Forever Summer with Rebecca Minkoff S/S 2011
I can’t get over how GOOD these campaign images look for Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer collection. As much as I don’t want summer to leave, I’m so excited to start layering again! I feel like there are so much more options when you can layer and not be a sweaty mess :)
Just in time for the new weather change, Rebecca Minkoff will have their end of season blowout,...

Dark Decadence: Ippolita Jewelry
Timeless jewelry since her launch in 1999 at Bergdorf Goodman of her 18K gold line. Ippolita’s handmade pieces reflect her the rich Florentine aesthetic in her Italian heritage with modernity. Her collection is quite popular among the stars. My favorite Desperate Housewives actress, Marcia Cross, Victoria Secret bombshell, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Disney sensation, Selena Gomez, all...

Sock It To Me
I can’t say this was my usual afternoon, but when do you ever meet the socks of your dreams? Socks?! Yes, you heard right :)
As someone who totally appreciates colorful funky style, the designs of these tube socks immediately captured my heart (and possibly soul). At Therapie NY on the Upper West Side, Sock It To Me introduced 33 of their newest designs for the fall 2011 season. Designs...

fotd - china doll
I’m not entirely too sure how or why I became inspired to do this look. I started off by trying false eyelashes on my bottom lash line then added some to the top. Oh dear, I’m starting to look like a doll. Wait, what?! China Doll! Let me go straighten my hair now…
Then I wanted to line my eyes. I’ve just received a Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil as a gift from...

my own garden party...
New Look garland headband, Forever 21 maxi dress, Gucci vintage purse, Bakers garland sandals
I am not too keen on taking night time photos — only because I hate the harshness of flash. I wore this outfit to the 24 Blogazine party ‘Pure Case of Sassiness’ which I will recap soon. (Ahhh! Thoughts of the impending #NYFW creeps up on me every so often.)
I’ve been obsessed...

Ceci New York's Paper Art Party
I’m pretty much going to dedicate this post to my lovely friend Masquey because I don’t know anyone who has more love for paper crafts than her. I too, appreciate the prettier things in life, and that’s why I’m pretty smitten and inspired by the tablescapes created by Robin Zachary for the Ceci New York event.
The pink peonies set just immediately tugged at all my heart...

August Birchbox Haul #3 (2011)
So excited for this month’s Birchbox, and it’s about new innovations! As a techy gadget lover, this seems to be so parfait for me. I was expecting something from Caudalie because it was in the preview box at their event, but surpriseeee! No Caudalie for me, so good thing I got some products at the event :) :)
My favorites from July’s box was the Philosophy Purity Facial...

Sunkissed Beauty: Bronze Goddess
On the hottest day of the week (over 100 degrees!), I went out looking as if I just flew in from the islands.

To get this nice summery glow…
My main tools used to get the look.
NARS Laguna Bronzer

Sunkissed Beauty: Self-Tanning Favorites
I want to preface this by saying… Wow! I’ve tried so many different self-tanners for the past weeks — the most in my life, thus far. I’ve eliminated any products that did not provide a good natural color (ie orange), was very sticky even after an hour of application, or the tanning agent did not stick for at least a day.
The three below are my absolute favorites and...

Rolando Santana Fall/Winter 2011
I’ve been a fan of Rolando Santana’s designs and business for a while. This show was the only one I was able to access backstage and see the art come alive during New York Fashion Week. I think I really prefer to see both the magic in the making and the final product on the runway.
The theme was a dark one with splashes of gold and shimmer. The matching deep purple lips on the...
