Perfect Finish: HD Style

 

Since I am obsessed with all makeup it makes sense that I share my latest discovery with you all: Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder and HD Primer.  The primer is key for a seamless base pre foundation application and the powder is perfect for setting your makeup and preventing an oily t-zone.

Microfinish Powder $30 and Primer $32 both at Sephora.com.

Finally...

My new car is finally here! It's a brand new 2009 Mercedes 350clk convertible in black with black leather interior.  I love it and can't wait for it to be warmer out so I can drive with the top down (which I just might do now while blasting the heat!).

Yes, Yellow!

Yellow is my go to color whenever I want a little cheerful pick me up.  Citrus, sunflower, lemon, sunshine, each shade always delivers.  Kate Hudson looks adorable and much improved from a few months ago in a bright lemon dress for Elle's February 2009 cover.  Eva Mendes rocks a yellow, beautifully beaded Bill Blass (once again) for a premiere for "The Spirit."  Both ladies look fantastic!

 

MJ ♥ LV

 

Marc Jacobs has been apart of the Louis Vuitton team for some time now and LV can give him credit for revamping some of their classic bags into current obsessions.  On January 6th a line of special edition bags will launch in honor of the death of Stephen Sprouse (famous for his collaboration with MJ on the graffiti bags a few years back).  The line will include neon pink, orange and green graffiti bags along with a few pieces adorned with painted roses.

Bag picture with MJ, $1500.  Key Chain, $250.

HAPPY 2009!

Started the night off with a Blueberry Stoli, Soda Water and lime drink...and ended with unnecessary shot! I had such a great time with all my friends having dinner together and then going to a NYE party of beer pong, flipcup, and kings.  Cheers to 2009!

I wore the coral Lorelei Dress by Elizabeth & James (on shopbop.com in white).

Some recent pics of my favorites, Nicole and Harlow.  Top: Shopping with Harlow in LA. Bottom from Left: At Christina Aguilera's bday party and out with Benji in fabulous Dior heels and a Balenciaga clutch.

 

Dream Dress Purchase: 3.1 Phillip Lim

SOOOO excited about my most recent purchase: the 3.1 Phillip Lim dress that Cameron Diaz wore to the Spike TV Awards this spring! I love the ruffles, jeweled detail (much more noticable in person), and the pop of color.

Availble for $695 at Net-a-Porter.com.

Well Suited: Alice & Olivia Blazer

I recenly bought this adorable Alice and Olivia Blazer that Lauren Conrad has been sporting all over town. It's the perfect little jacket that can be dressed up or down and the rolled sleeve cuff adds a little flair to the classic style. FYI, she will be wearing it on The Hills Season 4 Finale this Monday!

Can be purchased at any Alice and Olivia store for $385.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year because of all the fun decorations and the holiday spirit that makes people a little more friendly.  I was in NYC this past weekend and got to see Christmas at it's best!!! All of the windows of 5th Avenue were beautifully decorated and made everything so festive!

 

Crazy for Canary

Eva Mendes rocked a canary yellow dress and Christian Louboutin heels at the premiere of her new movie Spirit.  I absolutely love yellow mixed with metallic accessories so that pretty much means that I am obsessed with this look!

I ♥ Barbie & CL

Don't these Christian Louboutin heels totally look like something Barbie would have in her closet? Even though they are totally unpractical I just couldn't forgive myself if I didn't pick a pair of these up.  My favorite color, my favorite shoe designer, what more could I ask for?!?

Most sizes are currently on preorder for mid January delivery at Saks for $695.

Spring Collection Obsession: Phillip Lim

 

 

I am loving the Spring 2009 collection from Phillip Lim!  All of the pieces are colorful, unique and have a lot of detail which is what I look for when I buy my clothes (and also why you'll rarely see me in black!).

Clockwise from top left: ruffle tank $275, sequin skirt $500, embroidered coat &750, navy chiffon dress $550, sequin top $395, and yellow chiffon dress $525.  Available at Eluxury and Nordstroms.

Cheers to an Epic 27 Years!

Britney turned 27 on Tuesday and spent the day doing appearances to promote her new CD in NYC.  First, Brit performed "Circus" and "Womanizer" on Good Morning America where she was given an awesome birthday cake (it took 60 hours to make!).  Later, Britney taped an appearance for the Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center which will air on December 3rd.

Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas!

I love getting a mani/pedi and am obsessed with all the colors from the OPI holiday collection. Mix and match for a festive look (I like the gold paired with red or the gray with the black)!

Mommy & Me: Nicole & Harlow

  

Seriously, Harlow is the cutest baby ever!!!! Look how cute she is munching away at that giraffe toy!  Mommy Nicole looks awesome in knee high Christian Louboutin boots, a leopard scarf and denim jacket.

1 Week Countdown: Britney Spears

I am soooooo excited for Britney's new album,"Circus," to come out a week from Tuesday (and on Ms. Spears' birthday).  Seriously, B. Spears has been doing so well lately and I can only hope that her album claims the number 1 spot next week!

"Circus" is available for preorder on Amazon for $9.99.

The Perfect Pumps

Christian Louboutin (my fav!) has created the perfect black, patent pump that go with everything.  The style name is "Rolando" and I remember they flew off the shelf last fall...Luckily, I was able to preorder a pair this year :)

Available in Black and Red Patent at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman for $700.  

Edit: Just picked these up on Tuesday!
