So I know I’m way behind on this but I JUST watched Lady GaGa’s new video for “Bad Romance.” Ugh, love. Seriously, there are no words. I can not wait to see her on December 19th in San Diego and then again on December 21st in LA!!!!!
So I was lucky enough to attend the launch party for House of Harlow by Nicole Richie for bebe last week at bebe’s Rodeo Drive store in Beverly Hills. The event was fab and the jewelry, even better than expected. The best part about the collection is that Nicole and bebe have created a one-of-a-kind keepsake bracelet that is sold in bebe stores and bebe.com throughout December with 25% of sales donated to the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation. Sadly, Nicole was too sick to attend the launch event but I did manage to spot Nick Verreos, of Project Runway fame and Lou Diamond Phillips, who I most recently watched on my guilty pleasure, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. What did I purchase? The Aztec Necklace in black. Such a statement piece.
So maybe you’ve seen all the buzz on the hottest new brand, PH8? The stores are finally launching nationwide and to make this even better, here are two amazing coupons that you can print out and bring in for discounts! 25% off a coat (if you live somewhere cold) and 25% off a super cute Funnel Dress if you live somewhere a bit warmer! Enjoy.
So I just read this article on People.com and I’m sure that I’m not the only person who isn’t shocked. Taylor Jacobson has left Rachel Zoe, Inc! I’m completely obsessed with the Rachel Zoe Project, as are many, so if you’re also an avid watcher, you know that all Taylor did was basically complain about everything. As annoying as it was was to listen to the constant bitching, it was evident that Taylor IS actually good at what she does. BTW- loooove the coat she wears in the above photo. Here’s what her statement email said:
“After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own.”
So for anyone who didn’t know, I worked at the clothing retail store Mandee my junior year of high school. I had many, many random jobs in high school but I have to say, working at Mandee was one of my favorites. I honestly think that I spent 90% of my paycheck while working…but hey, at least I was getting 30% off. What’s great about Mandee (for a high school student) is that everything there is super trendy AND super cheap…and you have to remember, I was in high school pre-Forever21 so yeah, it was my mecca. Plus, it was closer to my house than the mall. Anywho, I’ll stop ranting about my “glory days” and get to the charitable part.
Mandee has partnered with Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity dedicated to providing shoes to people in need. From November 4th through December 24th, all 120 Mandee stores will be collection donations of gently worn shoes and as a thank you for participating, each customer that donates will receive a 20% off discount coupon towards an item of their choice. Good deal if you ask me! Need more convincing? In addition to collecting shoes, Mandee will also collect $1 donations at the register from any customer that chooses to provide further support to Soles4Souls. Soles4Souls has given away more than 5.5 million pairs of new and gently worn pairs of shoes to-date! Since it’s estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closet, you really have NO excuse. For further information on the campaign and way to donate, visit www.giveshoes.org.
So I attended a supremely awesome event in LA the other night- Gen Art’s 12th Annual Fresh Faces in Fashion. Check out the highlights on TheLuxurySpot.com, where I show you a photo from the coolest runway show ever.
So lately I’m obsessing over Physician’s Formula. I’ve posted about two other products that I absolutely adore and this mascara doesn’t put either of them to shame. Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Mascara is the first ever 100% natural origin mascara where 100% of the total ingredients are of natural origin AND even the mascara brush and packagine are 100% recyclable. Worried that because this product is so natural it might not work well? I worry about that too usually but I’m telling you, this mascara is awesome- even better than some of the non-natural brands that I’ve tried.
