Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Take the Weekend

May19

It's the weekend and whether you're enjoying amazing weather (as we are here in NYC) or just loving that you have an entire day ahead of you! A great way to take this day is to head to your nearest rooftop stat for your friend's brunch! Start it off with a fabulous red and white dress available at Free People which is vintage inspired! Pop on a pair of Falchi by Falchi Shoes (I love that there are red and coral strips within this shoe which add a little fun flair). I'm loving this hammered cocktail rin gavailable at Designs by Stephene. I also love adding in this gold plated cuff by Philippe Audibert which adds some pizzaz into the look. Finally, never show up empty handed this Bartenura Moscato is a great way to share with friends!

Fashionable Fridays ~ Rock Sao Paulo

May18

After visiting Macy's yesterday to see how Brasil is a major theme throughout 300 locations, I wanted to bring Sao Paulo within today's post. I started off with a fabulous kaftan by Gold Hawk. I love embroidery and the fact that this is the perfect dress to wear whether it's alone or with shorts underneath it. I imagine that this is perfect to go shopping in and have paired it with the Parceria Carioca Pao de Acucar tote which is available within the Macy's curated Brasil shop. To complete this look, I'm loving the Zoe and Morgan Amethyst cocktail ring which is the perfect amount of bling as well as a stack (of 24) Cara Accessories mixed bangles! Finally, keep it comfy and boho chic with Kickers - these shoes are so comfortable and now you can win a pair as well by visiting our Kitten Lounge Facebook page for your entry!

Trendy Thursdays: Event ~ Brasil - A Magical Journey, Only at Macy's

May17

This morning I headed to Macy's - Brasil A Magical Journey. As many of you know, I am a member of Beauty, Brains and Blogs Network which was created by the Publishers of Cosmopolitan Magazine (loved seeing fellow BBB'ers Shyema of Beauty and the Feast as well as Kristan of Serafino Says and Celebrity Hair Stylist) - but we were here to learn more about Macy's Brasil initiative that is available in 300 stores through July 15th as well as the launch of Cosmopolitan For Latinas which has Zoe Saldano on the cover.

Many of the brands were a number of our faves such as Estee Lauder who created a highly pigmented collection that worked well together. I love that you can take the blush and also use it as eyeshadow as well as mixing it with their gloss to create a dynamic pout! Linda Levy, VP of Marketing of Cosmetics and Fragrances also explained that they also brought in a number of designers that were based in Brasil as in terms of tourists, Brazilians constitute a number of their shoppers and being able to have their favorites in stores would be a great relationship as well as introduction to those that are not familiar.

As an Accessories Expert, I encourage you to visit their shop in store as well as online as I am sure the same care in curation within the beauty categories will also be seen in this area as well as apparel! I also love that they had a number of paintings from Brazilian designers available to purchase! If you're in Herald Square, head to the 9th floor! Leaving with a number of fabulous goodies including a vibrant color blocked tote, Estee Lauder, Shiseido, Dior and more - it's a great way to get summer fresh as well as to bring in the essence of Brasil! I will definitely be taking these along with me for my upcoming appearance on HSN next Friday and to have my makeup artist use some of my new finds!

Trendy Thursdays: Event ~ Dr Loretta Brunch

May17

On a rainy afternoon earlier this week, I headed to Milos for a Beauty Brunch that was hosted by my friend and Social Media Director, Michelle Joni Lapidos of Spa Week Media. The brunch allowed attendees to sit and chat skincare with Miami Beach based Dermatologist, Dr Loretta who has her own practice, a skincare line in her own name as well as a line that does private label for various spas. For those that follow Kitten Lounge on Facebook, you saw a number of my videos popping up talking about how gum (sugarless free is suggested) is great to keep your neck muscles firm, her skincare's innovation with stem cells that contain lavendar as well as other information regarding African Americans and the types of peels that they should use. The video above shares why we should apply new beauty products to only half of our face as they are done during clinical trials! It's a great way of seeing how well the product works for you and what results you can expect to see - a novel idea and one that we should always remember to do!

