Valentine’s Day is three weeks away. Are you ready? If not, I’ve put together some fun gift and outfit ideas for you. I usually hate this Hallmark holiday but I’m trying to embrace it this year. I also wish I was in London so I could visit the new Elan Cafe in Knightsbridge that’s an […]

I’ve touched on some winter skincare products recently but since the weather has turned very frigid recently, I thought a full winter skincare post was in order. The colder temperatures, winds, lack of humidity, hot interiors, and travel all wreak havoc on the skin in the winter. I’m touching on my favorite procedures and products […]

Did you watch The Last Days of John F. Kennedy, Jr. last week?  The best part was seeing videos of him with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. We normally see photos of her running away from the paparazzi so it was nice to see her smiling and actually hear her voice. It’s also amazing that her fashion […]

My final favorite things gift guide for 2018 was supposed to go up last Tuesday but better late than never. You have a few more days to shop in order to have gifts delivered in time for Christmas so here are a few last minute gift ideas. I think it’s always nice to buy someone […]

Our second gift guide of the season includes things for the whole family but what I really want is a trip to London to see this cute vintage car stuffed with presents at Covent Garden. How cute is that?! This Holiday Bear Sweater for little girls is so cute you’ll wish it came in adult […]

Today I heard there are only 39 days until Christmas. I’m definitely not ready and if you aren’t either, we have our first favorite things gift guide of the season to help get you started on your shopping. I love this set of 4 Aerin Holiday Salad Plates. They would make a great gift with […]

Aerin Lauder and her brand Aerin Beauty have partnered with Colombian fashion designer, Johanna Ortiz, to create an exclusive lipstick and beauty bag collection in botanical and bug prints inspired by Colombia. The three lipstick colors include a neutral, a bright orangey coral, and, a perfect red color in patterned packaging that would make a […]

As most of you know, I love taking care of my skin and I’m always using new products. I just attended a launch party for the reformulated La Prairie Caviar Collection last night and started using the Ziip Beauty Device both of which I will review soon. Until then, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is filled with amazing […]

Humidity Proof Hair

07 . 10 . 18

Someone asked me if I had a blowout on a particularly humid day recently when I had actually done my own hair. Since it’s been two years since my last hair care post, I thought the height of summer might be a good time to help you humidity proof your hair as well.  I was […]

Are you ready for Mother’s Day?  If you’re having trouble figuring out a gift, how about some beauty and skincare products that your mom/grandma/wife/sister/friend might not buy for themselves. The perfect one-stop place to shop for gifts or a beauty refresh for yourself is Cos Bar. They carry all the best brands and newest products […]

Westman Atelier

04 . 05 . 18

I’m anxiously awaiting the launch of Westman Atelier, the clean beauty collection from make up artist Gucci Westman and her husband David Neville. It won’t be available until May but the WSJ.Magazine has an interview with the couple and a look inside their Upper West Side apartment. The new beauty line took three years to develop […]

It’s been a year since my last big skincare post so thought this would be a good time for an update. I’ve started using a few new products that I can see are really making a difference in my skin. A few people have also commented on how great my skin looks so it’s not […]

Valentine’s Day is coming up in two and a half weeks. I know a lot of people hate this commercial holiday but it can be fun if you embrace it. You can celebrate with friends and family, plan a romantic date night, or treat yourself to a spa day and some self love. To get […]

I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Eve. That’s not to say I haven’t had a quite a few fun times celebrating and luckily the advent of Uber has made them infinitely easier to navigate. But I’d rather toast with champagne at a civilized dinner party or an evening at home. No matter how […]

I can’t believe there are only 20 days left until Christmas. If you’re behind on your shopping, I’m back with another gift guide to help you check everyone off your list. I think the best gift you can give someone is something that you know they will love or something they might not buy themselves […]

I’ve been wanting to try Victoria Beckham Beauty since it debuted because I thought it looked very chic and intriguing. I finally got my hands on some products this week and while I knew I would like them, I wasn’t expecting to love them. It’s easy to write off celebrity beauty lines but what I […]

All of my fashion friends are in Paris this week and before they left, I suggested they stop by the new Buly 1803 in the Marais. This new location not only carries their cult beauty products but also has a cafe, Grand Café Tortoni. One of my friends who visited said she preferred the original […]
