"DR MAKES A HOUSE CALL"
Renowned dermatologist Susan Taylor gave complimentary consultations to a host of shoppers at Sephora's Lenox store on May 2, 2008. It was part of a promotion for her skincare line Rx for Brown Skin. The product line includes cleansers, toners and moisturizes that are formulated for different skin conditions including acne and uneven skin tone. Rx for Brown Skin has been featured in Cosmopolitan, Essence, Allure, Elle and WWD Beauty Magazine to name a few. Products start at $18 and are available on line and in store at Sephora. If you were unable to stop by for a consultation, you can always pick up her book "Brown Skin: Dr. Susan Taylor's Prescription for Flawless Skin, Hair and Nails."

LOCAL FASHIONS
When it comes to evening wear, Atlanta is right in line with the latest trends. But when you're talking about casual wear, everyone appears to be doing their own thing. On any given day, you may see ladies dressed in leggings with short denim skirts, skinny jeans, plaid Bermudas, yoga pants, printed tees or large colorful beads that coordinate with tops on women and contrast when worn by young adults. But if you had to find a common thread, khaki pants and denim capris are most popular. Also in style is the color red which is usually fashioned as a handbag, T-shirt, cap or children's jacket. A must-have for Atlanta in addition to getting your hair and nails done is sporting a hot pair of shades. A fashionable look is to sport sunglasses with embellishments at the temples.
