Beauty File: New Essie Polishes

The Emmy's were a couple of weeks ago, and there was a lot of focus on the fashions that graced the red carpet.  I love award show fashion!  I really like the photographs that capture the details of each outfit; shoes, clutches, hair adornments, jeweled necklaces...and the rings and manicures, too!

The E! Network has the "Mani Cam" where each celeb can "walk" her fingers down the little miniature red carpet, showing off her manicure and baubles.  I think it's a really cute idea and it gives us at home a chance to really look at what the manicures look like on these celebrities.

Essie sent over a couple of polishes that were used on actresses for this year's Emmy Awards!

Check out the polishes and what actresses wore them below (all photos mine, unless otherwise stated):

Lacoste 80th Miami: Addict, Miami (Bal Harbour) #Lacoste80th featuring Romero Britto and Best Buddies International

I had the pleasure of being invited by Lacoste to help host the brand's 80th birthday bash in Miami, at Addict, in the Bal Harbour shopping mall.
I was thrilled to be a part of something like this; Lacoste is a brand that has demonstrated true longevity in the business, while maintaining the brand's integrity throughout the many years it's been around (eighty, to be exact).

I took the opportunity to wear my Lacoste black ankle boots (the style is the Rosemont Chelsea)...and great minds think alike, because fellow bloggers Ginger, Ria, Erika and Carmen were all sporting the same ones :)

Fashion 4 A Cause: Raising Funds for the Fight Against Breast Cancer Featuring Peace Love World + Bloomingdales shot by Alexander Tamargo @ALTAimages

Hi everyone!
I've partnered up with the girls in Miami, once again to help raise funds for the fight against breast cancer.  Fashion 4 A Cause is back!   Last year, we styled these cute shirts and raised a lot of money.  This year, we took it a step further and partnered with local Bloomingdales' and Peace Love World in a photoshoot shot at the Sagamore Hotel by photographer Alexander Tamargo.


Peace Love World, (a company that originated in Miami), is donating a portion of the proceeds from the clothing and accessories that we styled for the shoot to the fight against breast cancer.

Local Bloomingdale's (Aventura and The Falls) have also teamed up with us, and will be displaying our photographs in their stores!

Over 30 of us Miami fashion and beauty bloggers joined forces for this wonderful cause.  I styled a t-shirt, bandanna and bracelet.  My awesome high bun is courtesy of the ladies at So Blo.

Thanks to Alex for the shots!

Check out my photos below.
