The Monday Rundown

S’Mores: I’ve always loved S’mores and guys, sometimes I make them in my apartment.  In my gas fire place.  Don’t tell anyone.

West Elm Zigzag Floor Pouf: I clearly have a thing for black and white…and lately, also anything chevron.  I love this floor pouf.

NUANCE Salma Hayak Hydrating Balm Rose Petal: I love a good all-purpose balm.  This one, by Salma Hayak, has shea butter and primrose, both good stuff for your skin and amazing for hydration.

Tory Burch Woven Rope Bracelet: I saw this bracelet the other day while I was returning something to the Robertson Blvd. store.  I had already decided on a new wallet but I’ve now got this fab bracelet on my mind…the photo doesn’t even do it justice!  The blue is an amazing cobalt shade and it’s patent material.  LOVE.

Free Rides at New York Fashion Week!

If you’re going to New York Fashion Week this year, you should totally take advantage of the free rides from U by Kotex!  Alas, I am NOT going…and honestly, I’m pretty happy about it.  I’ve been traveling way too much and I’m looking forward to relaxing.  Also, I just found out that I’m going to be attending the Grammys (and the after party) so stay tuned for photos.

Clicquot in the Snow Beauty Survival Kit

For the past two summers, my friends and I have attended the Veuve Clicquot polo match in LA (and loved it) so when I found out that Veuve partnered with Fresh skincare, I immediately thought “that’s pure genius.”  This survival kit has all your winter skincare needs – the Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15, the famous Soy Face Cleanser (!), Brown Sugar Hand Cream and a few other goodies that are best-sellers in the Fresh line.  The only downside is that it doesn’t come with a mini bottle of champagne!  Check it out starting today (February 1st) at Fresh.com.

Inspired By: Pippa Middleton

First off, I have to say that I’m so not into the whole Royal Wedding thing.  However, since people basically style stalk Kate and Pippa, sometimes I’m forced into reading blog posts about them and sure, sometimes I like their outfits.  I’ve been in a bit of a fashion slump lately and feeling less than inspired…but when I saw this recent photo of Pippa Middleton, I was like “hey, that’s actually a really cute and easy outfit.”  Here’s how to get it:

MANGO Foulard scarf; $35

Bloomingdale’s Aqua blazer; $98

Sole Society Abby Wedge Bootie; $40

Express High-Waist Banded skirt; $60

Currently Using (And Loving)

 

Moroccan Oil: This stuff has been a beauty industry staple, and I’ve had my bottle since the beginning.  But it’s only now that I’ve been consistantly using this stuff and guys, it is good.  Not only is the smell of this amazing (it is) but my ends are sleeker and easier to tame.

Lancome Flash Bronzer Anti-Age: I’ve blogged about this line before so I was elated when I found out they’re now making a face version that has SPF 15!  Lancome is just amazing and aside from the SPF, this self tanner doesn’t actually smell like a self tanner.  It has hints of jasmine and honey – two of my favorites.

Tarte Maracuja Blush & Glow: I’m a sucker for a two in one, always.  I love the way this tints my cheeks but here’s a secret – I also use it as a quick bronzer when I’m too lazy to use my Lancome (above).

Gift Guide: What to get your 3 year old nephew

Today is my nephew Mark’s 3rd birthday.  I can’t imagine anything else bringing so much joy to my life; he is truly the best thing my sister has ever given me and, being that he’s the only little one in my life, I am constantly one-upping my sister and parents when it comes to giving him gifts.  Here’s what I went for this year, which, is especially awesome since he’s finally at an age where he really understands and appreciates his gifts.

Next up: a real life meet and greet with iCarly.  I’m not kidding…how LA am I right now?

Kiwi Crate: My friend Devon told me about this awesome company.  They create fun craft projects for kids and then mail them directly to each child.  My Markie loves getting mail AND loves art projects so I signed him up for a 3 month membership.

Dylan’s Candy Bar Sugar Free Candy Mix: What kid doesn’t love candy?  I decided to do my sister a favor and get the sugar-free version as to not send him off into a sugar high rage.

The Children’s Place Skull Socks: There are no words for how cute these are. Win.

The Children’s Place Canvas Fedora: My nephew is quite fashionable and so I know that he’ll love this canvas fedora, especially when it gets hot and the New York summer sun comes out.
