Fame by Lady Gaga Perfume Giveaway -UPDATE- WINNER ANNOUNCED

Going alongside the release of her latest album, ARTPOP, Lady Gaga announced she will be going to tour to promote it, and in lieu of all of this excitement, we are giving away a 3.4 oz bottle of Fame by Lady Gaga, the Eau De Parfum which retails for $79 at Macy’s and Macys.com.

This is one of my favorite fragrances, as it contains both fruity and floral notes of incense, juicy apricot, honey, jasmine, sambac and tiger orchidea. Plus, the fragrance is so unique and state-of-the-art that the fluid is actually a black color, and once spritzed, it becomes invisible when airborne. You’ve truly got to experience it to believe it!

Here’s what you need to do to enter:

1. Do one of the following: Follow us on Pinterest, Follow @FashionPulseDaily on Instagram, or Sign up for our Newsletter.

2. Let us know in the comments below which one you did – SIGN UP/SUBSCRIBE TO ONE OF THESE OPTIONS THAT YOU AREN’T ALREADY SUBSCRIBED TO, PRETTY PLEASE!

Congrats to Melissa H. of New Haven, CT for winning! Thanks to everyone who entered!

Pair it with This: Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co Bone Cuff

by Julia DiNardo

First created in the 1970s, Elsa Peretti’s bone cuff for Tiffany & Co has certainly stood the test of time, thanks to its sleek, modern design that seems to never get old. After four decades in existence, it seems like a safe investment, don’t you think? Prices range from $395 for a small cuff in ruthenium (from the platinum family) or black carbon finish over copper styles, to upwards of $23,000 for a solid 18 karat gold version in size large.

That means that this is certainly an item for the bucket list, but you can certainly start fantasizing about what style, size, and wrist (choose from right or left) you’d get, starting now! This cuff really looks amazing with a variety of looks, however I’ve put together some top trends for 2014 (silky blouses, pearl jewelry, mint bags, printed pants) to help transition the cuff into this year.

In This Look:

Equipment Slim Signature Blouse, available at Shopbop.com

ICB Scarf Print Pant

Rebecca Minkoff Curbs Stud Earrings, available at Shopbop.com

Your Winter Hair Color Woes Solved with These 4 Tips from Sherry Ratay

by Julia DiNardo

My lovely hair color aficionada, expert colorist and owner of Salon Ratay, Sherry Ratay, is going to help you get through the winter, all the while preserving your hair color as much as humanly possible. Take Sherry’s lead, and with very little effort you can ensure your locks stay lustrous, hydrated, shiny, and opulent!

Tip #1: “Moisturize, Moisturize, and Moisturize YOUR HAIR! We take care of our skin throughout the various seasons, so let’s not forget about our hair. I just love the Minardi Pre-Wash for this; just saturate your dry hair and then wrap it in a warm towel, let it sit for a bit, then shampoo it out with Minardi Wash #3, and finish up with Afterwash #3.”

Tip #2: “Cover your beautiful hair with a scarf. Remember that your hair is surrounded by extra dryness with heaters and recycled air, and it can only take so much. Remember to maintain your monthly haircuts, since your ends will be less likely to split with more frequent trims.”

Tip #3: “Let’s talk adjusting the actual hair color: if you’re a blonde, brunette, or redhead, winter is the perfect season to create ribbons of butterscotch, amber, caramel, tangerine, terra cotta, cherry cola, and merlot throughout. Winter is all about creating richness and texture within the hair, so don’t be afraid to add in some extra dimension.”

Tip #4: “Winter weather tends to dry and dull out your hair color, so I recommend a visit to the salon in between your scheduled touch ups and to get a glaze treatment. A glaze will refresh the tone, condition the hair, and create spectacular shine.”

Make Valentine’s Day All About YOU This Year

by Julia DiNardo

You know, it’s great to celebrate V-Day with traditional items like candy, red lace lingerie, and teddy bears, but what about those of us that don’t celebrate it? It’s really just another day, albeit perhaps even slightly annoying even, if you’re not into it or have any plans. Ladies, let’s reclaim the holiday.

This year, I propose dedicating Valentine’s Day to more of a “treat yourself” day; go for that spa treatment you’ve been meaning to try for ages, eat something a little indulgent, and buy yourself something nice, because when it comes down to it, you REALLY deserve it!

Here’s a few items that may be vaguely reminiscent of that February 14th holiday, however we’ve carefully peppered in a handful of fashionable items that will work for you WAY beyond that single day.
