Rachel Zoe Launches Debut Jewelry Collection

Rachel Zoe is undoubtably a force in today’s fashion world and she just launched (on Tuesday afternoon!) her first jewelry collection at Neiman Marcus, featuring bold, statement pieces – all of which I’m obsessed with.  My favorites (pictured above)?

Rhinestone Black Quartz Tassle Earrings: They’re very vintage-inspired and I’m a big fan of the gold and black combo.

Long Tassle-End Necklace: SUCH a statement piece.  Enough said.

Green Quartz Drop Earrings: You already know about my jade obsession so it’s no surpirse that I love these earrings.

Coach ColorTag – you could win a gift card!

I’ve always loved Coach and over the years they’ve done some really fun and innovative campaigns that I can really get behind.  They just launched ColorTag to celebrate their new, colorful, Legacy Collection and are giving away more than 100 gift cards (ranging from $100 to $500) that will appear to my readers at random!

For a chance to win, just share the above on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. (roll your mouse over the green image)– I chose JADE as my color of choice.  Remember, “chic is where you find it.”  Here’s my Jade inspiration:

Kenneth Jay Lane Coral and Jade Cocktail Ring: I love the color combo and who doesn’t love a cocktail statement ring?

Amanda Rudley “Lollies” Emerald Jade Jawbreaker Earrings: These remind me of a pair of clip-on jade earrings that my Grandmother gave me when I was little.  They’re very vintage looking and I love the boldness of the stone.

Coach Leather Legacy Mini Crossbody: I love a bag with a pop of color and crossbody bags are so fun and wearable.

I usually go for alcoholic summer drinks, as in margaritas, mimosas and other types of spiked juices.  BUT, being that I’m going all healthy again (starting today!), I’m loving these KIRSCH POPS recipes from wellness guru, David Kirsch.  David created these recipes and, besides being delicious, they give you your daily dose of vitamins or even hangover detox.

– 8 ounces coconut water

– Blend or shake well.  Pour into ice pop maker and freeze

 

Detox Pop

Olympic Beauty

Butter London The Heavy Medal Collection: It’s pretty much the winner’s circle…and I love it.  Gold, Silver and Bronze your nails up while the games are on.

Sephora by OPI “USA! USA!” Jewelry Top Coat: Red, white and blue…in a bottle.  All at once.  I also love the name that makes you just want to CHANT.

Stila “Lovely In London” Travel Palette: Though it’s not technically made for the Olympics, I’m loving the London theme of this palette and it contains everything you need (makeup-wise) while going to the games.

COVERGIRL 2012 London Olympic Games Collection: This limited-edition collection boasts the trademark Olympic rings, along with the P&G logo, and is available at mass retailers nationwide.

AND, for Olympic ring-inspired nails, Fashionista has a good how-to HERE.

The Monday Rundown

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray: It’s totally a California summer thing but lately I’ve been really into the beach hair look.  Bumble & Bumble makes the go-to product to get those surfer girl waves.

Beveled Glass Jewelry Box: I love the idea of showing off your prized jewels.  I’d use this particular jewelry box to house some of the nicer pieces that I own, but don’t necessarily wear as much.

J. Crew Woven Bangle: I love, love the three different textures in this gold bangle…you can never go wrong with accessories from the Crew.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Truffle Oil: I found this recipe a few weeks back and have made it oh..about four times now, lol.  It’s delicious and super easy.

Reader Question: Vacation Makeup

 

Question: Hi Jamie!  I’m going to Hawaii…I like to wear makeup but don’t want to look done up.  What are my options?

“D”


Hi “D”!

Great question because that’s something that every girl struggles with, especially if you have problem skin (like most of us do).  Here are my top picks:

L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Clear Self-Tanning Gel: Honestly, the easiest way to avoid wearing makeup is to “perfect” your skin…and going a shade or two darker is the best way to camoflauge imperfections.  I’d self-tan the night before you leave (after showering, shaving and scrubbing) to prep your skin.

ARCONA REOZONE 40: You can’t forget the SPF (cause I won’t let you!)!  ARCONA makes several good SPF products that are broad-spectrum (protects you from both UVA and UVB rays) and are also suitable for all skin types.

Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20: A tinted moisturizer is your best bet as far as foundation while on vacation at the beach.  This Tarte version is super light, goes on smooth and provides just enough coverage…bonus for the additional SPF 20.

Maybelline Volum’Express The Falsies Waterproof mascara: A little waterproof (very important!) mascara is just enough to make your eyes pop…no eyeshadow or eyeliner necessary in the sand.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15: This lip treatment is standard issue in the beauty world.  I love that it’s super moisturizing (again, with SPF) and also provides a light hint of color.

Have so much fun on your trip!

xo,

Jamie
