"Where Can I Find..."
date: May 2006
by: Nicole Logan; Meredith Desmond
You saw it and wanted to know more. Now here's the scoop...
I love Sandra Bullock's March cover dress. Can I find one like it?
-Alexis Gazak, Fort Worth, Texas
The star shines in a jeweled Alberta Ferretti dress with plunging neckline that's no longer in stores. But you can dazzle in this figure-flattering sequin silk cocktail dress (right) with silk chiffon sash by BCBG ($440; bcbg.com for select stores).
Tracee Ellis Ross has great taste I crave the cute tea set I saw on your pages.
-Trina Dailey, Los Angeles
The red-and-white polka-dot china seen in our February story on the actress is truly one of a kind it's vintage. A spot-on alternative is this porcelain teapot ($35) and cup-and-saucer set ($40/4), rimmed with 14kt gold, by Seattle designer Rosanna (rosannainc.com).
Tell me about those new skates I've seen celebrities using?
-Ann Murray, Columbus, Ohio
When the weather gets nice, it's time to go blading. A good pair of in-line skates (like the Land Rollers Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott use) have large, angled wheels for coasting over different surfaces even broken pavement or cracks while protecting ankles from turning in ($270; landroller.com).
I'm over gray eye shadow. What's a new color to try?
-Ashley Clark, New York City
For a bold look, try Max Factor Max Eyes Exotics Collection in Serengeti (left, $5; at drugstores), or go metallic with Shu Uemura's ME Blue No. 638 (center, $20; shuuemura-usa.com). For more subtle color, try Rosie Jane Eye Hints in Ellen Pompeo's choice, Hint of Lavender (right, $20; rosiejanecosmet-ics.com).
Can you suggest some sweet treats to give as a gift?
-Hanna Piersen, San Francisco
Chocolate is always good, but be inventive: Calista Flockhart gave Harrison Ford chocolate-covered caramels with sea salt from Fran's Chocolates (from left: dark with gray salt, milk with smoked salt, and hazelnut-filled, far right; $22/15 pieces; franschocolates.com). Also try Sea Salt caramels (second from right, Little Flower Candy Co., $26/lb.; littleflowercandyco.com).
Joy Bryant's dress in the Look is so chic!
-Laura Bassett, Scottsdale, Ariz.
Bryant's sleek Calvin Klein Collection number is no longer in stores, but for a similar, figure-friendly style, slip into this Graham & Spencer silk jersey dress ($320; shopbop.com).
