Daily Style: iPod Shuffle

Assuming I ever get my butt in gear and start making regular workouts a part of my day, I think this new iPod shuffle would be the perfect addition to my workout gear. I love that it clips onto anything, so you don’t need to worry about an armband constricting your bloodflow or the thing flying off a treadmill when you forget that it’s precariously perched in the water bottle holder.

Did I mention it’s super cute, holds up to 1,o00 of your favorite tunes and can play for up to 10 straight hours?

The 4G iPod Shuffle is the world’s smallest music player, and it TALKS (yes, it tells you what song is playing and who is performing it).  Available from Apple for $79.

CHANEL Soleil Tan De Chanel

Chanel Loose Bronzing Powder

This CHANEL Soleil Tan de Chanel loose powder bronzer is so gorgeous, I almost feel guilty using it!

This stuff is LOADED with super sparkly flecks of translucent bronze powder. On my first attempt, I was a bit overzealous with my application and realized I was more sparkly than bronze-y when I stepped outside. However, I figured out quickly that just the tiniest amount dusted on cheekbones, brow bones and other high points with the included brush imparts a gorgeous glow with a beautiful hint of bronze.

CHANEL Soleil Tan de Chanel bronzing loose powder is available online at Chanel.com.

Current Obsession: La Mer The Treatment Powder Foundation SPF 15

Thanks to my friend Annie at Blogdorf Goodman I met and fell in love with La Mer foundations a few years ago.

For full coverage foundation, nothing beats the luxurious, silky feel of La Mer fluid and creme foundations with light-capturing gemstones that seem to make imperfections disappear right before my eyes.

Now, there’s a new powder foundation joining the club and I’m in love.

The Treatment Powder Foundation SPF 15 has the same great coverage and light-capturing qualities its fluid and creme cousins, yet the no-fuss powder formula makes applying foundation twice as easy. I can whip out a fluffy brush and have flawless-looking skin in 8 seconds flat (I counted!). It’s available in eight shades.

The only downfall to this new favorite is the price ($95), but sometimes it’s worth it to splurge on an amazing product.

La Mer The Treatement Powder Foundation SPF 15 is available beginning this month (May 2009) at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and online at LaMer.com.

Daily Style: J. Crew Cotton Cady Lyndsey Dress

Nothing says style to me like a little black dress, and I think this is one of the prettiest ones I’ve ever laid eyes on! It’s part of J. Crew’s “weddings and parties” collection, but I’m pretty sure I’d wear it every day if I could. The silhouette is gorgeous and feminine, and the removable silk charmeuse sash lends a super special touch to this classic LBD.

The Cotton Cady Lyndsey Dress is available in a variety of colors for $225 from J. Crew.
