Boston: Neiman Marcus, Ken Downing Gift Collection

This time of the year with Thanksgiving and Christmas, not only is it the perfect time for celebration and gift-giving, it's absolutely the occasion for all that jazz.

Neiman Marcus and Camp Harbor View together hosted a reception to preview a selection of Ken Downing holiday gifts, with 10% of the sales benefiting the HeART of Neiman Marcus Foundation, which supports art experiences for youth. Copley Place has selected the Arts Program at Camp Harbor View which is committed to sharing the art of drama, music and literature to youth from Boston's at-risk neighborhoods.

Boston's own Roberta and Stephen Weiner were the honored guests of the elegant evening filled with jazz, delectable treats, bubbly and of course, some of the most beautiful holiday gifts of the season..

Happy Thanksgiving!

Boston: Neiman Marcus, Project Beauty

We can ALWAYS use a few beauty tips, non? And what better way, than from the beauty experts of Chanel, La Mer and Trish McEvoy at Neiman Marcus?

Add to that champagne decorated with candied lips and fun beauty make-overs? That's exactly what the evening was all about...

Boston: Neiman Marcus, Beauty Event Kickoff PARTY!

Neiman Marcus sure knows how to throw a party!

Last Thursday night's festivities to kick off the Beauty Event of the season was no exception.

Hosted by the amazing Katie Boyd of Miss Fit Gym, she was joined by the beautiful Miss Massachusetts, Miss Teen Massachusetts and Miss New Hampshire.  Sterling Williams of Chanel created magic with his super team, and the gorgeous "belles" of Honeybelle Body Buffer Nancy Donahue and Susan Pasanen were there for a night of beauty.

Top ALL of that off with overflowing champagne?? That's a party!

And I was happy to capture all of it...

Neiman Marcus's Beauty Event is on until March 3 2013!

Chanel No 19 on August 19

To celebrate Gabrielle Coco Chanel's August 19th birthday, CHANEL is launching the new No.19 Poudré fragrance. 

I used to wear COCO Chanel and now I like the smell of Coco Mademoiselle, but my go-to scent has always been Clinique's Happy and more recently Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy.    

Are you a Chanel fragrance fan?  Which do you like?  Or if not, what is your favourite go-to scent?
