The After Party

That's my party dress.


I wore my best for our Red Event last week.


It must have been good luck because we were PACKED!


Our fantastic customers were shopping, snacking, sipping, & laughing!
What more could you ask for?


Marlyn Schiff was fabulous.


She was so chic and cool that customers couldn't help but buy the jewels right off her neck!


Seriously.


She had no jewelry on when she left the store.





What's up for this week?


THE BLACK WEEK!


Black Friday now starts TODAY for our customers only.


Friday it goes public.


So if you want to bypass the Friday frenzy, I'd recommend popping in now.


The stores are decked with the hautest accessories for holiday.


Enjoy my friends.





'TIS THE SEASON!








HAPPY SHOPPING!

Tricks and Treats are fun to share, especially when halloweens in the air.

Makeup by Gabriella.

With halloween creeping up I figured I’d show all of you little makeup mavens a thing or to about celebrating this holiday in a "boo-tiful" way.
Halloween is my favorite holiday because it's all about being someone or something you're not. And I, as being someone who normally steps outside of the brown box and into a glittery one feels this is a perfect time for you ladies to be creative!

Okay, so the most essential items when you're going out for this spooktacular holiday is your costume and a pair of to die for lashes. The top two brands I would steer towards are M.A.C. and Makeup Forever. If you're looking for more of a dramatic lash without all of the feathers and glitter M.A.C. is a better choice. Their 44 Lash is beautiful and dramatic ($15 at M.A.C.). As for Makeup Forever they have every color, feather, length, you could ask for! Be a little daring and try out those fun lashes you've been thinking about but had no where to wear them to ($15 at Sephora).

Do you have a love/hate relationship with your lipstick? I know I do. Try these lips on for size, Violent Lips come in all different colors and styles. Glitter, leopard print, fishnet, you name it they have it. They are a temporary lip tattoo, come in a variety of colors, last for four-eight hours, and also come with three appliques. Prices range, they're sold at Sephora for $15 or you can check them out on their site at http://www.violentlips.com/collections/all.

For that ultra flashy look try out Ultra Flesh. It’s a smudge resistant face and body spray makeup that comes with three detailing pens and nine reusable stencils. Spray colors that come with this kit are as follows: black moondust, pink stardust, and gold golddust. ($60 at Sephora, I suggest purchasing this product online because there is no shipping!)

I'm personally a glitterholic and need my daily dose. For those of you who have costumes that require some glitter for your lips, hair, or body need to try this it's addicting! Remember a little bit goes a long way, to apply use a wet brush and pat on the skin for a more lasting effect. A little tip for you ladies: when putting glitter in your lipgloss or buying a glitter gloss it gives more of a voluminous effect. Move over plastic surgeons here comes the glitter gloss! And if you need the glitter to stick to your body/hair dampen the area a bit put some glitter in the palm of your hand and blow onto the areas as needed ($13 at Sephora).

Hope you ladies have more treats then tricks!
Lots of lashes of love,
Gabriella

Athletic calves need boots too...

It's VERY hard having any sort of calf muscle and fitting into high boots.
Let's get honest here.
I run around the back yard like a wild woman and to be frank,
I was born with big calves.
Yes I am a Havanese with big calves.
What's a girl to do?
Buy the "Paris" boot, that's what.
The back zipper and side elastic REALLY help a girl out in these times of need.
Plus, it's ultra-slimming and looks RAD with leggings and long tunic.
Sign me up!
If you don't believe me, try them on at ViVi G.
They're designed by Delman and are made with luxe Italian leather.
Later girls...
I have some strutting to do.
There is a very handsome yellow lab that lives next door who loves a lady in a nice pair of boots.

Happy Shopping!

GUEST BLOGGER BY OUR FAMED GABRIELLA!

We are taking a brief hiatus about blogging for fashion.
We bring you a famed makeup artist.
Miss Gabriella.

Today we'll be talking colors but on your eyes not your feet. This fall, neutrals are in (and always will be) but in matte and shimmer. Also some of the cooler toned colors such as charcoals, blues, plums, etc. If you're looking to complete your wardrobe with a pair of shoes, have no fear the shoe queens are here!

Now I know the late Elvis Presley had talked about some blue suede shoes but he would have really had a reason to shake his hips over these. For all of you daring girls out there that are looking for that pop of color, try on Rebecca Minkoff's "Dish" for size. You'll be coming back for seconds. (Makeup to wear: any nude color on the lid, champagne shimmer on the brow bone, and blue in the crease to give you that blue smokey eye.)



As all of you ladies may know, python is all the rage this fall. Well if these bootie's don't hiss snaketastic I don't know what does! Check out the Chim Chim by Bettye Muller, I know it's one of my favorites. (Makeup to wear: Choose the naked palette from Urban decay, they have all neutrals and are perfect for the fall! I personally would do a brown smokey eye and a nude lip.)

Lots of lashes of love and shoes and shoes galore!
