Project Lipstick: Making Each Makeup Application Count

Makeup. We all have our own personal relationship with it, and in many cases, can be an instant mood and confidence builder. A little bright lipstick can go along way, and it’s easy to forget that not everyone has access to products like these. Enter Project Lipstick, a terrific 501(c)3 non-profit organization that gives physical and emotional make-overs to those residing in women’s shelters that in turn helps with confidence and career placement.

Beauty and health/toiletry products are needed to distribute, and with several chapters of the organization throughout the USA, as well as a monetary donation option, it’s easy to get involved with the organization. I recently donated two massive bags of unused products that I had to the Project Lipstick New York chapter, which was so gratifying since I know they will go to a much better use than sitting in a drawer or bag in my apartment.

Coming up this July is Project Lipstick’s Sunset Soiree Benefit Party; another way to help out women in need and have a great time in the process! Click here for more details and to buy tickets.

Donna Karan has done it again! We are in love with the DKNY Cozy , but could you imagine an entire new line based off of the same great comfort, sophistication, and style? Well if so, you’re in luck. The designer has launched for the pre-fall season Donna Karan Casual Luxe, a new collection dedicated to luxurious comfort, however, keeping the vibe of effortless chic. Whether you’re on the go or sitting back with a good read, this line certainly enhances the everyday experience with the combination of georgette, leather, suede, and cotton to make these pieces timeless and seasonless; just what every wardrobe needs. From the casual sophistication of the new stretch pant and stretch skirt to a collection of soft t-shirts, stylish vests, and an oversized sweater, there are a multitude of perfect layering options. Really, the questions is: What pieces are you going to get?

No One Knows What Makes Love True Better than Tiffany

Living in New York City for almost 12 years, I feel that at this point I have a pretty good grasp on the city’s trappings, haunts, and ‘hidden spots.’ I am really glad to share, however, that Tiffany & Co. reminded me how lucky I am to live here, and that there is always more to discover, starting with their 37 Wall Street location that I didn’t even know existed!

After an intimate reception at the store, where bubbly and diamonds seemed to go hand in hand, we were given Bloggie videocams courtesy of Tiffany & Co to record the night’s experiences as we boarded a luxe mini bus and stopped at two surprise destinations (click here to check out the video I made in the store with my Bloggie).
