Hanky Panky #ThongDIY Party!
It’s a Hanky Panky party! Hosted by Glam Guru, JD Breen (whom I haven’t seen in forever, til then), it was full of cupcakes (Baked by Melissa!!), cocktails and crafting. I was actually really excited about doing some DIY crafts. I’m terribly unskilled in that area, but love hopping onto every opportunity to learn and sew.
Mission: Razzle Dazzle the Hanky Panky “Original...

Leña Latin Grill
Every time I am in the Herald Square area, I realize that it is so hard to find a good spot to grab a quick bite that wasn’t either greasy fried food, a $$$$ expensive restaurant, or Korean. So when I found out about Leña Latin Grill, I was intrigued and seriously happy something else was out there. I just can’t believe I haven’t heard of this place before now!
I appreciate...

Naked Eyes
I’ve started to separate all my makeup portions of my outfit posts to their own section now. I think it gives the blog a little more organization and better reader searchability :)
Today’s look is from my last OOTD (outfit of the day). I actually unwittingly created this look, as a result of my forgetfulness and rushing. It is totally different from my usual panda-eye look, but I...

Yuna Yang Resort 2012
…isn’t it pretty to think so?
I was really excited to see Yuna Yang’s resort collection. There is always such a pretty elegance to her designs that knows exactly how to get into my heart and pull on all the right strings. This collection, Pretty to Think So, is no different.
You see a lot of retro glamour in the gowns, reminiscent of the 1930s depression era, where hemlines...

Circle Lens!
I’ve become the biggest YouTube beauty junkie, ever! It’s so bad, that I’ve been purchasing more and more products. I am also influencing my friends to watch all these gurus. They, in turn, influence their friends. Countless sleepless nights are lost to YouTube (and I get the blame, lol). But, you know what? I love it!
I don’t remember where I saw my first pair of circle...

Wear White in the Rain
(Diba sandals, American Apparel accordion skirt*, vintage Gucci bag, le chateau top, Spring earrings)
Who wears white on a rainy day? Obviously, me. LOL. Normally, I don’t wear white or ivory too much. I like bold colors, or a lot of grey, black and charcoals. Typical NYC color scheme. It’s nice to change it up a bit though :)
sidenote: I don’t like what the rain does to my...

Rebecca Minkoff Resort 2012
Above: Stephanie, Me and Jinna (adore them)
The more I learn about Rebecca Minkoff and her brand, the more I love it. That’s why I was beyond thrilled to see her resort line at the showroom. Even more amazing, is the fact that she walked us through her collection, personally. *swooon swoooon*
Imagine yourself on the French Riviera, in St. Tropez — her inspiration. Truly, I do love...

It felt like yesterday since BGSK celebrated their website launch. Now, they are celebrating their cookbook launch — In the Small Kitchen: 100 Recipes from Our Year of Cooking in the Real World, available on Amazon.
Soooo, what’s a better way to celebrate than frolicking at The Wooly, nibbling on sugary treats, and posing in photo booths?!
With 1/2 of BGSK and Melissa. Sigh, I...

Beautiful and spiritual jewelry that really makes a statement. Ever since I got the below pieces at the Satya Sample Sale, people keep commenting on how much they love it, each time I wore it out.
Founders, Satya and Beth above. The jewelry I picked out on the right.
The collection is Yoga-inspired and is hand-crafted in Thailand, then finished here. A lot of their work combines...

Folica.com Hair-To Tuesday: Croc
I was pretty amped up to finally be able to attend another Hair-To Tuesday, hosted by folica. Since December, I’ve been itching to go back! This time, the Croc team flew in from California to help us learn to straighten our hair and show us how to use the flatiron to create volume and curls.
Above, is their Greenion Flat Iron. First impression? Amazing! It has a green LED light that...

A Rice Ball in a Fruits Basket
Michael Kors sunglasses, XOXO pleated dress, B.Makowsky crossbody bag, Diba sandals, Satya Jewelry lotus ring
Thank goodness the sun is back out and summer took back the stage! This is what I wore to brunch and a Dior Beauty event on the first day of sunshine. As I’ve complained, it had been raining non-stop for the past weeks. Stuck at home, with more time to kill, I became so hooked on...

Sunkissed Beauty: Dior Glow
Hello Summer! Where have you been all year?
So happy to say that I am kicking off my Sunkissed Beauty series with a little help from the adorable Kimmie Smith of Kitten Lounge, Lucky Magazine and Dior Beauty! Plus, it’s rare for me to put up a makeup-less photo, teehee :D
For this installment of Kimmies Gimmies, we looked to the Dior makeup pros to get that fresh, bright and dewy glow.
