#OMGDessertGoals w/ Jamberry

Because summer is a distant memory, and I can now safely hide behind cozy oversized sweaters and blanket scarves, I threw all caution to the wind this past Sunday and enjoyed all.the.things at the Dessert Goals Festival in Williamsburg.

Self-described as ‘basically the best day ever’ (and I wholeheartedly agree) the festival gave sugar-addicted New Yorkers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to indulge in some of the best desserts the city has to offer, in addition to featuring special tastings, fun workshops, a rooftop lounge with skyline views of Manhattan, and a dedicated Instagram photo garden.

The lovely folks at Jamberry also hooked your girl up with a sparkly mani beforehand. If you haven’t tried them before, Jamberry are flexible wraps that you place over your nails for an instant mani. There’s no dry time, and they’re super easy to apply. The only tools you need are a blow dryer to help set the adhesive, a nail clipper and a nail file.  They also add new designs constantly, so  you never have to worry about getting bored.

Backstage at #NYFW with Red Door & Vivienne Tam

Recently I was able to take a peek behind-the-scenes with Red Door Spa during the Vivienne Tam Spring 2017 show. If you’ve ever been backstage during New York Fashion Week, then you know that it’s an absolute whirlwind of controlled chaos. There’s such a flurry activity going on and so many models in various stages of readiness that you wonder how they’re going to pull it off in time. Yet somehow, everyone manages to do their part and pull everything together just in time for a few magical moments on the runway. It truly is a sight to behold… just make sure you stay out the makeup artists’ and hairstylists’ way!

As you can see, getting the models ready is clearly a team effort. The Red Door Spa squad had multiple hands on deck to create the perfect hair and nail looks to complement Vivienne Tam’s Space Cowboy Meets Rodeo-themed collection.

The clothes were an interesting mashup of textures and colors done in intricate lace and embroidery. I also noticed a lot of fringe and heavy use of metallics which are both trending for this fall as well. You can view more pictures from the full collection online at Vogue.com.