In addition to a fabulous lunch, we were able to have many of our skincare issues answered as well as to test a number of products within the Dr Loretta line including Age Change Daily Moisturizer (includes SPF 30+ which is perfect to use day and night), Age Change Body (which is great for all skin types and allows your skin to glow) and Age Change Eye (which lessens dark circles, bags and puffiness and protects the thin skin that is around the eye area). These can be purchased individually OR you can select the Age Change Kit which allows you to receive the Age Change Body for free when you purchase the Age Change Eye as well as the Age Change Face (which is the daily moisturizer).

Wearable Wednesdays: His Style ~ Axe It Up

May16

A few weeks ago, Paul and I were off to Spin NYC (yes the place that's a bar with ping pong tables) for Axe's Combine House! Hosted by Jason Pierre - Paul (Defensive End for NY Giants and Super Bowl winner) and Kate Upton (recent cover model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit for 2012), we were able to play ping pong as well as to toss the football around! It was definitely a fun way to expend some energy and to see these two play, do a bit of a runway and just to hang out!

When it comes to fitness, it's always important to do it smelling well - so we're loving this 2 in 1 shampoo conditioner which keeps his style easy as well as saving him time! In addition if you and your guy decide to work out together (Central Park anyone?) - make sure that you have plenty of water to take along with you. I'm loving Victoria's Secret water bottles - even a guy can use this as it's grey and not overly girly. If you're opting to throw the frisbee, play a little football or whatever get's your cardio up, why not bring the perfect bag with you? I received The Chica Bag from Cuddly Monkey which is a great tote whether you're a new mom or a person on the go. I love that the black bag is an East - West style and allows you to bring quite a few items and on the inside, there is a fun lining so you see the contrast and nothing misses your eyes when you're looking in there. There is also a secret pocket that allows you to put items in there for quick accessibility as well. Check out Kitten Lounge's Facebook page to find out how you can win this tote for your next excursion!

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Sun Rock

May15

Who doesn't love rocking yellow? It looks fabulous, makes you feel warm inside and there are so many ways to do it to make you feel comfortable. First, I'm loving this white tank with yellow embroidery from Anthropologie which has such a free flowing lok to it which will look fab with the flared trousers from Alberti Biani. Make it look fab by rocking a pair of Christian Louboutin which are white with a red back and heels and black straps. Rafe makes this look even more chic with their miniaudiere solid shell clutch and of course bling it out with Tiffany & Co's citrine ring!

Mingling Mondays: SS 2012 Trends ~ Rachel Zoe

May14

I love Rachel Zoe she's a phenom stylist, designer and overall mogul! When it comes to her personal style, she has a number of looks that I love! I'm obsessed with finding the perfect white shirt dress. I love this maxi shirt dress and there's so much that can be done with it. I would definitely roll up my sleeves and unbutton a few buttons. Like Zoe, I like belting this and would totally rock it out with this obi style belt that's grey from DVF which adds nice dimensions to the look. Continue the grey love with this Stella McCartney grey chain tote that is super roomy! Slip into this Banane Watersnake Peep Platforms which are by Christian Louboutin of course and make a little pop with this Roberto Cavalli ring!

Snazzy Sundays ~ White Room Challenge

May13

White Rooms are a daunting task! You know that you have a blank canvas to work in but what to do with it? We thought about this idea a lot and that's when we realized that we have a number of readers from those that work in fashion, entertainment and the culinary industries! To that end, we also know that we have a number of entrepreneurials as well - many of them bloggers! It got us to thinking about creating the perfect Blogger Office - one where you can do photoshoots, do your videos, store your must haves and of course have a place for your fashion samples, beauty products and places to stage looks through the course of New York Fashion Week!

You too can join in the fun as we have cleared out our room and we're looking to take the second bedroom of my apartment and to turn it into an office and a closet. We will share our progress through pictures, posts, video and so much more! We're excited as we're also making this a branded room and will share with you the necessities that you must have in your space and what brands we're loving in order to get it! By New York Fashion Week, our space will be complete and we'll have a fab headquarter that's always ready for whatever is on our agenda! I hope you participate and show us how you rock your space out in the most optimal way! Brands that are interested in finding out how they can participate should reach out!

