Beauty Buzz | Haute Pink Lips

I love this look on Kim Kardashian because it's basically the look I have been wearing for years. I knew that one day haute pink lips would be trendy. In any case I get my perfect pink pout with Dior lipstick in 475 topped off with Dior kiss lipgloss in Hawaii Coco. Troy Jensen used Nars products for Kim's look, you can view his breakdown of this look on his blog here. Dare to try haute pink lips this season?

Leave it to Stila to create yet another must-have beauty item. Known for their fun colors and innovative multi-tasking formulas, Stila's smudge pots and lip glazes have earned the company a loyal following. Not to be outdone with their fabulously helpful talking eye palettes, they've recently come out with a product that speaks to both my beauty obsessed and geeky personalities! The Stila makeup player can be described as a train case, sound system and your own private makeup artist all in one. Just download the how-to videos from Stila, load them up onto your iPod Touch (or any other video compatible player), plug it into the makeup player and follow along with the step by step tutorials. The makeup player also comes with some of Stila's best selling items: the One Step Makeup Foundation, and Eye Shadow Trio & #7 Eye Shadow Brush, Convertible Color for cheeks and lips, and their Lip Glaze in Grapefruit.

How to Wear it | Brian Atwood's "Mania Strass" Pumps




Worth nothing less than an ever-so-glam red carpet event, Brian Atwood's multi colored swarovski studded pumps at most definitely a work of art. The undeniably gorgeous shoes are however, extremely hard to work into an outfit with crossing that fine line between fabulous and hideous. Less is more is the mantra to work with when trying to pull off an outfit with these shoes - worn with a simple black dress and a black clutch can do the trick in this case to look effortlessly chic, yet still sexy and fun.

They come in 12 ultra sophisticated colors and the best part about these fabulous totes is that you can literally fold them up and store them in a smaller bag or suitcase.

Velixa | Fashion's Coveted Anti-aging Skin Care Line

I recently came across Velixa, the coveted high-end anti-aging skin care line sought after by the super elite and fashion models. The line currently offers Age Defense for Day, a light whipped day lotion, and Youth Replenish for Night, a decadent moisturizing night cream for overnight renewal. Both products are made from the most luxurious and scientifically proven ingredients that work effectively to tighten and illuminate your skin right after application. With daily use, the whipped day lotion and night cream are proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and signs of aging.

This instantaneous effect of illuminated, firm skin, coupled with the proven, long lasting anti-aging results (that start to appear within seven days of using Velixa), have made it a must have for models in New York, Paris and Milan. Makeup artists are known to apply Velixa before photo shoots and runway shows to make skin taut and radiant, resulting in flawless pictures.

I use both Velixa day lotion and night cream daily. The day lotion makes a great base for makeup while protecting and rejuvenating my skin during the daytime. I have incorporated the decadent night cream into my nighttime beauty regimen and I wake up with refreshed, glowing and firm skin. Both products are truly irreplaceable. It used to be that the Velixa line was only available in exclusive salons and spas. However, they are now available to women around the globe via Velixa.com. Like their motto says, “Live now. Age later.”

Style Guide | How To Wear Sequined Dresses

I've always worn sequined embellished dresses, I guess the world has finally caught onto this fabulous detailing (it took a few seasons to really come through to high street) which makes everything look a little more fabulous. I recommend pairing sequined dresses with more subtle pieces like a cashmere boyfriend sweater for a more sophisticated take on this flashy trend. The featured dress is the Wiviana dress by Paul and Joe the cozy cardigans are the Chelsea jumpers by Crumpet. Shine on!

Smokey purple eyes are in call this season. I love this look because it's flattering on all women and sophisticated yet playful. I like to create my purple smokey eye looks using Estée Lauder's new fall line of amazing purple shadows.
Two of my favorite Estée Lauder shadows to create this look are are Amethyst Metallic (shimmery plum) and Onyx Matte (opaque black). I also love this great video tutorial which will help you achieve this haute look at home.

First Look at Jimmy Choo for H&M Women & Menswear



I remember reading and simultaneously posting about this god-sent collaboration. I remember gasping in awe when I saw the only officially released picture. And I'm sure, I will remember for quite a while, taking a look at the Jimmy Choo sneak peak and mentally listing the pieces I'd want to purchase.

When these glorious pieces land in stores on November 14th, everyone will have a piece of high-end luxury. No, not just fab shoes for the upcoming, super busy party season, but also accessories and clothes to go with them. Can we say "heaven sent"?

The collection is overflowing with studs, animal prints, crystal and patent, patent, patent. And guess what else? You can buy your boyfriend something chic from the menswear line, as well! Yep, they're launching one.
