I had the absolute pleasure and honor of sitting down with Lubov Azria, wife of Max Azria, and Chief Creative Officer to the whole BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP of over 20 brands yesterday at Neiman Marcus in Boca Raton!  I was left in awe of Lubov; she was absolutely stunning for starters, so warm and personable, and such a profound speaker.  Everything she said to me I felt was a life lesson that I should and will treasure always.  You can just tell how passionate she is about life and simpRifkinlly radiates inner and outer beauty.  Plus, she had on a killer Herve Leger dress from the new collection matched with an even more killer leather jacket which never hurts.  Can we say girl crush? Here’s a glimpse of our chat…

How does it feel being so successful as a female business woman?

To me, success means doing what you love and I’m loving every minute of it.  I work with the most amazing team and we inspire each other every day and that’s what really matters.  I want to come to work, I want to be part of something bigger than I am. It’s been an incredible experience and I’m just so blessed!

How is it to work so closely with your husband?  I know I’d kill mine!  (And he would kill me as well of course.)

I think the biggest difference is my husband is 18 years older than I am and he is truly my mentor.  He is my everything.  He’s the vision and I’m very detail-oriented so I think we compliment each other well.  Plus it’s good that his office is waaay on the other side of the other building!  We sometimes meet for lunch, we’re kind of in a dating period at work!

What’s your favorite thing in your closet right now?

I can’t pick one!  If I had to leave everything behind and just take one item it would be the first dress that my daughter made me.  She went to sewing camp and made this green…thing.  And I have to say that the whole idea that she thought about me while she was doing it, makes it one thing I don’t think I could part with.  It’s important to own things that make you feel good, that bring back memories to you.

What are some tips for women who are trying to look chic, but while on a budget?

I think it’s a sense of style, it’s not about a price.  You can’t buy style.  It’s about understanding your body and what looks good on you. You have to find your own style and the best way to do that is by playing… The reason why some women don’t like to go shopping is because there’s an obligation to buy something, you don’t.  You have to just enjoy it, have fun, whether you’re on a budget or not, it’s really about celebrating yourself.

What’s the key to balancing your work, your marriage, and your children?

I think letting go of control. I think it’s very important not to think you can control everything and everything has to be your way.  It’s really about being present and enjoying everything that comes your way and making the best of it.  You have one life to live so celebrate it!

What is your personal go-to outfit?

I think anything that makes me feel beautiful.  With the team that we work with we don’t make anything unless we love it.  It’s putting something that you love on  and that makes you feel so amazing.  I like to dress for different moods and live up to those moods, but the go-to outfit is whatever gives you confidence.

If you could give my readers one fashion tip, what would it be?

Live your life to the fullest.  Fashion is there to help you dress up and play.  In life you don’t find yourself, you create yourself.  So create the best you can be.

Be sure to check out the latest collections from Herve Leger, BCBG Max Azria, BCBGeneration, and the rest of the BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP brands!  Here are a few of my personal faves!

I learned about this handy dandy site when I received an email from one of my very best friends, Steph, who is currently planning a wedding for next March.  It took me just a minute to fill out basic contact info for her: name, address, phone number, email, and even birthday and spouse’s info.  This saved her all of the trouble of contacting everyone individually for their address for her future invitations.

Here’s what you do: Postable gives you a link (postable.com/YourName), you send out the link to your friends and loved ones, and they add their info.  And that’s all there is to it!  Your Address Book magically fills with up-to-the-minute info!  You can even export and print it! It’s so simple and amazing it makes you kick yourself for not creating it.

I can’t wait  to create my own Address Book via Postable!

P.S. And a special happy birthday to Niki’s (from Papery and Cakery) twins, Raya + Mason!  These adorable kiddies are turning the big two today, which I’ll always remember as they almost made a cameo on the night of my wedding!

Here’s to a million more!

Continue reading »]]> I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!  It was so nice to have Jared home as he is now living in Tallahassee during the weekdays for the Legislative Session, and we were able to celebrate our second wedding anniversary!

So like many of my weekends, I made sure to squeeze in time at the makeup counter and pick up some new products as well as some restocks.  These included Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum, Buxom Full Bodied Lipstick in Nudist,  Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Golden Light, and C.O. Bigelow My Favorite Night Balm.

What products have you recently purchased?

Continue reading »]]> I know some states are getting rocked by snow right now, so I probably shouldn’t whine that it’s been in the low 50s here the past couple of mornings (especially since it warms up to the 70s by lunch), but I’m sure everyone shares one thing in common: our sweaters are probably looking like they’ve been through the ringer by now.  I don’t know about you, but it kills me to see fuzzballs all over my sweaters (even if they are just from Target), making them look like a 5 year old’s bathing suit bottom.

So want to know how to remove them and revive your winter wardrobe?  Here’s the trick: Try the Hollywood Fashion Secrets Sweater Saver, which is what I use and think is a miracle worker!  Or you can also test out a disposable razor or a pumice stone and stroke downwards and remove all the shedding fuzzies.

Stay fuzz-free!

I am so beyond excited for today’s post.  I’m here to tell you about an amazing jewelry line that features the cutest, sweetest, and funky pieces, and are made by love from my friend Caroline (AND it’s reasonable!).  Caroline and I are sorority sisters from college and what’s awesome about her line is how versatile it is and what a wide array of women it appeals to.  You see, Caroline and I have VERY different styles (any of our friends can attest to that, although we share the gift/curse of never shutting up!) and yet, she designs it, makes it, and I adore it!

Caroline began making jewelry after she and her husband got engaged. She loves boutique jewelry and wanted to buy some cute simple earrings for her bridesmaids. Realizing how expensive they all were, she decided that she could probably make them easily and started doing research on materials and techniques, reading everything she could about jewelry making and finally, painstakingly practiced and practiced and practiced some more! She realized her niche was beading and simplistic jewelry and since then she’s mastered many new techniques besides beading and continues to grow her line everyday!

The Roxanne Spike and Rhinestone Tribal Statement Necklace, available in multiple colors!

 Gold Plated Curved Tube Bead Necklace / The Block Letter Initial Necklace (You can even order multiple for your initials, love!)

Mint Stud Earrings (Available in Coral, Turquoise, Yellow, and Black as well!)

The line has been taking off and it’s great to see a bunch of our friends getting such beautiful pieces for bridesmaids, new moms, anyone, and everyone!  Best part is you can receive 20% off now through March 8th with promo code LLL20!  Stock up now!

Enjoy and have a great weekend!  And to all my Zetas out there, ZLAM!  (I had to…)
