Philly's Hottest :Babe on a Bike

Hey everyone! It's my birthday week and so things are about to get a little crazy. I'm going to try some new looks from the September 2010 issue of Vogue so stay tuned for pics! In the meantime, I have the video from my latest Preston and Steve's Philly's Hottest shoot: Babe on a Bike. Our videographer and editor Nick Murphy is outstanding and I love his work! We might be collaborating on a short film this Fall.

Fall is here and it's going to rock- so buckle your seat belts!

Fall Colors

Hey ladies! This one's for you. To act as a prelude to my big night in NYC for FNO- I'd like to introduce some of my favorite colors for this Fall. Summer is gone, sadly, but with Fall comes some bright, color concentrated shades that are great for any skin tone. Step aside bronze beauty and break out the color! Don't be scared to mix and match either- a lot of the smoky eyes out there are going with color opposites this season. Fun fun!

Celebrities like Jessica Alba and Kim Kardashian are rocking colorful nails and so should you! My favorite nail colors for the fall are "I Believe in UFO's" and "Glam Girl".

Want some fun, new eye color? The more color the better I say: Try the Eye Candy Creme Eyeshadows from Motives! By themselves or layered with powder shadows- these are definitely a beauty must have: Motives® Cosmetics by Loren Ridinger




And for lips...let's just say don't get shy now :) Try Magenta or Vamp to make a statement!

New and Exciting Things!

Well my goodness it has been awhile since I posted! So many exciting things are happening so let's share a few shall we? First off I had another Preston and Steve's Philly's Hottest Photo Shoot. This time it was Philly's Hottest Babe on a Bike. We shot at the Penthouse Club in Philadelphia and it was amazing! Chic decor and plush seating with great music and food. What more could you ask for?? They have an amazing lunch special that the Chef likes to call "8 for 8": 8 lunch entrees including french fries and a drink for only $8. Can't be that! This is not your average Gentlemen's Club. Pretty soon it could be the hottest place in Philly. I can see why!

Check out their site: http://thepenthouseclubphilly.net/ (I would do a bit of pre-gaming before going- it was $7.50 for an Amstel Light).

Stay tuned for the pics from the shoot!
