Ojon's New Damage Reverse Line

Ojon's new and improved Damage Reverse line (launched this Spring) works to restructure the strand to instantly help mend, strengthen and restore body, bounce and shine to even the most damaged hair. Formulated with Ojon's signature Ojon™ oil (also know as "nature's golden elixir"), is found only in Central America, harvested and extracted by hand from the nuts of the fragrant Ojon tree, used for centuries to restore perfect health and vitality to "hair broken by the blazing sun".

Damage Reverse Restorative Shampoo  - Our luxurious golden gel fortified with nature's golden elixir, Wheat Protein and creamy coconut derived cleansers transforms into a rich lather that actually begins to help repair damaged hair in the shower.
Damage Reverse Restorative Conditioner - This lush, concentrated daily conditioning balm doesn't just sit on the surface. It actually surrounds dry, brittle hair with nourishing lipids including pure Ojon™ oil, nature's golden elixir, Brazilian Buriti Oil and Murumuru Butter.

Ojon Damage Reverse Shampoo and Conditioner is available at Ojon.com, and select Sephora stores.

Now besides all the technical information that the company would like you to know, I actually tried this fantastic shampoo and conditioner on Saturday. Seriously, I did. I had gone to Sephora on Thursday to grab a gift for my very dear friends birthday and because my second home is Sephora, I had enough points for a free gift and this is what they gave me, two full size bottles of product and they told me a little about what it did. I was more than excited to try. After years of frying and dying my hair, pulling it up and ironing it down, it craves thick luxurious products that coat the hair shaft and add intense moisture, the delicious scent doesn't hurt either! I took it with me to the salon on saturday evening, and when I was done, my hair was soft, bouncy shiny and only slightly frizzy. Trust me thats a colossal accomplishment,   I have Claire Huxtable from the Cosby Show, hair and as soon as I leave the salon, its airborne! I love the results I had after using Ojon and will absolutely continue to use the treatment in the future.

I've been on the hunt for a really cool and unique name chain. Originally I like most women, wanted the infamous "Carrie" from Sex in the City necklace. 

As I finally received one as a birthday gift a few years back, it too was lost. In remembrance of boyfriends past, Aleksander Petrovsky, (Mikhail Barishnikov), who told "Carrie" that if she can't have her Carrie necklace then the least he can do is give a "necklace for Carrie. Here is my new pick;

Having a Hebrew name, it seemed fitting that my next name plate excursion would be one inspired by the far East. So in the hunt I go for the most fantastic Arabic name plate, wish me luck!

Hosted by Annabell Tolman and taking place at Scoop NYC in the meatpacking district location.  Having been in the business for over 20 years, as fashion director of everything from Allure, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar and most recently, US Weekly as you would imagine you pick up a few friends along the way. Spotted at the event, Joe Zee, June Ambrose, Kelly Bensimon +Teddy, Gina Kelly, Ross Gottlieb, Lindsey Belle, Kenneth & Karen Klingsberg.

Im such a dweeb for this, but this is our moment *tilts head, sighs, smiles*

McQueen of the Night

Bittersweet indeed, the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala honoring the late Alexander McQueen and unveiling of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, an exhibition devoted to the British designer, brought out the who's who in fashion, design and Hollywood. 

Having to be complete honest, I do feel there was a lack of McQueen designs featured on the stars at an event to honor him, and even some inappropriate choices. However,

adorned in everything from feathers to tulle, beading and silks, signature billowy dresses cut in hourglass silhouettes here were the McQueen looks at this years Gala that did the designer justice and embodied his unforgettable immense talent and created a picture perfect image of Savage Beauty ;

Tom Brady with Gisele Bündchen, in Alexander McQueen

Anna Dello Russo, in Alexander McQueen 

Liu Wen, in Alexander McQueen; John Demsey; and Constance Jablonski, in Alexander McQueen. 

Hilary Rhoda, in Alexander McQueen 

Coco Rocha, in Alexander McQueen

Some of my most favorite looks of the evening, outside of the McQueen designs, were worn by Christina Ricci, Jennifer Lopez, and Crystal Renn.

Christina Ricci, in Zac Posen, with Fred Leighton jewels. 

Jennifer Lopez, in Gucci, with H.Stern jewels. 

Crystal Renn, in Zac Posen, with a Jimmy Choo clutch. 

I would have guessed this was an event honoring Stella McCartney, considering the number of stars in the designers creation but I think this was the most of any years past and it really made you appreciate the designers versatility and talent incase you lived under a rock and hadn't noticed before. 

The Fred Leighton showroom must have also been completely bare having bedazzled, most honorable guest this evening adding the right touch of sparkle to top off fabricated perfection. 

Here are some other amazing looks of the evening;

Anna Wintour, in Chanel Haute Couture, with Bee Shaffer, in Balenciaga
