A Little Bliss

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 12:49PM by hautemimi 0 Comments - 8 Views

Bliss Spa is the destination of choice for divas who want to wind down, revamp and revitalize in style. Offering the latest treatments and technology Bliss is more than a pretty place. Don't live in a big city like New York or San Francisco, no worries, you can bring a little Bliss right to your home and still get amazing results. Here are some of my faves from Bliss, which you can buy online or from Sephora stores.
The Bliss Hot Salt Scrub and Naked Body Butter are probably the two things I can't live without. If you're new to Bliss, try these two out and be prepared to have the most gorgeous, smooth and glowing skin you've ever had. The Hot Salt Scrub is coarse enough to get the the roughest spots (elbows, knees) smooth and yet leaves a film of soothing eucalyptus oil to nurture the skin also leaving it cool. After a steamy shower, slather on the Bliss Naked Body Butter which is unscented so you can mix in your favorite essential oils or perfume. It's so thick and creamy and leaves your skin super supple.My new favorite from Bliss is the Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Mask. I think the name speaks for itself. When I first tried it, it left my eyes so bright and awake. Perfect for those nights you don't get sleep but still have to make it to brunch the next day, or work, looking as if you had sweet dreams. The oxygen eye mask is like sleep in..a mask. Stock up on Bliss products and treatments today and make your space into a spa haven.

So what makes New York fashion so ridiculously fabulous? Well I think it's the cosmopolitan woman wearing the clothes. I don't want to make any generalizations but in my eyes New York women are fierce, graceful and most of all simply fabulous. Three New York women with totally different styles define what urban sophistication means. The list includes Tinsley Mortimor, the socialite darling and mastermind who brought a little New York flavour into Samatha Thavasa handbags; Kimora Lee, the gorgeous goddess behind the urban chic label Baby Phat; and last but not least Dylan Lauren, the owner of Dylan's Candy Bar and also the daughter of Ralph Lauren.

I first read about Tinsley a few years back and I really admired her look. She's known for her classic, girlish Uptown look. Her hairstyle, with the side bang pinned with a sparkler, is a must for a night on the town. She has an aura of elegance and class. She's a great representation of cosmopolitan glamour.

Kimora is the goddess of high street. She has mastered the art of bringing "FABULOSITY" into everyday clothes. A post on New York style wouldn't be complete without her. A tip to take form Kimora? Pair chandelier earrings with your jeans or why not pile on rhinestone bracelets with that white tee? Make casual - casual luxury.

Every New Yorker has stepped into Dylan's Candy bar to satisfy their sweet tooth but the girl behind the store is even more delicious. She always manages to look as if she were cut out of a Ralph Lauren ad campaign. Steal her nonchalant world traveller look by wearing crisp white pieces paired with turquoise jewelry. Look for bohemian pieces that are still chic and sophisticated.

SOME TIPS:

Ditch the Black

Ladies, ditch the black and get lacquered up in this sophisticated and sleek nail polish. It goes with everything this season from the silvers to golds to the blues to the pinks. If this is just a tad bit too, risque, Per Se, why not do the upside down manicure and just paint the tips with this gorgeous hue while leaving the rest of the nail iridescent white? Tres Chic!

Wear your cocktail attire during the day

There's a blur between day and night in fashion right now and I'm all for it. Bring out your sparkly tops for daytime and enjoy cocktails after work without racing to your apartment. To stay warm try a chunky knit sweater in camel for a casual cover-up that's delicious. xx MIMI

How To Shop At Forever 21

Sun, 08/10/2008 - 2:32PM by hautemimi 5 Comments - 170 Views

I can't stand shopping in store at Forever21. too many clothes, too many colors, and way too many shoppers. There is no room to breathe nor think. But, I love the clothes none the less and adore the online store. Always up to the minute, Forever21 is where I go to stock up on things I know won't last but just have to have. There are several things to keep in mind while shopping at Forever21 or any high street store.

Things To Keep In Mind:

  • When in doubt, buy black. Any other color will look cheap, believe me.
  • Don't buy a garment that already has any lose threads or any type of damage. If it can't hold up on the rack it definitely will not hold up after a wild night out.
  • With that in mind remember that these garments won't last for more than two seasons.
  • Look for the right fabrics, try to find cottons, silks and merino wools. They're the most comfortable fabrics and look much better than their artificial counterparts.
  • Stock up on costume jewelry. They have a great selection.

Noir Is The New Black

Sun, 08/10/2008 - 2:28PM by hautemimi 0 Comments - 11 Views

We all know that pure black liners and mascaras give you the most luxurious and impactful eyes. Yet, it's so hard to find just that. The richest black possible. With that said, the search is over for me ever since I've found Noir. The first thing I adore about Noir is the fabulous packaging which is luxe and ultra hip. The products themselves are seamless and silky making the application of eyeliner that much easier. The Noir Jewel Box is one of my favorite products from the line. The eye shadows have just the right amount of shimmer for look-at-me eyes that will dazzle any crowd. Fall 2008 calls for dramatic eyes so stock up on black eyeliners, shadows and more from Noir. Dare to be dramatic.
