Lord & Taylor has both Beauty & Brains

I just had an amazing evening at Lord & Taylor in which I along with NYC’s most stylish bloggers, got an inside look into their expanding cosmetics department. Armed with hot pink hard hats, we were given a tour of the first floor construction soon to be home to a revolutionary cosmetics department featuring lighting that is as close to the natural rays of the sun as possible ensuring that everyone leaves with the correct shades of makeup. It will also be home to a state of the art Chanel counter, the first of its kind in North America.  To my delight, they have chosen to restore much of the store to its original Fifth Ave. glory using the same materials and uncovering the charming architecture of nearly a century ago.

After the tour, we sampled numerous beauty products accompanied by more champagne. I am head over heels for T3 hairdryers and flat irons. Having won an Opal Sonic Infusion System, I can now take the spa home with me as I fight the appearance of eye wrinkles. I am very impressed with Lord & Taylor’s savvy style when it comes to the business of beauty. I look forward to the grand opening of their unparalleled cosmetics department.

I’ll be making a Splash at the Juicy Pool Party!

Too much drama has found me this week over fake designer bags and other scandalous issues. The week’s not even over and I’m already in dire need of a long getaway to a deserted island somewhere in the South Pacific. In the end, no one becomes a socialite to live the soap opera life, but to have the luxury of watching one everyday at 3 p.m. directly after an afternoon nap. Any aspiring socialite must also be a dreamer. As a writer and creator of great things, I am obviously no exception. During the summer months, I spend my weekend afternoons on the Central Park green just a few steps away from Strawberry Fields and the penthouses of Central Park West.

Every weekend afternoon, the green is filled with bikini clad dreamers, myself included, simulating a beach weekend far away from the skyscrapers of Manhattan. This Saturday, June 26th from 12-4 p.m. I will be attending the “Stuck in the City” pool party at Juicy Couture on 5th and 52nd. Though I fully intend on getting my free tote with a purchase of $175 or more, I do not believe I am actually supposed to wear a bathing suit to this event. Although with the awesome outrageousness of the Juicy brand, you never know. Anyway, I’m so excited for another weekend of summer dreams in NYC. For you lucky few spending the weekend in East Hampton, there is also a pool party for you a lot closer to the beach. Hope to see you there along with the summer treats and Juicy Boys.
