I was really excited to go to this event, created and hosted by beauty and lifestyle blogger Lianne Farbes of The Makeup Girl. Cocktails & Couture brings together some amazing bloggers, fashionistas, PR gurus, photographers and brands. Some of these brands include Lierac, Proactiv, Aveeno, Clairsonic, tarte cosmetics, Hpnotiq, Atopalm and PopChips. I loved the idea that this event was held at the Caravan Stylist Studio in Midtown Manhattan. The place was packed, vibes were flowing and I was able to meet some amazing people!
Including Ms. Lianne Farbes…

Day 2, actually night 2, found me attending Blogger’s Night Out at The Caulfield. Blogger’s Night Out was created by bloggers for bloggers and it’s a great way to meet and network with other fashion/beauty bloggers from all over the country. People came dressed to the nines and de place was jam packed!! I definitely picked up some new style ideas! The event also featured booths hosted by various sponsors showing the latest trends for spring and summer.
This booth was hosted by Plastics Make It Possible

Hey!!
So New York is in the throws of New York Fashion Week – Autumn/Winter’12. There are models, designers, makeup artists, bloggers, photographers running all over the city!
So last Thursday, Mattie from Mattielogie hosted a mixer for fashion bloggers of colour. I loved the idea of meeting other bloggers of colour especially in an industry like fashion. Since fashion and beauty go hand in hand, I found myself at Pranna. Pranna is a SouthEast Asian restaurant that is beautiful and huge! I definitely need to return for full dinner.

What’s going on???
One of the things that I love doing on the weekends (besides eating) is using an all-over body scrub. My skin gets super dry, itchy and flaky especially during the colder months. The wintery air and the dry heat of the radiator leaves my scaly. I sometimes even get dry patches that makes it look like I am moulting! So once a week, I exfoliate using a body scrub.
Exfoliation is vital to any skincare routine. The body generates new skin cells in the dermis (the innermost layer of skin) roughly every 28 days. As these new skin cells get older, they get pushed to the outermost surface of the skin (the epidermis), eventually die and gets filled with keratin (a protein). This keratin helps protect the skin from outside world. The epidermis then naturally gets eroded (or falls off) and so the cycle continues. As we get older, this constant process becomes less efficient and that leads to patches of flaky, dead skin cells that makes the skin less smooth. Also, when you apply moisturizers, serums, treatments etc., this flaky skin prevents these nutrients from getting to the deeper layers of skin. This is where exfoliation is important. When you remove this outer layer, you reveal fresher, healthier, younger looking skin and all your treatments are more effective. You want glowy skin? Start with exfoliation!
Recently I have been using the SheaMoisture Organic Argan Oil & Raw Shea Body Scrub with Frankincense & Myrrh.
