Check it! UGG Fall Preview

UGG AustraliaYesterday I featured my new Jena boots from UGG Australia so I thought it would be fitting to give you a peek at all the amazing styles they have for fall! A few weeks back I stopped by the brand’s preview — and you know else was there? Brad Goreski. And while I love his polished bow-tie look, I’m not gonna lie, this more rugged laid back style was really working for me! (I almost didn’t recognize him).

Many are already available, including my Jena boot, but scroll through the below for the women’s offerings featuring a medley of clogs (with heels!), leather boots as well as adorned classic UGG boots.

Hamptons Highlights: 7 Great Summer Moments

Happy Monday everyone! It’s Labor Day which means that Hamptons season is officially coming to a close — although ironically, I’ll be there for a bachelorette party next weekend so may be a bit of an overstatement. Even still, with summer slowly leaving us and with it my time out east, here’s a throwback to 7 great moments that made this a summer to remember.

Style Mondays: My favorite fall fashion week trend…

This week, I’m posting fall previews to to kick off #STYLEMONDAY, I thought I’d show off one of my favorite fall fashion trends!

Lara Eurdolian

From Donna Karen to BCBG to Karen Walker one of the biggest trend to hit the catwalk for the Fall/Winter 2013 shows was knit hats! And not just as part of your puffy jacket or cold day fashion; as in literally paired with anything your dress pants to cocktail dresses. I for one am obsessed with big beanies — and actually rarely leave home without one in the fall and winter months since I’m ALWAYS cold. However,

Jane Cosmetics Officially Re-launches!

Jane cosmeticsAfter much anticipation, Jane Cosmetics is back and has officially re-launched at 500 ULTA beauty stores with plans to expand to 65 more stores by the end of October. I stopped by the brands launch celebration and had to pleasure of meeting the woman behind the brand, Lynn Tilton. She’s a pillar in this industry someone a lot of us look up to as she’s also the head of Stila Cosmetics and 70+ other companies. (Talk about a super entrepreneur). Offering quality makeup at affordable prices, Jane fills the niche between value and prestige cosmetics lines.

Bebe Celebrates #be9to5 Campaign with Nina Agdal, Ciara, Coco Rocha, Selita Ebanks…

bebe #9to9 campaign

Last week, I joined bebe at Provacateur for the launch of their Fall 2013 #be9to5 campaign. Featuring a whole slew of quotes, including my personal favorite, “Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere”, the campaign features model Nina Agdal. In attendance was Coco Rocha, Ciara, Katrina Bowden, Selita Ebanks, Cintia Dicker and of course Nina Agdal, who all came to celebrate bebe’s new mantra “9pm-5am.” I just stayed for the VIP hour but the party went all night and rumor has it Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Avery and Russell Simmons all arrived late night to enjoy bebe’s party. Which is what happens when you leave early… so maybe I could stand to adopt their new mantra as well:)

Live from In Touch’s Icons+Idols Party with Jenny McCarthy, NERVO, Sarah Hyland, Taryn Manning, Nick Cannon {sponsored}

Last night, live from In Touch Weekly’s Icons+Idols party I was tweeting up the red carpet like it was my job! Which of course it was, since I was fortunate enough to be the red carpet corespondent for COVERGIRL! I already posted about my outfit, now for the fun stuff of who was there and the inside scoop on the top celebs #covermoments of the day as well as their must have beauty item for the red carpet!

Jenny McCarthy has been making headlines what with recently being announced as the newest member of The View, and dating New Kids on the Block singer Donnie Wahlberg. Her #covermoment was showing her son NYC for the first time and experiencing it through his eyes. Her must have red carpet product is powder — don’t want to be shiny on the red carpet.

She had the same must-have product, powder as well as added lip gloss to the list.Sarah Hyland, Lara Eurdolian, VMA'sIt was so great meeting Taryn Manning, who was wearing a great mix of H&M and vintage, with some Rag and Bone jeans. Paired with a killer red lip that really competed the look, it came as no surprise her must-have beauty item — lipstick.

Their #covermoment was the moment before they stepped onto the red carpet and were getting their makeup done.NERVO at In Touch's Icons+Idols eventNow my next guest is tough to say without singing his name… yes, I’m talking about Jason Derulo.

Style Monday: Flammed Out for Icons+Idols

Happy Monday everyone! What a night with the VMA’s being in NYC last night. For this weeks #StyleMonday it seemed only appropriate to post last night/this AM’s outfit live from the red carpet of In Touch Weekly’s Icons and Idols VMA after party. I had the privilege of partnering with COVERGIRL as their red carpet corespondent for the event — celebrity interview highlights coming up soon, but first, the outfit, the hair, and of course the makeup (and nails!).

It’s the VMA’s so I was channeling my inner glam rocker (hence the hair), but instead of the conventional black on black, I went with more of a feminine white on white. From the moment I saw this Leila Shams beaded skirt
