AERIN falls for leopard

I couldn't love leopard print any more at the moment, and I'm so psyched to see that AERIN has a line of amazing leopard accessories!

Whilst a little out of my current budget, this leather and leopard pony handle bag is on point.

These leopard print flats keep appearing in my dreams.

See more of my leopard loves in this post! 

AERIN Embroidered Suede Collection

This was quite possibly the chicest email that landed in my inbox this week - and I can't stop thinking about these gorgeous flats! AERIN's new Embroidered Suede collection features this fantastic suede ballet pumps with embroidered floral motif and a great grosgrain ankle strap. Hand made in Italy, the quality and finish is second to none.

And it doesn't end there! The embroidered suede boot is also terribly chic, and would look great with a pair of skinny jeans and a cute dress alike.

Happy Weekend!

Happy weekend everybody! I hope your week has been as productive and interesting as mine!

Nose to the grindstone with lots of hard work! Here's what I've been reading through the long nights and between meetings!

AERIN Beauty and Neue Galarie Collaboration

In honor of the opening of "Gustav Klimt and Adele Bloch-Bauer: The Woman in Gold" on Thursday, April 2, 2015, the Neue Galerie Design Shop has partnered with AERIN to unveil an exclusive AERIN Rose Balm Lipstick Set.

Developed by Neue Galerie New York Director Renée Price, in collaboration with
AERIN Creative Director and Founder Aerin Lauder, the exclusive set is inspired by Gustav Klimt, an artist who defined the allure of fin-de-siècle Vienna with his seductive portraits of society women, in particular his sensuous portrait Adele Bloch-Bauer I from 1907. The painting, which was acquired by the Neue Galerie in 2006, is the centerpiece of the museum collection, as well as the subject of a compelling new historical drama, "Woman in Gold," starring Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds.

The exclusive AERIN Rose Balm Lipstick Set will feature two AERIN Rose Balm Lipsticks that complement the portrait. Liebling, a top-selling AERIN shade, evokes the warm blush tones in Adele’s lips and cheeks, and Sequin, a Neue Galerie exclusive, glows with a golden shimmer that captures the radiance of the painting.

AERIN Rose Balm Lipstick shades feature a luxe texture, medium coverage, and a shine finish. The lipsticks are each packaged in golden rectangular cases with a black pouch inside a custom box decorated with the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer. The exclusive AERIN Rose Balm Lipstick Set is available for a limited time through the Neue Galerie Design Shop for $64.

AERIN launches new Rose de Grasse fragrance

I love the fragrances available from AERIN and am really excited by the announcement of the new Rose de Grasse perfume.

Rose de Grasse is the first perfum of the Premier Collection and is a modern interpretation of AERIN's signature flower, the rose. Three roses- Rose Centifolia, Rose Otto Bulgarian and Rose Absolute are blended together, and finished with the softness of Violet Wood, Ambrox and Musk.

The striking bottle is in a white satin, porcelain like design decorated with braided gold ribbon and a golden plaque. The display box features an embossed AERIN for Lee Jofa Noyak print which is equally as chic.

Rose de Grasse will be available at select retailers and online from later this month and retails for $185 for 50ml.

If you're like me, the chances are you love to try new beauty products. Step in AERIN- my new favourite! AERIN is the brainchild of Aerin Lauder, the granddaughter of the legendary Estee Lauder.  It's a global lifestyle brand inspired by the signature style of its founder, and includes footwear, clothing and items for the home. ( You may remember I wrote about Aerin's Beauty at Home publication a few months ago- it's an amazing book! )

In the beauty range I swear by the Rose Lip Conditioner. It contains intensive skin conditioners and a soft rose scent. I use it overnight to make sure my lips are perfect for the new day! Another great product is the Fresh Skin Compact Foundation which doubles as a concealer, providing seamless coverage.

On a recent trip I picked up a pot of the newly released Rose Balm. Crafted with an extract from over 350 rose petals, the pure-flower based balm soothes and deeply moisturises. It can be used on hands and cuticles, the face, eyes and lips. It is truly multi-functional! I was also given a sample of the hand and body cream- it smells divine!

International Women's Day 2014

International Women's Day

International Women's Day seems to creep round really fast each year! This year I'm going to be speaking about my new project, Women In Web to an audience in South Wales. It's super exciting and a little nerve wracking at the same time!

I'm inspired by women who take risks and those make a real difference in society. Regular readers will know that I'm inspired by Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, but I'm also inspired by Dayle Haddon for founding a life-changing non-profit called Women One, and Aerin Lauder for creating a lifestyle brand that has various price points so women from all backgrounds can experience a part of her lifestyle. Each of these remarkable women have inspired me in different areas of my life, and I have been fortunate to meet two on this list. As I look at new ventures in my life, including setting up my own business I use these women as examples on how to improve and how to reach for the stars!

Who are your inspirations and how have they impacted upon your life?

Aerin Lauder's Beauty at Home

AERIN

I'm a big fan of Aerin Lauder and was delighted when I received a copy of her new book, 'Beauty at Home', for Christmas.

If you've read the many articles about Lauder, her business, family and lifestyle in publications such as Architectural Digest and Elle Decor, you'll be aware of how inspirational she is. And for a prepster like myself, the spaces she occupies are pure heaven!

In the publication we are treated to a highly personal tour of her residence in Manhattan, as well as her gorgeous Madison Avenue office and East Hampton home. Each room is more gorgeous than the last, and Aerin provides handy tips such as to setting a sophisticated table to creatively preserving memories.

This is one book that you simply must buy- you'll fall in love immediately.

Click here for a look at Aerin's spaces, and follow and be inspired on Pinterest.
