Current/Elliott’s Stiletto Cayenne Pants

One of my favorite denim brands, Current/Elliott, has just released their Stiletto Cayenne pant for Spring 2011. I am always one for bold colors so I am loving these pants already.

Bold color pants, a must have for Spring, are one of my favorite trends for this season. Wear with a simple t-shirt and flat gladiator sandals, prep it up with a cardigan, or go all out with the colorblock trend and pair with an orange top and statement jewelry.

The possibilities are endless and these versatile pants are such an easy way to incorporate color into your wardrobe.

Camilla Skovgaard, Judith Leiber & Shop For Japan

April is Earth Month and if you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon of saving the environment, why not save some money by shopping Gilt Groupe? Get all these fabulous designer pieces at 50-70% off retail price. All you have to do is JOIN NOW and the rest is up to you…

Here’s a list of my favorite sales happening this week on Gilt…

Camilla Skovgaard (4/12)- You will love these fashion forward stilettos. The well-heeled options in this sale range from peep-toe to gold T-straps to python saddle sandals. Feeling more grounded? The metallic strappy flats are just as stylish as their sky-high counterparts.

Judith Leiber (4/13)– Tiny purses or oversize jewelry boxes? That’s the inevitable question Judith Leiber evening bags raise. Gleaming with meticulously applied crystals, these clutches are recognized in fashionable circles the world over. Even sunglasses receive the Judith Leiber treatment with exquisite sparkle.

Pour la Victoire (4/13)– Take your style to new heights with shoes and boots from a European-inspired label that has an array of colors and silhouettes to fit your every need. Extra-tall boots make gems appear long and lean, while shorter booties—offering teetering heels and intriguing details—are a chic pick for your skinny jeans and skirts.

Cynthia Steffe (4/15)– Minimal and ultra-femme usually don’t go hand in hand, but Cynthia Steffe toes the line expertly with these elegant designs. Here, look for coquettish designs accented with a pleat detail here, a cascading ruffle there—unique enough to draw appreciative glances but subtle enough to keep the focus on you.

Shop For Japan (4/16)- Shop this season’s latest trends and 100% of the purchase will be donated to Global Giving for Japan. Gilt has collaborated with some of the hottest labels – think Helmut Lang and Elizabeth & James – to create the Shop For Japan sale. The sale features this season’s best looks and 100% of the purchase price will go to Global Giving for Japan because all the looks were donated by the designers themselves!

They have Vincent Longo to thank for the makeup essentials that keep them camera-ready even without their makeup artists by their sides. Here, choose from Hollywood-approved favorites like shadows, lip pencils, glosses, highlighters, and face powders.

Amrita Singh (4/7)- A mastery of new- and old-world design, an Eastern-inspired aesthetic and a penchant for the bold have earned jewelry designer Amrita Singh awards and international recognition.

Product Review: Guerlain Rouge Automatique Lipstick

I have been really into bold lipstick lately and although I love the colors, they all dry out my lips. My chapstick probably has 3-4 different colors on it by now (gross, I know) because I have to reapply it all the time.

I am SO excited that I have found Guerlain Rouge Automatique because it DOES NOT dry out my lips. It also is the only one I’ve used that actually lasts all day. I normally don’t believe when lipsticks say they last more than an hour…because they don’t. I tried this for the first time yesterday and I reapplied only ONCE (about 8 hours after I first applied) and I didn’t even use my chapstick (which is record breaking for a chapstick addict like myself).

Oh yeah and didn’t I mention it doesn’t even have a cap? You push a piece up the side, the top opens, and the lipstick slides right up. It’s pretty amusing, I’m not going to lie. Do my own lipstick with one hand? Don’t mind if I do…

The shade I’m using is 164 Chamade, and is one of 25 new Spring shades for Guerlain’s Rouge Automatique collection. Available at select Saks Fifth Avenue locations April 2011.

In conclusion, Guerlain’s Rouge Automatique lipstick is: gorgeous color (that I believe would look good on any skin tone), super moisturizing and ACTUALLY long lasting. Hands down my new favorite lipstick!

Kisses! xo

(Yeah I know, I’m lame)
