Bella Donna: Florence Henderson

BellaSugar — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 10:00:17 PDT

At 76, Florence Henderson is looking pretty amazing, as evidenced by her recent appearances on Dancing With the Stars. Florence, who first got her start in theater in the 1950s, is best known for her role as Carol Brady from The Brady Bunch. But she's also an accomplished singer. (Don't you remember when Carol loses her voice and Cindy gets it back for her by asking Santa Claus?)

And when it comes to beauty, Florence is known for that "hair of gold" flippy shag, which she still wears a variation of today - just not as severe. (For something a little more modern, try a wavy pixie.) As for how she keeps looking so youthful? Perhaps it's because of her training in hypnotherapy, as well as through being a licensed therapist. Flattering makeup doesn't hurt, either. In fact, Florence has even had her own line of cosmetics, Florence Henderson Transformaire, and word has it that she prefers to apply her own makeup. What can't this funny lady do?

Get the Look: Retro, Polynesian Kitsch

Julia Millay Walsh — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 06:00:16 PDT

Secrets From a Stylist star Emily Henderson shared one of her recent room makeovers on her eponymous blog. The clients described themselves as "tiki meets vintage Japanese cowboy meets atomic kitsch" and what she turned out is some variation of that: "retro polynesian kitsch," as she calls it. I think there's a major possibility that this mixture of styles could fail miserably; too many styles in one space can become pretty confusing, so I like how Emily pared it back.

I supplemented the two standouts of the space, the Two's Company Hanging Rattan Chair ($406) and the Florence Broadhurst Japanese Bamboo Wallpaper ($450), with a few more Polynesian, retro, and kitschy finds. Some of my favorites are the Ceramic Tiki Mugs ($24) from Urban Outfitters; if you're going to go kitschy and tiki, it should be in small bits, such as on the tabletop. Another item I particularly like is the Anthropologie Delicate Division Vase ($16); it has a very subtle Polynesian look to it, and I love how it pulls the reds and golds from the room.
