Red Carpet Style in Aidan Mattox at the International Emmys

For this year's International Emmys, which took place on November 21, 2016, I wore a stunning, sleeveless embroidered mesh column gown in Black/Light Mink by Aidan Mattox. This was the first time I had ever worn Aidan Mattox, and the fit in size 0 was perfect for me. This style was very flattering on, especially with the banded waist. Aidan Mattox is known for beautiful beading and embellishments on their gowns, and I loved the detailing on this one. You can find Aidan Mattox dresses are available at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue. 

Caravan Stylist Studio at the Gregory Hotel, created my beauty look, with hair sponsor OGX Beauty and makeup sponsors Pixi Beauty and POP Beauty. For my hair look, Valerie created a voluminous updo and for my makeup, a golden smoky eye with a nude lip with POP Beauty's Plump Pout in Bare Nectar.

Many thanks to Aidan Mattox for dressing me and to Valerie and Caravan Studio for getting me glammed up for this year's International Emmy's! Here's a look at my red carpet interviews.

Beauty Prep at Caravan Stylist Studio: #Beauty20 Awards

I can always count on Caravan Stylist Studio at The Carlton Hotel to help get me beauty-ready whether it's for a style shoot or red carpet event. This time I needed to be prepped for the #Beauty20 Awards, in which I was presenting the award for Best Beauty Startup.

I can always count on Valerie Star, hair and makeup extraordinaire, to make me look fabulous! For my hair look, I wanted to go with loose curls, so Valerie styled my hair with iKonic Precision Styling Tools and since it was a rainy afternoon, she made sure my curls stayed in place with Sexy Hair  - their Get Layered Flash Dry Thickening Hairspray works wonders on me!

For my makeup, Valerie created the perfect smoky eye look with a nude lip using Kryolan's amazing cosmetics, which stays on flawlessly for hours on end. 

For my manicure, Valerie painted my nails with Zoya Nail Polish in Veronica, a brilliant red wine color, and Teigan, which added a cranberry liquid metal accent to each nail. Valerie used a very simple sponge technique to add some sparkle, and this is one that would be incredinly easy to do at home. She cut a piece of a makeup sponge, brushed Teigan onto the top half and Veronica on the bottom half of the sponge and gently pressed onto my nail, and repeated that step for each nail.  

As always, thank you Valerie, Karmela and Claudine for taking the time and having me at Caravan Stylist Studio! Additional sponsors at Caravan Stylist Studio include Volvic Water, Belvoir Elderflower (obsessed with their lemonades!), Simple Skincare, Cottonelle, Bullet Acne Aid, Fake Bake, Next Issue and Zip Loop.

Caravan Stylist Studio Gifting Suite

On June 20th, I returned to Caravan Stylist Studio at The Carlton Hotel to checkout the Summertime Gifting Suite, which featured glasses.com, LeSportsac, Nautica beach towels, swimwear by Cielo Rosso, sundresses by Bobi, flats by Oka B, jewelry by Joanna Laura Constantine and eBay x CFDA "You Can't Fake Fashion" totes. It was also great learning about Emma Bell's (played Andrea's sister, Amy, on The Walking Dead) project with Seeds of Change. Love the necklace that came with the organic seeds! 

I excited to learn about glasses.com, who will be launching their 3D Virtual Try-On iPad app within the next few weeks. It was fun to try it out the app, using the iPad's camera to create a 3D model of my face to try on and view more than 100 frames in less than a minute. The 3Dfit technology also allows you to view any frame from any angle, perfectly scaled to your face. You can also compare frames using side-by-side images, save your favorite styles or send the images to family and friends. Glasses.com carries a wide range of styles, from retro chic to modern classics. I wear both eyeglasses and sunglasses, so it was great to see a lot of my favorite brands available, including Oakley, Burberry, Chloe, Derek Lam, Versace, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Guess and Roberto Cavalli, plus shipping is free! I've been obsessing over rose gold lately, so the Oakley Daisy Chain sunglasses are my favorite pair! Can't wait to get those!

