Mani of the Week: Dior Blue Denim with Essie Lapis of Luxury
I am in love with my manicure this week! I went to see the fabulous Erica Marton, the resident nail guru at Face Place (more on that fabulous spot in a later post!), and she made my nails look absolutely awesome.
I brought in my new bottle of Dior Blue Denim, which is part of the brand's new tuxedo-inspired Blue Tie collection for fall. (It hasn't launched yet, but hopefully will be soon!) Erica fell in love with the color (and I love it too), but we wanted to spice things up a bit. She suggested Essie Lapis of Luxury for my ring fingers, and I think the contrast of blue hues is just so super cool!
What's on your nails this week? Let me know in the comments!

Search and Rescue: Molton Brown Desert Bloom Intense Hand Rescue
I'm obsessed with hand cream. Really, I have bottles of it all over the place -- in my bathroom, on my nightstand, on my desk at work, rattling around in my purse. But as of late, I'm only using one -- Molton Brown Desert Bloom Intense Hand Rescue.
This rich, luxurious hand cream leaves skin so soft, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. That's thanks to ingredients like antioxidant-rich South African desert plant extract, Myrrh extract (which targets cuticles and nails), Candletree leaf extract (provides photo-aging protection and minimizes the signs of age spots), and both Moringa and shea butters (which moisturize and condition the skin). It also sinks into skin immediately upon contact, so there's no unsightly greasiness or residue to contend with.
And here's the best part: it smells fantastic. Light, fresh, feminine ... absolutely beautiful.
Molton Brown Desert Bloom Intense Hand Rescue retails for $30 at moltonbrown.com.
A Few of My Favorite Things: Tocca Cleopatra Eau de Parfum Rollerball
If anyone told me a couple months ago that all my favorite things would come together in one pretty little package, I wouldn't have believed it. But the Tocca Cleopatra Eau de Parfum Rollerball has managed to incorporate everything I love into one tiny delight.
For starters, Cleopatra is one of my all-time favorite scents. Perfume, laundry detergent, candles ... I have Cleopatra stationed in my apartment in all its forms! The blend of grapefruit, lush greens, white jasmine, tuberose, patchouli, golden amber and rich vanilla musk create a scent that's sensual, feminine and completely exotic.
And, in case you weren't aware, I have a long-standing love affair with the rollerball. I love that I can throw it in even the tiniest purse and touch up my fragrance throughout the day. This one, with its swirling golden flower design, is absolutely gorgeous.
The Tocca Cleopatra Eau de Parfum Rollerball retails for $20 at either tocca.com or sephora.com.

Salon and Spa Directory: Haven's Naturally You Naturally Radiant Facial
Last month, I was treated to an absolutely divine facial at one of my very favorite NYC spas, Haven. While I normally go there for mani-pedis, this time I experienced the Naturally Radiant Facial -- part of Haven's brand-new Naturally You line of treatments.
In Which I Get a Haircut and No Longer Hate My Hair
Back in March, I got a haircut. I thought I was going in just for a little trim and cleanup ... and came out with weird, uneven, super choppy layers. As if that weren't enough, it looked like I had a grown-out mullet on top of a longer cut. WHY WOULD A STYLIST DO THAT TO ME?
Needless to say, the past few months have been tedious. Growing out a bad haircut is never fun, and it just never makes me feel pretty. Luckily, the situation has started to be remedied, thanks to my gal J. She came over this weekend to save me from a summer of ponytails. After a little trimming of the ends and a little blending of the layers, my hair no longer looked awful and terrible!
I'm really pleased with the cut, and can't wait for the next couple months to zoom by so I can even it up even more. Yay for not hating my hair!
