Because you can’t sip fine wine in the wrong outfit…

May 16, 2012

With summer celebrations in the Hamptons just a few weeks away its time to get our outfits in order. Because you can’t sip wine or champagne in just any old outfit that you pull out of your closet.

Well worry not ladies because Chandon has come to the rescue with a chic solution, an epic collaboration with alice + olivia. This summer from June 1 – Sept. 1, 2012 at www.chandon.com and select retailers you can buy an exclusive Limited Edition American Summer Bottle of Chandon in patriotic red, white and blue. To complement this limited edition bottle of bubbly you can also pick up your very own ultra chic romper from alice + olivia boutiques beginning June 1, 2012.

Chandon is fun flirty and playful, just like a+o. Who wouldn’t feel sexy in this romper when sipping Chandon from their Limited Edition summer bottle? – Stacey Bendet, Designer for alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet

The Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet Limited Edition Romper paired with the Chandon Limited Edition American Summer Bottle seems like the perfect way to kick off a blazing hot summer weekend. I can’t think of a better way to spend a hot summer day than sipping champagne in a cute outfit. Can you?

Looking Polished: Thakoon for NARS in Koliary

April 24, 2012

I recently previewed the new NARS ‘Thakoon’ Nail Polish Spring/Summer 2012 collection, you can take a look at it here. I decided to get a long overdue mani with Koliary, a gorgeous Cyan Blue shade from the collection that reminds me of the Mediterranean Sea! This beautiful color stays true to the shade in the bottle and two coats are enough to give you the exact shade.

For so long I’ve been a neutral girl wearing all of the earth tones that I can find but over the past few months my taste has branched out to include some bolder and brighter colors. What do you think this shade of blue?

NEW! Dior Backstage Adhesive Eyeliner Patches

September 5, 2011

Applying liquid eyeliner is a skill best suited for those with steady hands, not a skill that I possess. So what’s a beauty girl to do when the hottest Fall 2011 trend is the seductive cat-eye look?

Enter the new Dior Backstage Eyeliners-To-Wear Multi-Wear Adhesive Eyeliner Patches. These eyeliner “patches” were carefully crafted by Dior makeup artists and were designed to transfer like a temporary tattoo. The designs range from matte-black to the more decadent, lacquered finish with sparkling Swarovski crystals.

The set includes:

4 pairs of eyeliner patches: 2 black ones, 1 all pasted with anthracite grey crystals, 1 black with white crystals
Small Glue

Directions:

Apply Eyeliners-to-Wear to dry, makeup-free skin.
Gently remove the eyeliner patch from the silicone backing.
Place the patch on the curve of the eyelid, pressing lightly to ensure perfect adhesion. For optimal hold, apply the glue to the back of the eyeliner patches with the foam tip before use. Then, place the patches on the curve of the eyelid.
To remove the patch, simply lift it delicately from the eyelid while holding the outer corner of the eye in place.
After use, return the patch to the silicone backing to store the patch and to maintain its adhesive properties.

These eyeliner patches are exclusively available Beauty Insiders at Sephora and Sephora.com. Will you be picking up a set?
