Here’s what I saw, tested, and conquered this week from the world of fashion and beauty!

I stopped by the new Elaine Turner boutique this past week, located in New York’s Upper East Side to take in the newest arrivals from the brand’s resort line (dubbed Destination: Buenos Aires), and learn a bit more about the brand’s signature style and different approach to product and selling. The Texas-based brand offers a well-edited mix of affordable yet luxurious apparel and accessories, blending right into its Madison Avenue surroundings,  yet creating a relaxed and update atmosphere to shop in, with brightly painted walls, and plush pink couches to lounge on, with the option of occupying one of your hands with a glass of champagne; after all- shouldn’t shopping be an uplifting experience?

Have you been on the hunt for a lovely new scarf? If so, check out the lineup of Garcia Artwear scarves, inspired by the drawing of the one and only, Jerry Garcia.
