While everyone else was dressed in laid back CA cool pieces, I was clearly gearing up for Halloween a little early… Having chose the line Kittin Hawk for the Fashion Groupie produced blogger shoot each of my three looks had a dark edge to them and I loved it!
I pulled two dresses and one cape-like top which I paired with a shiny gold H&M skirt. Both dresses didn’t exactly cover the ta-ta’s, so unless I wanted to flash the world, I had to organically incorporate some sleek coverage. I opted for a white bra to pair with the romantic sheer dress which was topped off with a feathered headpiece. For the more avant-garde look, the dress itself was a piece of art, therefore I opted for a simple black bandeau to do the trick. Kittin Hawk’s pieces are so unique…oh and all of the amazing accessories being worn are also from the label including the whimsical ivory headpiece.
Fore more on Kittin Hawk visit their tumblr…I’ll be bringing more looks from the other bloggers & the designers they worked with soon.
A huge thank you to the incredible team…

Posture isn’t the only thing that should be straight; hair occasionally needs a little help getting into place as well. I recently gave the new Infiniti Pro 1 inch Ceramic Flat Iron by Conair a test drive and was totally impressed with the results. Considering my mane for the most part is pretty straight, it’s always nice to have a little help on those days I don’t feel like washing my hair (which is often) or when I want to add a nice shine to my locks. I’m hair challenged- as in I’m terrible at doing hair- so straightening (and some curling) are always my go-to’s! Actually, straightening long hair makes your hair appear shinier and longer. That’s a win/win in my book.
The ceramic iron heats up quickly (15 seconds) and is gentle enough on my hair, but it also has the ability to get much hotter (there are 30 heat settings going up to 455F…yikes!) to tame truly unruly manes. What I really like about the product is that it comes with a little bottle of argan oil, which helps protect hair from all of the heat abuse I’m giving it.
Now for the fun part…

Known for their haute fashions and innovative creative director, Riccardo Tisci (who’s designing album art for Jay-Z & Kanye West’s collab album) Givenchy also makes my favorite eyeliner – Magic Khol. Now their latest beauty endeavor is “over the moon.” Literally… Introducing thew new Les Ombres des Lunes, a dark shadow coupled with an illuminating powder.
The shapes of the dramatic colors are meant to be moons against the sky. You can moon yourself (and others) in two shades, a black moon in creamy white and a night blue moon against a golden sky. Personally, I like to moon the world in blue during the day and black at night. Three different application tools (for us cosmetically impaired) are also provided in a handy slide out drawer – sweeeet!
The items are limited edition and will be released in August (available at Sephora).
