MoMA Design Store, the retail component to the Museum of Modern Art here in NYC ALWAYS has the coolest stuff. From décor to tabletop and even apparel and jewelry, you can bet that the products offer thoughtful design, oftentimes coupled with cutting edge technology, materials, and innovations. I recently attended a press preview to taken in the upcoming items, and was impressed by the array of jewelry and apparel offerings, as well as the Manhattan-centric Destination: NYC collection– available May 15th, featuring varied pieces from local artists, including one of my faves, Alexis Bittar.
Some of my favorites are in the slideshow above, which you can all shop now at MoMAStore.org (but you still have to wait for the Destination: NYC collection)! Plus, if you’re a fan of the products and are getting married, you can easily set up a registry there!

The Oscars is a night to celebrate cinematography, but it is also a night that brings great buzz about who was wearing what. So with no further ado, here is what we believe were the best dressed of the night in the following order:

1. Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture looked breathtaking in this ivory colored gown. This mermaid-style dress flowed in such a way that looked like Lawrence was walking on a cloud with this billowing bottom. Keeping the accessories to a minimum with diamond earrings and a necklace worn in a style reminiscent of Princess Diana, she let the dress do the talking. And that it did. Whether it was via Twitter or Facebook her dress was all the buzz and all in good reason.

2. Charlize Theron also chose a Dior Haute Couture white peplum gown. Marrying simplicity and elegance, the completion of this outfit exemplifies that less is more. With a strapless V-neck neckline, slimming bottom and train, this sultry look was one of our jaw-dropping favorites.

I recently tested Pureology‘s new Reviving Red system, which is comprised of concentrated oil-infused formulas to prevent bleeding and fading; something that I am certainly concerned with as a new redhead. I’ve tested the entire product line, which include protective Jaljala, coconut, olive and sunflower oils, as well as exclusive Oleo Antifade Complex and Lycopene extract to help prevent colour fading. I love love love these products!
The Reviving Red Shamp’oil coupled with the Reviving Red Reflective Conditioner keep up a daily shine and vibrancy, while the Illuminating Caring Oil seals the hair shaft to seal in the shade. once-a-week tiny Red Reflect Enhancer (also available for copper shades) ampule deposits color so that I can increase the longevity of my current dye job, and save money in the process. After several comments from friends in the beauty industry about how amazing my color is looking, even several weeks after the initial dye, I know that these products are WORKING it for me!

Think pretty, mainly natural makeup for fall 2013, and either focus on an amazing ip, or totally neglect it, and you will be on trend! See below for some of our favorite backstage makeup looks.
Soooo gorgeous, right? At Clover Canyon, lead makeup artist Deanna Melluso for Kevyn Aucoin created a “Russian ballerina ice princess” aesthetic that aws just utterly gorgeous. She started off with the brand’s Sensual Skin Tinted Balm coupled with Celestial Powder in Candlelight to give the cheekbones a slightly ethereal glow. The lips were kept pretty bare and matte, while the eyes got the royal treatment of Snow eyeshadow all over the lid and in the tearducts, finishing off with curling the lashes and Volume & Curling Mascara just to the top lashes — stunning!
