...fashion guru Diana Vreeland once said that elegance is innate. "Codswallop," reply Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine, authors of the new book WHAT NOT TO WEAR (Riverhead). They are hosts of the BBC's reality series of the same name, which shows real women with real bodies how to dress with confidence. "Looking stylish is not about following fashion, losing weight, being rich or succumbing to the knife," they say. The book contains photographs of dos and don'ts (as in the harlequin number at left), punctuated by cheeky Briticisms. Divided into chapters with such labels as "Big Boobs...
...their church (and themselves) out of its spiraling moral and financial crisis. The move would be historic. A plenary council has not been called in the U.S. since 1884.

...season finale sent the team out on a jubilant note, coming less than a week after Yale had convincingly beaten Harvard, 8-1, in the semifinal of the national championship, the Howe Cup. Sophomore No. 2 Lindsey Wilkins called the Crimson loss simply a “dress rehearsal”—and the final performance was without doubt a crowd pleaser...
