Korean Face Masks

Korean face masks are all the rage right now.  I had been reading so much about these various sheet masks and how great they are for your skin.  My instagram friend @thingseyelove2013  sent me a bunch of masks and I have been loving them.  I actually just finished using a “soothing” mask. The craze is getting so huge that Barneys just installed a Mask Bar featuring 30 different types of Korean face masks.  I thought you might want to try some of these masks at home.  The most authentic ones come directly from Korea so if you cannot get to there this week!! or the Barney’s Mask Bar, I’ve got you covered.  Amazon is selling some of the best authentic Korean masks.  I absolutely love THESE and THESE and I just ordered THESE.  Happy Masking!!!!

Warby Parker Spring 2017

As the North East is getting pummeled with Nor’Easter Stella..on a happier, warmer thinking note……Today is the launch of the Spring 2017 collection of Warby Parker sunglasses. There’s so much to look forward to with this upcoming season. Spring means all things new. New silhouettes. New acetates. New classics. These are glasses to get you out of bed in the morning for sure.


You know the kind– the big, shiny sunglasses that will never go out of style. They are universally flattering, yet also mysterious. If you wear them in an airport, after a long flight, someone might ask you for your autograph!!!!

With these newest releases, Warby Parker has given a bevy of feminine acetate frames all the saturated color they deserve, with big tortoise shades and violet-tinted lenses. Other styles in the collection have gotten the same bigger-is-better treatment. They’ve  punched up their flat-brow sunglasses for a retro 1970s look, and given some of them the layered treatment for additional panache.

Warby Parker has a variety of new frames for you that will make anyone feel fresh and revived, just like Spring flowers.  I have highlighted some of the newer styles below.  To “try on at home’ or for more information, click HERE.

Weekend Real Estate Stalking

Ok..so I know where I want to go for my next vacation….”The Doll House” on Harbour Island in the Bahamas.  This absolutely incredible 200 year old landmark house is one of the most photographed homes in the Bahamas.  It has been painstakingly restored and decorated in a colorful Island motif by a dear friend of mine from my Tiffany days.  This charming cottage is located directly on the stunning bay of Harbor Island.  Lucky for us it is available for vacation rental.  Woo Hoo.  For more information please contact Dunmore Realty.

Fashionable Friend Friday

I am so excited about this week’s Fashionable Friend Friday choice!  It is the incredible Joan Juliet Buck, former Editor of French Vogue, ooh la la!!!  I was lucky enough to be able to interview Joan, today,  for my show. You can listen to the replay HERE.  From the time that I spent speaking with her, I learned that Joan is such an accomplished woman.  She is a writer, storyteller, sometimes actress and so much more.  We discussed her memoir, her time with Vogue Paris, as Editor in Chief, and things she loves (and hates!!) in fashion.  I have to say it has been one of my most favorite interviews.  Joan is a fashion treasure and I am so fortunate to be able to introduce her to you!!!  You MUST read her incredible memoir, The Price of Illusion…for more information or to purchase click HERE.

Face In A Case

I recently saw a woman carrying around a small chic clutch that actually is a makeup palette.  I was so impressed.  The Face In A Case is a magnetic makeup organizer which doubles as a stylish clutch. On one side are the vegan, cruelty free, paraban free cosmetics and the other side holds your credit cards and money.  Your phone even fits too.  It is the perfect accessory for all of us busy women on the go.  I have mine in my purse and take it with me everywhere!!!! I love having all my  makeup so neatly organized.  First you choose your case (I have leopard, of course) and then you choose your makeup palette, Plum or Nude.  For reference, they are very similar to the popular “Naked” palettes.  The founder of this amazing product is Gail Sagel, an ex wall-streeter turned makeup guru devoted to creating “innovative products that make women’s lives better”.  Gail was so generous to give NS Lifestyles readers a discount on their own Face In A Case with the code Nicole10.  I think its time to Make Up!!!!!!!!!


We want to thank Gail and Faces Beautiful for giving us a complimentary Face in a Case in exchange for this review.  As always, the thoughts and opinions above are completely my own.
