Tuesday Web Candy: Hurricane Sandy Edition

I know I’m totally off my game right now with blog posts…but honestly, it just felt a little wrong with everything that’s happened on the east coast. As you all know, I’m a born-and-raised New Yorker and my entire family (BOTH sides) live in the Long Island/Manhattan/Westchester area so naturally, I’ve spent the last week worrying about everyone, and engrossed in social media, where I’ve been obsessing over all the photos of damaged lives. I don’t want this post to be too depressing but the fact of the matter is, New York (and many other areas) is devastated from this hurricane. Thankfully, all of my friends and family seem to be ok and had minimal damage, compared to some, but it’s things like this that really make you stop and think “what if”? Here’s my special Tuesday Web Candy in honor of Hurricane Sandy victims and, p.s., don’t forget to VOTE!

My new motto.

Done and done.

Halloween costume #1: “the maid” from American Horror Story…minus the red hair. Oops.

Halloween costume #2: Teenage Honey Boo Boo…which really ended up just being “white trash.”

Diane Von Furstenberg & Evian: a collab I can get behind

I know, I know…every designer has partnered with a non-fashioney brand but I’m really into this collaboration because one, DVF is amazing and two, I love me some Evian. Diane Von Furstenberg & Evian have partnered to design the latest limited edition bottle which reflects a playful celebration of life and features a nod to DVF’s iconic mantras with “Water is Life is Love is Life is Water is…” which graces the bottle with her own distinct handwriting along with the ubiquitous heart DVF logo in a special hue of red, created exclusively for the Evian collaboration.

The bottle, composed of 100% recyclable packaging, is sealed with evian’s new screw cap design. The DVF Limited Edition 750ml bottle will be available in the US at www.shop.evian.us at $7.99 per bottle.

Inspired By: The Seasons

Philosophy Candy Cane Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath: The smell of candy cane is obviously synonymous with winter and the holidays. This all-in-one product smells like your childhood.

L’Occitane Lavender Hand Cream: Lavender exudes spring and all things floral and colorful after a few months of dreary, cold weather. Your hands probably need the moisture.

The Body Shop Coconut Milk Body Lotion: What trees grow on the beach? Palm trees. And what grows on palm trees? COCONUTS. It’s a main ingredient in sunscreen and all things summer.

June Jacobs Perfect Pumpkin Peeling Enzyme Masque: Pumpkin is a staple ingredient for a TON of beauty products since it has a ton of benefits for your skin. This peel is fantastic; it won’t dry you out and my face feels fresh and rejuvenated after using it.

The Monday Rundown

Really, I’m kind of laughing at myself right now because I wrote this post yesterday, as I usually do, but I accidentally forgot to hit “publish.” Uh huh. So here’s The Monday Rundown, at 8:30pm PST. xo

Glitter pumpkins: I feel like pumpkins are really having a moment this year. In fact, I’ll be posting a cool pumpkin DIY link in tomorrow’s Tuesday Web Candy, so stay tuned. BTW- Pier1 is selling all their Halloween stuff at 50% off.

Kate Spade Play Hooky iPad Case: I’ve always LOVED the phrase “playing hooky” and IF I had an Ipad, IF, I would totally own this case.

Chocolate covered strawberries: One of my favorite snacks of all time. ALL TIME. And so easy to make.

LUSH Shine So Bright: My ends have been a little dry and brittle lately so when I was introduced to this tiny balm, I was excited to try it. It really does hydrate my ends but doesn’t make this stiff or sticky. I like it.

Cocktail Alert: Bride of Frankenstein Martini

Halloween cocktails are always so fun and creative. I just tried out this delish vodka martini and, as if you didn’t already need a reason to drink, (BELVEDERE)^RED(i.e. the vodka to use) donates 50% of the profits of sale benefit HIV/AIDS programs in Africa. Here’s how to create the cocktail at home:
