Exclusively at Walmart, the former prestige beauty brand, Hard Candy, resurfaces this week for the masses, priced at $5 – $10. An impressive price point considering they will launch with 261 items ranging from nail polish, bronzers, tinted moisturizers, to lip stains, lip glosses, and a variety of eyeliners, eyeshadows, mascaras, and more.
The Hard Candy for Walmart launch party
Founded in 1995 by Dineh Mohajer, Hard Candy is one of those brands that takes me back. That’s the year Clueless hit theatres and every female teen from that generation, become instantly obsessed with Alicia Silverstone. Well at least I did, so when she
One of the joys of subscribing to the Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) newsletter is every morning I receive an email with all a list of their top stories. The September 18th headline read, ‘Avon President Smith Resigns’. I immediately click onto the article, which basically said effective October 30th, Liz Smith resigns from Avon to become a chief executive officer – but where, what company?
Here’s to you Vidal Sassoon! Thank you for letting me celebrate this 45 year milestone with your team, and congratulations on the new Sassoon location!
Last week, I had the pleasure of celebrating the launch of Leila Sham’s Spring 2010 Collection at her beautiful, drool-worthy apartment in Williamsburg. If I wasn’t so in love with the collection and consumed by my excitement of having the opportunity to own Style No. 20 Bicolor Sequin Dress (Color: Purple to Gold), I would say she missed her calling as an interior designer. Except having known Leila and how creative she is, it’s safe to say she has a lot of callings.
This dress is so amazing! You can actually brush the sequence down to reveal the purple side or up to see gold, creating whatever purple/gold combination desired!

Susan Sarandon may have played a Queen in Exit the King, but off stage she remains on her thrown as the Queen of SPiN. Susan, alongside owners Bill Mack, Franck Raharinosy, Jonathan Bricklin, and Andrew Gordon welcomed guests to their 13,000 square feet table tennis social club this past Thursday to their grand opening hosted by Vanity Fair and Hermes.
The celebration and space was nothing short of pure magic.In fact it was out of control AMAZING.With a 30 ft bar and lounge that looks into the 23rd street subway station and 17 ping pong tables on Olympic caliber flooring, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen (and after 8yrs in NY, that’s rare).
The room was filled with members, celebrities, heartthrobs, models, nerds, hipsters, fashionistas, Olympians, legends, reporters, artists, bankers, – oh and Spider-Man. No matter your status, age, or playing ability, Spin offered an equal playing field and allowed us to be kids again. They gave us game time on their courts and served gourmet popcorn and grilled cheese compliments of their restaurant, Ducks.

Guests played dress up in Hermes scarves while waiting for their turn to be photographed.Not only did the full size pictures print out instantly, but it also allowed you to enter your email address to have the images sent to your account.
I clearly had a lot of fun with this feature.
Later on the party continued in their private Fred Perry room.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Week Suite at the Loft at the Byrant Park Hotel was a welcome respite for attendees taking a break from the tents and in need of some papering. Offering beverages and snacks, as well as manicures in their new fall shades, guests had a place to just hang out and relax in between shows.
Estée Lauder announced today that it will close all Prescriptives counters globally by January 31, 2010. While supplies last, they will continue to sell products through their website. So stock up NOW or risk forever holding your peace.
Soon to be a rarity
Prescriptives was once ranked among the top five brands in American department stores; but today is not that day, and I will admit, I’m part of the problem! Years ago (ahem, many), I used to be one of their loyal foundation and moisturizer customers, but then one day, I just stopped. I’m not sure why, I suppose I started trying different brands and falling in love with new products. Brand loyalty is so hard to find these days.
He had me at Dovima with Elephants. Richard Avedon’s body of work is truly stunning — he reinvented fashion photography delving into the realm of art. The exhibit travels back in time expanding the evolution of fashion through his lens. The photographs are extraordinary and well displayed covering over five decades of his work on two floors of the ICP. Carve out a decent amount of time to view this exhibit. A worthy must see!
