Jonathan Adler at Barneys New York
I’m a frequent visitor at Barneys New York at the Fashion Square Mall here in Scottsdale Arizona. Barneys has just opened in Scottsdale last summer. Being away from fashion capitals like New York City, Paris and London Barneys makes being ‘fashion home sick’ a lot easier. I had reservations at Fred’s at Barneys New York which is in Barneys for dinner. Did you know about it? Food is SO good. The bread olive oil and Parmesan cheese appetizer was very delicious and well done. When restaurants do simple dishes to perfection you know you are off to a good start. It’s an indication to a promising rest of the menu. Right before entering the restaurant I stumbled upon these by Jonathan Adler (see image below). I thought to share because these pieces are quite eclectic. Not for everyone naturally! LOL The black and white stripes remind me of the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles entrance ceiling. It has that old fashion classic look to it. Barneys New York, you never know what you will find. 🙂

Padma Lakshmi Partners with Dial NutriSkin Body Wash for Charity
Padma Lakshmi, model, award winning cookbook author and Emmy nominated host of the popular Bravo TV series Top Chef, is joining forces with Henkel Consumer Goods, Inc. to help women look and feel their best. Their partnership marks the launch of Dial NutriSkin, a new line of ultra-hydrating body washes packed with light and refreshing fruit oils. Recognizing that beauty is more than outward appearance, Padma has collaborated with Dial to encourage women to develop inner beauty by giving back to charity.
“As a model, I understand the importance of looking good on camera, which is why I indulge in healthy beauty treats with nourishing ingredients such as Dial NutriSkin Body Wash,” says Padma. “However, I realize that beauty is not skin deep and that giving back is what truly makes me feel beautiful. This is why I am working with Dial to raise money for my charity—an organization that supports women affected by endometriosis.”
Beginning today, log on to DialSoap.com and Dial will donate $1 to a nonprofit organization Padma helped to found—The Endometriosis Foundation of America. This charity aims to fund medical research for endometriosis and educate women suffering from the condition, which Lakshmi herself has struggled with for years.

St. Ives Q&A with Dr. Marsha Gordon
Expert Skincare Tips: St. Ives Q&A with Dr. Marsha Gordon
As the weather gets warmer, my breakouts and irritation become worse. To keep my skin acne-free all year round, should I be adjusting my regimen as the seasons change?
While many women need to adjust their skin care regimen as the seasons change, this can be especially true for women with acne-prone or oily skin. Your regimen that worked in the winter may leave skin feeling oily and clogged during the warmer months. In the spring, I recommend switching to a light, oil-free moisturizer and using a cleanser and scrub to help remove dead skin cells and keep pores clear. I personally like the new St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Cleanser and Scrub (image above), which contain a safe concentration of Salicylic Acid to effectively fight blemishes and reduce redness, while 100% natural Green Tea soothes skin.
