Sephora Friends & Family 2011

Every year I wait until this time of year to stock up on my beauty products at 20% off.  Sephora Friends and Family is back and if you have not been so fortunate to get a code from a store associate fear not.  You can get your very own code online at SephoraLove.com/FriendsandFamily.  So what will you be picking up?  Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, Make Up Forever Fluo Night Pigment and Nails Inc Magnetic Nail Polish is on my list.

Special thanks to my girl TC for the tip.

NY Sample Sale Report: Michael Angel

For weeks, I've been anticipating Michael Angel's friends and family sale as it's one of my favorite lines, but usually out of my price range. I stopped by the sale yesterday, but since I didn't have much time, I only had a chance to take a quick peak.

The sale runs through the weekend, so I'm definitely going to try to stop by again. I would recommend this sale to anyone willing to spend $100-$200+ on a futuristic statement piece.
You all know how much I love prints, especially digital prints! As expected, the Michael Angel showroom was full of beautiful eye candy. As I browsed through the prints, I thought of bloggers like Style Bubble and Six Six Sick. The sale featured a good selection of dresses and separates like tanks, vests, skirts and of course, signature leggings from spring 2010 and fall 2010.
I had my heart set on finding a Michael Angel print dress - body con or super structured. But now I think I might consider this color block dress. I only had enough time to try on a vest and jacket. I didn't check out the sizing, but I'm usually a size 2-4 and those pieces fit me nicely.
And while the highlights for me were definitely the prints, there was also a rack of beautiful, soft neutrals.

Prices at the sale were deeply discounted like 70%+ off, but not cheap. There were a few $30 basics, but why would you get a basic tank at Michael Angel when you could get a $70 printed tank? As I mentioned, I think it would be best to come to this sale prepared to spend at least $100-$200.
That said, there was a pretty good deal on shoes. They have tons of Aldo oxfords for only $40 and higher quality heels like Manolo Blahnik for $300. Again, I was in a hurry so I didn't get a good look at sizing, but I'm a size 7 and everything looked a bit bigger to me.
The staff at the sale were super friendly and helpful. They had lots of great styling tips!

Update: Just got word that there will an additional 30% off already reduced prices!

These are really the perfect wedge. They're basic and would great with just about everything and could be worn into fall with tights. The wider straps, wedge and zipper heel gives these wedges a modern touch.
