BRUSH IT TO ME

The right brushes can help create extraordinary works of art. Remember Michelangelo and Monet? The same can be said for makeup brushes; they're the most important tools in your makeup arsenal. Adesign brushes were created by professional makeup artist Shana King. They're crafted from synthetic and natural hair, they're sturdy, they don't shed, and they're so insanely soft they whisper across your skin. Adesign carries a full line of cosmetic brushes, bags and sets at adesignbrushes.com. The travel brush set pictured sells for $45.

BYE-BYE BOOTY SHOTS
Don't you just hate when you bend over and your jeans gap in the back showing everyone your business? No matter your size, it happens at one point or another. The IsABelt is a Band-Aid for the dreaded "butt gap." This thin, adjustable, clear belt virtually disappears when it's worn. It also prevents slippage and belt bulge under your shirt. And it stops the annoying need to pull up your pants every 5 minutes. IsABelt retails for $16.95 at isabelt.com. Oh, and there's a HisABelt, too.

STYLISH READING

You may not be able to afford those Manolo Blahnik alligator boots, but you can still indulge your favorite fashionista - even if it's you - with some stylish reading. "Style File: The World's Most Elegantly Dressed" by Ike Ude (Collins Design; $65) profiles 55 of the world's most influential style arbiters, including designers Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Zac Posen and Diane von Furstenberg. The pages feature portraits of the subjects and their answers to amusing, and often revealing, questions. It'll make a smart addition to any well-dressed coffee table.
