2013 Met Gala
This year's Met Gala has a punk theme, in honor of the Met Museum's spring exhibition entitled "PUNK: Chaos to Couture." The stars arrived with punk hair and makeup, but kept the dresses beautiful and elegant. Read on for my best and worst dressed!
BEST:
Naomie Harris in Donna Karan. I just adore the color and the feathers. This dress looks like it was made for her.
Love SJP and Elizabeth Banks
50 Best Beauty Products of 2013
I don’t know about you, but every May I wait in anticipation for InStyle’s Top Beauty Buys, but the last couple of years I have been totally underwhelmed. The same products over and over, both high and low end, the same boring categories, despite the fact that many women will buy 5 different kinds of eyeshadows, but skip the hair and nail treatments for the salon. So I have made my own, heavy on the products I think women in their 20s and 30s want to buy. My choices are heavily informed by my LOVE of Birchbox and the monthly treats I receive, the expert advice I receive from my favorite stylist (Lindsey at Blown Away, hair designer (Chris at Trim), and makeup artist (Darren at Chanel/YSL – Saks). GO, now, and see them! Also my random finds at Target, Sephora, and my salons. Here they are, in no particular order. Enjoy!

Annual Birthday Wish List
The month of May is the best! And not just because it's my birthday month. Although that's one of the reasons :) I always make a birthday wish list at the beginning of the month and this year will be no different.
I'm combing my wants and needs for my bday wish list this year, but I do have one giant WANT:
Great list! Plus, Burch wedges 30% off at Saks presale.
