			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 4px 0px 0px" title="Acca Kappa" height="293" alt="Acca Kappa" src="http://lastheplace.com/images/article-images/1NEW2007WRITERS/KatieB/Acca_Kappa/acca_kappa.jpg" width="220" align="left" />Sometimes the best in quality, clean simple design and natural materials doesn&#8217;t come easily &#8211; it could just be a plane ride away!</p>
<p>Except now you don&#8217;t need to fly to Venice, Italy or Venice, Las Vegas for that matter &#8211; Italian beauty and body care products are well within reach for anyone who has marveled at the bathroom amenities used exclusively by The Four Season Hotels and Resorts worldwide.</p>
<p>Taking founder Herman Krull&#8217;s initials into Latin to form the name Acca Kappa, this family-owned-and-operated business exports all of its merchandise from the original building opened 138 years ago.</p>
<p>The foundation for the company has been a line of exquisite brushes and combs, hand-finished with 100 percent pure boar bristle and bearing the anti-static properties from the use of recycled beech wood. Unvarnished and ensuring most products and their containers are biodegradable or recyclable, these &#8220;soft technology&#8221; concepts have helped make Acca Kappa a king-size hit in opening their first American store in The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.</p>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 4px" title="Acca Kappa Brushes" height="293" alt="Acca Kappa Brushes" src="http://lastheplace.com/images/article-images/1NEW2007WRITERS/KatieB/Acca_Kappa/acca_kappa_3.jpg" width="220" align="right" />With an environmentally conscious perspective on production it was only natural that Acca Kappa would broaden its range to include skin and hair care, spa essentials, bath accessories, professional hair and makeup items, shaving and leather manicure sets along with many smartly-packaged gift boxes for both men and women.</p>
<p>Acca Kappa&#8217;s second U.S. location has a prime position corner shop in the Westfield Mall in Century City, Los Angeles where you can pick up any items from the entire product range including fine perfumes from the White Moss fragrance collection, delicate Japanese mulberry clarifying cream or even select from 18 different scents when purchasing any of their latest in luxurious triple cold-milled vegetable soaps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to admit that for me, Penelope Cruz stole the Oscar spotlight for sheer feminine class, glamor and style. Her pink silk and organza Atelier Versace&nbsp; gown was breathtaking and she pulled off the look with classic makeup, hair in a bun to bring attention to her gorgeous face, and sophisticated Chopard diamonds to finish the stunning, polished look. Coming in a close second was Cate Blanchett in Giorgio Armani Prive&#8217;, the one-shouldered beaded pewter gown that drapped her in soft graceful lines.&nbsp;&nbsp; Cate&#8217;s eyes shone in smokey plums and charcoals, and her face was framed by a waved upsweep that kept your eyes moving from gown to face.&nbsp; So much of the look is knowing what hairstyle works with the particular gown, and then accessorizing with the right makeup and jewels.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#8217;s a complete package &#8211; the hair must complement the gown, not compete with it.&nbsp; The makeup must work with the gown and hair, not overtake the look.&nbsp; Finally, the jewelry must enhance the entire look, not become the focal point.&nbsp; When all elements work together, the audience simply sees the wonderfully beautiful woman.&nbsp; No one object detracts from her beauty or takes your attention away from her.&nbsp; Helen Mirren was queenly in Christian Lacroix, totally befitting her award for best actress.&nbsp; The gown was lovely and feminine, with an old-world charm in the details of the lace bodice.&nbsp; Helen wore her hair in a soft pageboy which gave a sleek, slightly modern edge to complinent the romantic sensibility of the gown.&nbsp; If you compare Cate Blanchett with Helen Mirren, you will see that both used the same technique only opposite to the other.&nbsp;&nbsp; Cate wore a romantic hairstyle to compliment and soften the sleek modern lines of her gown where Helen did the reverse for her overall look.&nbsp; In both cases, the look was perfect.<br />  &nbsp;<br />  All in all, I was very pleased with this year&#8217;s Oscars.&nbsp; No horrible mistakes, no truly embarrassing disasters.&nbsp;&nbsp; This year one could say our Hollywood royalty lived up to Oscar status.&nbsp; Bravo!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oscar buzz!&nbsp; This season the look is all about metallic sparkles, loads of lashes and smokey, defined eyes!&nbsp; With the emphasis on super sexy eyes, the makeup balance is soft, dewy cheeks and glossy, clear lips in pale tones.</p>
<p>The new metallics are exciting and flirty.&nbsp; Gun metal grays, silvers and plumy grays are amazing for almost all eye colors and they&#8217;re especially wonderful on the amber-brown eyes of singer Jessica Simpson and Grey&#8217;s Anatomy&#8217;s Katherine Heigl.&nbsp; Eva Longoria looks incredible in these colors, with pale pink lips and cheeks that put the focus on those eyes!&nbsp; This look is perfect for Courtney Cox and Jennifer Connelly&#8217;s gorgeous steely blues!&nbsp; Look for dazzling eyes, rimmed on the inner bottom lid in black and charcoal kohl liners.&nbsp; White/silver eyeshadow along the outer corner of the eyelid closest to the nose bridge widens the eye and brings added sparkle to the overall look.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a little trick that makes Hollywood&#8217;s best-of-the-best look sexy and innocent all at the same time.&nbsp; On Oscar night, it&#8217;s back to classic, Hollywood glamour.</p>
<p>We should expect to see more long wavy hairstyles either rolled into an upsweep or casually down below the shoulders that perfectly compliments, and romantically softens the slightly edgy, dramatic makeup.&nbsp; Wavy, center parted bangs frame the face, while thin, double-row head bands push back bangs in a classic Grecian style.&nbsp; Either way, the look is stunning.</p>
<p>Jewelry will show up as smaller earrings (the enormous chandeliers of the last few years will be slightly more subdued) but look for big, gorgeous rings, and sexy cuff bracelets.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s female nominees for Best Actress are:&nbsp; Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, and Penelope Cruz.&nbsp; Each star has her own unique style and beauty,&nbsp; but I&#8217;m personally hoping for something cutting edge from Meryl Streep to go along with her role in The Devil Wears Prada!&nbsp; Penelope Cruz will be pure glamour as always, and Kate Winslet&#8217;s soft, romantic beauty will shine.</p>
<p>See you on the Red Carpet! </p>
