Brunch at Cafeteria in NYC

Saturday Brunch in NYC with my girls, Juliette and Cara, at Cafeteria in Chelsea. The food was delish and my cocktails were yummy. The place was jammed packed and we only waited a half hour, so no complaints there. I highly recommend Cafeteria...all around, a great experience.

Start by serving exceptional American comfort food with a contemporary twist. Create an electric, modern, yet intimate ambiance where people can meet and gather in the heart of Chelsea. And the best part? Keep it all running 24 hours a day.

In the 13 years since Cafeteria doors first opened, this delicious brainchild of three New York City entrepreneurs

has become a full-fledged phenomenon. From weekend brunches to late night noshing with inimitable style,

Cafeteria is your only destination.

Simple.

M·A·C Vera Spring 2012

M.A.C. collaborated with The Vera Company, which carries on the work of the late artist, Vera Neumann an American artist and entrepreneur best known for her boldly colored linen patterns and scarves signed "Vera" and featuring a ladybug, to create a refreshing Spring 2012 collection. M.A.C. Vera will be available for a limited time at M.A.C Cosmetics counters and online beginning on February 16, 2012 (North America) and March 2012 (International). 

I'm really feeling all the shades of the Plushglass and the Crushed Metallic Pigments. 

Brilliant butterflies, flashy florals and gorgeously geometric graphics…A colourful collaboration between M·A·C and the artist known worldwide as Vera, who merged fine arts with linens, murals, textiles and silk scarves in her punchy, painted patterns. Now in shades plucked straight from her most lavish prints, M·A·C Vera embraces the luxe, lighter-than-air spirit that delivers the kind of startling, look-at-me statement that defines what it means to be an instant classic.

Carnival Makeup Ideas 2012

Carnival makeup ideas... if you're still looking for inspiration like I am. No face jewels for me this year, well that's what I'm saying now and that is liable to change lol. In my head, my heroin did not have face jewels, she had eyes and or lips that popped. So, I'm thinking I want to be adventurous with colors while keeping it pretty. My headpiece and mask has a lot going on and I have no plans on looking like a hero gone wrong...lol

9 Mile Music Festival

This line up looks pretty good and it's for a good cause.

The 9 Mile Music Festival began as a labor of love, Pioneered by, Cedella Marley Booker. Over the years the festival has had other names including “The Caribbean Music Festival” finally evolving into what is known as the 9 Mile Music Festival today. This reggae music event is more than just your average “concert”, it has a commitment to doing good and spreading love. The 9 Mile Music Festival is responsible for collecting over two (2) million canned goods over its 18 year span, in an effort to continuously give back to its community. Four canned goods are required for entry, along with a purchased admission; the canned goods collected are then distributed to shelters in Miami & Jamaica.
