Newly Released: The COVERGIRL Capitol Collection Beauty Looks

Every month or so I’ve been getting these little teasers in the mail of images from the newly released COVERGIRL Capitol Collection. Well Hunger Games fans, here’s the complete beauty breakdowns of the 12 high-fashion Catching Fire beauty looks, inspired by each of the districts by COVERGIRL. Each look uses the district’s specialty trade as inspiration, and then transforms it into a couture, Capitol reinterpretation.

COVERGIRL’s Capitol makeup artist, Dotti, used COVERGIRL’s Flamed Out Collection and our new limited-edition Capitol Collection to create the looks.

A Date with Bailey’s: The Most Stylish Shot of the Night {Sponsored}


Last night, GLAM invited me to a private tasting of Bailey’s Vanilla Cinnamon at NYC’s DreamDry (aka where I got my awesome VMA hair done), for an evening of makeovers, blow-outs and what may possibly be the most stylish shot of my life. Featuring a custom DIY Bailey’s shot bar, I made concoctions that involved Bailey’s Vanilla Cinnamon mixed with whiskey and topped with an orange twist to something called the “Rich & Famous” that mixes Bailey’s Vanilla Cinnamon with Ciroc Armaretto and adds accents of edible gold around the mouth of the glass and isn’t complete without a cherry on top!

Now with the amount of hair I pack, my hair-dresser had her work cut out for her — giving me a blowout isn’t s quick job, it’s a workout. And while we chatted, the waiters came over for more mixed samplers using Bailey’s Vanilla Cinnamon. I don’t really have words for how delicious the addition of this liqueur added to every shot I sipped, but lets just say it took it from a drink to a dessert. And I should know, I may or may not have woken up with diabetes after the insane amount of sampling that went down — but at least my hair looks fantastic!

NYFW: Trina Turk California Dreaming for Spring 2014

Trina Turk Spring 2014

I was sifting through my New York Fashion Week pictures and was so inspired by the entire ambiance of Trina Turks Spring 2014 collection. While it’s gray and rainy in NYC, this collection has me dreaming of California road trips; warm weather, sparking beaches and pink sunsets. Inspired by a scenic route up the Pacific Coast Highway, the prints give the clothes vintage vibe and that crop top we’ve been seeing all season definitely has it’s place in this collection. Just hand me a pair of sunnies and sign me up!

For the hair, Martin Christopher Harper for Cutler Salon went with a textured, middle part beach wave using  Redken Full Frame 07 Volumizing Mousse and Redken Rootful 06 Root Lifting Spray. Then followed with a curling iron and to create a soft wave before finishing off with Redken Fashion Work 12 Versatile Working Spray.

Saks Launches New Fragrance Floor

Saks Fifth Avenue Fragrance Floor

This morning, I stopped by Saks Fifth Avenue for the official unveiling of their new fragrance floor. While the location has not changed, just about everything else about the space has. For starters ten of the brands (including Creed, Hermes, Bond No.9 New York, Diptyque, Le Labo, Panhaligon, Kilian, Acqua di Parma, Cartier and CHANEL) are now separated as if they we’re their own boutique, allowing the brands to use their counter space to show off their distinct personalities.
