Trend Alert: Raw Food Cleanse

At this point we’ve pretty much all heard about the liquid cleanse craze and I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon, but a new trend is bubbling and I think it’s WAY WAY better! I’ve been noticing that raw food cleanses have become more mainstream and they’re fantastic! Don’t get me wrong, if I [...]

Molton Brown Gets into the Anti-Aging Game

Molton Brown is up there for me with Tom Ford and Oribe as being unable to do any wrong. Their products are always not only reliably effective, but they smell divine and are packaged impeccably. I mean…do you see the image above!? How chic is that cap? I love the combo of the reflective silver [...]

Frugal Snob: Simply Vera Vera Wang Cosmetic Collection

There are very few designers that have branched out as much as Vera Wang has across the price spectrum — even fewer that have done so successfully. As much as I love her high-end line (even her black wedding dress moment!), I can’t deny that Wang’s David’s Bridal line is killer – so killer in [...]

The Shops at Target: Cos Bar (and a Giveaway!)

Target does not stop! The latest twist on its designer partnership model comes in the form of The Shops at Target, which will officially launch on May 6th. Through the program Target will partner directly with shop owners of specialty stores and local boutiques to co-create affordable, limited-edition collections. The ones I’m most exciting for [...]

On the Coral Train: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15

Tangerine may be the color of the year, but coral is definitely the color of the season. The color is a must for beauty according to Sonia Kashuk, for fashion according to Michelle Smith of Milly, and nails according to Deborah Lippmann, all of whom I’ve spoken to recently. Of course bright colors aren’t for [...]

Travel in Style: Oribe Beautiful Color Travel Set

I’m psyched about the coming weeks because I have three fun 3-5 day trips planned. First up I’ll be heading to Lenox to stay at Canyon Ranch. It was going to be an early birthday present to myself, but then my dad saw their website, noticed that it’s very close to Cranwell’s golf course, and [...]

The Hottest Workout in Town

I’m a born and raised Manhattanite, but a recent trip to L.A. has me thinking I was possibly born on the wrong coast! I love the heat and by love I mean LOVE. My apartment is kept at near sauna-level temperatures and if the temperature outside is anything less than high 60s I will inevitably [...]

Tracy Reese, Prabal Gurung, and Alexander Wang for Sally Hansen

I mean…can you say amaze-balls!? Sally Hansen teamed with three top designers (Alexander Wang, Tracy Reece, and Prabal Gurung), to create exclusive nail colors to complement each of their Fall 2012 runway collections and now those shades have launched for us all to nab. Above is the Prabal collection and I can’t wait to go [...]

Sephora + Pantone Universe Limited Edition Collection

Pantone, the color forecasting and matching firm, has teamed-up with Sephora for a limited edition collection inspired by what Pantone has deemed the color of 2012, Tangerine Tango (“a vibrant orange reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset”). Now orange isn’t my shade when it comes to my face, but the collection extents far [...]

L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Collection

What better time than right in the middle of the National Cherry Blossom Festival to highlight L’Occitane’s Cherry Blossom Collection? Is anyone in D.C. right now?? I’ve never been during their Cherry Blossom season, but the photos I’ve seen are unbelievable! Not to mention Cherry Blossoms are just one more reason, on an already long [...]
