Teen Vogue x Neutrogena Launch Event
Experience the power of light!
Last night I had the opportunity to attend the Teen Vogue x Neutrogena event at the New Museum in NYC. Being chosen as one of Teen Vogue's "IT Girls" has it's perks and I couldn't be any more grateful! Aside from having the chance to meet other amazing bloggers, models, publicists, etc., I also was able to test out Neutrogena's Light Therapy Acne Mask and take one home before it hits the shelves.
About the mask:
- Use daily for 10 minutes. Bad at keeping time? No worries, the mask will turn off itself!
- Comes with an activator that includes 30 daily treatments (must replace after your 30 sessions)
- Has a built in eye shield so you can watch Netflix, your favorite YouTube videos, or even read a book during your treatment.
- The therapeutic blue and red lights target acne-causing bacteria to help reduce the appearance of breakouts.
- Last but not least, the cute pink light looks BOMB in pictures. Get your snaps and instagram photos ready!
Ready to try it yourself? Check out the link here to sign up and be one of the first to be notified when the masks are available in stores and online.

Mathieu Mirano F/W 2016 Collection
It's a fashion lover's favorite time of the year, day one of NYFW has officially begun!
Today I had the opportunity to attend Mathieu Mirano's F/W 16 presentation at Pier 59 Studios. Inspired by his past trips to Egypt, Mathieu brought a taste of the desert with his latest collection to windy ol' NYC.
As soon as I walked into the room, I was immediately in awe. From the bold colors and eye-catching metallics used in his gowns to the sand and live tortoises walking around the models, I feel like his overall presentation was beautifully executed.
My favorite design from this collection:

Here's a quick little OOTD post I put together using my favorite gold and black bustier/crop top. Enjoy!
