Michael Kors Celebrates Robertson Blvd. Boutique Opening

I attended a fab party the other night in honor of the brand new Michael Kors store on Robertson Blvd. in Beverly Hills.  I’ve been a big fan of pretty much anything Michael designs for the past few years now so when I found out that they were opening an LA boutique, I was elated.  The party was hosted by Petra Flannery and benefitted St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which is always a nice add on.

Mika wore Michael Kors Resort 2012 optic white stretch boucle athletic neckline sheath dress with gold leather Quin clutch and Zoe wore Michael Kors Spring 2012 marigold double face stretch wool crepe sheath with Fall 2011 cocoa Quin clutch and Resort 2012 cocoa triple strap stilettos.

Had to show actress Kate Mara (from American Horror Story!) in these amazing Michael Kors Spring 2012 leopard shorts – LOVE.

Rachel Roy Eyeshadow Palette

I absolutely love Rachel Roy as a designer so I was super excited when I heard she decided to venture into the beauty world with her very first Eyeshadow Palette.  Naturally, it’s backordered until November 21st but hey, that’s not that long so whatever.  The palette also includes an oh-so-trendy QR code on the back that will direct you to online tutorials on how to create some of her signature makeup looks with the palette.  The colors are also pretty amazing…you get the perfect mix of daytime neutrals and fun, bright colors for night.  This is totally my next go-to palette which, for me, is very rare to find since I’m so picky about eyeshadow colors.

Louboutin “Alex” Lion Heels

Just spotted: Blake Lively and Sarah Jessica Parker wearing the newest “it” shoe from Louboutin’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection: The Alex.  According to The Daily Mail, Louboutin hasn’t yet revealed the price of the heels, but that hasn’t stopped Blake and SJP from galavanting all over town wearing the lion shoe.  I don’t know why but I am totally into these heels.  Sure, I love cats, we all know this, but I’ve always drawn the line at studded footwear…until now (maybe).

DANNIJO for Falling Whistles

I’ve always loved DANNIJO and I’m really into their new collection for Falling Whistles, an organization campaigning for peace in the Congo.  Today being Veteran’s Day, here in the U.S, I feel so appreciative that we have everything that we do and so touched by all of the soldiers who have died for us to have it.

The Falling Whistles campaign launched with the simple request that people make their voice a weapon by becoming a “whistleblower” for peace in the region.  The organization partnered with local leaders to advocate and rehabilitate those affected by the war, a war that has killed more than 6 million people over the last decade, including thousands of children.  I’ll step off my soap box now but these necklaces are really gorgeous and it’s just a bonus that you’ll be doing some actual good by buying one!

Christian Louboutin’s 20th Anniversary Fete at Barney’s New York

I’m always excited for a party but when I was invited to attend Christian Louboutin’s 20th anniversary party at Barney’s New York (in Beverly Hills), I was particularly excited.  I mean, it’s not every day that I’m in the prescense of a shoe god, right?  Also in attendance: Lea Michele, Dita Von Teese, Lucy Liu and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Obsession: Gucci Spring 2011 Two-tone Silk Harness Dress

Jennifer Lopez wore this a-pause-mazing Spring 2011 Gucci dress a few months ago to a charity event and I swear to god, every time I see this photo, I kind of melt.  I’m obsessed with the gorgeous green skirt-like bottom with the dark black contrast on top.  Be warned, I’m now on the prowl for an emerald green skirt.  Tweet me if you find anything close cause so far I’ve only found this similar look from Diane von Furstenberg.

The Monday Rundown: Halloween Edition

Pumpkin-shaped Chocolate Cake: I haven’t actually tried this recipe (since I have zero backing skills) but I love that it’s just two bundt cakes put together with an ice cream cone as the stem.

GAP 1969 Leopard Jeggings: The Current/Elliot version has been all the rage in the blogosphere, and I like them, but I think this darker, more subtle version is a little more me and definitely more versatile.

Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Candle: The combo of cinnamon and pumpkin is absolutely amazing, calming and reminds me of when I lived in New York and we had actual seasons.

LUSH Jacko Bath Bomb: This bath bomb doesn’t actually smell like pumpkin.  However, the spicy clove bud and spearmint combo has a lot of gusto and I’m just a big fan of bath bombs in general.
