Scarlett strikes a Marilyn, makes me want red lipstick

Posted by , 1602 days Ago

Like me, my trusty intern Marina, is obsessed with all things Marilyn. Below is her musings on the lady and Dolce Gabbana’s new makeup: I have to admit that although I have a bizarre obsession with Lindsay Lohan and everything she does (mostly self-sabotage), says (nonsense), and wears (umm…leggings?), even I had a hard time […]

A Little Relief

Posted by , 1602 days Ago

You know when you’re on the subway and the passenger next to you sneezes? And then you get in your work elevator and a fellow worker starts coughing? You just know you’re going to get sick. Personally I’ll do anything to not touch the handle on a cab door due to potential germs. And I’d […]

The Laney Crowell Challenge

Posted by , 1605 days Ago

It all started Friday night, with a piece of carrot cake. And then the next day there was a bagel and way too many vodkas on the rocks to remember. Which, of course lead to Sunday’s bagel, Thai food, and peanut butter M & Ms. My health food kick had gone to hell in a […]

Good Stuff

Posted by , 1608 days Ago

In New York it can be really hard to actually have a “night in”. There’s always a dinner with a friend or colleague, birthday party, date, or event pulling you out. Really truly staying-in is hard to do. But these days it seems that that’s all I want to do. I blame it on the […]

Can You Keep a Secret???

Posted by , 1609 days Ago

Ok, so I know it’s my job to write about beauty products. But I have a secret, while I love to try them out, I don’t actually use very many on a regular basis. I would rather go to Physique 57 in the morning than spend time applying makeup. And by the time the weekend […]

Take today for example, I’m wearing torn black tights, black boots, a short black skirt, and an oversized gray vintage sweater. A far cry from my hippie-dippy California roots. Hence why […]

As all of my friends know, I am obsessed with long hair. I have always wanted butt-touching, hippie-style hair. But despite my best efforts, it hovers just above my chest, refusing to go any longer. Yesterday I had the chance to live an Ali McGraw lifestyle thanks to Ken Paves Vibralite Straight Clip-In Extensions. Once […]
