Birchbox X Gossip Girl

Although details are still on the down-low, Birchbox is teaming up with Gossip Girl to create a Blair and Serena inspired box of products. Birchbox is a monthly subscription which sends its members a cute box full of sample size beauty items. I’ll admit it, I still love and live for my Monday night Gossip Girl. Blair, Chuck, Serena, I can’t get enough. What’s better than GG inspired make-up and hair products? Nothing, in my opinion. The Gossip Girl Birchbox is to be sent out for May, so subscribe before it’s too late!

Pink and Pouty

Lately I’ve been stalking MAC counters across NYC for a new lipstick. I want something a little crazy, like a matte bubble gum pink that I can wear everyday. I just don’t know what color to chose, I’m so indecisive. I kind of want the Viva la Glam Nicki Minaj color. It’s very pink, with almost peachy undertones. I’m also considering Pink Noveau and St. Germain, although I can’t seem to find it in any store. I keep picking up a color that I think is called “Amplified” but I can’t find it on the internet anywhere. I know MAC has a line of lipsticks called Amplified, but this clearly was the color’s name. I’m probably going to have to bite the bullet and just purchase one and hope it works out.

Saturday Night Chic

Tomorrow night….is Saturday. My best friend is coming up to New York to visit me and tour NYU since she was accepted their for graduate school. We plan on hitting up one of the hottest, most coveted bar/club in the city. I wanted to post what I’m thinking of wearing. This club is for the fashion elite, who’s who, models, press, pr power players and bosses of the city, so I have to be on my A-game fashion-wise. Here’s what I got so far:

  1. Hot Pink H&M Blazer
  2. H&M floral corset top (the one pictured is from Topshop and looks similar to mine)
  3. Black Lace Shorts from Zara
  4. House of Holland suspender tights from Topshop
  5. Black suede-looking wedges from H&M
  6. Pink Noveau lipstick from MAC (contemplating buying to complete this look)

If this all works out, I’ll definitely post pictures from my night out.

BVLGARI

In love with this serpentine watch. It’s so sleek, yet makes a bold statement. It’s my colors (black and gold) and of course finished with lovely diamonds.

New York

Hi, everyone. I know it’s been a while since I last updated but I made the move to New York City to try and pursue my dream of working here full time, and possibly working in fashion. Since I’ve been here I splurged a bit on a few items and I just wanted to share:

Chanel Attraction nail polish, from the Spring 2012 runway. Apparently this is supposed to come out in May but I got it in SoHo.

Celine Fall 2012 RTW

March 4, Paris, Phoebe Philo created the most amazing coats(in addition to a very sporty line) for Celine’s Fall 2012 ready to wear collection. The bright colors paired with a black or navy base really allow each piece to stand out.

Fall Trend: Middle Ages

What if I said that I think the trends for fall will be inspired by the Renaissance and Medieval times? It’s kind of odd, but it can definitely be beautiful. I pulled together a few pieces from different collections that I believe are obviously inspired by the 15th century.

Balmain- these tunics remind me of what a jouster would wear. The embroidered roses serve as a coat of arms.

Carven- The first model wears a skirt with a Medieval painting. The second model wears a jacket that reminds me of stained glass work that would be found in a church. 

Aquilano.Romondi- The show is specifically inspired by the Renaissance, notice the cross motifs and rich fabrics. 

Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012

So obsessed with this huge collection, there are 73 looks and each one of them as beautiful as the next. The Dolce & Gabbana collection was clearly inspired by the Baroque, featuring rich colors, tapestry-like prints, and religious undertones. In my opinion it is on of their best efforts in a long time.
