As many of you know, I love knowing what a brand was like before it was something that we all considered drool worthy of being within our closets! I enjoyed reading The Towering World of Jimmy Choo and loved learning about the importance of proper financing and maintaining the creativity of a brand in order to ensure that it can compete effectively amongst companies that have a deep rooted heritage. Another favorite designer of mine is Chanel! I love her timeless quality and of course I have always been curious to know more about what she was like and how she was inspired to create this amazing brand. Soon, many will begin to learn more about her in Avant Coco Chanel which translates to 'Before Coco Chanel'. Prior to being a fashionable force, she was merely Coco who wanted to get out of her day to day job in order to grasp her true passions. Check out the trailer and I'll let you know what I think of the movie!
A lot of areas are my weaknesses so it's hard to say which one I lean towards; however, lingerie is my top 5 wothout a doubt! Not only do I love it but I love supporting brands that are based out of Miami! Cosabella is based out of Miami and is made in Italy (I would say this is a luxurious combination)! I love the various collections that really embrace the personalities through women as lingerie is something that definitely says a lot about you or what you're truly thinking. If that doesn't convince you, then you should also know that Cosabella has made various pieces in honor of Sex and the City which is all about 4 personality filled women who learn about their lives and continue to empower themselves. A little birdy tells me that there is a definitely a second movie and that they will be contributing yet again!v This officially puts Cosabella on my radar as I love the brand but I also love its involvement.
Now with it being Valentine's Day soon, it's important to think about a gift to give or something that you want to give yourself! Whether it's meant for another's eyes or something that will make you feel great after a long day, Cosabella is definitely a brand that will work well in setting you apart from others while putting you in the best light possible!
One of my favorite shows is America's Next Top Model. I have had various friends that have appeared on this show and I just love seeing the challenges. My fave challenge - when they were on a building doing amazing shots and the one that skeeved me out, the meat challenge! Anyway, my belief with reality shows in general is that even those that don't come in number one, still win as they have a great opportunity for other companies to pick them up. My other favorite element of ANTM of course is Tyra - enough said! One of the amazing things that she did was create a show within her show The Tyra Show! This show, Modelville allows some of the previous cycle participants to compete for a model contract as a Spokesbeauty for Carol's Daughter. I have been a fan of this beauty brand and as you know, last month, I attended a presentation by founder, Lisa Price. She walked us through the holiday collection and created an aromatic potpurri that arrived just the other day. Throughout The Tyra Show, we have seen Bianca, Renee, Lauren, Dominique and Fatima compete for the $50,000 prize. Today, a winner is chosen! I have to say that Bianca is my favorite! Let me know your thoughts and make sure to tune in!
UPDATE: Dominique won the contract for Carol's Daughter and Renee became the runner up. There is a possibility that she could also work within the brand.
For the past 2 or 3 years, I have to admit that I have been a huge fan of the Schick Quattro! It may have had to do something with the fact that my sister and I were promo models for a marketing firm and we went all over the city and Connecticut spreading knowledge and love for this razor. At first, I must admit that I thought that the fact that it was a pink beauty product - it was the primary selling point of this razor. But after that summer, I grew to love the four blades that ensures your super soft wherever you shave! I always have this hanging in my shower and ready to use and one if always in my bag for emergencies as well. Since being introduced to this razor, I have yet to put it down and anytime that I am running low, I always have another easy to change head (note that easy to change doesn't mean that the head falls off every time you use it!). This sleek razor is a must for my beauty prep and it has yet to make me have to switch to another brand pr style. Take some time to check out the site to learn more in depth facts about this razor and why you may feel the same as I do! Check out their fun site - Quattro For Women!
Most people know that I am not really someone who runs after what I call "traditional" luxury brands. It's not that I don't think they are amazing, but I love supporting designers that are indie or strive to make unique piece where you will not find yourself coming and going. Eugenia Kim is one of my favorite designers and she was commissioned to make hats for Coach! This hat, known as the Maude, is apart of this collection and if you would like to see more - visit Coutorture for additional pieces. There are a lot of fun elements that breathe an interesting life into this iconic brand!
I love Cherry Blossoms and I find them to be not only beautiful but relaxing as well! I love this time of year when they're in bloom and seeing the streets lined with the pink trees is absolutely breathtaking. You can have this sentiment year around as a skin for your laptop thanks to Skyn! They have amazing skins that are not only protective but they are also a great way to show your individuality! This bright color turns your favorite piece of technology into something that you'll enjoy looking at even when it is not in use. Of course, there are other skins and I do believe that this makes a great gift! Check out more items from this great brand and see what Skyn shows your personality the best!
We love hearing from you! Suggestions, ideas and thoughts are always welcome.
