Shecky's Girls Night Out

Last week was Shecky's SOLD OUT "Girls Night Out" event in New York City at the la.venue & Terminal Stores on 28th Street. Shecky's gives out complimentary cocktails and treats (the free smores were a nice surprise), discounted fashion (anything from designer labels to vintage to up and coming artists) and of course the famous goodie bag, which includes a hodge podge of items.

I also got the chance to meet up with Glamour.com's fashion editor, Tracey Lomrantz and had a great chat about her attending the Inauguration this year and her upcoming trip to Amsterdam.

Shecky's events are an awesome opportunity to look for unique fasion pieces, catch up with old girlfriends and meet new ones! I'm looking forward to this summer's "Girls Night Out" :)

A Glowing Lindsay Lo

Everyone knows Li-Lo has perfected the art of a year-long glow. So it's no surprise that she's coming out with a spray tan line through Sephora so everyone can try to imitate a great fake bake (perhaps not quite as orange as Lohan's been in the past). The Stay Gold Collection is set to hit stores this spring, just in time for the warm weather. Get glowin'!

Lauder Loves Freida

Not many people can say they've become a celebrity overnight, but the star actress of Slumdog Millionaire, Freida Pinto, is truly your rags-to-riches story. The once struggling model not only has bragging rights for the 8 Oscars Slumdog snagged, but Freida is rumored to be making a deal with Estee Lauder--joining the ranks of legendary beauties: Liz Hurley and Gwenyth Paltrow. Freida will also soon be gracing the covers of Cosmopolitan and Vogue. I have a strong feeling this gorgeous starlet won't just be a one-film wonder.

Can't Live Without...

This season I've experimented with a lot of products that help keep my skin looking and feeling healthy. Here are my go-to winter items that are always in my purse:

Softlips Lip Protectant / Sunscreen in Cherry, Vanilla or Rasberry, $3.69 for 2, drugstore.com
Especially during these harsh winter months when the air's super dry, I'd still like my pout to be moisturized. I never leave home without some form of chapstick, but Softlips definitely helps my lips feel healthier and hydrated for longer.

Chanel Glossimer Lip gloss, $27, chanel.com
This lip gloss adds the perfect amount of shine without all the stickiness of other lip glosses. I use a limited edition shade called "Constellation," but a similar color available on the site would be "Sunset Gold." Both are a perfect peachy-orange color with flecks of gold.

L'Occitane Creme Mains (Hand Cream) in Lavender, $20, loccitane.com
Nobody wants to have their gloves rubbing up against cracked skin, so I like to always have this L'Occitane hand cream, well, on hand. Ican instantly feel nourishment with the shea butter and vitamin E and the tube lasts for months!

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer, $22, bobbibrowncosmetics.com
I'm normally a night owl (must be those late nights of studying...) and staring at the computer all day strains my eyes leaving not-so-friendly raccoon rings. I can fake a good night's sleep with this ultra creamy Bobbi Brown concealer. It's packed with vitamins A and E, which help reduce fine lines and adds antioxidant protection.

i.d. Bare Minerals face color in "Warmth," $20, sephora.com
"Warmth" by Bare Escentuals is an all-over face color that makes it look like you just came home from a day at the beach. A little goes a long way with this mineral make-up--I've had the same one for half a year! It gives my fair skin tone a subtle bronzed glow.
