Mid-Week Obsession! Gianfranco Scotti - Classic Single-Button Blazer

Style Notes | It really goes without saying that a tailored blazer is a staple wardrobe item. Blazers are classic — and a super cool transitional piece. Don't believe me? Just browse editors' picks via various fashion mags and you'll see. Case in point: According to InStyle, a black blazer is among 10 Things Every Woman Should Own. 

I wholeheartedly agree with InStyle. But per my personal shopping experience, affordable (chic) blazers are hard to find. Yep. Example: The featured Single-Button Blazer by Gianfranco Scotti is pretty sharp—isn't it? And y'all probably would love to own one—wouldn't you? Go ahead and knock yourselves out; it's $1,495.00.

P.S. I'm on the hunt for stylish blazers that are affordable! Check back soon.

Beauty Notes | Elle gave its readers the lowdown on superstar Nicki Minaj's beauty secrets, as well as her favorite products. And because I am such a huge Nicki fan (*ahem* Trinidad, please stand up!) — I had to put the spotlight on this fun-filled girlie interview. 


See it now! The World Premiere of 'Stupid Hoe'

Interview Excerpt:

What’s the most high-maintenance part of your beauty routine? 

My eyes, because they’re the one thing I need my makeup artist to do. I don’t have the patience, my hands shake, and I mess everything up. So my makeup artist has to do my brows and lids and lashes. Everyone knows I’m a lash girl by now. When I don’t have my lashes, I feel naked. 

Are they extensions or strips? 

Today I’m wearing strips. I used to wear the individual lashes, but those became so time-consuming. We needed to figure out an easier way, so my makeup artist has been experimenting with cutting lash strips in half and piling them on top of each other. 

What’s the best tip a makeup artist has taught you? 

I contour by using a lighter shade of foundation under my eyes instead of concealer. I take it down in a triangle by the sides of my nose, and then apply blush on top. I don’t do round, rosy cheeks; that’s for old people. It’s played out. I like the color to be like a diagonal line across the cheekbone up to the temples. It really changes the shape of my face. 

What’s always in your makeup bag? 

I can’t see myself without pink lipstick. I can go without it for a couple days, but if there was no more pink lipstick in the world, I’d be useless. Seriously. And a good white pencil for under the eye, just inside the rim. It helps you look like you’re on. [Source]

Below is the re-cap. (Kate Beckinsale did not make [their] Best-Dressed list. Ugh! But she made mine.)

No. 2 - Emma Stone

No. 1 - Lea Michele 
(Nikki says, "Tragic.")

No. 2 - Elle MacPherson 
(Nikki says, "Not too bad.")

No. 3 - Sarah Michelle Gellar

yet not exactly a 'Golden Globes' gown.")

Letter To the Editor. 

SELF Tweeted — wanting me to share my opinion of who was rockin' the hottest bod.

Kate Beckinsale, all the way! Kate definitely rocked the hottest bod on yesterday's Red Carpet — looking like a million bucks in Cavalli. The cream-colored gown accentuates every curve on that woman's body. Needless to say, Kate looks physically fit all of the time. Perhaps it's movie roles such as Underworld that keeps the 38-year-old actress lean and in-shape? Not quite. Kate has more ways to stay fit.

Kate Beckinsale's Five (5) Favorite Ways to Stay Fit 

1. She works out with trainer Valerie Waters. Because sometimes it takes someone else to push you that little extra bit, Beckinsale works out with celebrity personal trainer Valerie Waters to really get results. 

2. Cycling. Fitness is truly a family affair for Beckinsale, who loves to burn calories and get fresh air by bike-riding with her daughter. 

3. Walking. Whether it's hiking the hills of L.A. or walking her pup on the set of a movie, Beckinsale squeezes activity whenever she can — even if she's rocking a pair of heels! 

4. Yoga. Beckinsale stays long, lean and flexible for movie roles of all types by doing yoga regularly. 

5. Circuit training. To keep her muscles strong and toned for action roles, Beckinsale likes to do circuit training where she goes from one weight-lifting exercise to the next without rest between. These types of workouts build strength and burn big-time calories! [Source]
