We all dream of designer duds, but not all of us have the deep pockets to afford them.  That’s why all of the luxury designer collaborations have been major for all of us aspiring fashionistas.  There was Missoni for Target, Margiela for H&M, Christopher Kane for Topshop, and Prabal Gurung for J. Crew to name a few.  This past October, Narciso Rogriguez unveiled its collaboration with Kohl’s at the IAC building in New York.  I was fortunate enough to score an invite to a truly beautiful event.  As if the atmosphere and passed cocktails/hors d’ooeuvres weren’t enough, we were all gifted a serious swag bag on the way out chocked full of pieces from the collection.  Several attendees were decked out in the pieces as well, and I’ve got to say, they looked absolutely fabulous.  The look was strong colorblocking, detailed tailoring, and bright pops of color and pattern.

I was super psyched about a pair of really rad silk pajama pants in my bag, but alas all items were size Medium, which means they are sadly a little bit too big.  Sucks for me… awesome for two of you!  Since I don’t have one millimeter of spare closet space, I will be giving away my goodies to two winners who follow and retweet this message.  Be sure to include the #hashtag for the prize you’d like to win.  ‘Tis the season for sharing (and how amazing would these little numbers be for holiday soirees?).

Good luck!

Back in March, I was fortunate enough to test out the new line from Kerastase called Cristalliste.  It’s been touted as the “best kept secret for long hair” and I’ve gotta say… they weren’t kidding.  That’s why I couldn’t possibly keep Cristalliste a secret for long.  While, I was open to sharing my latest haircare find, I do have some other secrets.  And don’t we all?

Kerastase Cristalliste is now available in salons and online but, I figured I’d give you pretty ladies a chance to divulge your best kept hair secrets for a chance to win some Cristalliste of your own.  But first, I will share my best kept hair secrets with you…  What kind of friend would I be otherwise?

Now that I’ve shown you mine, it’s time to show me yours.

The nitty gritty:  To enter, “like” Kerastase’s Facebook page and leave your best kept hair secret in the comments section of this blog post by Monday, May 14th 2012.  Please be sure to include your name and email address (so you can be notified).  Three winners will be chosen.  Sorry, contest is open to US residents only.

Time to show and tell!

Throughout the years, friends have come and gone.  I’ve met some of the greatest women in the world and called them my friends, but the one woman who stands out in my mind has been there since the beginning.  She’s seen me at my best and at my very worst and never, ever left my side.  That very special lady happens to be my mother.  I know, I know, it sounds so trite, but it’s the truth.

I would say, I’m a fairly feminine gal, and I’m willing to bet my ruffled bloomers that my mom instilled that in me from a very early age.  You see, after having two adorable little boys, she was overjoyed to finally have her own little mini me—and who could blame her?  For as long as I can remember (and as far back as photos can document), I was always dressed to the nines with ruffles, bows, and anything pink.  Despite my then bald head, there was no way of mistaking me for a little boy.

While as a teenager, I thought I was much cooler than I ever really was and probably didn’t treat my mother the way I wish I would have.  That didn’t discourage her though.  She tolerated my eye rolls and temper tantrums knowing that one day I’d come around.  And come around I did…

Growing up, my mother always told me, “Pretty is as pretty does.” To this day I hold that as a universal truth but, even the most beautiful girl (both inside and out) could benefit from a little swipe of mascara and a smudge of lip gloss.

The key to an everyday makeup look is to look like yourself… but better. We’re all this “naturally” beautiful, right? I mean, I wake up looking like this.

Your “day face” shouldn’t take you more than five minutes to apply and conveniently enough can be achieved with just five simple products:
