Announcement: I’m a Sole Society Fashion Insider!

So a few weeks ago, I was announced as one of Sole Society’s Fashion Insiders!  If you don’t already know, Sole Society is the brain child of the infamous HauteLook.com and it’s just as fun and fancy.  Basically you take their Style Quiz to discover your Style Bio and personalized selection of designer-quality shoes (and seriously, they are designer-quality).  You then pick your favorite pair from the shoes that are determined right for you and they ship to you for free.  Membership is $49.99 a month, quite the bargain for ANY pair of shoes, AND if you don’t like any of the shoes they have, you can simply just skip the month.  I’ve got two pairs and I’m totally OBSESSED with both of them; they’re incredibly comfortable and super cute.

Make sure to check out the site for some fun quotes from me and, of course, stay tuned for more shoe posts from me.

LUSH Turkish Delight

So I was going through my beauty products the other night for my monthly “oh my god, I have to get rid of some of this stuff” cleanse that I do and I came across an almost-expired container of LUSH Turkish Delight Body Polish.  It was about to be dunzo in a month and since LUSH products are made from tons of natural ingredients, you should take the expiration dates seriously.  I immediately grabbed it and threw it in my shower cause, after all, no beauty product gets left behind.

After the gym tonight I decided to test it out and holy god, I have no words.  As soon as I started slathering it on I immediately smelled the roses, no pun intended.  I mean, there’s something so delicate and fancy about the smell of roses and I left the bathroom feeling a bit English…always a plus.

Shop It To Me’s Unregrettable Evening of Fashion

So I recently attended an “Unregrettable Evening of Fashion” hosted by Whitney Port, American Express and Shop It To Me with my friends Sydne and Kristen.  The event was such a cool concept- everyone received a $50 American Express gift card so they could live-shop on ShopItToMe.com and, as a bonus, everyone was asked to bring one item of clothing to be donated to Beyond Shelter, an LA-based charity.

I took the opportunity to break in my new shoe obsession– an amazing pair of grey zipper booties from Haute Look’s Sole Society!  Stay tuned for a post soon on my affiliation with the new shoe site (hint: I’m a fashion insider!).

note: I hate this photo but the shoes look fabulous and really, that’s all that matters.

OPI Touring America Collection

So in the  summer of 2009 I took my very first cross country road trip as I drove from New York to Los Angeles.  I recently got a pitch with OPI’s newest nail polish line, OPI Touring America Collection, and I was instantly taken back to my amazing journey.  The collection is inspired by Americana and cities with rich cultural heritage.  Cities such as Baltimore, Hollywood, Jackson Hole, New Orleans, New York City and Philly are represented in the polish and my favorites (Left to right): Are We There Yet, French Quarter For Your Thoughts, Get In The Expresso Lane, My Address is Hollywood (obvi).

The collection isn’t available until August 3rd but definitely save-the-date.
