EyesUp with Murad

Outfit details: Stella McCartney Shoes // Iris & Ink Pants // Sunday Somewhere Sunglasses // Willow & Clay Blazer

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Murad, read any of his books, or know anything about him (in addition to creating his incredible skincare line, Murad), you know his commitment to health and beauty runs inside and out. Today, I’m partnering with the brand in going EyesUp meaning I’ll be going dark this afternoon on social media for 24 hours with the intention of converting that time and energy to more meaningful things. Like playing with my dog, spending time with my mom while she’s in town without my phone in my hand (she gets in at 2pm so I’ll definitely be dark by then!), playing cards with my boyfriend instead of staring at a computer screen — and if we’re really getting crazy, maybe have that art night we’ve been planning for the last year.

Athleisure, temperamental weather, Harry Connick Jr (and it’s only Monday)

What is happening? It’s summer, it’s winter, one minute it’s warm and the next you’re enjoying a sandwich from your favorite local Alidoro spot and then next our server is Harry Connick Jr. disguised as an old man. No really, that happened to me today. Don’t worry I’ll share the video of him peeling off his mask *think Mission Impossible style* to reveal himself when it airs on his show. On the upside I got a blow-out this morning so at least my hair looked good. I was otherwise in my usual athleisure-no-ones-paying attention to me lunch attire.

Breaking Down the Big Lips Trend and my Favorite Plumper

Well friends, if there’s one trend that seems to be growing, it’s the want for big lips! While I’ve never done a lip injection, the temptation is real (and I have decent lips!), so I get it. I have however tried a million different lip plumpers and the below are my favorite. In fact, I like to use the Fillerina all day everyday, then do a regimen of lip balm, Juvalip Lip Plumper Device, followed by Grande Lips Hydrating Lip Plumper for an instant plump lips. I also like to have Skyn Iceland Plumping Lip Gels on hand for special occasions when I need a smooth lip as a base. I explain more below!

Revlon X Gwen Stefani Choose Love Campaign

This Valentine’s Day, I got the incredible opportunity to spend it with Gwen Stefani and Revlon in celebration of  their new CHOOSE LOVE campaign. (Fitting for a Valentine’s Day event right?). Gwen is Revlon’s newest global brand ambassador and will be starring in their empowering new campaign #ChooseLove.

As if she needs any introduction… Gwen is a three-time Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter, fashion designer and entrepreneur and is well known for her bold and trendsetting looks. She’s been inspiring me since I was a teenager and still to this day. She is my most long standing girl crush of all time — and is it just me or does she just get better looking with age? Goals people! One of her first roles as brand ambassador includes starring in a global multimedia Revlon campaign called CHOOSE LOVE, a campaign geared towards choosing and celebrating love throughout the world.

If you have oily skin, read this!

I have always had skin that was on the oilier side (especially in my T-zone) and am constantly on the hunt for the best products to keep my skin feeling clean and my make up in place.  There is nothing worse than checking yourself out in the mirror halfway through the day to see most of your make up has slid off, especially in the warmer weather.  Here are some of current go tos!

Life updates, Blogger advice and this retro Lafayette 148 outfit

Happy last day of February everyone! This year is flying by and I for one am ready for a vacation. It has been the most exciting few months of filming and magazine collaborations which I can not wait to share with all of you! Between Health Magazine announcing my campaign with Olay (we have another surprise coming soon!), Redbook featuring my charity and I got to announce my partnership with Vanity Fair, February will be hard to beat. However, March brings some awesome projects with Glamour, New Beauty and Amazon which I dying to see! I started my site 9 years ago because I worked for the best beauty and skincare brands and it felt like no one was leveraging experts or sharing product formulations and information in the way it’s so readily available now! And the fact that this industry (not just in beauty but fashion and travel too) continues to surprise me and push my creativity, it is never a dull moment. What I did with Olay was groundbreaking. I’ve never known a blogger or really any identifiable person go through clinicals to have their skin checked during product testing. It’s always just an anonymous clinical statistic and some number of a percentage of women that saw changes.  I’ll have more to unveil on that soon! I think the best part of working non-stop this new year was after months of being excited but so exhausted from early call times and the hours I spent researching, testing and reading before going on camera is now I get to sit back and see all of these projects come to life. Every collaboration has been so different and I’m so inspired how much magazines are embracing bloggers, these past few months I have been inspired and challenged in ways I didn’t even know were possible.

New 2017 Pirelli Calendar by Peter Lindbergh Unveiled

The 2017 Pirelli Calendar has been revealed and spoiler: it’s amazing. Shot by one of my favorite photographers, the iconic, Peter Lindbergh, this calendar conveys “personality, sensitivity, and the guts to be yourself.” While the photos are incredible so is the fact that Lindbergh is the first in the industry to have shot three editions of this infamous Calendar. The Pirelli Calendar, which has been produced yearly since launching in 1963 has previously been shot by big industry names including Helmut Newton, Steven Meisel and Annie Leibovitz and has featured so many iconic models and celebrities.
