Margo & Me

I seek footwear that makes me feel both feminine and powerful, which is exactly how New York-based designer, Sarah Flint designs her collections. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve thrown on my “power outfit” for a big meeting with a pair of random pumps only to arrive at the meeting feeling far less than amazing because my feet were in so much pain. Sarah Flint shoes are distinctly feminine in their details, but at the same time, are built with fit and function in mind to make us feel like the most confident and powerful versions of ourselves. So for those of you looking to dress with the intention of comfort while not sacrificing style, I couldn’t recommend Sarah Flint’s collection more!

In an era of instant-everything, it’s no wonder we’ve lost all patience when it comes to shopping, and not to mention, the art of shipping of our precious goodies that we’ve been coveting. And so, in a bid for consumer dollars around the globe, retailers are competing by offering some pretty prestigious perks – including same day and next day delivery services. I don’t know what I love more, their curated roster of designers or how they select just the right pieces that truly bring surprise and delight to their assortments and your shopping experience. Now that Selfridges offers Next Day NYC delivery, it arrived just in time to shoot alongside the blooming tulips that so classically line Park Avenue this time of year.

So when it comes time to getting home and heading out for date night, I head straight for my comfy jeans. Pairing jeans on the bottom with something more playful on top has long been my favorite way to perfectly balance that casual chic look – instead of just being, “casual cool. Nordstrom’s free shipping and return policy also makes it super seamless to order a few pairs and return the ones that don’t work. From AG Jeans to Joes, Frame and 7 for all Mankind, I can always count on Nordstrom to have my favorite styles and washes including these from AG Jeans – their Farrah High Waist Raw Hem Skinny Jeans have long been my favorite cut – especially for summer.

It’s a luxury brand that has a cult beauty following around the world for a reason – and no it’s not just because it makes for Instagrammable gold. The range includes their core pieces like the Glow Bronzer, which I use year- round, but there are always new products launched and this season they’ve introduced Soleil Lip Blush which is available at Bloomingdale’s starting this April. The balm is unique in that it glides on smooth like a regular lip balm with all the moisturizing properties you hope and wish for, but after a few seconds, the Lip Blush delivers on the blush part, turning your lips a subtle and natural share of your current kissers. And a few months ago, I was invited into the newly renovated New York City Tom Ford Beauty counter at Bloomingdales where I sat down with one of their lead makeup artists to discover what exactly goes into getting the look of the Tom Ford Face.
