13"H x 16"W x 2"D. And we adore the price----a steal! It, too, comes in a blush pink color. And should be arriving at Macy's soon. Check out our photo. Not the best pic, but you get the idea and can see the beautiful knotting and folds.

We can't wait for spring to re-awaken our wardrobe, even if we can't get the Dior this time around.

Too Lazy To Work Out Like Gwyneth? Try This Belly Fat Pill

Remember the song Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young?..... "I wanna live with a cinnamon girl I could be happy the rest of my life With a cinnamon girl."

Well, maybe you could be a cinnamon girl and be lazy, and still walk away with a flat tummy like Gwyneth Paltrow, whom we just wrote about in our previous March 2nd article.

Here are the simple and astonishing facts on cinnamon:

1. This common baking spice CAN lower blood pressure AND reduce blood sugar levels.

2. The aromatic spice also creates an automatic appetite control. You will naturally want LESS food.

A new British university study has found that women taking cinnamon supplements lose 500% more weight AND 300% more belly fat! And the most amazing thing about it-------you don't have to change your diet! And you can lose up to 10 lbs. a week!

Let's look at this new cinnamon belly fat pill:

The British study was conducted at Thames Valley University. Those participating, took Four 500-mg. cinnamon supplements a day-----1 with breakfast, 2 with lunch, and 1 with dinner. And for those of you preferring your cinnamon from your kitchen spice rack.....that's the equivalent of four 1/4 tsp. doses of the spice.

The research supervisor, Nicola Robinson, who has a Ph.D., says the study found that participants lost 500% more weight and melted away 300% more belly flab than the people who were getting the placebos. Plus----their blood sugar and blood pressure improved---"even though they reported no change in their diet," Nicola Robinson says. "We were quite surprised and encouraged."

More research is needed, she states, but the good news is this: "If you have excess fat around your middle, cinnamon is certainly worth trying," says Dr. Nicola Robinson.

By the way, cinnamon supplements are safe and drugstore cheap, but experts warn that since these pills can dramatically affect blood sugar, do NOT take more than 1,000 mg. at one time. And the diet plan we have outlined above, follows those guidelines.

People with diabetes or blood sugar problems MUST talk with their doctor before taking cinnamon supplements.

Anyone out there, dying to be a cinnamon girl?!
