#MansomeMonday: Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial

An overnight facial will drastic effects, Korres’ Sleeping Facial is a perfect combination of natural wild rose and Vitamin C to help brighten your face and make it one tone. This product is also helpful for hyper pigmentation, more commonly called acne scars (discoloration).

A sweet meets you every time you open the jar and a small amount will go a long way. I find this product very strong and due to my sensitive skin I only use it once per week, but when I wake in the morning I see results.

This product is also great for long distance flights, especially overseas. Make sure to put it on and then sleep. When you arrive to where you are going you will look awake and ready for the day. Whose says you can’t get a facial on a flight?

Summer Sunglasses (with a cause!)

Finally, a few days of nice weather here in New York. The weather keeps shifting back and forth between hot and cold.

Recently, an awesome brand named Waveborn reached out to me and told me about their sunglasses. I quickly wanted to get to know them better and their product. Basically, every time you buy a pair of shades, someone in need of eyeglasses somewhere in the world will get them. They call it “Buy One, Give One.” Kind of awesome, right?

#MansomeMonday: Caolion Blackhead O2 Bubble Pore Pack

This amazing product is the Caolion Blackhead O2 Bubble Pore Pack. The cream reacts with the oxygen in the air to cleanse pores deep down. This product is only found in the Asian markets, but thanks to Peach and Lily, this product, and many others, are available to US customers.

I reached out to the fabulous ladies behind the Peach and Lily and got these awesome tips:

The best thing for the O2 pack is to make sure the face is super clean first. It could also help to apply right after a hot shower once the pores are opened up a bit more with the steam. The most important thing though is to be consistent about using the product and to understand that cleaning pores isn’t a once in a blue moon activity, but should be a regular part of the skincare regimen.

Additionally, the pore minimizing pack is great to use after this as the idea is to 1. clean pores, 2. make them tighter (which helps to keep them cleaner as less opportunity for them to get clogged) and repeat. - Alicia Yoon, Co-Founder

This product is a must try if you want to clean out your pores before hitting the beach.

Summer Plaid

Plaid. Just that word can some times make you apprehensive to a shirt, but with the right styling you will look great! I took this short sleeve button and just threw a simple cardigan on top. Easy! You can’t tell that it is short sleeve at all.

Finals week is quickly approaching as my first year of college comes to an end. In addition, I have started a new job for part of the summer. I am now the PR Assistant at Vince. This job is full-time and demands a lot of my attention, but I promise to make sure my blogging keeps up.

I also have so much in the works. I am going to Miami for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim and I am attending a private preview of the new Met exhibit before the Gala.

Make sure you following me on my various social medias so you can keep up to date!

Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf’s

The other day I was able to attend a private screening of “Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorfs,” with Arushi and Freddy thanks to Socialyte.

The film is another must-see for those fashion obsessed. This film was certainly unique and informative, but some areas were a tad dragged out. The overall film played out as a very detailed history lesson with examples. The overarching theme, and item referred back to constantly, was the windows.

Surprisingly, this film gave an insight in to how much top employees could make in commission. Though the exact number is no disclosed, it is hinted to be North of $400,000.

In this film, there was no one person the film centered on. You could argue Linda Fargo, but from what I could tell everyone got a little bit of time and you learned some of their stories.

If there is one thing you should take away from this film it is that you should never judge a book by the cover.

Overall, I would give this film a 4/5. Find locations and times here!

The Gatsby Collection by Brooks Brothers

Catherine Martin, costume designer for the much-atticipated film, The Great Gatsby, has collaborated with Brooks Brothers on a massive capsule collection.

Brooks Brothers created over 1,700 items for the film. The collection will showcase some of the finest pieces: canes, hats, a plethora of bow ties, and more!

You should make a move on these pieces soon as I am sure they will sell out very fast.

Dont’ forget: The Great Gatsby hits theaters nationwide on May 10!

Keep it simple

Having just gotten back from L.A. I wanted to dress sharp, but casual. A super soft pullover, jeans (that look like khakis), and comfortable oxfords was the best route to go.

American Eagle Back-to-School/Fall 2013 Press Preview

Going back to school just got easier. I have been a fan of American Eagle since I worked at one of their stores from sophomore year to halfway through senior year of high school. American Eagle is all about styling. I learned a lot of neat tricks and tips while working there. If there is one thing I will always love about the brand it is their denim.

American Eagle unveiled some really different pieces for this upcoming season. More colored and “fun” button downs and the new AEO active line was unveiled. This line consists of all performance-wear pieces for working out.

I’m excited to try out some of the workout pieces. I do try everyday to dress nicely, but I like lounging around every now and again.

I am currently in California for the DECA International CDC. I have been a member of DECA since my freshman year of high school and I am so happy to continue in to Collegiate DECA.

While here, I popped in to LA for WeTheUrban’s Coachella Party and had a night on the town with a bunch of my friends. It was great! Today is my last day here, but it was a wonderful trip. I’ve never been on the west coast so this was a treat.

I paired a tank with preppy, flat front shorts to keep everything casual while out here. Also, a little arm candy never hurt any one.

I am currently in California for a conference and the weather is amazing. I now have consistent weather to wear some of my favorite spring pieces.

Before coming here I was able to team up with Elie Tahari to shoot a bunch of their Spring/Summer 2013 pieces during my stay.

Slim jeans, oxfords without socks, a bright polo and a cardigan. This is my uniform for cool spring and summer days. I would add a cardigan just to prep up my look year round. Dark denim, cuffed, helps keep the look very casual.

Weekend With Elie

So, I got a haircut. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments, but I feel it is really short! Thoughts?

This weekend, the temperature has dropped so that means break out the transition pieces: A pullover top, a nice windbreaker (I would wear this year round), and a pair of my favorite khakis. I was wearing all very neutral colors and I wanted to add a pop. The easiest thing to do was to switch out my shoelaces and I am keeping these ones in. They offer the prefect pop.

What are you wearing to transition from in to spring and summer?
