GIRLS NIGHT IN: NAIL + PAMPER PARTY


Over the weekend I invited a few gal pals over and hosted a Girl's Night In: Nail + Pamper Party. We all have such hectic schedules, with work and travel, so it was nice to just relax and enjoy each other's company. The topics of the evening were: men, fashion, empire building, social media, men, nails, fashion week and oh, men!  The night was filled with gossip, nail painting and giggles from the sangria I made. A perfect night.

STAYCATION MUST HAVES




Summer is over, (ugh.) but now we look forward to the hustle and bustle of the holiday prep, shopping and a house full of guests.  So before it's too late, take some time out and treat yourself to a little staycation.  I know many of you are workaholics, business owners or stay at home moms, just like I am (dogs only for me), and that is exactly why I'm writing this post. For you.

Dear Domenico & Stefano,
When I thought you couldn't top last fall, you did.
Your exquisite work excites me and fuels my passion for this insane industry, more than ever before.

STATEMENT JEWELRY: BUDGET STYLE

I'm always a big fan of statement pieces but sometimes my wallet isn't. 9th & Elm features handmade and independent designers for up to 60%!  These are some of my fave statement styles, they easily make the transition from summer to fall. One of my 'go-to' looks, is just a simple black tee paired with piles of jewelry.

3.1 PHILLIP LIM SS/15: NYFW BEAUTY RECAP

 3.1 phillip lim ss15 nars beauty runway look

“There is a lot of see-through transparency and airiness to the collection – I wanted that to come through in the makeup.  My inspiration is sensuality; the way the morning light hits you as you wake up in your bedroom, with sensual skin beaming with rays of light. I highlighted the cheek bones, high planes of the face and the bridge of the nose to accentuate and bring out that glow in each girl.”

SHOP THE RUNWAY: DELPOZO: SS15 RTW


Delpozo blew my mind.  For me, this was one of the best collections at NYFW this season.  Structured shapes and clean lines were perfectly paired with delicate details to add a whimsical flair that drifted down the runway.
