This sneak peek at holiday 2012 for the Natori Company was ripe with delicate and absolutely exquisite pieces ranging from bras, panties, and chemises to statement earrings, belts, sequined evening dresses, and even the new line of home decor and entertaining items. Above I’ve shared some of my favorites from Natori across the lines of Natori, Josie, and N Natori, including a new corset-inspired bra shape, elegant chemises in a gorgeous color change, silk obi belts, bone and mother of pearl earrings, and more! Stay tuned for these items to hit select specialty and fine department store, as well as online in the next few months.

This week I attended the exciting launches of Elizabeth Arden’s Beautiful Color Eye Shadow Collection and Visible Difference Skincare regimen which came out this month. Held in the gorgeous terrace of the Red Door Spa, I learned that the Beautiful Color Eye Shadow Collection, comprised of both singles (32 total shades, $18.50) and duos ( s$28.50) not only are incredible colors and crease-proof, but also include skincare! Vitamin A minimizes the look of fine lines and wrinkles while Vitamins C and E neutralize free radicals from destroying skin cells in the sensitive eye area.
The new Visible Difference Skincare regimen is customized to your skin (oily, combination or dry) with products to cleanse, tone, treat, and moisturize. Since my skin is dry, am perfect for the Gentle Hydrating Regimen that removes dirt and impurities so that it’s easier for the skin to retain and absorb moisture. There are also some additional skin treatments that can be used, regardless of your custom kit such as brightening eye gel, eye cream, masks, and primer. After testing these products, women saw a difference within six days – now that’s remarkable!
You can purchase all Elizabeth Arden products, including the new ones mentioned above now at department stores nationwide and at ElizabethArden.com.
