Q. Have you picked up any great beauty tips or tricks that you can share?
Rachel Roy: I feel a great mascara can open the eye and instantly make you look as though you’ve have a good night’s sleep, even when that is not the case. I use 2-3 coats of Lancome’s Fatale on the top, bottom, and also on the back of the top lashes.
Q. Do you have a beauty signature? A fragrance or a lip color that you just love to wear?
Rachel Roy: Because of my Indian ancestry, I love darkly rimmed eyes – a messy eye adds a sexy yet natural look to a classic outfit. To make the eyes smoky, I use Revlon’s Luxurious Color Kohl eyeliner in Black Truffle on the inside of the lids.
Q: What about a lip color that you just love to wear? What do you put on to achieve your favorite look?
Rachel Roy: Bright lipstick is a way to quickly pop an outfit and freshen up a look a la Ava Gardner in “The Barefoot Contessa.” My favorite bright is MAC’s Morange lipstick – it’s a great way to add a twist to a classic look.
Q: Any last bits of advice?
Rachel Roy: Another way to make your face pop is to fill in the eyebrows. I use Bobbi Brown’s eye shadow in Navajo.

TheFind Blog found the perfect accessory for hiding the gap between your jeans and fitted tees, right where you need it – the "Hip-T".
Here in the Seattle area, there's no easier way to look like a tourist than to simply carry an umbrella on a rainy day. But rather than resort to wearing a totally un-chic ski jacket all winter long (local-style), a beautiful winter hat is an ideal way to keep warm and protect your tresses from the wintry Seattle mist of the rainy season.
Pictured is the Aubrey, Wallaroo's feminine take on the of-the-moment Fedora. The 3" brim is a great way to keep cold rain off of your face. But don't forget to wear it on sunny days as well! Wallaroo’s “W” collection offers a built in UPF of 50+ to protect against the harsh rays of the sun.
Made from 95% polyester and 5% wool with a satin lining, Wallaroo's Aubrey is equipped with an interior drawstring to ensure it will fit you perfectly!
The look is so effortlessly sophisticated! The Aubrey is available in a black or brown tweed. Retail price is a mere $40. Click HERE to buy it from the Wallaroo website.
I'm all about stocking up on cold-weather fashion! This week's ideeli sales are perfect for comfort against the elements, including leather gloves in rich colors and even rainboots!

It happened in a flash…
While dining out, a friend draped her bag over the back of her chair. When she reached back for it to grab her credit card, it was gone.
If she had a Luxe Link, the theft would never have happened!
Luxe Link, by designer Kalika Yap, is an adorably portable hook that can be used in so many situations… restaurants, offices, public bathrooms. It ensures that your bag is always in view, and hanging safely above dirty floors.
To use, unwind the chrome chain link, and place the circular top onto the edge of the table. It’s that simple! Gravity holds the top firmly in place. Each purse link comes in a luxurious suede pouch, which is smaller than a compact. You can keep inside your purse, or use as a charm to hang on the purse strap.
Luxe Link retails for $35-79 and is available at LuxeLink.com.
