    The Best Restaurant Recommendations

    When entertaining out-of-town guests recently, we enjoyed dinners at two of our all-time NYC favorites: Raoul’s (on Friday night) and Indochine (on Saturday night).  I happened to mention The Infatuation when discussing other favorites in the neighborhood but was met with blank stares by our friends.  If you live in NYC or Los Angeles, you’re likely very familiar with the best restaurant blog on the planet, The Infatuation.  If you don’t live in a major city, you may not have heard of them, so definitely check them out next time you’re traveling to a new city (especially NYC or LA)…

    Better Than Dry Brushing: Exfoliating Gloves

    Speaking of being in the shower, if you don’t own a pair of exfoliating gloves, fix that STAT.  We all know how beneficial exfoliation is for the skin on your face, but people all too often forget to exfoliate the rest of their bodies.  Personally, I think this is because most handheld body brushes are just too awkward and exhausting.  I don’t have an hour to lounge in the tub with the damn thing everyday, I want something that’s easy to use and fast.  Cue exfoliating gloves.  There’s no unwieldy brush or pad, you’re able to exfoliate your entire body…

    Purple Shampoo For Blondes

    A reader recently asked about the shampoo I use, and since I have medium-dark blonde hair, my favorite shampoos are those that counteract brassiness.  There are a lot of great “purple” shampoos that allow you to maintain ashy blonde locks between colorings, and right now, my favorites are the Drybar Blonde Ale Brightening Shampoo and L’Oreal Paris EverPure Blonde Shampoo.  Both shampoos are sulfate and paraben free, and I use them a little differently: The Drybar version is much stronger so you would only use it once or twice a week when you feel like your hair is really looking too…

    Rachel Zoe one-shoulder blouses

    If you’ve followed me for any length of time you know that I’m a sucker for a one-shouldered top.  With eyes on spring, I’m totally salivating over two in particular right now from Rachel Zoe, this gorgeous ruffle blouse and this long-sleeve top with choker detail.  I think they’d be especially beautiful for any brides-to-be at a bridal shower or bachelorette party.

    Overnight Spot Treatments

    I read about Peach Spot Dot acne patches for the first time last year in this article on Byrdie and they’ve saved my life countless times since.  As a disclaimer, I don’t have much trouble with acne, but I do have the kind of luck that seems to bring about a spot right before a big meeting or important conference.  These patches are totally mind-blowing and truly zap blemishes overnight.  Run don’t walk.

    What Do You Think About Belt Bags?

    Okay, DON’T PANIC, but one of my favorite trends of the season is a modern take on the fanny pack—the belt bag.  My favorite way to style it is pictured in this shot from fashion week, where you can see I’m wearing this See by Chloe bag over my suit like a waist belt.  Interestingly, I originally purchased it on Net-A-Porter which billed it as a belt bag, but I now see the same bag for sale on Shopbop where it’s described as a cross-body.  Bottom line: if you’re looking to dip your toe into the trend, this bag is a…

    Longwear Liquid Lip Color: Perfect Everyday Colors

    You’ve heard me wax on about this NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment many times in the past, especially when looking to achieve the perfect bold red or burgundy lip that lasts all night.  However, I just tried two of their lighter shades as well which has made me love the product even more.  Currently, shade “Get It On” is my favorite for an understated, natural color that doesn’t budge all day long.  I love it so much I also just ordered “American Woman” and will report back on whether it’s a keeper as well!

    My Favorite Super Soft Pjs

    While on the subject of sleep, I constantly get asked about the favorite pajamas that I’ve shared many times on instagram.  These Moonlight pajamas by Nordstrom are so incredibly soft, hold up perfectly wash after wash, and are just the most comfortable PJs I’ve ever owned.  I have about 6 pairs of the black set alone, but also have a few other colors as well that I love and am currently eyeing up the pretty grey and white stripe.

    Why You Should Be Using Silk Pillowcases

    If you haven’t hopped on the silk pillowcase bandwagon it’s officially time to climb aboard.  While I prefer cotton sheets on our bed, I’ve been using this silk pillowcase for the past couple years and it’s completely game-changing.  I’m so committed to my silk pillowcases that I permanently keep one in my suitcase so I can put it on my hotel pillow when traveling.  I know.  What a weirdo. But here’s why:  silk fibers are less absorbent than cotton and other fibers, so silk pillowcases help your skin retain moisture and nutrients from the skincare products you apply before bed. …
