Hot Mama Daily reader Sheila is looking for a sexy one piece bathing suit to cover the stretch marks she developed on her stomach after giving birth to her daughter.  ”I am sure that no one wants to see them,” she says (LOL).
Stretch marks are certainly no fun, so I empathize with Shelia’s beach fashion dilemma. Below, check out two hot swimsuits – an asymmetrical black suit and a classic suit in minty teal  – on sale on Gap.com that will conceal Sheila’s tummy and help her get her sexy back.

Back in November 2007, former Hot Mama Daily editor Pascalle wrote a popular post comparing the Solia and Sedu flatirons and readers are still trying to decide which one to buy.  Since I no longer straighten my hair, I’m probably not the best person to weigh in on the battle of the flatirons.  So I thought I’d open up the dialogue to the Hot Mama Daily readership.  
Here’s the latest question from Keith, a good boyfriend who sure knows a lot about hair products and wants to buy the best flatiron for his girlfriend. Can you Hot Mamas help him?  If so, …read more

Laurie asked:  “who is the designer of these shoes that Christina Aguilera is wearing [in this post]?”

Answer: Hey Laurie!  It looks like it could be from Balenciaga. They had released a verrrry similar pair S/S ‘05.  I’m not sure if they re-released a revamped model last year… But my money’s on Balenciaga.

Hope that helps!

What’s this I’m hearing that Garnier discontinued their Soft Curl Creme?  My sharp Hot Mama Daily readers put me on to this heartbreaking news and commenters have said the same on Drugstore.com too (however, at “post time”, Drugstore.com allows you to place the item in your shopping cart.  I’m tempted to buy them all out if I can!)
In my post last September I’d mentioned that I couldn’t find it at the time, but I did eventually find it on a visit home to NYC and can I tell you, I am in love!
WHAT GIVES?!?  Garnier has some ’splainin to do! …read more

Reader Shayna wrote on the Rihanna/American Apparel post below asking if I could find similar earrings to what Rihanna has on in this pic:

I didn’t have much luck but I did something close at none other than Old Navy for $7.50

They’re thinner than Rihanna’s pair, but it’s still the same idea? I guess?
If you don’t care if they’re gold or not but want a very similar pair in shape, Anthropologie has a great pair:

They’re a bit steep in price though: $138.00 USD
Hope that helps!

Faithful reader Yaya wrote asking for a ‘Same Look for Less‘ feature on J. Lo’s (didn’t she ask for people to stop calling her that? Oh well!) platform pumps that she wore to her baby shower recently.
Funny thing was I was going to do a Same Look for Less on the shoes when I was originally writing the post, but nixed the idea thinking that most of my readers look at their monitors like I lost my mind b/c of the height of the heel. Apparently, you gals are more brave than I realized when it comes …read more

I’ve received a few requests on where one can find the gorgeous “Liatris” platform pumps by Nine West that I talked about a few months ago and unfortunately, I’m not having any luck finding them either–and I’ve been looking everyyywhere (even eBay!) The sale price when I found them back in June was pretty great too ($59.99 USD).
Nine West had a few generations of the Liatris pump, but I’m not quite sure why are no longer selling/making the classic red/black model. This style is timeless. I just don’t get why they’re discontinued.

They also had the super …read more

The UPS man came over again. I’m pleased. Very pleased…
No no, get your mind outta the gutter. He made a delivery–er, um.. damn, that sounds bad, too. I meant, he delivered a package–um… *stuttering* I-mean.. Damn. Ok. Let me start over. *Clearing throat*
I received my scarf from The Pashmina Store in the mail yesterday. There. That’s better.
And I must say I’m delighted with my purchase.

This is the 12″x60″ scarf I was telling you all about in a recent Same Look for Less feature I did with Sarah Jessica Parker. It was only …read more

Ah… The UGGs question. Yes, yes, they are UGG-ly (tell me that joke hasn’t been run to the flippin’ ground!) but I think I’m gonna take the plunge soon. I really do.
Hot Mama Daily reader Tbabe wrote a comment yesterday asking the question:
“Hey everyonee…
alright..so, I was thinking of purchaseing the UGGS knockoff from gojane.com..I was just wondering if its worth it?”
Well Tbabe, there’s a few things you need to ask yourself. First off, I don’t have a pair either real or knockoff, so I’m noooo UGG expert (there’s my disclaimer!) so I can’t answer your GoJane question, …read more

…or ‘Gumboots‘ as my dear Hot Mama Daily reader, Rebecca from Australia calls ‘em! Rebecca loved the boots in a post I put up back in May about ‘em.
Rebecca, believe me when I tell you that it simply PAINS me that my FAVORITE U.S. discount retailer, Target (or Tarjé as my friends and I call it) does not deliver outside of the States. And that’s where they sell the ones you wanted–at the PRICE you probably wanted. (They’re adorable and only $19.99 USD!!!) *Le sigh*
But in the meantime, I did my …read more
