Shop It To Me’s Unregrettable Evening of Fashion

So I recently attended an “Unregrettable Evening of Fashion” hosted by Whitney Port, American Express and Shop It To Me with my friends Sydne and Kristen.  The event was such a cool concept- everyone received a $50 American Express gift card so they could live-shop on ShopItToMe.com and, as a bonus, everyone was asked to bring one item of clothing to be donated to Beyond Shelter, an LA-based charity.

I took the opportunity to break in my new shoe obsession– an amazing pair of grey zipper booties from Haute Look’s Sole Society!  Stay tuned for a post soon on my affiliation with the new shoe site (hint: I’m a fashion insider!).

note: I hate this photo but the shoes look fabulous and really, that’s all that matters.

Jewelry Obsession: Haute Betts

So I’m iffy about the new movie Beastly (coming out on Friday) but if there’s one thing I’m not iffy about, it’s the jewely line Haute Betts, which Vanessa Hudgen’s wears in the new flick.  I’m totally obsessed with the “Gypsetter” collection which is a mixture of jewels with the old-fashioned camp style bracelet that I used to make back in the day.  It’s like childhood memory chic!  The Haute Betts line is known around Hollywood as a mixture of bohemian and rock n’ roll and has a ton of celeb fans like Ashlee Simpson, Katie Cassidy and Annalynne McCord and, of course, Vanessa Hudgens.

Vanessa stopped by the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills and met with Heather Betts, the designer, for a private preview of the Beastly Collection and the collection even features a “Lindy” bracelet, which is a one-of-a-kind piece created especially for the film and Vanessa’s character in the movie, Lindy.

2011 SAG Awards

Aaaah, the SAG Awards.  They’re always over-shadowed by the Golden Globes but I have to say, I’m way into the dresses above  (Mila Kunis, January Jones, Julia Stiles).  AND, I’m kind of obsessed with Julia Stiles’ makeup (and dress, for that matter).  Here’s how to get the look:

Julia’s look was created by celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey, who was really inspired by her gorgeous flowing dress for an effortless “rich hippie” look.  “I wanted her skin to be flawless but dewy so I used COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation, buffing it into the skin with a flat-topped brush.  I brushed a bronzer with a hint of shimmer on her cheeks and along the hairline for a natural glow and finished her skin with a shimmery coral blush on the apples of her cheeks.”

Bailey wanted to create a dramatic smoky eye so he lined the inner rim and lashline with COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast in Black Fire and then smudged it upwards.  He then used COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Purple Plume along the lid and up towards the brow bone.  He finished her eyes with dramatic lashes using false lashes and then applying COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion before applying COVERGIRL Lip Perfection in Smoky and then filled her lips in with COVERGIRL Lip Perfection in Delish.

Inspired By: “Black Swan”

So I recently saw the movie “Black Swan” and instantly fell in love.  As a former ballerina I can appreciate the way Natalie Portman trained so hard for the role and she danced beautifully, I might add.  In all honesty the movie was, yes, super creepy but I find myself entirely inspired…

Holiday Gift Idea: for your fashion-forward mom

So I recently fell in love…and it was with this Guy and Eva Alexis ring.  What I love about this modern piece is how it looks from the side; besides being awesome, it’s like an upside down hollowed out teardrop, if that makes any sense at all.  Oh and no green fingers- my major pet peeve.  The Alexis ring is made of rhodium (and hence, nickel-free) and jet black cubic zirconia for some real sparkle.  What mom doesn’t love a pretty ring?

Holiday Gift Idea: for the jet-setter in your life

So truth be told, I kinda want an iPad…but really only because I’ve seen so many cute cases for them from all the best designers.  When I spotted this MICHAEL by Michael Kors version, I nearly melted.  The python print jet set case is oh so chic and also functionally padded with premium leather and a soft layer to protect your iPad.  And, as someone who cracked her last iPhone, I can say that padding is crucial.
