Lipstick Fashion Mascara

Hola, friends!  I hope everyone is well. I’ve been working long days and just trying to take time for myself as of late. Last night I attended a party for June Ambrose’s eye wear launch in collaboration with Selima Optique. June hinted about an eye wear collection last year, you can read about it here. June was a social butterfly and of course the life of the party. I definitely need to get to a Selima boutique to try on the Hi Brow shades.

Although there are tumbleweeds blowing through my site, I have come across some cool reads. Check them out below.

Many of you know I’m completely obsessed with perfume. Bond No.9 is one of my all time favorite boutiques to shop here in the Big Apple. They are doing a contest in which you upload your visual ’love letter’ to NYC. I created a collage of several pics I have taken throughout my daily travels. A couple are shots of some of things in my Bond collection. I would really love it if you would vote for me. My collage is under “Carmen Blakely”. You can vote once a day and the contest ends on April 2nd. Please click here to vote. You don’t have to enter your email or any personal information! Thank you!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

I should be ashamed of myself for my lack of posts. However, I haven’t been quite centered as of late, so bear with. Last Saturday I had the opportunity to mosey to the Caravan Stylist Studios for Lianne Farbe’s Cocktails and Couture party. Lianne hosts this event twice a year during New York Fashion Week.

It brings together bloggers, makeup artists, stylists and fashion connoisseurs  from various playing fields. I look forward to it every season. I get to see many people who I interact with via social media, but rarely have the opportunity to kick it with them. The space was cute, nestled in NYC’s fashion district.

The night started out very uptempo, and then I feel like the world stop turning on its axis. Read the rest of this entry »

I hope that today is bringing you plenty of rest and relaxation. Last week was very long, I started at a different location for work and it had me so nervous and excited;both left me completely exhausted by Friday. It snowed here on Saturday, forcing me to stay in and chill. I so needed that! The challenge has been to not completely drain my checking account, shopping online. I haven’t been posting regularly as I’d like. Between demands of the job and a few personal things I really couldn’t focus! Have you ever felt that way? Today will also be a day where I will indulge in cat naps all day, so I hope to be back to blogging on Monday. I have managed to read some really great posts in the meantime…Check em’ out below!

I know. Everyone keeps saying it- myself included. Where did the year go? It feels just like I was digging myself out of the blizzard we had in late 2010. What I do know is 2011 has been an AWESOME year. I have accomplished and learned so much. Give me a moment of your time to glance back at the year. Read the rest of this entry »
