True life: I’m in love with lace-up heels.
Ever since seeing the Alaia pair from several years ago on the feet of every
street style star from New York to Paris, I’ve coveted some for myself.
Unfortunately, the Alaias are nowhere to be found on Ebay, and other brands
iterations are just not as cute. Thankfully (well, thanks to the fashion gods),
I discovered Aquazzura’s resort shoe collection in both November’s Marie Claire
and Harper’s Bazaar. Available at Saks and Shop Bop, this expensive but not
outrageous shoe line is just what I’ve been looking for. Some of the best
lace-ups I’ve seen. Now, just to save my money and patiently wait for resort to
hit stores…
I’ve been lusting after Jennifer
Fisher’s jewelry for years, her make-your-own charm necklaces and slightly
morbid charms are unique and perfect for everyday wear. Now that she is a
CFDA/Vogue fashion fund finalist, I expect her pieces to be popping up at
stores all over. While I save up for the perfect charm necklace, spider
bangles, and several of her super cool rings, (probably for the next few years),
check out her pieces at her appointment-only SoHo boutique or Barney’s Co-Op
stores nationwide.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it
again: I’m obsessed with dry shampoo. High to low, I’ve tried them all. Just a
few days ago, unpacking my mammoth beauty product collection into my new
bathroom shelving, I unearthed this gem. While I later found out its quite
pricey ($32 a can), it is easily one of the best I’ve used. It’s a spray powder
that mattifies, and really stretches your blowout for a few extra days.
Sachajuan is a Swedish brand that is carried at salons, I recently saw their
products and Fox + Boy Salon on Mulberry Street when I got a hair cut.
I believe in beauty
destiny. What does that mean you, ask? Well, if I read about a certain product in
multiple publications, see it on Youtube, have it pop up on Facebook and on
some of my favorite blogs, then I am meant to own it. The latest product to
find its way into my hands via “beauty destiny”? Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain
in Gothic, which is not even a new launch so if I’m reading so much about it,
it must be amazing. And it is.
After storming the Duane Reade across the street and finally finding the
only Gothic stain on the furthest reaches of the shelf, I’d say I worked hard
for it, too. This dual-sided lip marker in a deep cherry red is ideal on its
own for a Snow-Whiteish stain (with just a touch of mascara and dewy skin to
modernize), or layered underneath a deeper red lipstick to extend lasting power
and darken the tone.
My Custom Bedding
I saved the best for last. When I was in Delhi in April, I went to an amazing fabric bazaar and went a littttttle crazy. Well, not that crazy if you consider I spent under $100 and got stunning wedding sari fabric that would go for far more here. As I was frantically buying it, I came up with a plan: I would make it into bedding. Mostly since I don't have any fabulous events coming up to wear custom made gowns to (that would have been nice). So, I found a woman who created a duvet cover and some pillows for me. There are still a few more coming, but I'm so happy with how they turned out!
I'm now on Tumblr. Check it out here:
Have you ever tried fiber lashes by Younique? You would LOVE them! They give you the fake lash look with a mascara application. <3
