GOOD DAY NEW YORK’S ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER JULIE CHANG ADORES CLEARVISION’S NEW GLOBAL FIT FRAMES!

Good Day New York‘s Julie Chang is a fan of the new Global Fit collection!  The stylish entertainment reporter shows off the fabulous BCBGMAXAZRIA Catarina Global Fit frame in Raisin Laminate. On January 12th, Chang tweeted: “Finally…they have glasses for low/no nose bridge folks! These are the “Global Fit” by BCBG available at ClearVision.”  Chang personally thanked ClearVision’s Marketing Team for the “chic specs” calling the “glasses made for flat nosed folks like myself…genius! And finally!!”

Personally, being able to see the world with great vision is truly a gift and being able to do it ‘in-style’ is even better! Here at Dailyfashionista.com, I visit the ClearVision site often, because they offer wonderful & flattering specs at reasonable prices. You can’t put a price on perfect vision, but they make it available to many of us out there. Julie Chang looks beautiful and I too, love these frames!

To learn more about the new Global Fit, please contact a ClearVision Sales Consultant.

Hi, everyone! I always like to share the fact that I come from a journalistic background. My brother is an accomplished book author. For example, my father was the staffer and researcher for New York Times Pulitzer Prize winning columnist William L. Safire and has been the PR man for former Presidents such as Gerald R. Ford. I sometimes feel as if I have to defend my interests in fashion for fear of being stamped “superficial” or vapid, because much to the contrary I have a deep side (just like most of us do in life).

I just had to share this you-tube that’s taking over the air-waves, entitled (ahem) “Sh*t Fashion Girls Say – the parody.” It’s ok to laugh, because I sure did! Here’s to a powerful and productive week!

My favorite line you ask?! “I think I’m ready for bangs.”

“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.”

- Katherine Hepburn

An uplifting quote from an American movie icon who stylishly wore slacks and set the stage for a new trend.  A statement that both men and women can appreciate.

Prasad Cosmetic Surgery, proud supporters of the Life Lover Foundation, funding new and novel projects in cancer research, had an amazing event recently at their Garden City offices. The “Real Housewives of Jericho Beauty Event” was a fabulous evening in which all proceeds from the event went to charity. Amiya Prasad, M.D. threw a lavish event at his Garden City, NY location for his clientele. The beauty event included treatments from Prasad Cosmetic Surgery’s Medi Spa. They even brought in a male model dressed as a Doctor, which was a huge hit (ahem) amongst this fashionable group!! A fashionista favorite is the Airbrush Body Bronzing, especially during these dismal winter months or to prepare your skin with a warm-glow for that vacation you truly deserve!! No detail was left un-attended to as scrumptious treats were served as the ladies learned more about the latest Prasad services that will have them looking and feeling their all-time best!

Some of Prasad’s unique & luxurious treatments included:

HYDRAFACIAL: The newest advance in non-laser skin resurfacing, HydraFacial is the only hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin without irritation, discomfort or downtime.

PellevéTM comfortably heats the deep layers of your skin safely using advanced radiowave technology to stimulate collagen production. Perfect for frown lines, eye area, nasolabial folds and marionette lines, you will see immediate results and younger skin even weeks later.

Our formulated spray tan solution will give you that “just off the beach” bronzed look in minutes. Our professional body contouring enhances your tan for added definition.

Hi, everyone I had the opportunity to stop by the Emiliani Beauty event with celebrity make-up artist Carol Hanna.  I have to say, that I was overwhelmed by the presence of so many amazing beauty-brands, celebrities and industry professionals all gathered in one massive space!  OPI, Paul Mitchell and Moroccan Oil were just some of the fabulous companies that had their latest on display! Also, running all day were various fashion shows, and of course true to form this fashionista had to join in on some of the festivities. As most of you know, I hail from the Garden State and try to show my support for events that take place here as well as in New York City!  It was also great to see Tracy DiMarco one of my favorite stars of the E! and Style Network show ‘Jerseylicious’ along with some of my other favorite reality TV stars and radio personalities. A sincere thank-you to Maria Cucciniello and Chrissy Colombino from ‘The Hip Event’ for this stylish invitation!

Recently, Emiliani Enterprises hosted their annual Beauty Show, Vision Becomes Reality at the NJ Convention Center in Edison, NJ. The biggest and best hair stylists in the industry were in attendance: Michael O’Rourke, Phillip Wilson, and more. During the three day event guests were able to enjoy stage performances from their favorite hairdressers, and participate in education classes in the “hands on arena.” Throughout the day guests attended cutting and styling classes, and purchased the latest beauty products that top exhibitors were showcasing at discounted rates. The event kicked off Saturday, October 15th at 6:30pm with a charity reception for Project Ladybug founded by reality star Dina Manzo of HGTV’s Dina’s Party, former RHONJ star.  VIP guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and snacked on some hors d’ oeuvres while waiting for the amazing one hour presentation from Philip Wilson. Dina Manzo was presented a check from the Emiliani team for $5,000 dollars, from the money they raised by the cut-a-thon events participation salons hosted.  After the show all guests got an exclusive preview of the salon floor while some of today’s hottest Reality-TV stars stopped by the media booth like Anthony Lombardi and Christy Pereira from Jerseylicious, and Carla Marie from Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, NY’s hit radio station, Z100.

