Lets "Makeup" with some Bling!


 Lola and I decided it would be a good time to update our makeup for the upcoming fall trends, (Lola was beginning to look a little pasty) So a few weeks ago we RSVP for the Trish McEvoy Skype event! But before Lola and I could make our big appearance in front of one of the best in the makeup industry, we had to head into Leigh’s to pick out an outfit for the event. I went for this amazing black jacket from Diane von Furstenberg, pairing it with these new black scuba 5 pocket pants from J Brand. Adding in a little color with a fun leopard print shoe from Sam Edelman and a statement gold necklace from R J Graziano. Lola went for bold print dress from Clover Canyon, which Leigh’s had just got in that day! Wrapping a thin black leather belt around it from B-Low the Belt to show off her curves was just what she needed! She slipped on a pair of hip black booties with studs from Aquatalia, giving her that cool, yet chic look, and to finish off the outfit she wore a silver bracelet from Escape from Paris. 


                                                                        How amazing is this jacket and dress!



After Lola and I were looking fabulous we walked out onto the sitting area in Leigh’s that had been transformed into a makeup studio! Before the event we were able to meet some of the amazing Trish McEvoy team that would be doing everyones makeup after the live Skype chat with Trish! 




                                     Look at those girls trying to out pose us! They do look fabulous standing next to us tho! 



During the Skype call Trish pointed out Lola and I commenting on our luminescent skin, calling us right to the front so she could take a closer look at how beautiful we are! After the three of us had a little moment of sharing our tips and tricks of makeup, Lola and I thought we’d walk around the store for a little bit to check out all the new merchandise that had come in. But like always, only after about a second or two of walking around Lola spotted a tall, dark and handsome man, which she of course, just had to meet. After chatting for a bit, we became good friends with Gavin, who was selling absolutely gorgeous Matthew Campbell Laurenza jewelry right behind the Trish McEvoy event. I mean it doesn't get much better than this, having someone else do your makeup and shopping for new bling! 


                                                                            Looks like Lola found a new man! 


I found a beautiful sapphire brooch that looks just like a flower! I’ll just have my husband come down and pick this up for me! Lola found an amazing gold pendant, oh and Gavin’s number! 



                                                           Isn't Lola's pendant amazing?!? 


Thank you so much to all you wonderful ladies that came by for the special Trish McEvoy Skype event! And a special thanks to the extremely talented Trish McEvoy and her team of beautiful makeup artists. As well as to Lola’s new man Gavin from MCL, everything was so gorgeous, my husband is going to have just a hard time just picking out one, or two, or three things for me! Thanks again to everyone who made yesterday such a fun time!

Viva Italia!

Ciao Grand Rapids! Sorry it's been awhile since my girl Eloise and I have made an appearance. We were just spending our summer in the French Alps, site seeing, eating delicious food, I was chasing after hot European men, Oh and of course wine tasting! Wait did I mention hot European men? Well any way we thought it would be a great time to come back, because it's obviously one of the best nights of the year, Grand Rapids Fashion Night out! We made our way over to Leigh’s to help set up before the big party. 



Why of course, I'd love some Prosecco!

Because its been so hot lately Eloise and I decided to just stick to the basics of fashion while we helped Jacob the new intern and the rest of the Leigh’s team set up! A simple top by Michael Stars matched with a pair of Leigh’s new denim that just came in by J BRAND Oh! and I almost forgot about my amazing scarf by Italian designer Etro and our adorable shoes by Tory Burch.  




Doesn’t this food catered by Saburba look delicious?  

Ok, enough of this heavy lifting, a girl can’t be all sweaty before a huge party like this, we need to look fabulous



Don’t we look favoloso!



Because the theme tonight is Italian fashion, Eloise and I decided to both  wear one of our favorite Italian designers. Leigh’s just received this amazing shipment of Armani that we just had to try on. I of course picked out this gorgeous sequence jacket, matched with a pair of skinny coated denim by Rich and Skinny (Don't they look just like leather??) and these sexy black heels by my favorite shoe man Stuart Weitzman. Eloise went for this extremely elegant navy dress, also by Armani and these adorable gray heels by Cole Haan, adding a chunky gold bracelet by Karine Sultan only completed her look even more! We were the best dressed girls there (If we do say so ourselves!)! 



Where are all the Italian men?


The night was filled with amazing music, food, friends and of course fashions. So many great people stopped by, who would have thought that Brangelina would fly in from LA for Grand Rapids Fashion Night out! And we can't forget about Lady Gaga who, took time off from her world tour to try on some our new Valentino Red we just received earlier this fall!



Watch out Grand Rapids here we come!


Thank you so much to everyone who came out last and made it that much more fabulous. Oh, and a special thanks to Harold Zeigler who brought over the adorable Fiats, the amazing Elieen DeVries for driving over that gorgeous Ferrari and to our amazing DJ Adrian Butler for making us all bust a move!
