V Magazine issue #60 – The Beauty Issue hits newsstands on Monday, July 7th but I was lucky enough to sneak a peek at one of the features: “Beauty 2010.” For it, V asked the world’s leading creative directors, makeup artists, and hairstylists to define what will be beautiful for the new decade. 2010 sounds like the future, and this is what it will look like.
This holiday is a WELCOME one for me (as I'm sure it is for you). It's been a particularly LONG and difficult week as I spent the past couple of days moving seven years of belongings (including ten boxes of beauty products...oh, the shame!) to a new apartment. While I did, of course, hire professionals (I'm not down with heavy lifting), between packing and moving boxes, the entire experience has still been beyond exhausting.
Blessedly, C.O. Bigelow's new Mentha Tingling Foot Cream arrived at my desk. This peppermint oil-infused moisturizer is a heavenly treatment for anyone with warm, tired and/or overworked feet (i.e. me). The scent is beyond invigorating and the tingle is super, duper refreshing. Honestly, right about now, I'd be happy to sink my entire, aching body into a tub full of this 'ish.
Snag a tube now for $14 or 2/$20!
$59.00 by House of Dereon at Dillard's
Oh, the horror of House of Deréon knows no limits. But Beyoncé and Tina Knowles just won't let up - they are merciless - in fact, Women's Wear Daily reported yesterday that the duo plan to launch a new brand for juniors, Sasha Fierce for Deréon, this fall.
Looking to capitalize on the singer’s alter ego and third solo album, “I Am…Sasha Fierce,” the collection pays homage to the singer's world tour. The line includes a full range of sportswear and accessories. The jewelry, shoes and eyewear, Tina added, “are really over the top” (really? What a surprise, Tina!) while the clothing is more a little more subdued to make the accessories stand out — a one-shoulder dress, black bodysuit, fake leather jacket with oversize collar, leggings and destructed jeans with mesh and lace details lining the ripped material.
The collection, Tina said, is “edgier and trendier and reflects Sasha Fierce’s daring and outgoing attitude.”
Will you be shopping Sasha Fierce this fall?
Last week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a Style Coalition video shoot with 14 other amazing fashion bloggers, including Carolyn Hsu of The Daily Obsession, Jean Pratt of Style Observer and project mastermind Yuli Ziv of My It Things.
The campaign will be released in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more details on the project and my involvement!
Special thanks to Dex New York stylist Scott Wasserman and makeup artist John Henry for creating the look above.

Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue for twenty years, is undoubtedly THE most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion.
Hidden behind her trademark bob and sunglasses, she has never allowed anyone to scrutinize the inner workings of her magazine. Until now. With unprecedented access, filmmaker R.J. Cutler’s new film THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE aims to do for fashion what he did for politics in The War Room, taking the viewer inside a world they only THINK they know.
The documentary will open in New York on August 28th and nationally on September11, 2009 - but for a sneak preview, check out the trailer below!

If a natural nail is your 'thang', meet your new BFF. Dashing Diva's Gelife Manicure is THE answer for gals who prefer a glossy, natural to nails.
During the Gelife mani, two coats of a soft, removable gel are applied (just like nail polish) and then heat-cured under a UV light after each coat. The gel immediately sets in the UV light, leaving a manicure (or pedicure) that lasts for up to two weeks and requires no drying time. In fact, the entire mani only takes about 25 minutes (a bit longer if you choose to go French...but why would you?)
The Gelife gloss is UNBEATABLE and the mani lasts forever with no chipping. Best of all, the DD-exclusive formula causes no damage - in fact, because it contains calcium salt, Gelife can actually help strengthen your natural nails. It's truly amazing stuff!
The only downside? Gelife does require some extra time to remove. Nails have to be soaked in pure acetone for 10 minutes before the gel begins to lift.
For more information or to find a salon, go to www.dashingdiva.com. The UV Gelife Manicure is $45, while a Gelife Pedicure is $60.
