    Happy Valentine’s Day Lovers

    Ever since I saw March of the Penguins a few years ago, my respect and interest for these cute little birds have dramatically increased. Did you know that they are serially monogamous and after the mother lays the egg – it is actually the father who endures the bitter cold to hatch it?  Amazing.

    So for Valentine’s Day this year – I made my sweetie pie the cutest penguin waffles.

    This waffle maker was really hard to find but I was able to locate it with help of my amazing friend Fiona and her brother.

    So here it is!

    All Matte Everything with @OC8

    Shiny faces never look good in photos and even Instagram filters can’t save that! Yikes.

    When the OC8 arrived in my mailbox today I was more than excited to check it out. Similar to a primer but looks like a white lotion, the OC8 is meant to be worn directly on the skin over moisturizer or sunscreen.

    OC8’s 8-hour formula featuring ACRYSORB®, micro-particles trap facial oils to reduce shine and redness for up to eight hours.

    It works like a charm and you can win it here by leaving a comment about why you need to be ‘camera ready’ with this photo finish!

    New York Fashion Week @Mataano FW2013

    The beautiful and talented twins of Mataano put together a spectacular party and fashion show for everyone during Fashion Week.

    Because I have been changing the date and time on my phone for more lives on the Candy Crush game, I missed the runway portion.

    But luckily, it was all captured on Getty Images! So here they are:


    and I found some on Instagram too 🙂



    I met Zombie boy! OMG

    Here’s the beauty palette.

    Mataano is a women’s contemporary ready-to-wear line with pieces that redefine timeless elegance by infusing modern edge and global sensibility. The founders and creative minds behind the brand are twin sisters Ayaan and Idyl Mohallim. In 2008, The Mohallim sisters took a bold step together, launching their brand (“Mataano” translates as “twins” in Somali) and developing a platform from which to express their vision and creations to the marketplace.

    Mataano’s premier collection for Spring 2009, was launched in New York City and garnered notice throughout the industry. Since then, Mataano has showcased six collections during New York Fashion Week.
    The Mohallim sisters live in Brooklyn and the entire Mataano line is proudly designed and manufactured in New York City.

    The Pengallan Slim-Fit Boxer is elegantly cut to provide unparalleled comfort and range of motion with a slim & flattering silhouette.  The flat-front waistband reduces excess fabric for a slimming look and comfortable fit under all pants. The contoured seat eliminates the “riding-up” effect typical of most boxer shorts, and the generous side vents allow for greater ease of movement.  The Pengallan Slim-Fit Boxer – as close as you can get to a bespoke boxer without a tailor

    Event Recap @_IFB Conference 2013

    After attending IFB only on via online stream before – this was my very first IFB conference!

    It was packed with over 400 fashion bloggers from every state, Canada and even Puerto Rico. All of these bloggers came with the same thing on mind – How to network and make a living being a full time blogger.

    The IFB put together a slew of star studded blogger panel with lots of info to take home with you.

    The sponsors kicked butt and MailChimp had a pop up DIY so we had fun with the monkey.

    Bare Minerals gave bloggers make under and make overs!

    Now for the beautiful bloggers!
