After scouring the blog scene and not finding one that actually “speaks” to me, I decided to start my own. I am a culture obsessed, self-proclaimed beauty junkie, fashion enthusiast, and lover of all things shiny and luxurious. I have varied interested, so this blog will reflect that: fashion, beauty, love and life.
Yesterday was a scorcher in NYC. But, in the 100 degree heat, I managed to make it to the Women’s Mafia Fashionable Friday Beauty & Style Gifting Event held at Arrojo Salon in downtown Manhattan. As soon as I entered, I was immediately drawn to the table of Jeweler & Metalsmith, J. Rudy Lewis, who displayed his new collection on three small tables in the … Continue reading Women’s Mafia Fashionable Friday Beauty & Style Gifting Event

Many people go to bars to enjoy a good cocktail, but one thing the bartender won’t tell you is that the beverage you’re sipping on may have many hidden beauty benefits. Of course you don’t want to try any of the below alcohol inspired beauty treatments when you are actually at the bar surrounded by people. But, in the privacy of your own home you … Continue reading Cocktail Inspired Beauty Treatments
Every woman should have a little black dress (LBD) in her closet, as it is the most versatile, timeless piece of clothing she can own. The perfect LBD is supposed to be something simple that can be dressed up or dressed down for every occasion. But, not all LBD’s are created equal. While it’s most convenient to have one dress that you can makeover, it can also be a good thing to have LBDs in a variety of styles, so that you always have options.
Lunch
Dress down your LBD by keeping your look casual and soft. Wear as little jewelry as possible, but if you do want to accessorize choose a colorful scarf, oversized bag, sunglasses or chunky jewelry. For shoes, do not wear any fancy pumps. You want to keep this look as casual as possible, so opt for ballet flats, flip-flops, or sandals. Top off your look by adding a flower to your hair.

Interview
A Classic black sheath dress is the perfect option for an interview. If you are going to own any kind of LBD, this is the style you should own as it is the most flexible. Pair it with a blazer and simple accessories to dress for success on your interview.

Yesterday I attended a private press preview and luxury shopping extravaganza at Brooklyn Stone Boutique in the Fort Green section of Brooklyn, NY. Founded in September of 2010, the boutique carries one-of-a-kind selections of indie and international fashion and beauty brands. An avid fashion lover, the store’s owner and founder Regina Stone, takes pride in selecting pieces that are high in quality and exclusivity.
Inside the Brooklyn Stone Boutique.
“What’s unique about the store is that everything is bought in limited quantities,” she explains. “You aren’t going to walk down the street and have to worry about seeing someone else wearing one of the pieces.”
You’ll definitely stand out in a crowd when wearing one of these rare international designer pumps.
Of course, I had to find out what is the most sought after item in the store, so that I could make sure to grab one for myself. As it turns out, it’s the jumpsuits, which are so popular; there were none available in the store for me to see, as they had all sold out for the day.
Also unique about the store, is Regina’s presence, as she enthusiastically admits to working hands-on at the boutique daily in every role imaginable, from operating the cash register to assisting customer with selecting items.
Jewelry display case at the boutique
The costs of the items in the store vary greatly, with enough price ranges to fit everyone’s budget: apparel ranges from $40-$250; handbags are in the range of $120-$325, and the jewelry starts as low as $15 and goes up to $200.
Distinctive decorative jewelry available for purchase at the store.
As the Brooklyn Stone Boutique continues to expand, Regina plans on adding more shopping events, expanding the store’s personal shopping service, and even starting her own fashion line.

I then headed next door to the Cake Joy Dessert Lounge, which was founded in December 2010 by Executive Patery Chef Kym Rodgers, who does all of the baking herself on-site, seven days a week, with the assistance of one intern.
I absolutely adore the sea star cuff worn by Spanish journalist Marta Robles at the GQ Elegant Men of the Year Awards held at the Italian Embassy on June 28th in Madrid, Spain. It’s such a beautiful accessory that manages to be simple yet, eye-catching. It’s a festive gem that you can add to your wardrobe this summer as it instantly arouses thoughts of sunshine, … Continue reading “Sea-ing” Stars – Starfish Cuffs
For this 4th of July I decided to show off pride for my country by painting my nails red, white and blue! To accomplish this task, I used the Konad Nail Stamp Art kit. The kit comes with stencil plates, nail polish, rubber stamps and a scraper. What I like about the Konad kit I used is that it allows you to get creative, so … Continue reading 4th of July Nail Art
