Cake Plate partners with Benefit Cosmetics

Style experts Lindsay Kroll and Paige Smith and co-owners of Cake Plate Boutique in Napa, CA are opening their doors to Benefit Cosmetics this summer. Through September the Napa Valley fashion hot spot will serve as a pop-up shop for the makeup brand serving favorites as Bella Bamba, BADgal lash, Ultra Radiance Facial Re-hydrating Mist, Benetint and Stay Don’t Stray Eye Primer.

It doesn’t get too much better then one stop shopping for fashion and beauty! Now my only request is they open in NY. I’ve been playing on their website and there are so many summer dresses I want!

Although get excited new yorkers, Benefit will soon be opening their first store in NYC at 454 West Broadway in SoHo!

Refinery29’s Summer Jam Series

On July 6th, the cleverly hip and ever so stylish fashion and beauty website, Refinery29.com kicked off their Summer Jam series at the W Downtown Hotel.

Party at the W!

While I’m not generally one to be spotted in the financial district –uh pretty much ever –okay maybe a few times a year –I make an exception for friends that are tourists and that live in the area and now Refinery29!

I grabbed a group and hit the terrace. The inside was overly happening as guests flocked to the bar. As I maneuvered my way through the crowd to grab a drink, it was a reunion and half. I ran into old friends, new friends, old coworkers (I really must be on my 10th anniversary in NY).

Great DJ’s (Caitlin Moe and Mia Moretti was spinning!), good drinks, fun crowd, amazing friends, nice breeze… What more could you ask for?

The party continues July 19th through August 30th. Get in on it!

Tela Organic Phyto-Keratin Smoothing Treatment

Tela Design Studio

On a miserable day in NYC, I walked into Philip Pelusi’s Tela Design Studio with my unruly, frizzy, rained on hair ready to try their new 85% USDA certified organic keratin smoothing hair treatment ($125). Unlike most keratin treatments on the market, this one is plant based (most are extracted from animals) and free of formaldehydes, sulfates, and parabens.

The semi-permanent hair care lasts 4-6 weeks and contains Pelusi’s patent-pending phyto ceramide complex, which works to rearrange the keratin bonds deep with hair to help renew hair to a silky and lustrous state while smoothing and straightening. Now I’m no stranger to Keratin, I’ve tried different types of treatments as well as styling products that contain it, however this was my first
