Hey everyone! Today I wanted to do a non-traditional "Manicure Monday" to share with you one of the most exciting experiences of my life: going backstage at Badgley Mischka's New York Fashion Week show for their Fall '14 Ready-to-Wear collection. I cannot begin to say what an honor it was to not only be there in New York this year but to see first-hand the beautiful looks and preparation it took to get the girls runway ready for the big show. 

I can't wait to share with you the hair, makeup, and nails of this beautiful collection!

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share Clinique's new Cheek Pop blush in 4 universally beautiful shades. When I first saw these blushes I was immediately smitten with the adorable gerber daisy-embossed powder showcased through an attractive, clear compact. As an admittedly hopeless blush addict, you know I was all glossy-eyed and drooling like a kid in a candy store. Yum, yum, yum!

Hey guys! Today I wanted to share with you a really rad gel mani I had done while I was in NYC for fashion week. This nail art design was by celebrity nail artist Jessica Tong aka @jesthemess who was enthusiastically recommended via mutual friends David Yi and Sena Yoo. 

When I was deciding on what I wanted for my nail design, I landed on a very graphic black design over "clear" negative space. I requested that she incorporate hearts because I got the mani on Valentine's Day so she hand-painted and studded this piece as the final artwork, which was SO ME and exactly what I wanted!
