Daily Beauty: Elizabeth Arden Rose Aurora Collection

How pretty is Elizabeth Arden's new collection?

And I'm a sucker for throwbacks, so I love that the color palette is a twist on the original 1950s collection designed by Elizabeth Arden herself (the rose-gold, rose-stamped packaging is another retro nod).

Favorite picks: the Pure Finish Bronze Powder, which comes in three shades and is packaged in the most gorgeous compact (that one on the far left, above), and the Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Rose Aurora (far right), a slightly shimmery, pinky-brown neutral that works on any skin tone, but that I imagine would look particularly lovely paired with your first (faux) summer tan.

Twists & Twine & Tippy Boats

Yesterday started with some serious hair. I paid very, very close attention to how this incredible thing (courtesy of Ansley Meredith and based on Nicole Richie's 'do the other night) came into the world, so we've got a tutorial coming up for you ASAP!

Before heading out to shoot for the day, I munched on some twine. Wore leopard-print cardigans with floral dresses. And made birch bark candles. (It's easy. You'll see.)

Marchez Vous Giveaway

Do you know Yeardley Smith? She's the voice of Lisa in The Simpsons, so you may not know what she looks like, but you've certainly heard her. Anyway, she's also quite the cool lady: she basically decided hey, I've had an incredibly successful career as an actress...why not try other fun things?

Like shoe design!

And so she started Marchez Vous, a line of whimsical shoes with equally whimsical stories that she creates for each one (I'm wearing the Pierette in this post).
