PROM: Class of 2010 Brought to You by Joonbug and FashionIndie

15May10

Joonbug.com and FashionIndie.com took the NYC party scene by storm when throwing a benefit for The Society of Independent Fashion Journalists at Espace this month.  Naming the event PROM: Class of 2010, I had no idea what was in store, but like any good New Yorker, I don’t need much of an excuse to put on a party dress and get ready to expect the unexpected.

What an evening! The space was definitely prom worthy, as we’re the guests who took the dress attire very seriously –I even overheard the girl in the ladies room say she is wearing her dress from senior year. Impressive considering mine should be burned (I still can not believe I ever wore a sea-foam green Jessica McClintok princess dress –by choice). Great 80s and 90s classics had the dance floor packed; there was even a performance by the St. John Cheerleaders!  They really delivered all the perks of prom, with the added bonus of being old enough to enjoy an open bar.  The only thing missing was more

Blake Lively at the 2010 MET Gala

4May10

When it comes to Blake Lively, I must admit I have total girl-envy. I attribute a lot of it to the first time I saw her at an intimate party she through for Penn Badgly after the premiere of ‘The Stepfather’.  She’s was so lovely, stylish and naturally stunning –I stared, it was impossible not to, she’s so effortlessly flawless.

Last night at the MET Gala, Lively looked gorgeous in her blue mini Marchesa dress and makeup look by Elaine Offers for NARS Cosmetics.

Get Blake Lively’s Makeup Look:

Using all NARS Cosmetics products, Elaine Offers used PRO-PRIME Skin Smoothing Face Prep, on her face, Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base and Goddess Soft Touch Shadow Pencil on her eyes, Beverly Hills Multiple Tint for cheeks and Love Devotion Lipstick on lips.

Well done, she looked impeccable!

DVF Ups the Ante on FREE SHIPPING!

9Apr10

In my post from this morning (where I drooled all over the new DVF iPhone cover), I expressed some confusion over the promo code ‘DVFSHIPFREE’ that Diane von Furstenburg posted about on their Facebook page as well as some difficulties I was experiencing while trying to order it off their website.

Go figure, I check my email and within an hour of the post going live the lovely people at Diane von Furstenberg sent me an email! They clarified the promo code ‘DVFSHIPFREE’ (to sum it up you could buy as many $400+ dresses you’d like but if there wasn’t an item in your shopping cart for under $100 –like the $20 iPhone cover, you don’t qualify for free shipping). But lets forget about that nonsense considering they shared an even better promo code with me!  Use APRILSHIP at checkout during the month of April and receive free ground shipping on more
