NYFW Beauty Essentials

NYFW.  A girl can only dream...the lights, the shoes, the sparkle.  Fashion Week is everything!  If I were walking the streets of New York, wearing head-to-toe Valentino, I would want my makeup to be simple and elegant.  Does this outfit need a red lip?  Who is she wearing?  Are we going to the after party?  Does this photo look better in Valencia or Amaro?  I hope this outfit gets me on a street style blog!  So Maj!

These products are perfect for a fresh and natural catwalk-worthy look!  I had to include my Clarins Beauty Flash Balm.  It's a little touch of moisture that makes my skin look bright and radiant.  I refuse to leave the house without it as it has become so routine.  Layering blushes is my new obsession.  Benefit's Fine One One and Nars Orgasm Illuminator, stippled onto my cheeks, has become my favorite blush.  Fashion never sleeps which means that my undereye bags love concealer. A little goes a long way with Nars Radiant Concealer.  The easy "lipgloss" application leaves you with extra time to rethink your outfit and maybe even try a new hairstyle.  Oh, and of course, a nude nail is a fashion week basic because no matter what's said to be IN or OUT, Essie's Chinchilly is timeless.

My Little Paris

An absolute lightblub moment...If anyone knows the city of lights, shopping, macarons and cute boys... it's moi.  Earlier today,  I was typing an elaborate email to my BFF in London about my newest finds in my endless search for the best gluten-free patisseries, when I realized that I could write an entire book about all the très chic things around me.  But then, duh!  I remembered that I have a very real blog waiting for updates.  So, désormais, (from now on),  I will be posting weekly updates from my favorite spots.  Welcome to My Little Paris!

Something About September...

So, I’m sitting here right now, looking out my window at all these beautiful cotton candy colored clouds wondering why this month has been so special for me.  I know that the excitement of fall color schemes and the new school year can't be the only things making me love September à ce moment.  It seems that this month has been just the revival and fresh outlook I needed, but, I still can't seem to think why I feel so diamond encrusted.  I wake up every morning snuggled in my white and pink fluffy blanket totally ready and excited for whatever the day holds.  With my weekdays full of school work and chatter in the school cafeteria (oh so glamorous), my weekends anxiously await relaxing mornings, daydreamy dinners and fabulous nights.  So basically thanks September, for making me sparkle again. 

Daily Obsession: The Chic Student

Blush rose sweater, crisp white shorts, nude ballets and black accessories chosen and arranged neatly in my closet.  My favorite makeup products and brushes can now be found in one drawer for a simple and quick 5 minute routine.  My Zadig & Voltaire school bag is sitting by the front door ready to go.  Now, it's time to paint my nails with Essie's ballet slipper and watch a few episodes of The City  (my new fashion obsession) before bed.  I wish my best friend was sleeping over for the perfect dose of gossip, face masks and to make sure I don't commit fashion suicide with tomorrow's outfit. Oh well... time for my beauty rest! XOXO

P.S. Even though I'm organized, I still get nervous for the first day of school. So, don't worry because you're not alone.