With the fall season upon us and the lazy, hazy, relaxed days of summer behind us — it’s time to polish up and sharpen your fall look. Men, I’m going to be honest with you. Grooming is really important to your over-all look and appeal. While for some of the Dailyfashionista.com readers sufficient grooming might be a given, I just want to make sure that I stress the importance of a polished appearance to all of the men out there. Trust me, ladies take notice and so do your employers!!
 
Some men are hesitant about visiting anything other than an old-school barber-shop. Many of the men out there think that uttering the words “hair-salon” is like eating cut-glass. With that being said, there’s a new breed of barbershop in town. One that is manly, but also has that extra something that you hard-working guys deserve.
 
The Hoboken Man is one such establishment that has their pulse on what’s hot and happening in men’s grooming! Think modern-day barbershop. The Hoboken Man has a modern, masculine feel with richly stained wood panel walls, chrome accents, and exposed ductwork for an industrial flair.  A set of eight flat panel high-definition televisions hang in optimal viewing areas. Their vintage Playboy collection includes the first-ever cover featuring Marilyn Monroe. Talk about atmosphere!!

The Hoboken Man provides clients a classic barbershop experience with all the services of a high-end salon. Services include: classic hot-lather straight razor shaves, precision haircuts and custom color (for those men that may want to cover those grays), spa manicures and pedicures (it’s ok – you can still be manly and get a pedicure – your girlfriend will thank you), anti-aging and deep cleansing facials, and a variety of other skin care treatments to keep your skin looking handsome! Let’s face it — American Werewolf in NYC isn’t going to score with the ladies and if your toe-nails scrape her feet in bed — well, that’s not good either!
 
The Hoboken Man is a full-service barbershop dedicated to serving the hair, nail and skin care needs of the urban man. For further information, please visit: http://www.thehobokenman.com/. See you around town, gentlemen!

When we are in the public-eye our face is the first thing that people notice.  Keeping a vibrant, healthy complexion is something that is important because it not only makes us look great, but also helps to boost our inner-confidence.  I find it rather ironic that many times when I interview note-ables in the fashion and beauty industry, a passion to make the world a better and prettier place seems to arise repetitively.

During a recent rainy day in NYC, I had the opportunity to visit the Lia Schorr Day Spa right on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. While there, I got the inside scoop on everything beautiful and powerful straight from the creative genius of this uber successful empire builder, Lia Schorr, herself. Enjoy the video that relates some additional information about this delightful place! Besides learning some very useful tips about my skin, I also was taught how to apply blush to my face using expert techniques (something I think every woman out there can relate to). A thank-you to Gina Capozza for documenting our experience.

More about Lia Schorr:

At the Lia Schorr Day Spa, a semi-private elevator whisks you up above the East Side streets to a cream-on-white reception area where the sun always seems to shine. Separate treatment areas are specially designed to provide facial and body smoothing. Beauty journalists from around the world rely on Lia Schorr for her no-nonsense advice. Not only does she have over 35 years of hands-on experience, but Lia is also an educator and author of three books, including the first-ever complete guide to men’s skin care. All the estheticians at the Spa have impeccable credentials, some with 25 years experience on the Lia Schorr staff. The lucky-for-you result: After a facial, clients leave feeling totally relaxed and rejuvenated, with skin that shows no redness or irritation. Each item in the signature line is custom-made to Lia’s exacting specifications, including her exclusive men’s skincare collection. But don’t expect a hard-sell here. The focus: on serious skincare that’s pared-down but pampering. Their goal: that you leave the Lia Schorr Day Spa feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ‘renewed.’

Learning blush application techniques at the famous Lia Schorr Beauty School!

Hi, everyone!! As Style Editor of Swimspot.com I certainly know the importance of taking care of myself.  When we feel good and fit, we also radiate health & confidence! Working-out reduces stress and keeps us in a positive state-of-mind.

When I heard about this amazing opportunity to try out True Pilates NYC (East Side Location) Packages of Private & Tower/Mat Classes in conjunction with Rue La La that will be sold at around 40% off the retail price – I just had to share the news!! No stranger to True Pilates, I filmed a video segment there for Next workout wear at one of their sleek locations. The ladies and I truly enjoyed our great work-out with pilates master John Degenshein and learned quite a bit about how pilates really improves your overall health, well-being, as well as physique!

Visit the Rue La La website for the sale being ran on Wed, Sept 14th: www.ruelala.com!! Feeling re-newed for the fall season just became that much easier! I certainly will be headed for some energizing classes there!!