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Mother's Day Eve

May12

Tomorrow is Mother's Day! Whether you're a mom, a mom figure or are celebrating your mom as I am - Happy Mother's Day. One of my ambassadorships rings very true to me above and beyond the product offerings! I love that Avon has a commitment to women! Some of you may know that Avon was one of the first businesses out there that allowed women to work and create money for themselves as well as to allow women to sell in a way that works for them. As a Brand Ambassador, it is my duty and honor to share products that I love with those that I meet, to be apart fo special events such as the dinner that I hosted and to just let you know that it's an amazing product in general that plays well with whatever it is that you do! In addition, I love that whether you're the traditional Brand Representative that uses your brochures or those that do this online via their website or Facebook page - you rock! Many of the Avon Brand Representatives are mom's or mom figures and to you and to everyone that uses Avon or is outside of this community, have an amazing Mother's Day!

Fashionable Fridays ~ I Heart Brunettes

May11

Tank & Rubber Bracelet - I Heart Brunettes (Alzheimer's Association)

ZigNano - Reebok

Yoga Racerback Tank - Helly Hansen

A few weeks ago at an event, Makeda of Glamazon Diaries as well as member of Blondes vs Brunettes asked if I would support her football team (she's a Brunette) that plays football in an effort to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association. I love the cause and I know Makeda as well as the girls (yes event the Blondes) works hard towards this charity as well as to play the games. Upon receiving the shirt, I remembered a post I had seen by Blogilates that showed how to take t-shirts and make them into a DIY Racerback Tank that you could wear when you're out at the gym! So I had to combine all of this together for today's post!

Helly Hansen yoga tank which provides support while it peeks out. I paired this with the Alzheimer's Association bracelet band and my Reebok ZigNano as I love to pop the purple. I paired this with a fun pair of black gym shorts by Nike. Of course when I am off to the gym this weekend, I'll update this post with the tee in action - Go Brunettes!

Trendy Thursdays ~ Lea Michele

May10

The very day that I was hosting my Avon Dinner as a Brand Ambassador, I love that Jess (PR Manager of Avon Products Inc) was also pulling double duty as she looked at her phone to see what was happening with Glee's Lea Michele whose beauty look was created by Celebrity Makeup Artist, Melanie Inglessis for the Met Ball. Her eyes were lined by a deep plum liner and layered with a copper tones eye shadow on the lids. With a soft crease brush, she blended the edges of the liner with the shadow tp create definition for the smokey eye effect. Dark eye shadow added additional drama as it was placed over the liner and two coats of black mascara was the finishing touch. Since her eyes were definitely a wow factor, the rest of Lea's face was simple - she had a rosy flush of color on her cheekbones and had a natural lip (lipstick enhancing her own lip hue). You can get the same look with the following pieces from Avon as well as a few of our other brands!

EYES:

Avon Eye Brightening Pencil in Honey Blue ($7)

Avon Eye Brightening Pencil in Plum Berry ($7)

Avon ExtraLasting in Extreme Black ($9.50)

Chanel Ombré Essentielle in Mahogany 51

Illamasqua Liquid Metal in Enrapture

FACE:

Avon Be Blushed in Icy Petal ($8)

Kevyn Aucoin 'The Sculpting' Powder in Medium

LIPS:

Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick in Spiced Cream

Trendy Thursdays ~ Hosting Avon's Head To Toe Dinner

May10

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to do one of the many fun and engaging duties that are apart of my Brand Ambassadorship for the Avon brand! I hosted a dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in the city, Ilili, which is known for their amazing Moroccan/Mediteranean style of food as well as fabulous drinks! In addition I wanted to share with (Amy - Midtown Girl, Kitty - Kitty Bradshaw, my sister Dorian - Big Apple Style Marketing, Christine - Tineey and Shaunequa - Temple of Glam (I rocked a fab dress by one of my favorite design houses, Theia.

As many of you know, I'm always traveling and although I do go to a lot of spas, I find that I have to have an arsenal of my own products available so that I can have a spa wherever I happen to be whether it's HSN (I'm back on air on May 25th 5am and 3pm launching summer fun shoes with Sebago as well as my Kimmie Smith x Sebago Spring 12 collection) segments, a photoshoot and more! My faves included all the below:

Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion

Makeup Remover Wipes With Mineral Complex - I obsess over this and can't stress enough how much I enjoy using these and how my kit is not complete without them.

