MTV's Teen Wolf Panel at New York Comic Con 2013

During the "Teen Wolf" panel at New York Comic Con on Saturday, October 12th, it was announced that the hit series will be returning for a fourth season in 2014 with 12 new episodes. Additionally, MTV will debut the new talk show "Wolf Watch" set to air weekly after each "Teen Wolf" episode. The highly anticipated second half of "Teen Wolf" season three will begin on Monday, January 6, 2014 at 10pm ET.

"Wolf Watch" will be hosted by Jill Wagner, who plays "Kate Argent" in "Teen Wolf." The half-hour talk show will give fans more insight into the series, covering topics ranging from the heavy mythology elements featured in the season, to the steamy romances and hilarious bromances that run rampant between the series' supernatural high-schoolers. The series will include guest appearances by "Teen Wolf" cast members sharing behind-the-scenes secrets and celebrity super fans will also drop in to get some of the answers viewers crave from week to week. 

The panel featured on-screen son and father duo "Stiles" and "Stilinski" played by Dylan O'Brien and Linden Ashby, as well as Executive Producer Jeff Davis, and moderated by TV Guide Magazine Senior Writer, Damian Holbrook. 

During the panel, we got a sneak peek at a really eerie clip, showing us that there's going to be more of a supernatural tone. Dylan O'Brien also named his jeep Roscoe during the panel, so we'll see if that actually gets written into the show. It was also said that Peter has more of a manipulative role and will get a taste of his own medicine and Stiles loses a certain status this season. What really had us thinking was when Jeff Davis mentioned "Not everyone was making it out alive."

Syfy's Haven Panel at New York Comic Con 2013

My first panel of Comic Con 2013 kicked off with the cast of the Syfy hit series Haven on October 10th at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center. The panel included Richard Donut, who moderated the panel, Emily Rose, Lucas Bryant, Eric Balfour, John Dunsworth, Shawn Piller and Brian Millikin. 

This was my first Haven panel which was filled with lots of laughs, singing and even ended with Eric Balfour performing a marriage for two fans. The Haven cast was all about the fans, who took the time to meet with fans after the panel for autographs and pictures. 

Check out the videos below from the panel. You can catch season 4 of Haven on Friday nights on the Syfy channel at 10pm ET.

Lucas Bryant walks us through what it's like to get hit by Adam Copeland aka Edge.

Emily Rose gives us a hint as to seeing Audrey's character again this season. If you caught Friday's episode, then you know that Audrey has been masquerading as Lexie to prevent having to kill Nathan right on the spot when she returned to Haven. I'm curious to see how Nathan finally realizes that Lexie is really Audrey.

Hastens Travel Pillow + Fall Beauty Travel Essentials

I am way overdue for a spa weekend getaway! Even though I still need to finalize my plans, I'm all set with my travel essentials, including my Hastens Travel Pillow. I love how it has a reversible design that zips all the way around. It is filled with 100% duck down and doubles as a makeup bag for storing beauty products. You can sport the rugged blue check side and then reverse the pillow to expose the soft cotton and down interior to indulge in a luxurious nap. This travel pillow works for any type of travel, whether you're on a plane or a road trip. Since it matches perfectly with my bedding, I even use it at home for a power nap (it's definitely more comfortable than falling asleep on my laptop). The Hastens Travel Pillow retails for $110, comes in three colors and is available at Hastens stores nationwide. For more information visit hastens.com.

Here's a look at my top beauty essentials for fall that I'd pack in my travel pillow:

1) Skin&Co Roma Truffle Therapy Gommage Deep Exfoliating Face Exfoliator has a rich, luxe texture that leaves skin smooth, soft, moisturized and refreshed. It contains truffle extract, Shea Butter, Allantoin, Carrot extract and Tocopherols.

2) Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum contains youth-defending herbal extracts and firms, hydrates and revitalizes the skin while protecting it from environmental aggressors. I apply it under my moisturizer for a health, radiant glow.

3) L'Occitane Divine Cream really absorbs into the skin and moisturizes, and includes anti-aging properties. I love the scent of L'Occitane Lavender Hand Cream, enriched with shea butter and lavender essential oil. I actually carry this in my bag everyday, so my hands stay soft and smooth all the time. 

4) per-fekt skin perfection CC creme with broad spectrum SPF 30, eye perfection gel, skin perfection conceal and cheek perfection gel. The CC creme has a soft silky finish with a mousse-like texture. It hydrates, protects, color corrects, soothes and controls oil. The eye perfection gel smooths away the appearance of puffy, tired eyes while skin perfection conceal hides darkness, broken capillaries, sun damage, and blemishes. The cheek perfection gel leaves a hint of natural color, sculpting and highlighting cheekbones. 

5) I am so happy I included these two products in my curated Birchbox at Birchbox Local during New York Fashion Week - Mally Beauty Age Rebel Eyeshadow in Smoky Quartz and Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Shampoo. Mally Beauty's shadow stick glides on smoothly and is easy to blend. Serge Normant's dry shampoo beats out any other ones I have tried. I use it to add some texture and volume to my hair, and this one doesn't leave a powdery residue.

Tracy Reese Spring 2014 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

This past September, Tracy Reese presented her Spring 2014 collection at Mercedes Benz fashion week in Lincoln Center. For this collection Reese aimed to invoke "sensuality, energy, and optimism" through "an array of bold, spirited styles infused with Afro Cuban influences."

The show itself felt alive and spirited with a live Latin band playing as the models shimmied down the runway. The collection featured many separates and coordinates in bright colors such as red, orange, and white. Additionally, Reese played with different tetures and prints in both feminine and sporty looks. The final touch was to add youthful fun to the collection by styling many models with fedoras over low buns and stylish backpacks.

On September 7th and 8th, during New York Fashion Week, guests recharged at the Zappos.com lounge across from Lincoln Center. Fashionistas were able to take a break between fashion shows with complimentary juices from BluePrint Cleanse, charging stations and massages.

At the lounge I interviewed Shyloh Wehner, Senior Buyer - Zappos Merchandising about shopping for petite clothing at Zappos.com.
