Barney’s New York and NARS Pre-Fall Celebration at Soho House West Hollywood

I will never say no to a party at Soho House. Plain and simple.  Add in one of the most decadent stores ever (Barney’s New York) and one of the best makeup brands of all time (NARS) and there’s not even any room for negotiation.  Barney’s and NARS partnered to celebrate the pre-Fall collections and guests were treated to an amazing Q&A with Francois Nars himself and Barney’s Fashion Director, Amanda Brooks.

The event was held in one of Soho House’s private rooms and we got to listen to Francois discuss his vision for the brand as well as hear Amanda discuss Fall 2011 fashion trends like rich burgundy’s, greens, teals, lady-like details and unconventional hemlines. And hint, pointy toe heels are definintely back.  I’m also loving the NARS pre-Fall makeup collection (pictured above) because how amazing and rich are those colors?  The blue eyeshadow is seriously intense, in a good way.

Not the best photo but NARS makeup artists where available for touch-ups and I attempted what I like to call “the starter bold lip” using NARS “Manhunt” lipstick, which I’m now obsessed with.

The Monday Rundown

Tobias Wong’s The Times of New York Candle: There’s something very old-school classy about reading a newspaper. This New York Times-inspired candle mimics the scent of newsprint and I’m totally obsessed. Act quickly, this candle is limited-edition.

Robyn Rhodes “Naomi” Earrings: These are supper summery and fun. I love the outer stitching and how you can make them match practically anything.

M.A.C Cosmetics SemiPrecious Mineralize Eye Shadow in “Unsurpassable”: I used to be so confused when I’d see all these colors swirled together and wonder how exactly they translate to any kind of shade on the skin. M.A.C has done an amazing job coming up with all sorts of fantastic color combos, my fave being this green/grey/purple combo.

Milk With Sprinkles: This is so simple yet so brilliant. What better way to encourage yourself (or kids) to get that extra calcium boost we all need?

The Monday Rundown

Last week I debuted “The Monday Rundown” with my latest dress obsession and a birthday cake in a jar among other delights.  This week I’ve put together a list that I think just might top the last.

Rebecca Minkoff Foxy Cut-Out shoes: These immediately caught my eye, for obvious reasons.  The photo actually doesn’t even do them justice because you can’t really see that the wedge is actually cut out.  LOVE. 

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: If you read the new issue of Lucky magazine, then you saw my girl Maura’s rave review of this stuff.  She’s not lying.  As I’ve said a million times, I’m so not a lipstick person…but this Lip Cream truly is an amazing hybrid between gloss and ‘stick.

Pier 1 Blue Terracotta Frame: I’ve always been a sucker for a gorgeous picture frame.  I really love the color of this one and the unique design makes it a great birthday or hostess gift for a friend.

Flowerpot Cakes: Like I mentioned in the last Monday Rundown, I have a weird obsession lately with unique cakes.  This one is awesome because it actually looks like a flowerpot and would probably fool most people.  Oh Martha, you’ve done it again.

MAC Cosmetics Bloggers’ Obsessions Collection

I heard some delightful news today! MAC Cosmetics partnered with nine beauty bloggers, (including friends like Amber, Lianne, Karen and Christine), to create their own eyeshadow or lipglass, which are being sold exclusively online.  Personally, I’m way into pretty much the entire blogger collaboration collection but I’m most looking forward to Christine’s “Jealousy Wakes,” which is this crazy green eyeshadow that looks like St. Patrick’s Day and Karen’s “Evolution Revolution,” which is a pretty pinky peach lipglass.  The collection will be available on MacCosmetics.com only starting June 21.

Elizabeth Grant Light Up Your Lips Gloss

So I’m really picky when it comes to lipgloss.  And why not?  There are a trillion different kinds to choose from so why settle?  Well I recently tried Elizabeth Grant Light Up Your Lips Gloss and now I have a new favorite.  Moisturizing Torricelumn makes lips appear fuller and smoother and I love a good high-pigment gloss that is NOT sticky.  There’s also an LED light in the wand of the gloss with a small mirror attached so you can apply on-the-go.  Loving it.

Pure Glamour With YSL Volupte Sheer Candy

So these are seriously the most glamorous lipsticks IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.  What is it, you ask?  YSL Volupte Sheer Candy.  I’ve blogged before about how much I adore these lipsticks, and people, I don’t even like lipstick.  It’s the packaging.  I feel like a genuine lady when I put this on.  The Sheer Candy line will hit Sephora in just a few days (May, to be exact) and in everywhere else in June for $30.
