As some of you know, I had the treat of walking in a runway show in June for Kaboodle’s five year anniversary celebration, hosted at Internet Week in NYC. This involved working closely with Kaboodle and Bloomingdale’s to create a look inspired by one of the winning style boards in a contest Kaboodle hosted the weeks leading up to the event. Lucky for me, I got to work with one of my favorite style boards (above on the left) designed by Kaboodle user Sarah08Pig (nice work, girl!).

Little black dress, sparkles, lace, pearls…yes please! To make this ultra glam party look work with my own personal style, which is usually a hybrid of two distinct types of looks (e.g. boho-preppy), I decided to Read the rest of this entry »

In honor of the third of anniversary for I Heart Heels, creator Julie Wax asked 10 bloggers to show how they wear their favorite heels. I was flattered to be asked to participate and of course, had no hesitations about which shoes to wear – my Miu Miu Swallow Satin Platform Pumps.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month starts tomorrow, October 1. I’ve seen a lot of cool charitable things from brands, but am especially appreciative of Ralph Lauren for giving me a chance to become part of its efforts. As part of Polo Ralph Lauren’s global initiative to support breast cancer awareness, the company has teamed up with 100 bloggers to style and sport looks rocking the Pink Pony. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Pink Pony Fund, which has raised over $40 million to fight cancer in 13 different countries. Having seen loved ones affected by the illness, this cause is very special to me and I was beyond thrilled to participate. I kept my look pretty preppy as you can see, with a grey Jesica Milton circle skirt, black pumps with scrunchy socks and my favorite cashmere pashmina.

A lot of my favorite bloggers also got involved. AOL StyleList is featuring all 100 in a special photo gallery here. Check them out! I would love to know your favorite looks!

In addition to 100 bloggers wearing the Pink Pony, Ralph Lauren is also Read the rest of this entry »

Avon has dominated the beauty category on a global level whether salon products like the Advanced Techniques lotus shield (best frizz control product) or the increasingly popular among my generation, mark makeup line. Awhile back I was invited to an Avon summer preview, so naturally, without looking too much into the invite, I assumed it’d be new beauty products. Upon arriving to the Avon showroom, I was welcomed by a pleasant surprise – a room full of summer dresses, jewelry, accessories and shoes!

Now, if your only experience with Avon is through your mom or grandma, you might expect the clothes to target an older demographic….not in this case! They sent guests home with an adorable boho maxi dress, gold cuffs, earrings and a summer tote. Check out the dress and some of the jewelry: Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday night I had the pleasure of stopping by Fenton Fallon in NYC, an amazing little boutique tucked away on the Lower Eastside in Freeman’s Alley. Hosted by owner and creator of Fenton Fallon, Dana Lorenz, guests walked in to find tables full of chains, pendants, spikes and sparkly strands…aka a DIY paradise.

I was super exhausted from the flight into NYC via red eye earlier in the day, but the intimate charm and beats from DJ Belle Du Jour (aka India Jewel Jackson, also with Glam.com) helped me perk up and get my creative on right away. The special cocktails from U’Luvka Vodka and Cookies.com treats also paid homage to a room full of stylish, happy girls. Check out how I did and all the photos after the jump.
