Performers Kelly Rowland, Martha Wainwright, Editor-in-chief of ELLE magazine Robbie Myers and Rita Ora
It was a night of fashion, music, and fabulous makeup on Wednesday night when ELLE Magazine hosted the 4th Annual Women in Music celebration at the Edison Ballroom in New York. The event, sponsored by COVERGIRL (who provided the complementary party favors of lip gloss, nail polish and mascara), honored the talented women who have made an impression on music as well as fashion. Attendees included ELLE’s editor in chief and creative director Robbie Myers and Joe Zee, Lala Anthony, Adrienne Bailon, Carrie Keegan, Phillip Bloch and hundreds more.

Everyone performer AND attendee looked fabulous and the soundtrack for the night kept the crowd happy with a special DJ set by Harley Viera-Newton. But what better way to celebrate inspiring female musicians than with a private concert? The night ended on a high note with performances by folk singer Martha Wainwright, British pop sensation Rita Ora, and Kelly Rowland, who got the crowd dancing with a medley of Destiny’s Child and even some Whitney Houston songs in the mix. The concert was the perfect finale to this stylish and musical evening that left everyone dancing, even if they were wear donning sky high five inch heels.

Peter Thomas Roth, the man behind the brand, and his team shared some of his favorite new items over a press breakfast this week, and at the top of the list was his CC Cream! Available in three tones, the Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Complexion Corrector brightens and corrects while providing powerful sun ray blocking skills and remaining free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. I also tested the amazing FIRMx Peeling Gel, which uses a clear formula of enzymes to lift away dead cellulose; you can actually see it coming up on your test area. Kinda gross, but also very effective! For aging skin care concerns the amino acid-rich Neuroliquid™ Volufill™ Youth Serum was recommended along with the FIRMx™ Firming Night Moisturizer.

There’s no denying that Baume & Mercier makes high quality, luxury watches with a great eye for detail, however the latest collection from the prestigious Swiss brand offers thoughtful fashion touches that brings the company assertively into the world of contemporary style with classic, resounding features. A watch as special as these make great gifts (graduation, anniversary, birthday, Mother’s & Father’s day) that can easily become heirloom pieces, yet, as I’ve found, balance on that fine line of perfectly suitable for every day wear and more formal occasions. I took in the new collection recently and am thrilled to share my favorite pieces; I tried to capture the amazing discreet finishes up close so that it’s easier to revel in the beauty and understanding of these fine time pieces.
New for Baume & Mercier include the handwoven lambskin straps, co-designed by actress, Emmanuelle Chriqui (of “Entourage” fame), along with a new strap collection, featuring a gorgeous satin strap option in navy, a gold two-tone bracelet, and more! All watches and accessories are available this April, May, and June, and can be purchased at Baume-et-Mercier.com.
