Faviana Oscars VIP Lounge and Glam Box

On March 4th, before heading up to the Faviana Oscars Red Carpet Viewing Party, I attended  Faviana's VIP Lounge for champagne from Chloe Wine Collection and beauty services from sundays, Giella and Fake Bake.

Influencers in attendance enjoyed complimentary manicures thanks to sundays nail studio. For the evening, I opted for a midnight blue shade to go with my dress. sundays offers 10-free, non-toxic, vegan and cruelty free nail polish and services, with locations in NoMad and Saks Fifth Avenue Downtown. I absolutely love sundays nail polish shades, which are so wearable and range from soft hues to darker colors. 

We also customized our own hand-poured lip gloss or lipstick from Giella. We were able to choose our color, formula (matte, cream or sheer) and aroma (grapefruit, peppermint, vanilla or none). Since I was sporting a smoky eye I had Giella create the perfect nude lip gloss for me. 

I also enjoyed a touch up from the Fake Bake glow bar with a little blush and bronzer, which really completed my look! I can't wait to start wearing Fake bake's Tinted Body Glow too!

After the Oscars red carpet viewing party, I took home an amazing Faviana Glam Box! Check out these fabulous brands in my Glam Box. Can't wait to start using all of this!

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.
