WIN IT! Enter our Lolly Scarf Giveaway ($74 Value)

I am a bit of a scarf collector — I consider it genetic. Newest obsession, LA-based Lolly Clothing scarves. While they’ve already taken over the necks of many celebs (including Gwyenth Paltrow, Gisele Bundchen, Jennifer Aniston, and Sarah Jessica Parker) they are new to my company so I’m excited to give one away to a lucky reader!

Their collection combines artisanal and textile patterns and for Spring 2012 they have beautiful range of dip-dyed scarves and silk pashmina’s. Everything is one-of-a kind and done with an innovative layering dye process, giving each scarf it’s own unique, individual look.

 WIN IT – The Lolly Silk Pashmina ($74 Value)!

Description: 100% silk, unbelievably soft pashmina/silk scarf. The gorgeous splatter wash is done by hand (no two pieces look alike) in a cascade of yellows that’s perfect for spring. (For more details click HERE)

Dinner with Harry Josh + What’s NEW at John Frieda

If ever a man that could get you excited about hair… it’s Harry Josh. Hair stylist to the stars including Gweneth Paltrow, Katy Perry and Rose Bryne (he’s responsible for that amazing bob we all drooled over at the SAG Awards), Harry Josh is also the International Creative Consultant for John Frieda. And I love that! It takes someone constantly working with different hair consistencies and styles to really get to know what’s lacking in the market place and what can be improved.

So as part of a special celebratory dinner of their latest product launches, John Frieda & Harry Josh hosted an intimate dinner for myself and fellow bloggers. And without further ado, here’s what’s new at  John Frieda:

First up, Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution ($9.99):

For all of you looking for a lightweight frizz reducer but get turned off by serums that are too greasy or weigh your hair down, get excited! This rendition of their existing Frizz-Ease serum, is specifically designed for fine to medium hair.

Part lightweight serum, part smoothing elixir this shake-to-activate dual formula is specifically designed to fight frizz and leave hair light and manageable whether you style straight, wavy, or curly.

I have long, wavy (I know it doesn’t appear that way in most of my pictures since I’m always straightening it) but it’s thin. So in theory this is meant for my hair type, however I have a lot of it — I have enough hair for small village. And because of this I fall somewhere in between this product and the original. For the time being, I like the how light it is and that it goes on towel-dried hair. Although, I can already tell come that come summer, I’ll need something heavier to fight my

Stella & Dot Spring Collection

EXTRA's Maria Menounos in Stella & Dot Sierra Necklace (Retail, $148)

Back in January, I got a preview of Stella & Dot’s spring collection, and now that spring has sprung, I’m excited to share the collection with you!

It’s a mixed range of styles spanning from delicate pieces to bold, statement ones. And the color ranges from ocean-hued jewel shades to silver and gold pieces that will carry you through the season and beyond.

Much like the Avon selling system, Stella & Dot creates entrepreneurial opportunities for women to sign up as reps. The collection is available exclusively through in-home Trunk Shows by these Independent Stylists and on their website, StellaDot.com.

 

 

{Love these delicate necklaces that can be layered. Especially the arrow one!}

{Did I mention they also have handbags?}

Henri Bendel Spring/Summer Collection

Back in January I took a little stroll to Henri Bendel’s for a sneak peek at their Spring/Summer accessories and designer handbags. Walking into Bendel’s is the ultimate — it’s such an iconic NYC destination and the most beautiful specialty store. Getting to hang out with the Bendel’s girls and peek the new collection early… I’m slain! A few of these beauties below are already available in store, and the rest will hit the shelves in April and May.

I warn you, proceed with caution… these bags and accessories could have a negative effect on your bank account.
