My upcoming Review of Bobbi Brown's 'Buffing Grains For Face'

I love a great exfoliator! I feel so much cleaner and my skin feels and look rejuvenated!

I have come across alot of different exfoliators I have liked for my body but not many for my face.
For my body I prefer a blend of coconut butter and exfoliator beads, but one of my favorites has been the sea salt from The Sanctuary.

I have heard so many great things about The Buffing Grains from Bobbi Brown. Its designed for your face, and you can either mix it with water or favorite Bobbi Brown cleanser and get a 2-in-1 face wash.. What a BEAUTY BONUS (as they call it on the website).

If you have tried this exfoliator or have one of your own that you love and swear by.. Let me know!

Stay tuned for my upcoming review of The Buffing Grains!

A Touch of Color for Summer

Hey Dolls!

So even though its June gloom right now the sunshine will be here before we know it, and keeping up with our Mani-Pedi's this season is crucial! Our hands and feet are on display more than any other time of the year.

So if you are like me and try and consider every one of the hundred colors on the wall when your asked to "pick a color", and then in no time they are ready and you just grab one of the colors you typically go for (for me it's always a dark color, like a deep Purple or rich Brown). Now we are going to get more chances to try out different colors, for me it's all about pastels and brights!

I love pastel color nails with a white outfit!
Adding some bright and neon colors to your nails is great way brighten up any outfit.
Caviar nails are another popular trend this year. I like this look for a night on the town or an event!

Check out some of my favorite nail colors and trends for this season!

My Nicholas Kirkwood Obsession

Typically London-based, before he crossed the 'pond' to open a store in New York City, shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood knows just how to add a bit of sexy glam to women's feet, but ladies don't expect to be comfortable in these heels, comfort was not a topic of concern when designing these pieces of art!

His shoes are typically expensive, but every girl can dream and hey that's what a savings account is for, right!

Kirkwood really shows his creative side in his shoes. By using various colors, fabrics and materials in his designs, he is able to create a real masterpiece, and drawn attention to a woman's feet!

The new store in New York is all white with each pair of shoes on display, almost making you afraid to even touch them! The first US store in New York opened earlier this year.

My BEST DRESSED Picks from MTV Movie Awards!

Last night hosted the MTV Movie Awards for 2012. Some of my favorite fashions from this season made it on this Red Carpet Event!!

The MTV Movie Awards is one of the few red carpet events of the season that is not a 'black tie' event. So men can come slightly more casual, and women can raise their hemlines.

Here are some of my FAVORITES from the award show:

MILA KUNIS- ''Legs, Legs, Legs!'' Mila looks stunning in this Fendi mini dress matched with Jimmy Choo peep-toe heels that just show off her amazing pins!

KRISTEN STEWART- I love this Guishem dress for Kristen. The crazy print with her hair scrunched and put to the side is a perfect match for her personality!

LEIGHTON MEESTER- Dressed in Christian Cota, the combination of her neutral outfit and make-up and simple hair-do looks just beautiful on her.

EMMA STONE- Flawless in Martin Grant ivory bubble skirt and peplum black top with some always gorgeous Brian Atwood heels.

JENNA DEWAN- This sexy Lublu cocktail dress is something I would expect at this event, I love everything about this dress, and Jenna looks stunning in it!

ELIZABETH BANKS- This sexy cutout jumpsuit by Ellie Saab looks fantastic on Elizabeth! I love that she kept it simple with black heels and clutch!

KATE BECKINSALE- Kate is one of my all-time favorite fashion icons! This Brit looks fabulous in a nude Christian Dior dress matched with purple Salvatore Ferragamo pumps.

JANELLE MONAE- The masculine Chanel tuxedo combined with the feminine splash of pink lips and simple jewelry creates the perfect look for Janelle!

EMMA WATSON- Another Brit does me proud! Emma looks like a piece of art in this major Brood print dress and Tabitha Simmons gothic sandals. The use of black throughout her outfit was a great choice and didn't 'over-do' her look. Keeping her hair simple with loose waves and slightly pinned back keeps the focus on the dress.. Great choice for this fashion 'it girl'!

JESSICA BIEL- I almost chose Jessica to be my Best Dressed pick because this is definitely one of my favorite looks I've seen her in, in a while! She looks oh-so chic in this white Chanel dress paired with the white and green Barbara Bui biker ankle strap heels! The sleek straight hair and solid fringe (bangs) is a great look on Jessica!

CHARLIZE THERON- Charlize looks like a Classic Beauty in this beautiful red Lanvin dress with a dash of metallic in her Jimmy Choo strappy heels, just brings the outfit together so well!

MY BEST DRESSED CHOICE:
SHAILENE WOODLEY (in head-to-toe Stella McCartney)
I love an all black moment on the Red Carpet, and Shailene looks sexy and chic in this stunning Stella McCartney 2-piece! There is sexy and conservative in this outfit, and in my opinion, it's just perfect for the 'breakthrough performance' winner! The low back in the vest shows her gorgeous fish-tail braid that completes this stunning look!

What were your favorite outfits from last night??
