Laura Mercier Event

I don't know about you, but this cold weather is not my skin's best friend. The cold, dry air and the strong wind do not do much good for my sensitive skin and I know Lola is does not appreciate the snow and cold either. It was pretty cold outside so I wore my favorite sweater dress by Diane von Furstenberg which is a perfect color to brighten up winter, some comfy leggings by Helios & Luna, clinched the waist of my sweater with a black Ralph Lauren belt, added a little touch with a fab What's-in-Store collar necklace, and stayed warm in my Tracy Reese black and white coat!

 Lola and I were super excited for the Laura Mercier event at Leigh's on Friday, so excited that I took a spill down the stairs on my way out of the house and hit my head!



Just a little bonk to the head, nothing some makeup can't fix!

After I got myself together, Lola and I headed over to Leigh's. When we first walked in I got a little distracted by all of the sale items out so I did some browsing while Lola headed over for her hand dip. When I walked over to get my make-up done by the lovely Leigh's make-up, Lola looked like she was going to fall asleep from how relaxing the parrafin hand dip was!

Later we got our makeup done by the amazing ladies at Leigh's and got some new products to help us have flawless skin these next few months. Laura Mercier has some amazing products that transforms skin to be healthy, glowing, and flawless.

 

 

Carol even was able to do some work out my head wound, guess I won't have to hide myself until it heals! The make-up artists were busy treating ladies to the Laura Mercier products all afternoon and there were some fabulous, flawless faces all throughout the store. 

 

Lola was wearing some bold Elie Tahari pink skinny jeans, a creative Clover Canyon designed shirt, with a leather vest from My Tribe for a little bit of warmth because she left her coat at home, and she was wearing a super cute Fabiana Filippi statement necklace to add a little bit of Lola flair per usual.

 

While relaxing a little bit before we got back to shopping around Leigh's, we ran into some of our friends. Fortunately this time I didn't literally run into anything. Our favorite, Rebecca, was out of town picking out some new goodies for the store we didn't get to see her, but we did find Lesley and the new intern Abi!

Lesley gossiping with us, always lots of laughs with her.



New girl, Abi!

While we were gossiping at the store we found out about a few events going on in the area for the next few weeks, sounds like we are going to be busy with our new friends Kelly and Abi! Keep your eye open for where we'll be next.



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! 

Friday Night at GRAM

Taking in our first look inside the GRAM!

Lola and I decided we would love to do a girls night out! Friday Night at GRAM (Grand Rapids Art Museum), which was featuring the new Rauschenberg exhibit and the film Black Mountain College was top of our list. We were really excited because what is better than wine and great art with a beautiful setting?! My outfit was an easy pick with a colorful Muse dress and Cole Haan heels. But, of course I wasn't complete without a fabulous accessory....thank you Kenneth Jay Lane for designing the perfect necklace! Surprise, surprise....Lola had a hard time deciding  what to wear!  A Leigh's  run was needed so she could pick an outfit as awesome as mine! She was super excited for the new spring collection and opted for a Diane von Furstenberg tunic with Vince black leggings. Her Sam Edelman heels were the biggest hit at the GRAM--everyone was jealous of those awesome heels....they were their own work of art!

Awesome piano player!

Posing with the piano player! Love it!

When we first arrived, we were greeted by great music and found a man playing the piano. He was doing an awesome job and was really setting the mood for the art. I sparked a great conversation with him about fashion (who knew men could know so much?!) and turned around to find Eloise missing! Of course I wasn't panicked for long because then I spotted her by the bar drinking some wine! I joined her for a glass and talked to the sweetest employee of the GRAM about Leigh's! Turns out, she has been a few times and loved it! Who wouldn't?!

Me joining her!

Once we had a few glasses of wine to get our creative minds flowing, we decided to take a walk around the Rauschenberg exhibit. We were truly inspired and had a warm fuzzy feeling after walking through the whole exhibit (or was that the wine?!)

About to walk through the gallery!

A little background info on Rauschenberg! What an amazing exhibit!



Upstairs at the GRAM!

By the time we were done walking through the exhibit, our feet hurt from our awesome heels (yes, sometimes fashion hurts) and it was time for the movie. We were super excited because we had heard great things about it! Of course, we loved every second of it! We also needed to get our picture in front of the film to prove we were there...or for attention. We love attention.

Movie room! Love the stars on the ceiling!

Us in front of the movie! Sorry everyone!

We were exhausted at the end of the night! Who would have thought girls night could take such a toll?! We were so glad we could visit the GRAM and talk fashion with everyone around! Our next adventure is a Pre-Kentucky-Derby Brunch! Stay tuned to hear more!
