Tory Burch Foundation CD

So one of my favorite New York designers, Tory Burch, recently put out an A-MAZING music CD last month- it’s her second limited edition compilation CD and it features some of Tory’s favorite songs of all time. Did you know music is a big passion of hers? The best part is that 100%, yes I said 100%, of the proceeds benefit the Tory Burch Foundation’s microfinance partner Accion USA. I’m especially loving “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” by Wyclef Jean, “Bigmouth Strikes Again” by The Smiths and “Sideways” by Santana and Citizen Cope. Pick one up here, get some music and do some good. Oh, and while you’re at it, check out my interview with Tory from back in January.

TheLuxurySpot.com launches a DEALS page!

So one of my favorite websites, TheLuxurySpot.com, just launched a new DEALS page and I couldn’t be more ecstatic. First up? a $25 brazilian bikini wax and eyebrow threading package (that’s 56% off regular retail price) from New York City’s Hibba Day Spa. Um, I wish I could fly back right now to take advantage of this. The deal ends tomorrow so act fast but be sure to check back to TheLuxurySpot.com/Deals frequently to check out their updates.

Sex and The City 2

So last Thursday I was treated to a fun girl’s night courtesy of SJP NYC, Sarah Jessica Parker’s latest fragrance. My friend Nadine got the opportunity to invite three of her girlfriends to dinner, the movie on opening night, a limo to get there and, best of all, Magnolia cupcakes! We had a great sushi dinner before the 10:30 showing and definitely enjoyed taking the limo cause, let’s face it, LA traffic and parking sucks.

The verdict? Well, we all liked the fragrance SJP NYC but the movie? Ehh. It was entertaining, obviously, but we all agreed that it was way too long and the story was lacking. However, I did find a few great fashion moments.

(My absolute favorite look in the movie- Miranda at Stanford and Anthony’s wedding)

(Only Samantha would wear this at a pool – love it)(Though I absolutely despise the fact that Carrie cheated on her husband only to come home to this black diamond ring by Itay Malkin, I have to admit that I do love it.)

A/X and Elle Night of Disco Glam Hosted by Joe Zee

So last week I attended a fabulous event with the even more fabulous Sydne Summer, the A/X and Elle Night of Disco Glam Hosted by Joe Zee. As soon as we arrived, we saw Gabrielle Union step onto the red carpet and about two seconds later, we saw Rachel Zoe and her assistant Brad scrambling through the crowd to get their turn in front of the paps. The event was definitely eventful…especially after I finally saw Kim Kardashian in real life – the rumors are true. Her butt is HUGE. Check out some photos from the fun night.

Nyx Cosmetics Decade +1 Unveiled party at The Hollywood Roosevelt

So on Tuesday night I attended an a-mazing event at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Pool for Nyx Cosmetics. The makeup mega brand was celebrating their Decade +1 Unveiled anniversary and held a truly Hollywood glam event. I brought my friend Brittany along for the ride as we sipped grapefruit “nyx-tini” cockails by the pool, sampled Nyx Cosmetics and watched Carmen Electra get her picture taken. For me, it was a perfect LA night…combine the pool at The Roosevelt and makeup and this girl can’t get any happier.
