Birds & Fellas Blow-Out

My life can be stressful so when got invited to Birds & Fellas, a fun downtown salon, for a pre-Valentine’s Day blow-out and bubbly, I jumped at the chance.  Everyone there was super nice even after I showed up late to my appointment.  I can’t believe that after three years in New York, I still get lost in The Village.  What I liked the most is that they really live by their mantra of making a haircut a unique experience.  As a tech diva, I truly appreciated Birds & Fellas’ courtesy smartphone charging stations.  They even have a “man cave” area for the boys.  The complimentary seasonal beverage menu was an excellent touch as well.   In honor of Valentine’s Day, they served Pink Prosecco which is one of my all time favorites.  Enjoy my before and after pictures because I’m about the make Birds & Fellas a regular socialite spot.

LOVE the inspiring messages on the mirrors at Birds & Fellas Salon.

Blissful Shrinking: FaceFX Irons Away Wrinkles!

In a world where great skin is always in, even socialites have to worry about wrinkles. Maybe even more so than normal people because we’re constantly in the public eye.

Enter to Win Your Own Birchbox!

Socialites haven’t been known to skimp on anything, especially not cosmetics. Until now, only your makeup artist could tell you which beauty products were worth the investment. As an online influencer/semi-New York City Socialite, I am constantly getting samples of the newest products.  I used to think it was impossible to sample everything, but I was wrong.  For $10 a month, you can get a Birchbox sent to you containing samples of some of the most high end cosmetic, beauty, and personal care products.  Every month even has a different theme.  It’s kind of like sending yourself a gift once a month, only it is actually a surprise.  If you like the products, you can purchase them directly on the Birchbox website and even earn points toward your favorite beauty finds.

Since it is always the socialite way to share the wealth, I am giving away a Birchbox to one lucky reader!  To win, comment on this post telling me the name of your favorite beauty product.  Be sure to include your email address.

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.
