Don’t even get me started on my faveeeeeeeee jacket brand eva! Usually I have to visit every boutique in Manhattan to ensure that I see each and every beauteous jacket these guys have to offer before I make my purchase but for the month of September they’ll all be under one glorious roof!

This is my jacket, which is obvs the most awesomest of the awesome:

We could deal without the model (or her weird hair) but this is the best coat. It hasn’t pilled the slightest and it is sooooooooo freaking warm. People can hardly believe how heavy it is when they try to pick it up, it’s literally heavy. I wore it as a winter jacket and will continue to wear its timeless style until it’s threadbare.

Shop the Pop-up store to find your own Mack-Dreamy coat!

WHAT: Fashion house Mackage, known for its impeccable tailoring with a sexy edge, will host a pop-up location in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District opening tomorrow, September 1.  Co-founders and designers Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan will showcase their luxe wool coats, exquisite leathers, sleek trenches, sophisticated puffys and unique packables.

Just like an old friend, Biore pore strips are just as good as I remembered them. They just do a great job of doing a few extractions, painlessly…err, almost. True they don’t get everything like your fave facial would but they also don’t cost very much. They’re such a perfect way to glamorize yourself before a fun night out. I personally think I have huge pores so I always think I need a facial, these are a great solution for in between visits to the spa, which for many of us is not as frequent as we’d like. $5.99 and they’re yours! Click here.

I also tried the blemish fighting ICE cleanser, which was an Allure Editor’s winner for best cleanser for acne prone skin. I really like the name but the cleanser wasn’t my favorite. It did clean my face but I wasn’t totally obsessed with it as I had thought I would. Don’t get me wrong I’d buy this if I were in the mood for a change but I wasn’t blown away by it. It’s only $5.99 on Drugstore.com

*In the spirit of full disclosure chickies, I received these products to review but as always my opinion is honest!*
