LEG RELIEF

Summer seems to be the time when just walking around outside can leave your legs and feet feeling tired and swollen. Ren’s Revivo-Tonic Cool Comfort Leg & Foot Gel is a great product to tuck into your handbag or luggage when you plan to do a lot of walking. This cooling gel can help reduce the discomfort of heavy, swollen and painful legs and even helps improve the appearance of orange peel or rough skin. The gel contains a blend of five essential oils that help decongest the fluid under the skin. Your legs will feel better in no time.

Original Style

If you aren’t yet familiar with vintage, think of it as your safe little fashion haven. It’s the place you will turn when all things modern have bored the originality out of you. It will become your go-to reference when you need a custom-made fit without the custom-made price tag. It will lend instant credibility to your wardrobe.

If the Shoe Fits

On a Thursday night, Taryn Rose at the Forum Shops at Caesars closed its doors to host a private party introducing its new fall collection to top customers. Models walked the shoe store known for comfortable fits and designed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Taryn Rose. Here’s a look at some of the styles you can expect to be wearing this fall.

FACELIFT IN 2 JARS

Some things just belong together: chocolate and peanut butter, strawberries and cream and these two masks. When paired together, the Natura Bisse Oxygen Finishing Mask and Chantecaille Biodynamic Lifting Mask seem to work better. Start with the Oxygen Finishing Mask to revitalize your skin. Hydrogen peroxide derivatives clarify, purify and decongest skin. Then immediately top that with the Biodynamic Lifting Mask to give yourself a quick lift. An anti-wrinkle hexapeptide smoothes skin while red algae soothes. Afterward, you feel like you had a facelift. Natura Bisse Oxygen Finishing Mask, $33, and Chantecaille Biodynamic Lifting Mask, $145, both available at Neiman Marcus at Fashion Show mall

It’s Good To Be the King

Mitchell Binder walks into Mojitos at Wynn Las Vegas looking like he owns two things: the room and a lot of expensive jewelry. As designer and owner of King Baby Studio, the company responsible for producing King Baby and Queen Baby jewelry lines, his loud presence makes perfect sense.

Summerproof Makeup

When Jake Bailey struck out on his own at age 18 to become a makeup artist, he turned to the cosmetics line that he determined was the best bang for his buck — Max Factor. And as he grew more successful, he opted to stick with the makeup line that got its start in the early 1900s when the namesake created a theatrical cosmetic that wouldn’t crack on actors’ faces.

The Sandalman

But if you’d like to stand out from the crowd, you may want to consider a few pairs guaranteed to lend your feet the spotlight. Here are three different styles sure to upstage any sandal out there.

Political speech

With the national press and legal scholars justifiably fixated on the Supreme Court’s landmark Second Amendment decision, few parties paid proper attention to a second Thursday ruling that bolstered the Bill of Rights. In the case of Davis v. Federal Election Commission, justices struck another blow to the incumbent-protection racket known as McCain-Feingold, correctly siding with First Amendment free speech protections.

It means what it says

It was a narrow decision. Nonetheless, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday properly struck down part of a local handgun ban in the District of Columbia, ruling that Americans have a right to keep a gun at home for self-defense.
