Eyelash Extensions at Salon Lashe

I don’t do beauty posts that often, so when I do it must be something important. I finally tried eyelash extensions for the first time last weekend, and I’m so obsessed…I had to share!

I went to Salon Lashe on Oak Street because I had heard great things about this place. I walked in and everyone was super friendly and it was an extremely quiet environment, which is important when doing intricate work like eyelash extensions. They put so much time and effort into your lashes, it’s unbelievable! The owner actually formulated the glue they use, which is in over 650 salons worldwide.

I am beyond thrilled with the results! They’re long but they still look real and you can’t tell where my eyelashes end and where the extensions begin. I highly recommend this place and if you go, I would love to hear what your experience was like.

Here’s their info…

Dana Rebecca Designs in InStyle’s September Issue

I recently found out that one of my favorite jewelry lines, Dana Rebecca, was featured in the September issue of InStyle!

I posted about the Dana Rebecca trunk show last month, where I purchased the gorgeous Orna ring, and guess what was showcased in this “Meet The Jeweler” feature?

The Orna ring!

I am so happy for Dana Levy, designer and owner of Dana Rebbeca Designs, and it’s so cool to have a local Chicago designer be featured in the September issue of InStyle. It hits news stands today!

Macy’s Passport Presents Glamorama ARTrageous

This weekend I attended one of my favorite fashion events of the year, Glamorama! I had the pleasure of going with Corri McFadden of eDrop-Off and we had such a blast.

It was so fun seeing new collections from Sonia Rykiel, Marc Jacobs and even Karl Lagerfeld’s new line for Macy’s. I also got to see Cee Lo and Far East Movement perform which was super fun.

The after party was CRAZY (but in a good way) with so many goodies and activities…it’s definitely one of the most entertaining events I’ve ever been to.

Of course, one of my favorite parts is dressing up. I wore a Proenza Schouler Fall 2010 dress with spiked Christian Louboutin slingbacks and a neon Christopher Kane clutch.

FYI any photos from the Glamorama show were taken on my iPhone (they wouldn’t let me bring my camera in) so I apologize for the sub-par quality. But I do what I can to share my experiences with you…even if it means taking illegal photos 🙂

Did you go to Glamorama this year? What did you think?
