As I headed over to the Cooper Square Hotel to see the Shiseido presentation, I had no idea what I was in store for but I knew it would be an amazing fall presentation. Upon entering the penthouse, there were a few skincare stations and everything was numbered. I enjoyed walking through each station that integrated a pre-recording of what I was prepping to see, which then allowed me to chat with the appropriate consultants that were staffing the space and then a chance to have the products used on me in terms of makeup. I began the tour learning about their silky Bio Performance Advanced Super Revitalizing Cream and Future Solution LX Ultimate Regenerating Serum and the importance of staying hydrated (and of course staying well rested). Shiseido utilizes many of the Japanese elements that I have come to love when it comes to ensuring that my products have all natural items in it that boost your skin without stripping it.

There was a fab moment during the audio tour that Dick Page, Artistic Director had an amazing video installation that talked about how his love for fab skin and makeup could also be translated into food, shopping, music and so much more. As we ended the skincare portion, I loved learning about the Perfect Foundation Brush that works well whether you are using powder or cream to create that flawless red carpet look that we all want. As I moved into the back of the penthouse, I loved being able to see a number of the hues from light natural tones to those that were more dynamic in eyeshadows! Via the audio tour, Dick Page shares his inspiration behind each hue and I love that by listening to it, I can see exactly what he's describing and how he got there. Above you can see all the shades and I selected 3 of the darker tones - my fave. I selected Patina (11 - an amazing greenish/gold), Tin (14 - a silvery greenish hue) and Caviar (16 - an inky black shimmer that yes was created because he loves caviar). There are other fun hues that are reminiscent of a leather couch, baby doll blues and so much more. What a fun experience!

I love looking back at shows that took place earlier in the month for future inspiration. It reminds me of when I was younger and I used to watch CNN's Style Watch to get fashion from around the world, then I was off to dance class and back home to look at Vogue yet again! Many know that I love black and white, when we move into the fall its colors that I embrace fully. This season, I am popping in some other colors to soften my palette if you happened to check my tumblr page a few days ago! I am loving Giorgio Armani's Prive Fall/Winter 2011/2012 recent show where there was nothing but black, white, fuschia and mandarin orange! I am a huge fan of Japanese inspired fashion and this definitely took center stage at the show! Of course I LOVE LOVE LOVE the clutches, headwear and cuffs that rocked out on the runway!

Anyone that knows me knows that I have had a long time obsession with Anthropologie when it comes to their home section! Of course being a Home Manager once upon a time ago at their Rockefeller Center store only fueled this more! Today, I have included one of my favorite collections in bedding which is Cirrus. Devout followers know that this has been available for a number of years and although the colors may change, I have always loved that grey has been there! You can also incorporate Nimbus into the collection in another hue and I recently came into awareness of Rosetta. Now all of these bedding selections come with shams, pillow cases, sheets, duvets etc but I love that they can be mixed together! Especially this particular look when you're living with your boyfriend as there is just enough whimsy to make it girly but there is a fab color palette that is super neutral and makes you feel relaxed and beachy.

Now a room that you sleep in needs certain requirements which may vary. For us, we opt for not having a TV as our room is for sleeping, relaxing and rejuvenating! I love that we have candles which we light frequently and Volupsa is yet another long term fave that's available at Anthropologie. Finally, we live to stay hydrated and I'm loving this Bubbled Beverage Dispenser. Sure it can be in your kitchen but this is nice to have in your bedroom if you have the space and a gorgeous side table! FIll it with fruits to give you a little kick and chill it during the day so whenever you get thirsty in the night you can take some water out! Finally, I love a decor aesthetic which also incorporates my love for the islands, Japanese and Moroccan elements. The lantern shown above is PHENOM and fits in with a bit of my Moroccan elements.

Sabina, Founder & Designer of Sabina Les

As an Accessories Expert, I'm always sharing my essential accessory picks with everyone and I naturally gravitate towards those that are accessory designers. A few years ago I remember Sabina reaching out to me about her scarves and weeks later, I found myself at the Soho House at a trunk show and happened to meet the designer and her printed scarves without knowing that she would be there! From then on, we'd run into each other, I'd share her trunk shows taking place at Bloomingdale's in Soho or at Henri Bendels! Recently, we were both at a phenomenal event for the book launch of Always in Style which included her scarves within the styling. I'm always happy to see and hear her so above as always, you can find out more about Sabina Les who is bringing back the love of scarves, prints and just a new way to showcase ourselves! Find out her favorite loves and of course we;ll fill in the rest here!

She's a super busy lady and of course you can catch her at her trunk shows in Henri Bendels this month April 20th - 23rd and 27th - 30th! With so much going on, we love that she's as attached to her iPhone as I am with my HTC and like many of us, her next step to stay connected fashionably is to start rocking an iPad (I suggest creating some kind of a case that has the printed scarf look to it). Both her iPhone (and I'm sure iPad) will keep her organized with Evernote, Twitter, Dictation, Solitaire and Sudoku (sometimes organization needs to have some fun in there too).

The success of Sabina Les can't be denied as she is in the Accessories Council and has been featured on the Today Show, Elle and so much more. So of course, I wanted to know what will be coming up for this progressive designer! First off she explained that, "I'd love to see a confident and fashionable woman rocking my scarves. A dynamic woman who appreciates the versatility of a great fashion accessory like any of my scarves." I love knowing that she loves the everyday woman as much as any celeb that is rocking her pieces. In the future, you can expect, "silk cocktail purses and jewelry to the brand. Also, my first introduction into home market with silk printed cushions." Without question, pop into her trunk show and of course start rocking her pieces whether in your outfits or within your home!

If you love finding out about Andrea, make sure that you check out Andrea, founder, designer and artist of Maria Cielo. from last week.

You know that I have loved Natori's collection for a number of years and wore it quite a bit during the holiday season. She is all about color, drapery and movement. With that said, her presentation of her Fall collection was not a disappointment by any stretch of the imagination! Above are two of my favorite looks, those who know my fashion loves know that I am a fan of Japanese inspired looks so to see these pieces, you know that I am already thinking of where this would be perfect to wear! With both having vibrant color this is the perfect item to wear for your next gallery opening or to any special occasion.

There's no excuse for not bringing in nature to your home! I love that no matter whether you live on 5 acres or in a shoe box, you can always add plants! Living in Long Beach, LI, I love that the beach is seconds away but being from the Midwest, I love knowing that there are trees nearby. I love bonsai and I love bamboo! Eastern Leaf is one of my favorite sites as they sell everything that you see in the spread and more. Not only is it reasonably priced but they have various sizes which work for whatever you're trying to add to your home. Over the next few weeks, you'll find out what I'm buying for my home as I'm in the midst of some sprucing and since I'm going for a Japanese vibe, why not start with my plants?
