Ricci Ricci was released last fall by Nina Ricci, and we’re still swooning over the ads for the fab floral fragrance. Jessica Stam is one of our favorite models, so we love her playful pussycat image in these ads; the dress is also super gorgeous and the ribbon motif is very chic. We smell a potential Halloween costume!

Sarah Jessica Parker looked quirky and fashionable (oh so Carrie!) at the UK premiere of “Sex and the City 2.” Her make-up was also interesting; she wore dove-gray eyeshadow that gave her blue eyes an icy look. This look is quite easy, especially with the help of a pre-made palette with the right shades.

This NYX gray palette is a great tool to recreate this look. Sweep the lightest shade on the brow bone, the middle shade on the lid, and the darkest shade in the crease and blend together. Add a touch of eyeliner, black mascara, and glossy pink lips and you’ll be red-carpet ready like Carrie (or SJP) in no time!

One of our favorite nail polish brands, Essie, makes irresistibly pretty shades that have some serious lasting power. So we were thrilled when we found their “prom-tastic” shades , which are great for a night out, whether clubbing or heading to senior prom.

These polishes are great compliments to cocktail dresses and gowns, feminine and gorgeous without being overpowering. The variety of shades means there’s something for every type of girl, whether an edgy fashionista (“Damsel in a Dress” is your best bet), or a girlie-girl (“Adore-A-Ball” is just your style). Plus, not having to worry about chipping is a big plus on big nights out. They are $8, so these durable polishes are a good deal; the biggest problem will be choosing which one to wear!  This Haute PR Beauty Babe loves “Tomboy No More” and “Spaghetti Strap” especially. Which do you love?

Summer-loving beach-babes, rejoice! MAC’s “To the Beach” collection comes out May 27, and we are very excited about rocking beach-ready looks (even if we are walking on hot pavement instead of hot sand). We’re definitely most excited about the gorgeous Marine Life highlighting powder and sassy Sweet & Punchy eye-shadow.

Reports are that Marine Life is selling out already, so you should snatch it up as soon as you can! It has a delicious design featuring a seahorse, making it not only pretty to use but pretty to look at (and we definitely love pretty things). It’s top half is a glowing coral-orange while the bottom half is a perky pink, and together they create a beautiful unique shade that is radiant with a slight hint of shimmer to give you that covetable summer glow, a must-have look for this summer!

Sweet and Punchy is that perfect bitter-apple green that will make your lids pop this summer and has that beautiful, rich MAC texture and color payoff we all love; definitely don’t be afraid of brushing on bolds to your lids this summer, especially when paired with the latest fashion trend – a neutral outfit.

I know that long hair is sexy and timeless, but exude confidence with a short, trendy do!  As a hair stylist and a risk-taking trend-setter, I strongly suggest trying something new to stand out- and I do NOT mean getting the inverted bob, which were hot about five years ago. Try a long bob that is super blunt, right below your shoulders, with a slight diagonal line for a longer effect around the face. Or dare to go shorter? Get a chin-length cut with straight lines and some texturizing to hold a style. Throw in some bangs to make this look super-chic! But remember, no stacking layers in the back! Your hair stylist will be excited to create this fashion-forward look for you.