Foot Works Beautiful Lavendar Overnight Cream

Foot Worls Beautiful Lavendar Clay Mask

Foot Works Beautiful Dual Action Pedi-Peel

Foot Works Beautiful Paraffin Moisture Treatment Mask

ANEW Platinum Day Cream

ANEW Platinum Eye & Lip Cream

ANEW Platinum Night Cream

Wearable Wednesdays: His Style ~ Met Ball 2012

May09

Yesterday we swooned over Beyonce looking amazing in her dress at Vogue's Met Ball which was held Mon night! Today, we're all about how chic Tom Ford always looks and how although he rocked a fab accessory, Chanel Iman (she is perfectly accessorized), what else could he have included in his look?

I would have popped in a little red! I love Movado's Red Label Watch which blends well with cufflinks by Barneys which have the same theme as well as one of my favorite designers, David Yurrman. This signet ring with garnet is very classic and more importantly, eye catching!

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Met Ball 2012

May08

Arguably one of Anna Wintour's and Vogue's biggest night is the Met Ball (also known as the Oscar's for the East Coast). This is a night where everyone steps it up and although I loved a number of looks that hit yesterday's live streamed Red Carpet, I think without a doubt that Beyonce definitely had the best look! We know that Beyonce always stuns and this figure hugging dress is an accessory in and of itself and I'm loving the black to purple feathers! Check out more amazing appearances by visiting Vogue.com (if you want to continue looking at the fab dress from Beyonce from various angles, these pictures are courtesy of Young, Black and Fabulous)!

Mingling Mondays: SS 2012 Trends ~ Giulliana Rancic

May07

Last week we gushed over Kris Jenner's white dress and here we go back in white! Maybe it's the fact that later on today we have the Met Ball (dubbed the Oscars of the East Coast by many will be live streamed and available on Amazon, Vogue and Metropolitan Museum of Art) where we know the fashions will be stunning (and this year you can see it streamed live) that we're even a little more excited today! Last week, Giulliana Rancic rocked this fabulous dress by Theia at E! Upfronts which looked phenomenal. As a huge fan of this media everyday girl gone glam, it's hard to suggest tweeks - but of course I am!

I'd definitely play up the blush love by adding in these amazing Casadei studded pumps. I would layer on pops of shimmer with Charriol (loving that one of these a Nordstrom exclusive) - together it's just enough bling which every girl loves! To add a little neutral, how about Nam Cho's eye popping ring with champagne diamonds? This amped up look is so G and one we're super excited aboout!

Snazzy Sundays ~ Marigold Dreams

May06

I hope everyone had fun partying it up yesterday no matter what you were celebrating! With all of the warm fuzzies that come with so much going on, it's all about looking fabulous for brunch with a large pair of sunglasses. With that said DVF was our inspiration as this fabulous one shoulder dress is the perfect item to wear to be out and about on a Sunday. I'm loving the Moritz pendant lamp at Neiman Marcus which is perfect with your living space. Make the living room even nicer with this fun Mathilde Sofa at Anthropologie which adds a fab bit of character to your room. I'm loving this fabulous stool available at CB2 which adds color, can be spare seating and more. Finally, the canisters that we love to hold bits and baubles are from Kohl's which is another way of bringing in this fab and vibrant hue!

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Brighten Up Derby & Cinco De Mayo Parties

May05

What a week and now it's the weekend! As many of you know I am newly (within the last year or so) obsessed with this bright pink color as well as it being apart of the colors of this site and I have always been a HUGE fan of silver. I think everyday should have a pop of bling in it! Today is not only Derby Day which is huge as I grew up in Indiana and have had a few opportunities to attend the Kentucky Derby during my collegiate years as well as Cinco de Mayo which feuls my love for Margaritas (make them lychee please) and nachos! So for those of you that are kicking off the day with brunch, moving it to themed parties and of course embracing Derby and CDM (as well as the Super Moon - I mean can today get any larger) - I have the perfect casual look that you can rock!

