All you fashion buffs and accessories mavens out there already know: Tarina Tarantino makes some of the funnest, edgiest jewelry out there. Her designs have always been a favorite of mine—you know, I STILL lament the fact that I lost my beloved (and charming!) “I Hate You” ring in 2006. (Incidentally, the same year I [...]

May 7, 2013 – 12:47 pm
Today, everyone’s buzzing about all the amazing couture that strutted the red carpet at last night’s Met Gala. And I agree, there were a lot of great looks (my fave: Anja Rubik in Anthony Vaccarello) … but let’s talk about the nails!

Saint Laurent, Old Rockers & Beauty’s Most Unusual Suspects
April 5, 2013 – 1:58 pm
If what Hedi Slimane is doing with Saint Laurent these days has any say in the matter, the resurgence of grunge is now officially a “thing.” Look, the dirty-hair-don’t-care vibe that defined the grunge scene of the early 1990s—flannels over florals, babydolls and biker boots, fake furs and fishnets—falls short of revolutionary for the obvious [...]
Makeup Shakeup: The 2 Products You NEED for Amped-Up Eyes!
March 26, 2013 – 3:03 pm
It goes without saying that new skin care products are awesome, but there’s just something to be said about trying on a new eyeshadow for size. Maybe the instant gratification factor? Anyway, I recently got my hands on two great finds from one of my favorite new brands on blush: Gorgeous Cosmetics. When you paint [...]

February 22, 2013 – 5:23 pm
I’ll admit it: I have issues when it comes to remaining loyal to skin care brands and products. Serious issues. I mean, of course there are a handful of favorites I always go back to. But with so much awesome stuff landing on my desk on a daily basis, how am I supposed to commit [...]

Hi everyone! I told myself (and uh, my boss) that I’d post a blog every day I’m in NYC for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to recap the experience. Well, what a day today was! Five shows—one of which, I had backstage access to see the hair and makeup as it was being created (thanks, Aveda and [...]
Enter to Win: skyn ICELAND and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
February 7, 2013 – 2:09 pm
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is HERE! I’m here too, and yeah it’s freezing for this California girl (even my NYC friends are cold!) but it’s SO exciting. One thing I’ve noticed already in the less than 24 hours I’ve been here is how much of a toll the cold weather takes on one’s skin. When I [...]

January 28, 2013 – 3:35 pm
And NO, it’s NOT gel I’m talking about—I’m talking about this awesome nail polish that Deborah Lippmann has been making for years now. Just so you all know, I got a mani/pedi on Thursday, January 17. My boyfriend and I were leaving for Palm Springs the following morning, and because the news people forecasted—accurately, mind [...]
A Zents-ational (Sorry, Had To) Treat For Your Body
January 8, 2013 – 10:38 am
There are a lot of them out there, but a good body lotion is hard to find. If you’re like me, you have a lengthy list of requirements for these products: it must smell amazing (read: not cheap or teenage-y), it must provide the perfect amount of hydration without any greasiness, and it must not [...]
