“pur~lisse, translated from the French words for pure, “pur” and smooth, “lisse,” creates an innovative skincare system with a unique approach to age-prevention marriyng time-tested ancient Chinese beauty wisdom with the latest advances in French dermatological technology.”
If it’s good enough for a Power Ranger….
This haute skin care line was developed by actress Jennifer Yen, after suffering with sensitive skin made worse by stage makeup and long hours on-set. It’s based on pure ancient Chinese herbs combined with the modern science, and is free of parabens, petrochemicals & propylene glycol. Finally, a line that is natural and luxurious at the same time it delivers amazing results!

With 10% Malic Acid and 10% Mandelic Acid, this lotion is miraculous at treating old acne scars, uneven skin tone, age/sun spots, and at shrinking the appearance of pores.
It’s sticky, but the extra few minutes it takes to sink in are more than worth it… I like it more (and it’s less expensive, with no trip to the Derm’s office) than Retin-A! (Check in with the Derm/OB if you are pregnant or nursing, though!)

DeNai Jones
As Chic and Fasionable as her collection, Entrepreneurial, and one seriously creative Hautemomma!
Petunia Pickle Bottom
www.petuniapicklebottom.com
Uber-Creative Hautemomma, DeNai Jones was a nursery school teacher who saw a void in the market for a chic and functional diaper bag…with the help of her husband and long-time friend, Korie Conant, together they filled that niche perfectly with Petunia Pickle Bottom! (If you’re wondering, Petunia Pickle Bottom reflects a term coined by DeNai’s father when she was a toddler.)
Continuously redefining the baby product market place, Petunia Pickle Bottom’s darling collections include six distinct styles of diaper bags: Shoulder Bags, Boxy Backpacks, Touring Totes, the Cake collection, Scout (perfect for Daddy), Cross Town Clutch and Cameo Clutch. New to the line are the precious Fawn collection including Bassinets and Crib Bedding.
She has a son, Sutton, and is pregnant with her second! We were fortunate enough to catch up with DeNai, listen to her awesome start-up story, and find out what she considers Haute!

Entertaining expert and ultra-stylish Colin Cowie has been busy!
He has a new line of table and barware (like this elegant martini set) available via HSN and has written a new book, Colin Cowie Chic, which Town & Country magazine calls “an up-to-the-minute manual for living your dream.”
He’s pretty cute, too.