Feel the Piece's V-neck maxi is everything and more! Walk in the room and brighten it up in an instant without saying a word! Rock it up and out with these fabulously decadent Prada sandals. Fuel your inner luna goddess with this Judith Jack Sterling Silver Marcasite cocktail ring and cap it off with this fab clutch from House of Harlow which has silver and rust - to give you just enough edge!

Fashionable Fridays ~ Rock The White Dress

May04

There is nothing nicer than a simple white dress and then of course to pop in fab accessories. What I love about this Kain dress is that it has dramatic elements from a keyhole back to the peeks of what we'll see when it comes to your shoes of choice! I'd definitely pair these simple L.K. Bennett flat leather sandals with this dress as it's a simple shoe as well as a fab color to change the tone of this look.

Pop in another fabulous red hue with this python cuff from one of my accessories designer's Ted Rossi. I'm also loving his white python clutch which is the perfect way to add a crispness to this look! Purchasing this cuff now through the end of June allows you to support the Ilya Peckerman Fund which benefits the Vasculitis Foundation which is a run by fellow Accessories Expert, Pamela Pekerman. I'm glad to know that a designer that both of us have a great admiration for is showing his support in the fight to support the research and education that is needed in order to uncover the cause of Wegener's Granulomatosis which is the disease that Pamela's father passed away from. I am all about shopping for a cause and you can find many other brands that are supporting her with the sale of their products by visiting the Shop4Vasculitis boutique. Sabina Les is another designer that both of us are huge fans of and I'm sso honored to call her a friend as well! Her gorgeous Circle Chain Scarf is also joining in the fight by allowing a percentage of it's proceeds to go towards the Shop4Vasculitis initiative - as it is Vasculitis Awareness Month. Complete this look with one of my fave brands, Dara Ettinger which is a sliced geode.

Trendy Thursdays ~ Spa At Home

May03

Spaing from home is always an option whether you just went to a spa or you can't make it there! As I am always traveling to do segments whether it's on HSN or an appearance. I have a series of must haves that are on my list that always make me feel very comfortable and make my skin look great! I've been a long time user of Koh Gen Do and their Cleansing Spa Water (when also used with their organic cotton pads, not only take off my makeup but also allow my face to be cleansed. There are some areas in the country that I travel to where sometimes the water dries my face so this cleanser is perfect! Once clean, moisurize with L'Occitane's moisturizer which always leaves a silky smooth feeling, When it comes to doing a little extra action on your face, I suggest H2O's Plus Sea Results Overnight Peel - this is a must as I like being camera ready and knowing that my face is at its optimum - it's perfect for overnight results.

When it comes to keeping everything trim, I definitely love Bliss' Perfect Bikini which ensures that you are swimsuit season ready! L'Occitane has a phenom Organic Shea Butter that is perfect for your body. When you have your go to items, being ready for everything even in a beauty sense is a must.

Trendy Thursdays: Events ~ Scent of Departure

May03

Last week, I had the opportunity to pop into Scents of Departure event hosted by Christine of Tineey at Henri Bendel! Immediately, I understood that there were a number of scents that either embodied or were inspired by a city. These airport coded fragrances have amazing descriptions; however, I realized that there was an awesome quiz that I could take that would select the fragrance that was for me! What a great idea as I wasn't sure how I would be able to smell everything. After taking an interesting personality based quiz, I was told that I was London (LHR)! Apparently Miami and LA were close runners ups! With such fragrances as Dubai, Tokyo, NYC and more - you're bound to find whatever place is your home in your heart! Seeing that I run through so many cities and feel that I know a number of airport codes off the top of my head - this is perfect for the jetsetter. I love that they had a great window shopping location but going forward, they will have moved to the fragrance section on the second floor.

Wearable Wednesdays: His Style ~ Out and About

May02

Who doesn't love a casual look? This is one that is perfect for whatever he has in mind whether it's a long weekend, a brunch, heading out to work or taking a half day and taking some time for himself. This easy look is a casual one that kicks off with a Club Monaco and it's simple cornwall blue classic shirt. Pair it with these perfectly distressed Chimala jeans available at J. Crew. Complete this look with a fab pair of casual chic Christian Dior beige suede captoe shoes (just a bit of a way to luxe up this style of sneaker). Pop on this gingham fedora with beige and the cornwall blue color by Comme des Garcons and finally - the bag is everything whether he's planned a little nibble in the park or is hitting the friendly skies, I'm loving this twill weekend travel tote by Gucci.

