What I’m Loving Now… February Edition
It’s been a while since I’ve had some products to recommend, but these have seriously been rocking my world.
Eucerin Calming Body Wash
This stuff is amazing. My skin gets dry and itchy in the winter, so I needed something gentle. This is a great body wash but it’s an even better shaving oil. It makes my legs feel so smooth. I’ll never use anything else.
Make Up For Ever lipstick in 203 and MAC blush ombre in azalea blossom
I’m always on the hunt for the most intense hot pink lipstick I can find. Well, I found it! It’s a great creme formula that turns my lips into pure barbie doll goodness. I love using just a teeny bit for a softer pink for work. As for the blush? Instant cheekbones. And surprisingly not chalky on my darker skin tone.
MAC eyeshadow in blackberry
The nail polishes are great, but they’re old news. The eyeshadow is a great approximation of Metro Chic (the polish on the right). It’s a dark neutral taupe on me. Great for everyday or for glamming up with a smokey eye.
Do you have any products I should be raving about next month?

Wait a minute honey, I’m gonna add it up
In all my excitement over New York Fashion Week, I haven’t bothered to post any outfits. And I’ve had some cute outfits!
Top- Forever21
Tank top- Forever21
Jeans- Martin & Osa
Apparently this lace top (and the dress version) have become very popular and sold out. I’m so glad I got mine early. It’s absolutely lovely on.
dress- Diane von Furstenberg
cardigan- Rodarte for Target
boots- Steve Madden
Love, love, love the combo of yellow and navy. Also, I think I finally perfected my version of “naturally” wavy hair.
dress- Zara
tights- Plush fleece lined tights
shoes- Nine West
So here’s an outfit I didn’t get to actually wear out. Too bad, ’cause it’s cute, right?

NYFW: I heart Marc Jacobs
Yep, Marc gets his own post. I first looked at the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection and thought “well, this is cute. Great colors.” Then I looked at the Marc Jacobs collection and my heart went bippity-boop. It’s full of just beautiful, beautiful clothes.

NYFW, Part IV
Some more loveliness for you, my lovelies! NYFW has been rolling along and I have been here, here being not at new york fashion week. Maybe next year?
VPL
I’ve always liked VPL- the line is always simple with just enough going on to make it special. Like that amazing necklace in the last picture. Le sigh.
Doo.ri.
When I heard people tweeting about the amazing purple lips at Doo.ri. I was really excited to see the collection. Well, I’m not so crazy about the lips, but the clothes. The clothes! A nude evening gown is so classy and chic. And the slouchy suit is just awesome.

Guess You Go Too Far When Pianos Try to be Guitars
I can’t stop wearing this top. LOVE IT. I “borrowed” it from my mom ages ago and… she’s not getting it back. Sorry mom!
Remember my aversion to business clothes? Apparently, Chloe Kitten has no problem with them. She’s quite happy in proper business attire.
Yes, my girl cat is wearing a necktie. I think it’s quite chic, with a vintage vibe 
shirt- mommy
jeans- Gap
belt- vintage
shoes- Steve Madden

Chi vs. ghd
Two months I ago invested in a major piece of machinery- a new flat iron. Investment is truly the right word, as these things don’t come cheap and they need to work reliably nearly every day for years. The last time I made this investment was 8 years. Yeah, that’s right- 8 YEARS AGO.
I bought a chi when they were the new kid on the block and ceramic was the newest technology. I am not exaggerating when I say that this iron changed my life. I no longer had curly hair that was flattened but still frizzy. I had straight hair. This iron lasted through boyfriends, friendships, college, trips overseas, 8 years of my life. When it stopped working, I nearly shed a tear.
Then I got all giddy because it meant I could finally try out the newest technology and see if there was something that worked even better than my chi. After scouring the interwebz, I decided on a ghd. It has a great reputation, works overseas, and I rarely hear about them breaking down.
Off I was to Sephora, and after nearly doing a spit-take at the price ($150 more than chi’s were currently going for), I brought it home. And I used it. And my hair… got straight.
Well wait, that’s it? No, not really. It heated up in about 10 seconds. The plates ran over my hair with incredible smoothness. With the chi, I needed at least two passes for each section,even when it worked well. The ghd needs exactly one pass.
If it sounds like I’m underwhelmed, I’m not. But I’m not overwhelmed. I’m… whelmed? Can you be whelmed? I think you can in Europe.* One of the features of the ghd is that the plates are curved at the edges, so you can create curls easily. Well, I could do that easily enough with my chi, but the ghd allows me to get some volume at the roots by getting the plates right up to my roots and pulling the iron through my hair while holding my hair straight up. That’s pretty sweet and my chi couldn’t do that at all.
They both got my hair perfectly straight, frizz-free, and super shiny. But really, $150 more? I don’t think it outperforms a chi by $150.
What are your thoughts? Have you tried both out?

NYFW: Hexa by Kuho
Okay, this dude needs his own post. What a great collection. Some might look at it and call it unwearable, but really it serves as incredible inspiration.
A little background: Jung Kuho is a very well-known designer in his homeland, Korea.

NYFW
Four awesome little letters, right? New York Fashion Week is here, baby! Here are some of the looks (clothing, makeup, and hair) that I’m loving!
Cynthia Steffe
Seriously loving this collection. The over-the-knee boots everyone’s been wearing have opened the door for the coquettish look of shoes and over-the-knee socks. Which I have always loved. And the mix of sheers and knits and wool? Brilliant. Time to hit American Apparel for some of those mesh body suits.
Organic by John Patrick
How much do I love the hairdo’s??? I need some extensions ASAP. And a bump-it! Also, the models here are crazy gorgeous. It looks like trousers will get some love for Fall 2010.
L.A.M.B.
I really didn’t like the hair and the makeup, but the use of belts is really cool. And I’m still loving the look of distressed denim.
