I’ve said before that I have a pretty cluttered beauty cabinet…and here’s the hard evidence.
That is a lot of products.
And the truth is that I’ve used most of them at least once – I write about beauty a lot on RG (and elsewhere), and really do try to take as many products as I possibly can for a spin so that I’m reasonably well-versed in what’s out there and reasonably capable of making decently informed comparisons between brands.
Favorite new rose-colored finds for spring (clockwise from top left):
Elizabeth Arden Gloss in Rose Creme (pretty and natural alone; sheer and glossy over lipstick); NARS shadow in Abyssinia (perfect pale shade for all over lids); Elizabeth Arden Lipstick in Pale Petal (very mod, great pinky-neutral for all skin tones); Essie Polish in Fun In The Gondola; NARS Matte Multiple in Anguilla (a matte shade for cheeks and lips).
{ Hatch Dress; Deux Lux Karma Clutch; Ann Taylor Coat }
This is the outfit I was wearing when I had my little mini-swoon on the way home from a shoot in the Village the other day. So that wasn't fun. But what was fun was that when I stopped into a store to rest for a moment, the store owner took one look at what I was wearing and did one of those dramatic snap-things and said, "Now that is how you do pregnancy clothing." Which was nice. Because I had been having a kind of terrible day, and to suddenly feel pretty and chic despite everything that was going on…it made me feel good. Better, at least.
And there's something great about the fact that a dress - just two pieces of fabric sewn together - can have the power to do that.
Very driving-a-convertible-through-the-Italian-countryside. Or laying-flat-on-your-back-with-a-rum-punch.
Whatever your vacation style, I think this works.

Kendrick is coming back from India today (oh, I didn't mention? He's been in INDIA) and I'm headed to the airport to pick him up. In celebration, I decided to dress like I did on our second date - the one where he thought I looked like a crazy Olsen twin in mid-winter Russia. Because sure.
