Literally every season during the fall shows I look forward to the Go Red for Women Heart’s Red Truth fashion show. Considering heart disease is the #1 killer of women it’s so great that so many celebrities, designers and women come together to team up with Go Red For Women and raise awareness for this great cause.

PC Hosts PANDORA Grand Opening with Lucky Magazine
On Thursday night, I partnered with Lucky Magazine to host the grand opening of the new PANDORA store in SoHo alongside Lucky’s Accessories Editor, Melissa Lum and fellow blogger, Helena Glazer of Brooklyn Blonde. It was a charmed night, filled with bubbly, shopping and some of the most delectable cupcakes I’ve had to date. (Note to self, next time I’m in Williamsburg, stop by Sips & Bites).
PANDORA I’m huge into customizing and personalizing your own looks so imagine how much fun it was to host an event where guests literally had hundreds of charms to choose from. Plus, much like me PANDORA is all about mixing and stacking jewelry from rings, to bracelets to necklaces so I had a blast helping fans play dress up. And then there was the stories… one customer was telling me how every year for her birthday her boyfriend buys her a new charm. Another had been collecting them since High School and was almost done with her bracelet.
Naturally, I have a few PANDORA favorites — which PANDORA created tent cards throughout the store to note our Lucky Picks! My first and foremost is the Royal Crown necklace

PC featured in Beauty High’s 10 Top Beauty Bloggers Share Their Best Beauty Tricks and Fall Must-Haves
Talk about a great birthday present, my feature in Beauty High 10 Top Beauty Bloggers Share Their Best Beauty Tricks and Fall Must-Haves article is now live!
{How great do all my fellow bloggers look?}
For fall I’m all about bold, red lips and MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Rouge #8 is the perfect long lasting, high pigmented lip stain/gloss duo. I’m also really into metallic accents and with all the army green we’ve seen from the runway I love MAKE UP FOR EVER Metal Powder. It builds into a really beautiful shimmer and the formula is gorgeous; it goes on clean and is so soft and silky. I’m also rocking some serious false eyelashes from Sephora brand in Celebrity and all bronzed up with Guerlain Terracotta matched with a CND Shellac manicure from Jin Soon Spa.

NYFW: Nicole Miller Spring/Summer 2013 Runway Show (+ Video)
We saw a lot of prints this fashion week, but Nicole Miller’s we’re amongst my favorite. The collection had a lot of energy and amped up some of the classic silhouettes Nicole Miller is known for — airy silk organza tops, stretch skinny pants and fitted dresses. Also her leather pieces we’re exceptional. I’m not big on wearing leather but their was a vest, jacket and skirt that made me eat those words three time over. It had a very rocker meets feminine mix that really worked. I loved this collection!
{LOVED this leather jacket, especially the versatility with the zippers}
{The skirt, the shorts, the dress, the jacket… the leather was a hit!}
{Vibrant prints, geometric shapes, rock star legging pants…}
