Derma Blend and How I Winterize My Makeup Routine

Halloween has come and gone and we are officially headed in to the winter season. And much like one would winterize their home, when the seasons change it is also time to change up one’s makeup routine. In the summer I like to wear light BB creams or tinted moisturizers as I use self tanner during the warmer months and do not require as much coverage. But once the cooler temps arrive and my skin loses it’s “natural” glow I am all about a matte finish and more coverage.

Alice & Olivia SS 2016 For Lookbook Friday

Alice & Olivia’s SS 2016 collection is a happy romantic romp through the sunlit desert at dusk. With a feminine and lady like silhouette of long flowing maxi dresses, generous peasant skirts, wide leg trousers and ruffle dresses this collection is sultry and slightly androgynous. Brilliant colors of fiery red, royal blue and sunflower yellow are balanced by more subdued tones of beige, cream, black, white and tan, and reflect the quite yet arresting splendor of a desert horizon.

A Textured Vest From Mango—Put Your Best Vest Forward

Yes Fall is finally here in NY and one of the things I love to do when the weather is so delightfully crisp and inviting is to stroll the streets of Soho on my lunch break. Seriously girls it does’t get any better then this. I love to people watch, window shop and get inspired by all the wonderful street style around me.

Balmain Pre-Fall 2015 With Cindy Bruna and Devon Windsor For Lookbook Friday

I think Balmain may just have brought sexy back. After seasons of minimalism and non body con looks Balmain’s pre-fall collection’s sophisticated take on the bombshell aesthetic is a sizzling sensation of modern day sex appeal. A cool toned ruby red dominates the palette in a luxurious sultry vibe which is accented with a shimmering jewel toned green, a rich mustard and lots of black and white.

Zara Lace-up Shoes and a Lovely Night Out in Soho

Last week I wrote about the black suede lace up shoes I picked up at Zara in this post, and here I am sporting these gorgeous kicks. As I said in last weeks post these shoes are super comfortable and easy to walk around in for a relatively long time. I wore them to NYFW to a number of shows, and here I wore them to go out to dinner with a couple of fellow bloggers

Girl in Miu Miu and Garance Dore

In the last few weeks as my regular readers will know I have posted about my adventures during NYFW, and one of the highlights was getting to go backstage at a few of the shows. Who doesn’t love to get a glimpse of what goes on behind the doors of fashion? And it seems brands are well aware of the public’s love of behind the scenes sneak peaks and back stage access and the power of a good influencer.

Zara Lace-up Heeled Shoes an Oh So Gorgeous Must Have

Yes it’s bad, I have a very bad habit of “popping in” to Zara to just “look around” and walking out with one of those brown or navy bags on my arm. And these beauties stopped me in my tracks. I just HAD to have them. They are a much less expensive version of the Guci lace up shoes minus the pom poms and the price tag. They retail for $69.99 and are surprising comfortable and easy to walk in. I

A Suitable Affair—The Pants Suit Trend How To Look Chic and Powerful

The seventies trend is in full swing, with a fun boho chic aesthetic to quirky graphics, to wide legged trousers, to floppy hats, the look is every where. And one of the trends within in this trend—the pants suit is also having a moment. From the seventies era flared bottoms to straight cut suits, to peg legged cuts and printed pants suits, there’s a look to “suit” you. I love how blogger Samantha De Reviziis of the blog We Love Fur styled her orange Maz Mara suit.
