I did a bit of personal shopping for a friend this week, and though it wasn't the winner, this Marchesa Notte brings the drama with long sleeves and a sheer floral design. The solid black ball skirt is removable!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Spring Showers: Kate Spade's Floral Embellished rain coat is simply the cutest!

Every year I look forward to at least one new pair of my Toms comfy spring and summer shoes. This year, it just might be the Sun Daisies pattern in black & white.

{ Via: Vogue }

So is your dance card full yet with Holiday invites? I have five ahead this month. The people that you will mix and mingle with, are often those that you haven't seen in a long time. I like to look my best, don't you? During this busy season, sometimes our "sparkling personalities" just are not enough. This edit features products that offer a gorgeous glow or a subtle shimmer. The choice is yours.

HERE: 12 Gorgeous Ways To Glow

Bobbi Brown Festive Glow

I have long looked to Bobbi Brown as one of the beauty greats.  She keeps her makeup process simple. This stunning look features subtle shimmer, with a stronger lip. Very effective. Shop the entire look on one page at

Bobbi Brown

Laura Mercier Lip Glacé 

Laura Mercier Lip Glacé is a high-shine, perfectly pigmented lip gloss that makes lips appear fuller, virtually enhancing any skin tone. This color is gorgeous, but there is also 20 other shades. And they are all 15% off now at

Nordstrom

Illuminating Body Mist

For holiday parties we may just show a little more skin than a normal winter night. Even if it is just your shoulders, in a cold shoulder top, don't ignore them. This mist is said to be beautiful and it is on sale now. I'm giving it a try.

Laura Geller

Fresh Vitamin G Glow Face Mask
One of my favorite things to do before a party is to make time for a face mask, a bubble bath and a glass of bubbly. I had a sample recently of this mask. It was fab. Loved the process, the scent, and I did feel liked I glowed after the first use.
Sephora

Exagger-Eyes

Charlotte Tilbury is one of my very favorite makeup brands. And this palette is everything I would ever need. It features warm reddy-browny-metallic tones that morph the eyes, by creating an illusion of wider and brighter looking eyes. Now who doesn't want that? Find it at 
Charlotte Tilbury It's sold out almost every where else!

If you want some serious glow, this highlighter is gorgeous. Available in three shades, it is infused with real crushed diamond powder. I just love the radiance it will provide to our face. Click below to also watch a video on how to use this pretty product.

Too Faced Cosmetics

Precision Brows

Brows may be one of the most important parts of your face. Without them, one looks a bit washed out. Frame your face with Kevyn's Precision Brow Pencil

Kevyn Aucoin

Smith & Cult
Talk about a merry mani! What a stunning shade the "Message" is. Even better than the color is the fact that their polish is 8 Free, meaning it doesn't include the harmful chemicals, that others do. Find it in a single bottle at Blue Mercury and in a terrific trio box of three party ready shades at HSN

Nars Ignited Eyeshadow Palette

Let sparks fly! A Limited Edition palette featuring 12 multi-dimentional shades in matte, shimmer, and glitter. And if you have yet to try Nars shadows, the color payoff is big, meaning you have to use just a little amount to 
make an impact.

Nars

YSL Touche Éclat Lumiere Divine Highlighting Finishing Powder 

"This lightweight finishing powder is infused with light-reflecting gold shimmer to give skin a luminous glow. The smooth and silky powder should be applied lightly above the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, under the eyebrows, and on the cupids bow to enhance skin's natural

radiance." Lovely!

Like a teenager, I love the chance for an extra hour of sleep when I can get it.  Before you have to get up and get going, here are some beautiful links that will have you resting easy this weekend.

One key to a good night's sleep is good bedding basics including a featherbed. If you haven't tried a featherbed yet, you don't know what you are missing.

The title of this product made me smile: Whipped Pistachio Body Butter – a.k.a The Boyfriend Body Butter. What to do with it? After showering or bathing, massage all over body, concentrating on elbows, knees and heels. Apply liberally to feet and sleep in socks for a healing night treatment. Apparently, "Pistachio Oil is rich in vitamins and minerals.   I think that our "boyfriends" will pop for the $28. Learn more at
