Wearing the perfect compliment to your spring ensemble is definitely something we all can use! I found out about this gorgeous cosmetics company TIA Cosmetics and just had to share the news with the Dailyfashionista.com readers! One of my favorites is their ‘Fashionista‘ eye-shadow kit that offers pretty & flirty spring-ready colors. I also like the ‘Get the Look’ portion of her website where I can find out how to create an amazing look on myself using TIA’s well-made beauty line! You know when you just find the perfect lipgloss and feel as if the fashion heavens have opened?! TIA carries a wonderful variety of lipglosses that stay put and look perfect. I feel the same way about her lipstick collection. Looking to mix it up and go for that bold, sexy red? TIA’s red carpet ready lipstick line will have them taking more than a second glance at you! Priced reasonably, high quality, beautifully pigmented and an easy to use website – TIA Cosmetics has it all.

The right accessories will definitely make your ensemble stand-out from the fashionable crowd! At Dailyfashionista we wrote an article regarding one of our favorite jewelry designers Jane Basch and her Layers of Lux necklace collection. It was especially fabulous to see one of Jane’s special designs on Entertainment Tonite worn by the beautiful Samantha Harris! Jane’s designs have also been worn by ‘hot’ celebrities such as Christina Applegate, Demi Moore, Debra Messing and featured in many top fashion magazines such as Lucky! The wonderful aspect to Jane’s jewelry is that you need not be a celebrity to enjoy your very own custom-created Jane Basch jewelry piece because all of her collections are priced well with impeccable craftsmanship (or should I say crafts-womanship).

Jane’s jewelry collection consists of handcrafted, personalized jewelry which is all proudly made in the USA with extra-special care. I can’t begin to tell you how many compliments I have received on my very own initial “D” pendant, or my DailyFashionista.com nameplate necklace. There’s a certain empowering feeling I get every time I wear one of Jane’s initial pieces or her designs in general. One of my new favorites for Spring 2012 are her Gemstone Arm Candy bracelets where you can pick your very own decadent candy-color and wear it as a stunning bracelet!

Jewelry should be fun, whimsical, and a celebration of life at  www.janebasch.com.

So here is the breakdown of my latest look! Viva la Fashion Week!! Best accessory: smile!

Jill Stuart Runway Fall 2012

It’s most definitely many a girls dream to be able to sit at a Fashion Show for a top designer during Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week! I for one was extremely excited when I learned that I had the opportunity to sit at Jill Stuart’s Fall 2012 show at Lincoln Center.  I had the pleasure to view the show from the exclusive American Express Fashion Skybox.

Celebrating its tenth season as a sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, American Express continues to showcase its dedication and commitment to the fashion industry through its evolving roster of tailored experiences. With the return of the coveted Skybox Space, the Cardmember Lounge perched high above the runways, Cardmembers were given unparalleled access to the week’s most exciting shows from the comfort of the plush VIP lounge.

It was clear to see the reasons why in Jill Stuart’s world — it’s fun to be a girl, again. Floral sheaths, peter-pan collars, her exclusive prints in gorgeous colors such as iris blue, purple and rose popped against a black background. Sexy platform patent and suede shoes accented these flirty looks while celebrities such as Olivia Palermo took in the show.  You can find out the chic details regarding how the models looked so fabulous for the show, below — with the inside beauty scoop. Also, I would like to share a video clip that I took while chatting with Jill immediately after her NYFW show! She discusses her love of vintage fashions and how they influence her lovely collections!
