CHANEL’s Newest Nailpolish Sensation

Over the years, CHANEL has come out with a slew of cult favorite nail shades…I mean, does anyone else remember the black and mint green trends?  The next big thing?  Denim-inspired color.  The word is out that the fashion mega brand will launch three new blue shades on September 8th (in stores and on CHANEL.com) and they’re limited edition, e.g. only available until the end of September!

Barneys New York Partners with Lady Gaga to create GAGA’S WORKSHOP!

News flash – two of my favorite things, Lady Gaga and Barneys New York, have teamed up to create Barneys 2011 Holiday campaign, GAGA’S WORKSHOP!  The unique collaboration with Lady Gaga will bring  together the talent of several artists including Eli Sudbrack and Lady Gaga’s own Fashion Director, Nicola Formichetti.  For the first time ever, Barneys will convert an entire floor of its Madison Avenue flagship into a dedicated space for the holiday initiative, starting in mid-November.

What I’m super interested in will be the selection of small gift items that Gaga designed along with Nicola Formichetti where 25% of sales will be donated to a charity of Gaga’s choice – what a great holiday gift.  I seriously can’t wait to check this out when I go back to New York for Christmas this year.

This Week’s Online Shopping Haul

Once again, my wallet had a mind of it’s own.  Here’s what I bought this week and can not wait to receive!

Banana Republic The Mad Men Collection animal print cardigan: I obviously love leopard, when done right, but after reading all of the great blog coverage this new collection has been getting, I needed to won a piece for myself.

Old Navy Crochet Cross Front Wedges: I was reading one of my favorite blogs, SkinnyPurse.com, and came across a great “summer uniform” story that my friend Andrea wrote.  I’ve been looking for a new black wedge for awhile now and I’m thinking these are exactly what I’ve been looking for.

From Italy, With Love purse: You can seriously find the best things on Etsy.  I’m pretty obsessed with these little change purses – the artist uses real letters from Italy and prints them onto vintage sheets to make these. Obsessed.

Missoni for Target (because everyone else is doing it!)

Missoni for Target, it’s the hot topic of the week!  I’ll admit, I’m always intrigued by the Target diffusion lines but necessarily always impressed (at least not since my navy Anna Sui for Target dress of 2009).  BUT, this new Missoni for Target line…yeah, it looks pretty impressive.  I’m hearing friends whisper about how they’re lining up at 6 am at the West Hollywood location…but me?  I don’t know if I have that kind of dedication.  If I did, here’s what I’d snag (available September 13):


I don’t even live on the west side (e.g the area of LA where people actually ride beach cruisers) but I still, obviously, want this.

Kate Somerville Neck Tissue Repair Cream

You know how there’s one common family trait that you notice every single time you see your family? Mine would be turkey neck.  My Dad now has it, his sisters have it, my grandmother had it…and I used to think it was inevitable for me.  But you know what?  I know for a fact that none of them tried to be preventative about it…which is where Kate Somerville Neck Tissue Repair Cream with Peptide K8 comes in.

The new anti-aging cream includes peptides that help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while proprietary ingredients work together to increase elasticity and improve skin tone.  I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in firmness which, for me, will be the biggest tell of turkey neck!

Gavert Atelier Salon

If you read my blog, you know how much I love to try all of the best salons in Los Angeles and Gavert Atelier in Beverly Hills is no exception.  I was kind of sick of the darker blonde I’d been sporting so I decided to go back to my lighter shade, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.  The service at Gavert Atelier was exceptional and the colorist really listed to what I wanted to change, which is always appreciated and, believe it or not, sometimes rare in a colorist.  So I’m back to lighter blonde for now but we’ll see what happens in another month or so 😉
