Here are pics from last night's event kicking off the havaianas pop-up shop on Chicago's North Ave. Beach. Top right I'm joined by my event co-hosts. Top left I'm posing with my talented intern Cody just before making our own pair of havaianas. Bottom left see all the color choices and combos to choose from. It was a tough decision, but I went with a beige bottom and pewter strap that I personalized with a blue birdie adornment shown below. Want to make your own pair? The pop-up shop will be open Thurs-Sun (11am-7pm) through July 31st!

Top 5 Bath & Body Picks
Feb 10, 2012
I mentioned previously that I'll be at Bath & Body Works this Saturday at Oakbrook Center for the big party celebrating their Pink Chiffon fragrance launch. You're invited, and I hope to see you at the store. It'll be worth it for anyone who wears pink (score free product!), is one of the first 50 peeps to say I sent you (score another free product!) and who enters the raffle (you may win a trip to Hawaii or a bedroom makeover!).
Plus, we can get our hair braided together (for free, of course) at the cool braid station. Choose a ribbon scented with your favorite Fine Fragrance Mist and it will be weaved into the braid. In addition to the fun, I do have a serious job to do -- share my top product picks and beauty tips with you.
Here's a sneak peek of my top 5 BBW products...
Slatkin & Co. Flower Shop Candle: Smells like a garden -- soft, floral and powdery.
Caribbean Escape Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap: Now that I'm a mom I feel like I'm scrubbing in every time I wash my hands, which is a lot. I like the fresh, fruity scent and that the formula doesn't dry out my hands.
Moonlight Path Shimmer Mist: This is the perfect body shimmer to spritz on legs and arms for Valentine's Day. It gives skin a light sheen and sparkle. It'd also be pretty to wear with a swimsuit during a beach vacay.
Pink Chiffon Fine Fragrance Mist: Brand spanking new, the delicious Pink Chiffon scent is as sweet and sugary as it is frothy and light.
Warm Vanilla Sugar Intense Moisture Body Butter: I love a thick butter to keep my legs from getting scaly in the winter, and this one is even better with a hint of vanilla.

The Beauty Girl Bachelorette Party
Jul 25, 2011
Saturday night I had the pleasure of entertaining a bubbly group of women to celebrate their BFF's bachelorette party.
P.S. A Beauty Girl Party is never without an awesome gift bag. For this event, I hooked the ladies up with adorable summer totes (shown in the above photo) loaded with all kinds of goodies including lipstick, tank tops and skincare.
As they munched on apps and cocktails, I filled everyone in on red-carpet beauty tricks, my favorite products, fun trends and of course the essential beauty and style tips to look incredible on your wedding day and in the pictures that will last a lifetime. Plus, I brought one of my go-to makeup artists Rommy to glam up the girls with makeup touchups before they hit the town.

The Beauty Girl "Best in Beauty" Event Highlights & Photos
Jun 14, 2011
Thank you to everyone who attended my "Best in Beauty" event this past Thursday!
To see all of the festivities from the evening, scroll down and click on the photos.
For this celebration of beauty, I handpicked some of my favorite beauty vendors in Chicago to give women a night of pampering, and what a night it was! The upbeat crowd of 100 was all smiles indulging in perfect eye brow waxes and incredible hairstyling (see below gallery for some of the red-carpet worthy updos) provided by Maxine salon, relaxing chair massages courtesy of David Barton Gym and custom airbrush tans, thanks to the girls at Glo Airbrush Tan. And the VIPs were treated to a special non-surgical mini brow lift from C.I. Luxury MedSpa.
In between services, guests got to sample and learn about the fantastic French skincare line Votre Vu. Not to mention, everyone left with some of my favorite Votre Vu products (Antioxidant Eye Gelee and Amour D'Ore multi-vitamin oil for Face, Body and Hair) in their gift bags. Another perk of the event -- 20% off Kerastase and Shu Uemura haircare, two brands that never go on sale.
A big congrats to all of the raffle prize winners! During the night I gave away over $1000 in freebies including $450 worth of Botox, a makeover at Maxine salon, a suite of Votre Vu Skincare products valued at $500, a one-hour massage and two sessions for in-home airbrush tanning.
Keep in mind, you'll never leave a Beauty Girl event without a legit, high-value gift bag loaded with stuff that will make your friends jealous. For this event I included over $300 worth of goodies including my favorite summer must-haves like Degree's new deodorant and Neutrogena and Aveeno sunblocks. And never underestimate the power of paper. There were also gift cards for amazing treatments like a $125 facial, haircut discount and a week's pass plus free personal training session at David Barton Gym.
The bar was hopping all night long. To keep everyone feeling and looking beautiful from the inside out, the delicious SnapDragon beauty beverage, a perservative-free drink loaded with all kinds of good-for-you antioxidants, juices and vitamins like green tea, mango and ginkgo biloba, was served (note: it's refreshing on its own but also makes for a great mixer) as was Effen's newest vodka flavor, Effen Cucumber. It smells as clean and refreshing as the cucumber water you drink at a spa! Being that I'm preggars, I wasn't able to imbibe, but even non-drinkers were raving about how good it tasted. Of course, The Beauty Girl events are never complete without some sweets. The cupcakes from Lovely Bake Shop were a hit.
Have fun perusing the gallery of pics!
