Fashion’s Night Out celebrates 4 years!!!! This September 6th join editors, bloggers, stars, models and fashionistas at the worldwide fashion party known as fashion’s night out. FNO is an unprecedented global initiative that was created in 2009 to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, boost the industry’s economy during the recession, and put the fun back in shopping! In the United States, the program is a collaboration between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company, and the City of New York. With special limited-edition products, Sales, celebrity appearances, and unforgettable performances this FNO is going to be the best one yet! Last years bash featured events in 18 countries with more than 4,500 events in the U.S. alone. Some of the largest events will be taking place in NYC and LA. NYC will be also kicking off New York Fashion Week on the 6th as well…..so if you’re in the New york area, take full advantage. I will be celebrating in the Los Angeles/ Beverly Hills area for my 4th year now. Last year I stopped by Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang and Alexander McQueen on Melrose in LA, then was off to Beverly Hills where the streets were literally shut down( complete with food trucks and a ferris wheel) and stopped by Saks, Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. I had the best time and am very excited to do it all over again! Where will you be on September 6th?
Official FNO hours. Thursday september 6,2012. 6pm-11pm

This past Weekend I went to Hester Goes Hollywood, a cool street fair with live music, food trucks and fabulous jewelry and clothing finds. I was overwhelmed at the amount of cute stuff! I overspent but left VERY happy. I made sure to grab a card at every vendor that I LOVED and now I’m going to share them with you.
Shoppublik. I loved their hanging spike bracelet and the zipper bracelet.
Agapanthanyc. I really like their use of vintage watch parts in their jewelry and their hammer necklace.
Visantine Collective. Great pieces and great construction. They had an amazing jacket, one of the best I’ve seen in quite sometime.
LeFashionTruck. I scored on some amazing two toned faceted teardrop earrings. Plus it’s so fun shopping in that cute pink truck….and YES there is a dressing room inside as well.
Threeheartz. Great head wraps and infinity scarf collection as well as fun jewelry.
Skaist Taylor is building a following…….fast! The “California eccentric” collection brought to us by the LA based designers who gave us Juicy Couture in 1996, is making major fashion waves. The team has since sold Juicy Couture to Liz Claiborne Corp. and have dived right into the Skaist Taylor line. Pamela Skaist- Levy and Gela Nash- Taylor launched the boho- chic line during new York Fashion Week this past Spring to rave reviews. Don’t worry there will be no tracksuits this time around! Remember wearing those everywhere?????? I admit I must have a dozen tracksuits lying around and still wear them to lounge in the house, I was a bonified “Juicy” girl…. But there comes a time for every fashion “moment” to move on though and this is that time for Pamela & Gela!
Skaist taylor is available now at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Skaist Taylor.
Eyeliner is a definite must have product, waking your face up and instantly making your eyes POP! One swoop of colored liner brings a WOW factor to your eyes! If you don’t really wear colored shadows, eyeliner is your “gateway” product. I love all colors but am partial to teal, the beautiful hue goes with many skin tones and eye colors as well. A teal lined eye is bright and fun while remaining very wearable. Simply put, it is pretty on everyone.
Teal eyeliner comes in a variety of forms… good old-fashioned pencil, liquid, gel and cream. Whatever formula you prefer is just fine to achieve this look. You’re not out of luck if you don’t own any of these because as long as you have a flat eyeshadow brush and teal shadow, you can substitute it instead of liner for a similar look.
Some of the many ways to wear teal eyeliner:
Upper lash line
Lower lash line/water line
Rim the entire eye
Pair with neutral eyeshadow (looks great with bronzes,beiges & taupes)
From low-key to dramatic, below are some examples of the many ways to wear this mermaid-chic look. Take note on how great this looks on all skin tones, eye shapes and colors.
Shop these eyeliners.

I just discovered a new lip product and I love it! The Revlon Balm Stain is a moisturizing balm infused with a lightweight lip stain that gives lips just enough color that lasts for hours. Balm stain is perfect size to take on the go and is in the form of a chubby crayon for precise application. It’s a perfect day-to-day lip product if you want to look slightly made up but not over the top. Available in 12 colors at drugstores now for about $8. (I’ve seen them for $6.79 at Rite aid and $8.99 on Revlon.com) These crayons are very similar to Tarte lipSurgence that retail for $24.
