The Beauty Geeks finally shed a little light on YSL’s Touche Eclat – the much coveted and hyped highlighting pen. I’ve always wondered about it and even went to a counter to inquire, only to be shooed away – my circles were far too dark (waaaaaaah). The Geeks explain the who, what, where and why, making me feel much more confident about my under eyes…
Coco + Kelley gave the deets on some super fab wrapping paper made by Cynthia Rowley, inspired by her runway patterns. Gorgeous!
Gifted has a ton of amazing Christmas pressie ideas! I’m especially in love with the bracelet from Biko.

You can tell spring is almost here (despite the snow and dark days). Makeup changes, pleated skirts and flower arrangements are in our near future!
Ballet pleated skirts have made a comeback and can be incorporated into numerous styled outfits which you can see on The Style House’s ‘One Item, Three Ways’ . I loved Coco’s Club Monaco skirt she wore to the LineKnitwear fashion show.
To compliment this item, get some great finds at Rita Tesolin’s trunk show that’s coming up. You may remember some of the jewelry from my Franke post.
Other style inspiration comes from ImTheItGirl‘s Gossip Girl fashion round up. Chuck Bass is so hot and did you know he’s actually English? He masks his accent well in GG!
Beautygeeks posted this hilarious sketch comedy video. You thought ‘jeggings’ were bad. Wait til you see what other trend items this comedy group comes up with! LOL
Brushes! I’m always confused about what to use where and get overwhelmed with the amount of brushes on the market. BeautyEditor breaks it down for us with 4 essentials.
Hitting up any house parties in the near future? These monogrammed cocktail napkins on Gifted would be a great hostess gift if you had time to plan ahead.
Buying flowers is fun until you get home and don’t have the right vase. This Kontur Vase is amazing and can accommodate all kinds of flowers and can even be used for other functions as well.
Gwyneth Paltrow is all over the place! Singing, acting, writing, and cooking! Win a copy of Gwyneth’s new cookbook over at SweetPotatoChronicles.
Happy Hump Day!
