Tory Burch Spring 2010

Just got back from the dress rehearsal of the Tory Burch show. I got a quick interview with Tory and here's what she had to say:

“I wanted to give a free spirit look to the spring collection, one that’s lived in, but not completely. My favorite outfit is the sequin dress, I wore it during the VMA’s and it was very comfortable and sophisticated.”

Take a peek at some of the beautiful prints and colors. Gotta love Tory!



Backstage Yannick gave the models the perfect ponytail with heat styling and finishing spray from Redken.

Try a Pill If You Will

Are there such things as too many nutrients and countless health and beauty benefits? Not when it comes to Hirsana, golden millet oil capsules that are formulated to strengthen the skin’s barrier and regulate moisture content.

Say goodbye to dry and brittle hair, skin and nails, Hirsana has discovered a way to extract highly effective oil from golden millets to encourage beauty from within. The pill components—Vitamin B6 (boosts metabolism), Riboflavin (supports the formation of blood cells), Thiamin (promotes normal nervous system function) and Zinc (supports the buildup of protein produced within the body)—are formulated with 200 mg of pure golden millet oil. Simply take two capsules a day for three months and then repeat on an annual basis, after three months, reduce dosage to one capsule daily.

Recession Special Ted Gibson Style


At Ted Gibson Salon, the price of a haircut by noted hairstylist Ted Gibson could land you a 32” flat screen TV, knock off a huge chunk of your rent or give you a round trip plane ticket to Europe. But during these hard times, the Ted Gibson team has smartened up and curbed its prices—at least on Tuesday’s.

Entitled Recessionista Tuesdays’, Ted Gibson salon is offering haircuts and single color processing for $75 and blow-outs for $40 at its Fifth Avenue Salon.

Previously only crafting the manes of A-list celebrities: Angelina Jolie, Gabriella Union, Renee Zellweger, Keira Knightly and Anne Hathaway, Ted is now available for hair cuts, up dos, color processes, extensions, and various color treatments for ‘regular’ people.

Gibson once stated, “I really listen to what they have to say,” says Ted. “I cut hair with sensibility and ease so that my clients leave with a refreshed style without necessarily feeling like they’ve had all their hair cut off.”

Visit Ted Gibson for more information or head over the New York salon at 184 5th avenue, 2nd floor. The offer is available indefinitely or at least until the economy is less of a drag.

Fashion Week Nail Trends

From sheer, smoky silvers to popping pomegranate plums, nail trends for fall ‘09 leave room for wearers to gracefully express their personalities. According to nail maven Noni Crème from Butter London, her polish choice this fall is nude. At the Lela Rose show she proclaimed “We will be leaving dark nails in the dust!” as she used Swinger, an antique gold shade with a slight green content to give the nails a “wet” look. However, despite her prediction there was an assortment of dark colors present throughout the shows, including at the Vena Cava show, where Crème laquered up the models in British Racing Green - a dark, bold greenish shade set to launch exclusively on Beauty.com this Fall.

Dark colors were used as accessories this go-around and were present in the majority of shows. Chris Benz used Lancome’s “Declaring Indigo” collection (set to launch this Fall), filled with dark blues, golds and red shades. And Monique L’ Huiller combined Essie’s Aruba Blue and Licorice to give a penetrating dark glow.

Dashing Diva followed the dark trend while offering an array of deep shades with hints of lighter tones sprinkled throughout courtesy of manicurist Alisha Rimando. Jillian Lewis showcased Carrie-d Away, a peachy pink shade on fingernails but darkened the toes up a tad with City that never Sleeps an opaque, midnight blackberry. Erin Fetherston and Charlotte Ronson shared Dashing Diva’s Jet Set - a dark, burgundy frost, while Lorick opted for Central Park After Dark, a crème plum noir, and Catherine Holstein’s models sported Mulberry Street a dark, vampy burgundy frost. Bold and nudes were combined yesterday at Trovata, where we saw a new twist on the classic French manicure, a combination of West Village and She E.O. with Limo Service at the tip.

So whether your layering colors or wearing alone, captivate your personality down to your fingertips with bold shades and nude tones.

To re-create the look at Trovata, simply follow these five steps:
1. Polish all nails with True Color Base coat.
2. Polish all nails with West Village.
3. Polish all nails with She.E.O.
4. Use Limo Service just at the edge of the nail and lean the brush slightly onto the surface of the nail to achieve a 1/16″ black edge on the nail.
5. Cover all nails with True Color Topcoat.

Get Beautiful with SukiSpa



The Suki organic innovation lab has been hard at work and has devised another collection for beauty lovers to channel their inner glam god. SukiSpa, a treatment line that combines the advances of natural science and technology is dedicated to correcting your skin’s most stubborn issues and preventing future imperfections.

At the heart of all Suki products lie advanced organic sciences, so it’s no surprise SukiSpa includes high percentages of natural cosmecueticals such as peptides, liposomes, vitamins and standardized extracts. SukiSpa effectively tackles specific skin issues at a faster, safer rate than traditional products. And with daily use for two to four weeks—depending on your level of skin issues—positive changes are bound to occur.
“I do not believe in damaging the body by treating the skin with synthetics that can show effects in two days but cause cancer, long term dermatitis, acne, or other long term more damaging disease,” says founder Suki.


SukiSpa products include bio-resurfacing facial peel, targeted bio-brightening face serum, bio-active purifying face serum, bio-C 10% formula face serum and facial lift firming cream.

“I believe to look in the mirror and smile on the inside [and say] ‘I’m beautiful’, is a powerful thing,” says Suki. “I don't believe that a lot of what people do to makeover themselves is in support of that, but instead is in support of forces telling us we aren't good enough. I just want to help people be their best, be happy and healthy.”
