Hay black collection

ANNE BLACK.
A modern and playful line from Copenhagen is now avail here! I am so nuts about this designer, I can't decide what part of her line I like the best. The bud vases – adorable. 
Fun, stylish and whimsical, it’s Scandinavian design at its best.  Described by some as “a Danish Jonathan Adler,” Anne Black's pieces are hand-made from the highest quality porcelain.  
Collection highlights include:

Hay Black Geometric and clean, these unique vases come in four sizes and are as stunning as display pieces as they are with a simple flower arrangement.

Seam Inspired by the stitches of a sowing machine, Seam pieces include flower pots, vases and the prettiest votives with delicate hand perforations.

Flower A collection of jewelry and bud vases in six different shapes, six different designs and ten colors, these pieces group beautifully or make the perfect gift.

Ruth M Whimsical and humerous, Ruth M offers a modern and fresh interpretation of classic porcelain designs.  The bird platter, tile plates, cups, sugar bowl and porcelain spoons are instant Anne Black classics.

Black is Blue The tall pitchers, bowls and platters, all hand-painted with delicate blue designs on the inside, were created to convey that beauty comes from within.

In addition, Anne Black designs include Elements porcelain jewelry, knobs/handles and holiday decor.

Founded in 2003, Anne Black now boasts more than 200 retailers in twelve countries across Scandinavia, Europe, Australia and Asia.  Collections are designed in Copenhagen and produced by hand in a fair trade facility outside Hanoi, Vietnam.

Enter La LOOP to solve all your glasses problems – and keep you looking tres chic while you're at it.

La LOOP was created 12 years ago by Elizabeth Faraut.  She was fed up with the granny strands that were out there and  wanted something functional, stylish and well-crafted t hang her specs when she needed a break. And it's more than just a cool necklace with a loop.  It sports patented hinges on either side of the loop, so your glasses brilliantly stay in place at all times.

Moreover, Elizabeth has created styles for everyone, every budget, every personality, for men and women La LOOP, her first collection is the jewelry collection, for the big occasions.

Yes! I’ve discovered another triple-hitter that delivers. MIRACLE SKIN TRANSFORMER 20. HYDRATE, ENHANCE, PROTECT.

check it out here at www.miracleskintransformer.com

I've always been weary of any product that has the word "miracle" in it.

But when I read just how savvy this brand is, how it was created, and by whom (long-time behind the scenes big beauty vet Sarah McNamara) I was more than intrigued..  There's a reason Miracle Skin Transformer is getting major play in all the hottest publications.

So, after sampling this product from the line – I am sold.  It's a power hitter. 

The Miracle Skin Transformer 20 is fantastic. SO light, you hardly feel like you're wearing anything at all. Light SPF coverage glides on like butter as your skin transforms and gets super hydrated. I like mixing the the medium and tan together for a perfect flawless look.

I did not go ga-ga over the concealer as I found it too thick for my under eyes. 

But this product is a winner.

Productimage

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20’s first-ever naturally derived silicone formulation is designed to improve skin texture, minimize fine lines and pores and reduce pigmentation spots over time.

Miracle Skin Transformer hydrates, enhances and protects your skin with our M3 Complex, a unique combination of natural active antioxidants and vitamins designed to:

GROOMED L.A. GIVE-AWAY! A KID’S HAIRCUT AT TIPPERARY KIDS IN BEV HILLS

July 1, 2011

TIPPERARY KIDS has been cutting hair for tots for over 40 years. Known for precision cuts and dedicated to turning, a sometimes terrifying and often mundane experience, into one that kids can't wait for.

Located in Beverly Hills, the salon has converted celeb tots of Heidi Klum, Mark Wahlberg, and Jodie Foster in to dedicated customers that can't wait for their next hair cut!   

My daughter, Aria, got an adorable cut there – sleek bangs and a seriously adorable (and chic!!??)  LuLu bob.  Her mop head know infested hair was taken very seriously.  It was cut and styled beautifully.  She did NOT come out of there looking like a pageant kid, covered in sparkles and curls but rather appropriately modest and cool.  

They also have a L I C E  section upstairs for the whole family! (secluded, I might add)

And yay, now your kid can get a FREE CUT!!

The outside of the insert is sleek with two additional pockets for the woman that carries it all.
