• TOP CELEB LOOKS OF THE WEEK

    This post should actually be entitled Top Celeb Looks of the Last 2 Weeks, as I missed last Monday. I’d like to say that it was due to some uncontrollable situation but it wasn’t. Since the beginning of the World Cup, I’ve been so engrossed and madly tweeting that it’s taken over my world. Many…

  • MASTER COLORIST KAZUMI MORTON

    OK… we’ve never done a Beauty Hotspot on an individual before, but sometimes there’s an exception to the rule. Kazumi Morton, Master Colorist has brought her signature coloring style to the East Coast. Known for the highlights that allow extra re-touching time between each visit, Kazumi has a following of clientele that don’t have the…

  • BENEFIT COSMETICS X LESPORTSAC

    Yeah, yeah, yeah… we’re late on the collaboration news, but better late than never. Especially when their latest installation is ripe and ready for the summer picking. I  was reconnected with why I fell head over heels with LeSportsac during fashion week in February. My old leather clutch that I used as a purse organizer…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY|ATHLETIC PROPULSION LABS

    When a shoe is banned by the NBA for “providing an undue competitive advantage,” you know it’s something to talk about. That’s Athletic Propulsion Labs, or APL, for you. Known for their NBA banned, patented Load ‘N Launch Technology, has launched a running shoe line housing three collections –  The Joyride, The TechLoom™ Pro and…

  • NATURALLY YOURS WITH LOXA BEAUTY

    I’m sure many of you know, or don’t know, that I’ve been natural for a year now! YAAAAY! I know… it’s such a great feeling to get to know your natural definition, curl pattern, etc., without the constant trips to the salon for a relaxer. The only downside is that I’ve gone through trial after…

  • DESIGNER TO WATCH| FRANK TROPIANO

    I don’t know much about Frank Tropiano, as I rarely know much about any emerging designers we feature. Which is sort of the cool thing about this series. We get to discover, or in this case have them discover us, before they become celebrity designers. You get them when their desire is raw and real,…

  • MAKEUP MONDAY

    It’s always difficult to trust a product based off of what you read, or hear, or even see. I think the best way to tell a product’s validity, or commercial hype, is when it’s sold out in more places than you’d except. That’s Claudio Riaz instant Lash Mascara for you. By creating a mascara that…

  • 2014 FRAGRANCE FOUNDATION AWARDS

    Monday night, The Fragrance Foundation Awards honored the industry’s creative achievements of 2014 with a slew of iconic names and faces. Hosted by revered comedian Dana Carvey, and co-chaired by Carine Roitfeld and model Coco Rocha, the evening seemed more of a comedic fashion show than the monotone events of Prosecco as the only saving…

  • SUMMER SANDALS SOCIETY

    I have a horrible habit of never knowing what to wear for any season. I wear t-shirts when it’s snowing, take no umbrella when it’s raining, and wear jackets when it’s 80 degrees. It makes no sense, but it’s who I am. And as time goes on, and I age with every passing year, I…

  • MORNING ROUTINES START WITH YOUR MOUTH

    I’m slightly obsessed with the mouth area. When I brush, my teeth must feel a certain way before I stop. My mouth has to be rinsed with hot water after a swig of Listerine, as I’m convinced that extra burn is well worth it. And though my teeth have gone from a blinding white to…

  • INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE| VANESSA LACHEY

    Crocs opens Flagship store in New York’s bustling 34th street to which Vanessa Lachey kicked things off by cutting the opening ceremony ribbon. And in true Crocs style, Vanessa was comfortably styled in her stucco Crocs cap toe flats as we talked Crocs, Mother’s Day and her personal style. So, why Crocs? Why not? (laughs) Well…

  • NEW BALANCE FRESH FOAM 980

    Can we discuss how much we’re in love with the neon shoe craze? It’s insane to be honest. I’m not even sure where or how it started, but it’s been amazing how well known brands have joined the bandwagon. By creating product that are not only Fashionably Fit, but enhanced with the latest support technology,…
