Eleanor Estes, a Los Angeles-based stylist, found herself in an extreme LDR when her boyfriend moved back to his native Greece. Like Aida, she indulged in the romance of the far-flung affair: "I loved the coming together and then leaving part," Estes confides. "It was always so thrilling...
...novelist that Crichton was best known. He wrote two dozen thrillers, including The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Sphere and Jurassic Park, that collectively sold over 150 million copies. (A new one, its title and subject matter still unannounced, is slated for publication in December.) Crichton was never a literary stylist, but his skills as a storyteller were enormous.

What is a charity going to do with an old Valentino jacket that doesn't have much resale value anyway? And, more importantly, why does a "no-frills" middle class hockey mom from Alaska need to buy designer clothing when there are fantastic facsimiles to be found at one tenth of the price at places like Zara...
