Stephanie Johnson Cosmetic Cases!

Throughout this Summer, I can not begin to tell you how many girls would stop me and ask where I get my cosmetics bags. I would pull one of out my day bag at lunch or have my larger one at the sink at a house and the girls would FLOCK...and I mean FLOCK to them! It became such a constant question that I decided to share the designer with you so that you can start collecting and using your own! Stephanie Johnson is the mastermind behind these adorable carry-alls and just when you think she couldn't make it any easier for all of us to store our things, Stephanie has an easy to navigate website that allows you to search over 20 different bag shapes or just search by the collection/print of your choice! 

Obviously, just by the looks of mine pictured below, this is a perfect example of where fashion meets function! Not only are they über attractive, but because of the variety of sizes, they can each work with your cosmetics of choice. 

ADDED BONUS: STEPHANIE JOHNSON ALSO MAKES CRAVE-WORTHY IPAD CASES FOR $50! At affordable prices, these bags makes an amazing gift for any fashionable girl on the run!

With her impressive Hollywood roster who just adore her  cases as much as I do, I can guarantee that you will fall head over heels in love with them-its in the bag!  ;)

NFL October Breast Cancer Awareness Catalog Shoot!

I always speak about how self gratifying it is when I am able to make someone feel and look beautiful through my work, whether it be personally styling someone or styling a model on a photo shoot.  And once in a while, if your lucky, opportunities arise that make you feel like you actually made a difference in someone's life on a given day. Yesterday was one of those days for me and was just a testament to how much I love my job!

I was given the amazing opportunity of styling breast cancer survivors for the October Breast Cancer Awareness GIANTS catalog! Everything about this day had my name all over it...working with the survivors in dressing them and making them feel good and being in the empty Meadowlands Stadium. I am no sports buff but WOW , it was INCREDIBLE!  

Women of all ages and one gentleman arrived super excited about the shoot and they were filled with personality! As people started getting comfortable with one another, they started asking about their stories and their sickness. One girl had a story that made me and my assistant literally look at each other in shock and disbelief. It was hard to imagine what she had gone through at such a young age...what all of these incredible people had gone through. As we all got out onto the field, everyone started screaming into the camera's cheering onto the field in front of them. It was SWELTERING hot on the field and they were in Fall gear and not one time did they complain. NOT ONCE! It was just no sweat off their backs, literally.  Their energy was outstanding and they were just so happy to be where they were in that moment, cheering about being breast cancer survivors! It was TRULY amazing and so humbling. At the end of the shoot, I noticed everyone exchanging facebook names and emails to stay in touch and it brought me to such a sentimental place. Within just 3 hours, all of the survivors made a connection with one another that no one else around them could ever understand and it was truly a moment and special day I will never forget for the rest of my life.

While October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, it is never too early to educate yourself on breast cancer awareness. To find out more, please visit http://www.nbcam.org/.

Hi All!

I would like to introduce a line of jewelry from someone whom I am proud to say have grown to be very close with. Since I love to keep it in the family and do anything to help those that I love, I thought it would be a shame to not share Samantha's beautiful pieces, which bring luck and love, to all of you. Aside from Samantha being sweet, charming, and adorable, her true passion for jewelry design shines through all that she creates and since each piece is one of a kind, what's not to love about Samantha!?

Samantha Jamie is a creative designer who recently graduated from Syracuse University's School of Art and Design. She has grown up around jewelry, always collecting pieces that she finds diverse, yet eye catching. That is what led her to start her own line. She now has the ability to create various pieces that are unique for her clientele. Samantha Jamie's true inspiration comes from her heart. She believes any piece of jewelry makes a statement.

Any accessory to add to your wardrobe can tell a story and complete your outfit. That is why Samantha Jamie creates one of a kind pieces. She handpicks each bead herself, making it special for the lucky one who wears it. A lot of love and devotion goes into designing each piece. Visit www.samanthajamie.com to view the full collection.
