Confession: even though 99% of my wardrobe is black (or navy or gray!), I LOVE pink. I’m secretly a girly girl! And I’m totally feeling this new shade from KO polish. It’s sweet but a little subversive too, thanks to the matte finish. I’m going to test it out tomorrow! Visit koknockout.com/ to learn more.

Day
four of my Fashion Week duties started out with a bit of a downer; I
found the first model for the fitting in tears because she had just
heard the news about the very sudden death of Alexander McQueen. McQueen was an inspiration to
the global fashion industry and the news about his suicide is very sad and what everyone’s been talking about all morning.

Though there were very few dry eyes we  continued on
with fittings, pinning composite cards to the board and taking digital photos.
Run of show is almost finished! I can’t wait to see the finished product! More to
come, stay tuned and fabulous!

MAC cosmetics is kicking off their new “From Our Lips” campaign by introducing Viva
Glam spokeswomen Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper! The hot new Viva Glam Gaga
and Viva Glam Cyndi lipsticks are part of the MAC AIDS Fund, which
means that the $14 from each purchase goes directly to helping people
around the world who are suffering from HIV/AIDS.

In the 16 years since the MAC AIDS Fund started, the sales of Viva
Glam Lipstick and Lipglass have produced over $150 million to promote
awareness and provide care for people with HIV/AIDS. And the fact that
you can get a rock star look like Lady Gaga’s while giving to a good
cause, well what’s not not to love?

Check out the Viva Glam products and learn more about the cause with MAC.

What’s your favorite way to help others?

Well, NYC got hit with a huge
snowstorm yesterday (see the New York Public Library, just steps away from the
tents covered in snow). That means I have an un-cute outfit on (rain boots and a
down jacket). Its not even worth posting for you guys… I promise to give you
outfit updates later in the week.

Still trying to drop hints about the perfect Valentine’s present? Why not just ask for a kiss?

This Hershey’s Kiss jewelry is a super cute way to wear your affection all year, whether it’s from that special someone or just a little love from you to yourself. Plus, how adorable would these Hershey’s Kiss earrings be to show your gal pals how much they mean to you on V-Day?

There’s a whole collection of sterling silver bracelets, necklaces and earrings so you can celebrate your fave sweets in style - there’s even a special necklace for breast cancer awareness so you can show your support. You can buy online or find them at special locations like Zales this holiday!

What’s the best Valentine’s Day gift you ever received? Was it the gift or the person giving it that made it special?

My first show this morning was BCBG, which I got to go to with the adorable Keke Palmer! Since Keke is Seventeen’s
guest fashion week blogger, she will be sharing her thoughts on the
show a little later on, but for now I wanted to show you guys something
that’s always seen backstage in hair and makeup — the face chart. This
is what the makeup artist draws the look for the show on to give out to
press. It’s always cool to see what the difference is when it’s on
paper and then later, when the makeup is applied on an actual model.

Sarah Lucero, Stila’s
lead makeup artist, created a very fresh-faced, nude look for BCBG’s
show — brown mascara, cream eye shadow and nude lipstick were the
colors used. Sounds easy enough right?

Will you rock the all nude trend for fall? Tell me below!

Remember a few weeks ago when I blogged about wanting to go mega-blonde but
being thwarted by my crazy damaged hair? Well, thanks to L’Oreal Professionnel Inoa, I’m
living the dream!! I am super, ultra, crazy blonde and THRILLED! The new
color system is offered at Ted Gibson NYC as well as a handful of other NY
salons. The new color system is UNREAL! Inoa (which stands for Innovation No
Ammonia) contains no ammonia (obviously), so it doesn’t smell, doesn’t burn
your scalp, and doesn’t wreck your hair’s cuticle. In fact, L’Oreal Professionnel claims
that after nine treatments with this wonder your hair will feel like it’s never
been colored before. Even better? Its oil-based color delivery system forces
more color into the hair shaft than traditional color, meaning brighter
color that fades less than traditional means. Can you tell that I’m
obsessed? I sat down in Jason Backe’s chair at Ted Gibson last night with my
heart pounding in excitement. Jason was just as revved as I was and we had a
blast as he did a single process to lighten all my hair with Inoa and then
went back in for a full head of highlights. The result? Exactly the Narnia
White-Witch with crazy dark brows look I always wanted. Oh! Also, while I
was being rinsed and deep conditioned, Ted Gibson himself arrived in the
salon and coolly, casually divulged that he had just been hanging out with
Cameron Diaz. Jason and Ted, I love you guys.
