What We're Wearing February 14th, 2014

Today I'm wearing Chantecaille Supreme Cils Mascara. I have a small one, so I just keep it in my bag all the time. It goes on beautifully and isn't at all clumpy - and totally, completely waterproof. This mascara goes from day to night perfectly - my eyes don't look too overdone or like I'm wearing fake lashes, yet they look longer, thicker, darker, and overall more defined.

This mascara is worth the investment, I promise.

Nope, still not out of my winter all-I-ever-wear-is-a-huge-coat slump. Get back to me in a few weeks. We’re almost there. At least I hope so. I swear if I see one more flake of snow, I’ll scream. (According to the forecast, I have some blowing out my vocal cords to do.)

Instead of sharing what I’m wearing in a personal shot format, I give you what other people are wearing in a personal shot format. As I sit here at boring old work, I look back on more fun times. Times filled with people wearing things I like and other people wearing tuxedos giving me champagne. That’s right, here are some of my favorite moments from NYFW. We’re not done with our coverage, oh no. But these are some favorites from shows and parties.

From the Peter Pilotto X Target party:

From the Vince IPO party at Le Bain:

From the Delpozo show, aka my dream, from which more coverage is to come next week, so stay tuned!

Valentine's Day Beauty Buys

Forget flowers and chocolates, I want beauty products! Flowers are cheap and I can buy them for myself and chocolates will make you fat. Beauty products will not make you fat, they will make you happy and beautiful. So text your boyfriend, mom and friends, a link to this post and get ready to be thrilled!

What's on the top of my Valentine's Day wish list? It would have to be the Kissu Kit by Tatcha. Okay, fine, it does have some candy - but don't worry, totally not as fattening as chocolate. I didn't say you couldn't have a little treat, I said you can't eat an entire heart shaped box of chocolates. Their Gold Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm sounds amazing and I need to try it RIGHT NOW.

What could possibly scream Valentines Day more than heart shapes on your nails? 

Shiny, pink lips are exactly what you need for date night. For that matter, they are what you need everyday.

There is nothing sexier than smelling irresistible. I always spray some perfume on myself before a big date. But, don't go crazy, there is nothing less sexy than going overboard on perfume.


Have an amazing Valentine's Day!

Effortless, Glamorous Cool at Son Jung Wan FW14

Saturday I attended the FW14 show for Son Jung Wan. Son Jung Wan is a New York line by way of Korea, and good heavens, is it gorgeous. I hadn’t been 100% familiar with its distinctive look before, but I’m so glad I am now, and I’m hooked. Glamour just flows from these designs – but not in an over-the-top, dancefloor-only kind of way that glamour so often comes in. It’s more of an effortless, intrinsic glamour, coming from ensembles that are so cool, ever so slightly edgy, insanely-beautifully tailored and polished. And, of course, there are some dancefloor-ready pieces, too.

From my seat, I had a perfect view of the backs of the looks, too, which I was actually thrilled about - I got to see how much detail also went into the back, really carrying through the line's quality as well as its drama. I have to mention, too - the models wore gold glittered lipstick, and it looked sick. I need gold glittered lipstick - and somewhere to wear it.

Rochambeau Fall/Winter 2014

The Fall/Winter 2014 collection of Rochambeau is their best yet. Laurence Chandler and Joshua Cooper were inspired by underground car racing, motor-cross and demolition derby. Their show at Milk Studios was super high energy - one of the most fun shows I've seen. With flashing lights, smoke (making you feel like you were at a race track, without the exhaust scent) and confetti.

Centered around a damaged, crushed car, the models owned the runway.

The clothing was racy (excuse the pun), yet ready to wear, with pieces suitable for any man.

The white trophy positioned on top of the car was waved and lifted into the air - exemplifying this winning show, you couldn't help but cheer.
