ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Beauty Bar
Part of the fun about Emmys is all the pampering that goes on beforehand. I’m spending most of the weekend in San Diego. But before I headed down, I did a little indulging at Byron & Tracey Salon’s Beauty Bar. A couple of weeks ago I tried adding an auburn tint to my hair. I haven’t been crazy about it. So Dani fixed it by doing a caramel wash and natural looking balayage highlights. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out. I guess I’m just not meant to be a readhead.

After getting a blowout with Tomas again, I ran into Charlotte Ronson, who was there promoting her I Heart Ronson for JC Penney line. She complimented my dress. I told her about Shareen Vintage, where I bought the start print piece. And then we chatted quickly about fashion week. I love how the designer makes her show a family affair by always having a big dinner with her parents and siblings. I can’t wait to see her collection on the runway in New York!

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Livening Up Gray
I’ve mentioned before how important it is for a pencil skirt to have a little stretch to it. This one does not. But I love it so much I continue to wear it, despite the fact that sitting down and walking on any stairs is quite difficult. Since my bottom was so restricting, I kept it looser on top by unbuttoning my shirt and layering a cami that matched the skirt underneath. A turquoise necklace added a pop of color. And since I was feeling particularly festive today, I even added another color on my hands. While I prefer yellow with turquoise, the orange brought me be back to my childhood watching the Miami Dolphins at Joe Robbie Stadium.

ttF Giveaway: L’Occitane Natural Beauty Products

Whenever I’m sunburned I always slather on L’Occitane’s After-Sun Balm Lotion ($24). The formula, which is made in Brazil with organic vegetable butter of Cupuaçu, is less greasy than aloe and smells delicious. It’s prevented me from peeling almost every time I come back from a beach vacation.

And it’s only one of L’Occitane’s many wonderful natural beauty products. I’m also a huge fan of their Organic Lavender Body Lotion ($24). I have a travel size I keep in my carry-on bag.

Now those are just a couple of my faves. The socially responsible company has a large variety of fragrances, skincare, lotions and gels and more. And they’re offering ThinkThruFashion readers the chance to try out some of their products for free!

One lucky winner will be able to pick up to $75 worth of products from the L’Occitane site. Pretty sweet deal, right? All you need to do to enter is fill out the form below (please note, you must be located within the continental US). The winner will be announced they day before New York Fashion Week on September  8th. Good luck!

ttF Fashion Diary: Jalepeño Happy Hour

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Jalepeño Happy Hour
For my mom’s last night we met my friends Michael and Jess at happy hour at Boracho. The Mexican restaurant used to have happy hour till 7, but it’s sadly only till 6. It’s probably best, considering if I had any more jalepeno margaritas I might have fallen in my 5.8-inch heels.

I still can’t get over how comfortable the shoes are. I wore them for nearly 12 hours, walked up and down and a large hill and I wasn’t in unbearable pain when I got home. Jessica Simpson may get crap about her fashion choices sometimes but the girl sure knows how to design shoes!

I turned my dress into a top today by layering it under a skirt American Apparel sent me. Tribal necklaces made the metallic stripes of the dress work with the wood platforms.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Fashion and Fare
When you wear neon, you’re going to get noticed. And when the neon is as stylish as these Manolos my friend me got for my birthday, getting noticed is a good thing.

Today, Jen and I decided to get lunch at the World Fare bustaurant (it’s one of my fave food trucks). As we ordered a burger and truffle mac and cheese balls I heard a man compliment my shoes in a South African accent. It was the owner, Travis. Since he liked my shoes and Jen’s glasses, we each got a red velvet cheesecake bunny on the house. It totally beat Sprinkles.

ttF Fashion Diary: Kicking Off Emmys with Audi & Chopard

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Kicking Off Emmys with Audi & Chopard
Audi always throws the best parties during awards season. Instead of celebrating night of, they usually kick off the week with a star-studded bash. For Golden Globes, they showcased vintage fashion and for Oscars, they teamed up with Marchesa. Tonight, they joined forces with Chopard and I literally almost died over some of the jewels showcased at the event.

I brought my mom as my date. Doesn’t she look stunning in her asymmetrical LBD? As for me, I was able to squeeze into the white dress I originally planned to wear to the ThinkThruFashion Accessory Swap Soiree. I couldn’t really breathe in the dress, or munch on the yummy apps being passed around at Cecconi’s. But it was worth it. I felt confident and got a bunch of compliments, including one from True Blood’s Ashley Jones, who was a total doll.

Also at the bash? Co-host Jane Lynch, the gorgeous Jessica Lowndes, Cheryl Hines (who also opted for white), Karina Smirnoff, Kathy Griffin, the breathtaking Sara Ramirez and a ton of Modern Family and Glee stars.
