I had the pleasure of attending Chrissy Teigen's Bridal Shower hosted by Gillette Venus.

Do you follow Chrissy on Twitter?

If you do, the answer is yes. She is every bit as feisty and cray cray as she is on Twitter. I went on Twitter later in the day to tell her how fun it was to meet her and caught her in the midst of an all-out battle with fans over comments she made concerning that Teen Mom sex tape. She is ballsy and I love that. Such a cool chic.

She was game to some typical bridal shower games which were so fun.

Anything that's called Full Of Promise is bound to be great for me.
At least, that's my theory.
A few months ago, I attended CEW's Product Demo and wanted to take the time to test out all the fabulous new products that are up for awards (happening May 17th). All the top beauty brands vie for the chance to win the coveted titles from CEW but I don't write about all of them.
I only write about products I love. This one definitely made the cut.

• Breuchaud first applied Laura Mercier Foundation Primer ($32), to give Hathaway’s skin an “even, lasting finish.”
• Then, he used a damp sponge to apply Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Porcelain ($43) to even out her skin tone and give the skin an “amazingly sheer veil of color.”
• Lastly, he lightly dusted on Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder ($22) to set the Tinted Moisturizer and ensure the skin kept its “dewy finish” throughout the night.

• First, Breuchaud mixed Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Orchid ($24) with Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Deep Night ($23). 
• In order to deepen the look, he applied Laura Mercier Crème Eye Liner in Noir ($22) to her lash line and blended the eye liner throughout the corner of her eye using the Laura Mercier Corner Eye Colour Brush ($25).   
• Breuchaud added the final touch of glamour by applying multiple coats of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara in Black ($24) to the top and bottom lashes.

• Breuchaud applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Pink Blush ($26), which he described as a “beautiful soft pink” to Hathaway’s lips

Today, I tested out Aerosoles' Soft Touch flats and fell in love. The thing that stood out for me the most was that it actually matched my skin tone. The nude shoe trend has been around for a few years now. Women have been enjoying that leg-lengthening effect in pumps, strappy sandals and flats. I, on the other hand, was left on the side lines. I just couldn't find a nude that actually looked nude with my skin. They all looked...well....pink.

Well, I'm here to tell you that, if you have a deeper skin tone, check out Aerosoles' Soft Touch flats. The benefit of the nude shoe is also that it matches with EVERYTHING. It's a super easy slip-on shoe.
They're comfy.
They're cute.
AND they're nude.

I reviewed them for Lady and the Blog. Read the full review here.

Adam and I are getting married and we're pretty psyched about it. We've been having a major problem, though.

We have very little time to plan the wedding.

We originally planned for it to happen in May but we just simply didn't have the time to plan it. We pushed it back to August and have been trying super hard to get everything together. One of the hardest things is finding time to go look at venues. We visited the Fire Museum, the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Woodmont Day Camp. We LOVED the Fire Museum. The only issue is that we both love nature and would so prefer some fresh air. The Brooklyn Navy Yard was awesome. They really support local businesses, which we both have. It wasn't within our budget, though. We finally decided on Woodmont Day Camp for 3 reasons.

1) There is tons of space. There's a lake, pools, many buildings, and so much green! I also loved that there were options for an indoor or outdoor wedding, without having to get a tent.
                      

                      
2) It's a day camp. Adam runs Kids Creative and they have a summer camp every year. It is kinda cute that we will be paying homage to what has been consuming his last 13 years.
3) The price was really good. It's out of the city but only by 35 minutes. This meant that the price dropped significantly.



Now that we've picked a place, it's on top EVERYTHING else! Any volunteers to plan this for me?

Makeup artist Lisa Aharon did Florence Welch's makeup with Laura Mercier products for the New York City premiere of The Great Gatsby. Her goal was to achieve a balanced, pretty look. She didn't want anything to be too overpowering. Here is a detailed how-to guide on how to achieve this look. 

• First, Aharon applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sugar Frost ($24) from the lash line to the crease, using the Laura Mercier Finishing Eye Brush ($32).    
• She then used a combination of the new Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Colours, part of the Folklore Collection, to create the golden eye.  She first patted Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Colour in Sun Glow($24) onto the top of the lid and then applied Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Colour in Earth Glow($24) to Welch’s lash line.  
• Aharon added the final touch of glamour by curling Welch’s lashes and applying Laura Mercier Corner Faux Eyelashes ($18) to her top lashes.

• Aharon first prepped the skin with RéVive Tonique Préparatif ($52) and then applied RéVive Sensitif Day ($195) all over the face. 
• She applied Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Nude ($43) to Welch’s face to even out her skin tone.
• She then used Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC-1 ($30) to conceal imperfections and brushed Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in #1($22).
• Next, she dusted Laura Mercier Mineral Finishing Powder ($32) to Welch’s T-Zone to set the singer’s makeup. 
• Lastly, Aharon applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Rosebud ($24) onto the apples of the cheeks, keeping the blush very sheer, and finished the look by applying Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Highlight ($36) to the tops of Welch’s cheekbones.

• Aharon first applied Laura Mercier Shimmer Lip Colour in Sandcastle ($24) onto Welch’s lips and then set the colour by applying Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Praline ($22) to the center of her lips and blending outwards.

I have a tendency to rush through life. I'm not the best at stopping to smell the roses. I try my bestest to make a conscious effort to do that.

Today, I was on my way to a meeting in Williamsburg and realized that the fastest way was with the Water Taxi. I jumped on it and it literally changed my day. The breeze was blowing lightly, the water crashed gently against the boat and the view of the city was breathtaking.
Life in New York can really suck you in and before you know it, you've been here 10 years. I'm now learning to enjoy moments in life. I took a moment to take in the view and feel grateful for the fact that I get to be on a ferry in the middle of a workday.

I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa Rycroft at a Clearblue event to launch their Advanced Digital Ovulation Test. It's a bit early for me for that but I learnt so much. Click here to read my post on Lady and the Blog.

Most of the time, having my own line is pretty awesome. I set my own hours and get to see my vision come to life. Sometimes, though, the other side of it hits me. The problem with setting my own hours is that I never stop working. The problem with bringing my vision to life is that I am the only one with this vision in my head.

Sometimes, it gets pretty lonely. Yesterday was one of those days. I had a meeting that went well for the most part except for one thing. I, as usual, focused on the one part that didn't go well. I was pretty bummed about it even today when I went to a meeting in Red Hook with a fashion incubator.

Let me tell you.

There is nothing like hanging out with fellow artists and business owners that gets my spirits up. I bitched a bit about my issues and they knew exactly what I was talking about. It felt good to know that I wasn't the only one going through this.

Sometimes, it's good to reach out to other designers. Stay away from the people that feel they need to compete for resources and steal ideas to succeed. That shit is bad karma. There are so many visionaries that just want each other to succeed.

Find them and stick with them.

It'll all be okay in the end.
