Time To Get Your Beauty Sleep

World renowned cosmetic surgeon, Cynthia Boxrud, M.D.

World renowned cosmetic surgeon, Cynthia Boxrud, M.D. has invented an Anti-Wrinkle Pillow, $58, so that all of you sleeping beauties with big dreams will wake up looking gorgeous! Did you know that when you sleep, you might actually be creating wrinkles on your precious face? I sure didn't!

By definition, they are called compression wrinkles, which are fine lines that form on the skin when it is crushed or squeezed. Usually, the wrinkles form first around the eyes and wind up speeding up the development of crow's feet. In response to the thousands of patients that Dr. Boxrud has seen, she decided to invent a foam pillow to help minimize these common compression wrinkles.

The pillow has a big dip in the middle where your orbital area comfortably rests free from pressure.

I tried it last night and it definitely feels strange at first, but it's so soft on your face that it surprisingly also feels really good. I guess like any other type of change, the shape of it just takes some getting used to. I didn't wake up feeling any differently, but I also didn't have any ugly sleep marks on my face. Buona notte my bella donnas!

I Started This Trend Dress: Love It or Hate It?

I definitely give Topshop props for collaborating with Kate Moss, but what the heck were they thinking with this I Started Dress, approx.

I definitely give Topshop props for collaborating with Kate Moss, but what the heck were they thinking with this I Started Dress, approx. $28? The cut of the dress (or wait, is it a long tee?) is so early 2000s. And the buttons on the side make it way too 80s. And why would someone be proud of claiming that they created that trend? Maybe I would consider wearing this to bed, but never in broad daylight. What do you think?

Simply Fab: Band-Aid Blister Block Stick

Band-Aid Activ-Flex Blister Block Stick, $7, is the latest and greatest invention for blister prevention!

Band-Aid Activ-Flex Blister Block Stick, $7, is the latest and greatest invention for blister prevention! It's the end all be all excuse for buying ridiculously expensive and uncomfortable shoes. Ahh, and this also happens to be great for your wedding day because let's face it: you can't really break in your wedding shoes without running the risk of getting them dirty!

This new product is an invisible shield that you swipe over the areas on your feet where you would normally get a blister. It actually looks kinda like a deodorant stick. The emollient coats and protects the skin from being rubbed raw by the friction of your stiff shoe. And, because it's invisible, it's safe to wear with open toe shoes and it isn't messy so it won't damage your shoes.

Kate Moss

The Kate Moss Topshop Countdown Has Begun

I know we're not the only ones counting down the days (5) until Kate Moss's Topshop collection hits stores.

I know we're not the only ones counting down the days (5) until Kate Moss's Topshop collection hits stores. Check out this storefront window at Topshop on Oxford Street. Of course it's all cool and neon-like and those garment bags are such a tease! I wonder if that onlooker is drooling. We've already had a sneak peek but did you all read the article in this month's Vogue? We have another two years of guaranteed stellar styles by our icon Kate. So there's no reason to kill ourselves, or others, to get these goods. But maybe some kind elbow nudging is allowed.

Have you all checked out my Window Shopping group yet? I just loaded it up with a few new windows so check it out. Join the group here!