Caravan Stylist Studio is a full service wardrobe and beauty studio, connecting media, VIPs and celebrities with top designers and beauty brands. Caravan has fabulously gotten me photo shoot-ready and has gorgeously prepped celebrities for red carpet events, premieres and upfronts. 

At the studio, celebrity nail artist Sunshine, accented my nails with Zoya nail polish and Valerie Star styled my hair with BaByliss Pro styling tools and Salon Grafix hair products. Thank you again to Claudine, Valerie and Tide Pods for inviting me back!

Modern Glam: Von Vonni Transformer Dress

Von Vonni's Transformer Dress is glamorous and stunning, especially in red, and the best part is that you can wear it twenty-five different ways, draping, twisting, tying and cinching it into a halter, deep V, one-shoulder, kimono sleeve, Grecian-style or even as a maxi skirt. Another thing that amazes me about this dress is that it is one size fits all, and I didn't even alter the length. I plan on getting it tailored so I have more ways to wear it, but the dress can actually be shortened with a pair of scissors since there is no hemline. I love that this dress also makes me look tall! The Transformer Dress is available in multitude of colors, patterns, metallics and a shorter, cocktail dress version at vonvonni.com.

Dress: Von Vonni Transformer, $120

Headband: Deepa Gurnani

Earrings: Jewelmint

Rings: Amy O. Jewelry Rocker Wonder Woman Rings, $16.00

Shoes: Silvia Tcherassi for Payless

Many thanks to Valerie Star for styling my hair, makeup and nails with sponsors Salon Grafix, BaByliss PRO, Pop Beauty and Zoya products at Caravan Stylist Studio at The Carlton Hotel. Thank you Claudine DeSola for having me at the studio!

BaByliss Pro Style Shoot Featuring BaByliss Nano Titanium Hot Rollers

On April 3rd, BaByliss Pro guests including select bloggers and press took part in a style shoot at Caravan Stylist Studio.

To prep for the shoot, Adreanna applied DDF skincare, including Aloe Toning Complex, Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew and Wrinkle-Resist Plus Pore Minimizer. Adreanna then created my makeup look with the following Ulta products - Fabulous Face Concealer Stick, Extreme Wear Matte Finish Mousse Foundation, My Girl pallet, Molten Eye Shadow, Lash Icon Mascara and Lip Gel. Adreanna styled my hair using the Conair Ceramic Round Brush, BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium blow dryer and BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium hot rollers.

The BaByliss PRO Nano Titanium Hot Roller sets are available in 5, 8, 12, 20 or 30-roller sets, with 4 different roller diameters, including small, medium large and jumbo. Since my hair is thin and fine, the 5-jumbo roller set is perfect for me to use at home and great for travel.

I was amazed at how hot the rollers get, as I've used some rollers that don't get hot enough and as a result don't produce the curls I'm looking for or all-day staying power. The hot rollers are so easy to use, and come with butterfly clips and metal pins. I find that when I use the pins my hair doesn't crease, but if the rollers don't want to stay in place then I'll also use the butterfly clips. My hair beautifully goes from straight to silky, voluminous wavy curls that last throughout the day.

The following BaByliss PRO Nano Titanium Hot Rollers are available at folica.com.

- BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium 5 Roller Hairsetter (BABNTTS7), $34.99

- BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium 8 Roller Hairsetter (BABNTHS8), $54.99

- BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium 12 Roller Hairsetter (BABNTCHV15), $54.99

- BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium 20 Roller Hairsetter (BABNTCHV21), $64.99

- BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium, 30 Roller Hairsetter (BABNTHS40), $99.99

Prepped for the shoot with hair and makeup ready!

After hair and makeup, I then perused through the designer samples available to wear for the shoot. Most of the pieces I picked out were dresses and separates by Rae, in bold colors and prints. The Amanda Bird of Paradise mixed print maxi dress by Rae was ultimately the dress I chose - and surprisingly was the perfect length!

Here are the final images from the shoot. They came out absolutely fabulous! A very big thank you to Paola, Jason and Adriana. It was a pleasure working with you all - thank you for having me participate in such a fun shoot!
