God Save My Shoes: A Well-Heeled Documentary

by

Sadly, I wasn’t able to make it to the screening of the documentary God Save My Shoes courtesy of The Accessories Council and CAID Productions last Friday, but was still fortunate enough to recently view the documentary about women and their passion for shoes. It is an interesting phenomenon, to think about the lengths women go to in order to wear and attain a collection or gorgeous looking footwear, and on some level, we all can relate to marveling at a great looking pair of pumps that we knew might not have been a logical, functional purchase, but went for it anyways.

Currently screening at Quad Cinema in NYC, the docu features interviews by famed shoemakers Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Bruno Frisoni, and Pierre Hardy, alongside fashion historians such as Valerie Steele (curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology) and Elizabeth Semmelhack, (curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto), and celebs such as Dita von Teese, Fergie, and Kelly Rowland.

VMV Hypoallergenics: A Natural Choice, And a FashionPulseDaily Favorite!

by

VMV skin the bluffThere’s no denying I’m a huge fan of Dr. Vermen Verallo-Rowell’s line of products, VMV Hypoallergenics, with categories range from sun and light protection, to makeup, bath and body, skin care, men, baby, and more. I love using her Know-it-Oil, VCO (virgin coconut oil) as an all-over moisturizer, which comes in as a close second to my love of olive oil as a beauty product. I recently attended an information luncheon on her newest products at her gorgeous Union Square store and spa, and here are the newest items from the line. Tell your skin issues their days are numbered-help is on the way!

Note: even if you don’t live in NYC, you can shop VMV Hypoallergenics 24/7 online!

Skin the Bluff Concealer (pictured), $20, available in four shades (three skin tone and one yellow shade), this little fabulous pot o’ magic gets rid of blemishes, shadows, discoloration, and dark circles while preventing acne and darkening. It includes USA-certified virgin coconut oil, with anti-oxidants, sun protectors, and is 100% fragrance free, dye, phthalate, paraben, and other preservative -free.

Red Better Flare-Up Balm, $50, is a steroid-free salve that is amazingly gentle, yet effective when it comes to calming down inflammation such as rosacea, allergic reactions, bites, infections, eczema, rashes, you name it! This is non-comedogenic, has been usage, patch and clinically tested, and per usual for VMV, it is 100% fragrance free, dye, phthalate, paraben, and other preservative -free.

Red Better Spot Corrector, $25-$40, is a non-drying acne balm that helps deal with rosacea-related acne gently by killing the micro-organisms causing acne and redness, give anti-inflammatory, soothing relief, and provides hydration.
