Maybelline It Girl of the Day: Me! Plus a Massive Maybelline Giveaway!
[Photo Courtesy of Mr. Newton]
Today is my birthday, and Maybelline made it EXTRA special by featuring me as their daily “It” girl on their NYC365 page! How wonderful! I was thrilled to be part of this fun new function of one of my favorite brands of all-time, not to mention I got to be photographed by the awesomely talented Mr. Newton, who will be shooting all of the images found on the Maybelline NYC365 page; a daily glimpse of New York street style paired with exemplary beauty and fashion inspirations for all. Stay tuned for “it” girls Amber Katz of Beauty Blogging Junkie, Rachel Adler of Beauty High, Cheryl Wischhover of Fashionista, and more!
I love flipping through the dates of previous “it” girls from the streets of New York, checking out how they might have chosen to pair a bright lip or smokey eyes with everyday clothes. Coolest of all, I love the tips at the bottom from the incredible Charlotte Willer, Global Makeup Artist for Maybelline.

Which Bag Should Be My Birthday Bag?
With my birthday being today, I’d like to buy myself a bag. I’ve been eyeing both of these for months, but have been unable to pull the trigger on just one. Will you help me decide? Let me know in the comments which one you like better. It’s the Matt & Nat Santogold Ikat Bag versus the Marc by Marc Jacobs Weavy T Shifty Satchel,
Matt & Nat Santogold Ikat Bag, $195
Pros:
Great size, print, limited edition, vegan, costs less than the MJ one, AND with each purchase, MATT & NAT will donate $21 to charity water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Weavy T Shifty Satchel, $378
Pros:
Only a few left, its a classic shape and great color, amazing texture, and..it’s Marc Jacobs!