Treasure Tuesdays ~ The Maxi Life

May01

Happy May - we're finally locking into the time period where we definitely don't have to worry about these dips in temperature. Many of us have actually begun to dip into our summer wardrobes and we're not even looking back towards our winter gear. My love for maxi dresses has definitely encompassed the maxi skirt! I'm loving this fabulously striped pleated skirt from Alice and Olivia. When you wear something that not only has a number of colors as well as textures and movement, I like to create a little simplicity and love that this tank top from Club Monaco is the perfect item to pair with this skirt! I definitely want to pair a fun necklace with this look and Noir Jewelry has this fab bugle knot necklace has fun hues that are woven in. On you hand, this Dara Ettinger cocktail ring has a fabulous yellow hue which brings sunshine from your hand! Yellow picks back up in this look with my fave pair of sandals by none other than (shocker) Giuseppe Zanotti which has your feet wrapped in this hue as well as adding a little extra bling. With so much color, it's an even better excuse to include this python stacked set of 3 bangles to make everything look completely relaxed by Ted Rossi!

Mingling Mondays: SS 2012 Trends ~ Kris Jenner

Apr30

The Kardashians definitely have a matriarch that keeps everything in check even while she works on her personal empire. Last week, Kris Jenner stepped out to attend Google and The Hollywood Reporter hosted an event right before the White House Correspondants dinner! I love Kris Jenner wearing this long sleeved banded dress in white! It's a sexy look while definitely being age appropriate as she is always on point with her look .We're loving her woven black clutch and may we suggest this one by Bottega Veneta which is oh so chic. I'm drooling over her earrings as they are classy, eye popping and can be noticed wherever you happen to stand! To get a similar look, try Colucci Diamonds availale at one of my favorite sites, Forzieri! Finally, it's always about the shoes, I would have actually opted for this fab mesh pair by Giuseppe Zanotti as I love the fun exchange of textures between mesh, banded and woven! White is so crisp and there is a way to bring it to a feminine as well as an edgy look.

Snazzy Sundays ~ Turn To Turquoise

Apr29

I love turquoise! It's one of my favorite colors and jewelry pieces as well so of course in terms of inspiration for your room, this is a fab hue! My inspiration comes from this fabulous Oscar de la Renta as he's all about drama, ruffles and pops of fab color! Now, moving onto where this can be infused, we'll start with my newest obsession - chandeliers. A fab alternative is turquoise beads and I'm loving this draped one from my fave home decor place, Horchow. This is perfect in your living room and can be paired with these fabulous Marrakech curtains from Anthropologie and of course, pop your feet up on Massoud's storage cubes which can hide your fabulous clutter as well. Finally, enter your sanctuary and enjoy Trink Turk's bedding which calls out to your inner Santorini!

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Be Fit, Look Fab

Apr28

Over the past month, Kitten Lounge has been reviewing Lucille Roberts and our biggest take away is that in addition to the wide selection of classes and a number of locations throughout NYC (check your area to see where one is in your city) - I love the fact that they have trainers and it has definitely helped me even when I am not working out at this gym! It's great to build a relationship with the person who works with you as well as to let you think about what you want to target everytime you meet with one another. Later this week, I also had the opportunity to do Fuse Pilates (more on this later in the week). When I'm working out, I always think about what outfits and events will I be going to and what do I need to work out. When it comes to summer, I'm all about my arms, fab legs and of course great upper and lower abs!

With that in mind, I present a fun look that I'll be rocking in a few weeks for an event that I am hosting! I am obsessed with Halston Heritage as they always get it right. I love the chic, flirty and girly look of this dress. But, I love dressing things up and putting a little edge on it for sure. This dress seriously focuses on your arms and begs for a fab pair of legs. Pair this with fab heel-less shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti which of course means that you need rocking leggings. When it comes to the arms, adorn them - these cuffs by Maison Martin Margiela which brings out your inner Wonder Woman! Slip on one of my fave designers, Sevan Bicakci and top it off with this cork handbag by Kara Ross!