That’s me — warding-off negative vibes with my evil-eye bracelet from FASHION BOUTIQUE! This bracelet is similiar to a style that Charlize Theron was spotted wearing.

Hi, everyone!! I don’t know about you, but I certainly can use any and all good-luck that comes my way.  These days, it seems the world has people that sometimes are two-faced, don’t wish us well and are downright devious! I always like to talk “positive” on the fashionista site, but let’s get real the world can sometimes be a harsh place.  With that being said, I am TRULY enjoying my new ‘good luck’ bracelet from Fashion Boutique (one of the trendiest sites to buy fun costume jewelry). As a matter of fact, I’m very selective as to what companies I recommend, but I have to say my experience with Fashion Boutique was really pleasant and this evil-eye bracelet has been garnering comments all over from my fashion friends!! I really love Fashion Boutique because their items are all gorgeous and really reasonably priced!

More about the ‘Evil Eye’: The evil eye is a Good Luck Charm believed to reflect evil and protect the wearer against misfortune or bad things happening. The evil eye is a shield against various forms of bad luck that is willed onto you by others. It helps to keep your life in balance, protects you from “bad karma” and jealousy of others that could otherwise have a negative effect on your well-being and your life in general.

They also sell other well-made trendy items such as feather earrings which is a style that celebs such as Vanessa Hudgens favors, gorgeous glass accented headbands, like Kelly Osbourne has been seen wearing on the red carpet and so much more!! Be sure to swing by Fashion Boutique and tell them Dailyfashionista.com sent you!!

Fashion Boutique is selling trendy feather earrings that are inspired by a pair that Vanessa Hudgens was seen wearing!

This glass bead accented headband makes the perfect fall accessory for your favorite outfit!! Kelly Osbourne looked so chic in this one!

Fashion Boutique also now carries hair jewelry similar to what Kim Kardashian is wearing! Who wouldnt want to jazz up a simple pony-tail and have some fun with their look.

Fall 2011 Fashion and Beauty direct from luxury retailer Neiman Marcus!

It’s time to start thinking about fall fashion and beauty! I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek of what Neiman Marcus has coming this Fall 2011 season. It’s never too early to get ready wardrobe-wise and beauty-routine wise. The afternoon was nothing short of amazing as we were served a delicious lunch, given a preview of the fabulous products and cosmetics that will grace our makeup bags really soon! So what’s in for fall? Well, here’s what Neiman Marcus had to say — there are some fabulous trends coming your way!

If you love your evening glass of wine, you’ll love the rich reds and bordeaux tones coming into style. Wearing a matching lip and nail color in a sultry red is a hot look that every fashionista will be rocking. Jewel tones are also big with the return of royal blue and deep purples. Color blocking will be a trend that will add a little punch to a neutral outfit. Fur and a little sparkle will add a little ‘pop’ to your ensemble and a stunning dark clutch purse will finish off your look & leave you ready to take the fall on in total style. But, a true fashionista is never fully dressed without her makeup. Forget the days where your makeup feels like a mask – these lines of beauty products and cosmetics will leave you feeling stunning from the inside out. Using health conscience products never looked and felt so good.

Chantecaille has created a line of cosmetics based with rose water including healing properties that revitalize and rejuvenates while it makes you look toned and hydrated. Their new ‘Classic Palette’ captures the polish and elegance of a timeless glamour with a set of eyeshadows that are rich yet subtle. For those of you who long for luscious lashes, try their Faux Cils longest lash mascara that helps your lashes grow to be naturally long and full as when you use the mascara. Finally top it off with a brilliant gloss that hydrates and enriches your lips without the stickiness. This fall take a trip to the healing mineral baths of Budapest with products by Omorovicza. Their new instant plumping cream will deeply nourish the skin helping fine lines, leaving the skin smooth and hydrated. Then top that with the healing powers of gold in a body shimmer mist that with leave you feeling like a queen. La Metier De Beaute introduces the matching lip stick and nail polish within a fabulous line of cosmetics. Most exciting is their new Peau Vierge anti-aging treatment skincare. With the exclusive delivery system, Le Metier teamed up with scientists to develop a line of that allows nutrients to be delivered to the skin more effectively than any other product, fading lines and spots to immediately look more even and smooth.

Finally, as summer winds down and the leaves start to fall, Fresh has continued their line of brown sugar based products to help melt away the cares of the day and revitalize our skin with the healing properties of brown sugar. My favorite is the Brown Sugar Body Polish that feels so amazing after a long day at work. The oils in the polish last long on your skin, leaving you feeling silky smooth. They’ve also developed a Honey Tinted lip treatment inspired by the golden honey’s of Australia. For a more casual look paired with hydration try this tinted treatment in place of your lipstick.

Hurry into Neiman Marcus and try some of these exclusive products that will heal and beautify you as we move into the upcoming Fall 2011 season.
