It’s easy to fall in love with expensive, beautiful things. In the colder months, you make clouds with your breath and cleave to thick cashmere blankets and woven throws. When you’re feeling frisky, you flee to Space NK and drop an insane amount of cash on a candle that smells of pomegranates and [...]

Nearly a decade ago, I was a size zero. I subsisted on Lean Cuisine meals and had Starbucks and red wine on an IV drip. At my father’s Long Island home, I ran five miles a day and ignored the fact that, at twenty-three, I felt as if I had the body of a [...]

My first introduction to the Avon mark brand was a television segment on an industrious college student, who used her Facebook account and other social networking tools to sell mark cosmetics to her fellow college students in an effort to grow her lucrative direct-sell business. mark is Avon’s uber-hip, tech-savvy younger sister. mark is [...]

Shobha, NYC’s hair removal expert (I’m a believer in their threading, which changed my Chewbaka wayward ways), will offer its client-coveted 2-for-1 bikini treatments for seven days this September.  The offer is valid at all three Shobha® Salons when clients come with a friend (at least one person must be new to Shobha).
Note:  [...]

what’s your at-home indulgence? from Felicia Sullivan on Vimeo.

There was a time, before we lamented our checking account balances and dwindling 401Ks, when haute spa treatments and overindulgences were the norm. We’d wrap ourselves in seaweed, experience strange ultrasonic vibrations from machines that would reduce our cellulite, and slather clay earth, which hailed from obscure, nomadic countries (the exorbitant cost, and the multi-syllabic [...]

I will miss the lovely & amazing Beka.

As you know, I have enough hair for a small Italian village, and over the past year I’ve not only embraced my sheer overabundance of curl, I’ve fallen in love with it. I’ll never be in danger of thinning (what’s this Alopecia?!) or losing locks unless I took a razor to my head, and [...]

I have something to confess: I loathe kale. As of late, kale has been banished from my vernacular, tucked away in that dark country filled with horrid, bitter greens – a place where broccoli reigned supreme. So when I prattled on the phone to my best friend about this miraculous kale salad that I [...]

On June 22nd, Style Coalition hosted 13 top NYC fashion bloggers (including yours truly!) for a special video shoot at DEX New York studios for the DON’T SHOP! campaign, supporting the fashion industry and inspired by the DON’T VOTE! video. In a similar way our video starts with “don’t shop” message, and slowly turns into [...]

After a great deal of deliberation and terrific feedback, I decided to move forward with the wonderful f4a graphic treatment. Not only did I feel it was bold, fresh, and smart, the logo, along with the tagline: “What starts with fashion ends in opportunity,” speaks to my mission for the organization. To note, this image [...]

Sometimes, in my darker moments, I lie on the floor and smell beautiful things. Whether it’s a hyacinth I’ve clipped, a candle I’ve lit, a fresh cup of mint tea hot off the kettle, or a slim coating of heady jasmine cream on my hands, fragrance in any form tends to ferret out happiness [...]

I have to confess, it is downright impossible for me to covet only ten lipsticks when I’m discovering sumptuous, highly pigmented lip colors, plumpers, and glosses, every single day! Long-time readers of my blog know of my struggle with makeup application – for [...]

If you’re willing to abandon a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich, I feel for you. You must be tormented or perhaps unaware of the simplistic glory wedged between two slices of bread. As a child, I slathered butter on top of my chewy white bread and fried up a little bit of bliss. If [...]
