Last night I put on my brightest romper and best pair of high heels to attend Patricia Field's (costume designer for SATC, duh) "Swim-sational Disco Soiree" at 230 Fifth Rooftop, celebrating the premiere of SATC2 and her very own Patricia Field/House of Field Eyewear, Swimwear and Beach Towel collections.

Even though no one could see them, there were swimsuits, and it was certainly a soiree thanks to all the free booze (thanks Skyy!), which is really the only reason people attend these things anyway. I mean, free booze is the only reason I personally attend anything. Yes, I am an alcoholic. And I suppose the drag queens made up the "Disco." Love me the drags!

Anywho, good thing I was coming in last night at 6'2", because I could just barely catch a glimpse of the runway show, which took place amongst a mannequin installation also showcasing the swim - that you could only see if, like myself, you happened to be a giant, or you were one of the lucky few granted access to the installation itself. Scantily clad models sporting reverse-fishtail hair (courtesy of none other than hair master Rodney Cutler for Cutler/Redken) strutted around in Pat's SATC2-inspired monokinis and cover-ups, along with swim looks from Ivana Sert (SATC) and The Blonds (of Brit-Brit and Ri-Ri fame).

From what I could see, the suits were super glam - perfect for crashing the SoHo House rooftop pool a la Samantha Jones. Or for a better bet, try crashing the pool at the Thompson LES. NOT that I know anything about this...Although with all those cut-outs, you're going to end up with some CRAZY tan lines.

Do be smart about your profile. Too short and people won't take your profile seriously, too long and no one's gonna read it. Pictures - you need a mix of close-ups and body shots. Close-ups to show everyone you're not hiding an ugly mug, and body shots to prove you're not hiding a beer gut. Reversely, if you're looking at a profile and there are only have pictures from a distance or pics cropped from the neck up - keep moving. Your dream man (or girl) is definitely hiding something. Think I'm being materialistic? Well guess what people. LOOKS MATTER. And it's the first thing people see when scrolling through profiles, so make sure yours stands out!

Don't false advertise. As you're about to soon learn from my TFA date, NO ONE likes a false advertiser. Your pictures should be as recent and truthful as possible. Recently gained 15 lbs? Then don't put up pictures of you 15 lbs thinner! No matter how many pairs of Spanx you have strapped on underneath that dress, he's gonna notice. And men - same goes for you. We do notice when a 6-pack online translates to a beer gut and love handles in person.

Do get a last name and (internet stalk) away. Google search, Facebook stalk, Twitter stalk - trust me, better to find out anything unsavory now than a few dates in when you've wasted time and energy. And if you think he isn't doing the same, think again.

Idk what it is about a lipstick that I love. I think it's the stick factor. Or maybe, it's how the way the lipstick shapes itself after roughly 20 wears. Or maybe, I just have fond memories of rummaging through my mother's makeup case and finding oodles upon doodles of old lipstick tubes.

Yet, when I was about 17-ish the gloss era came to trend. MAC Lipglass and then Lancome's juicy tubes were on the market & the gloss era dominated the market. During this time, I sucumbed to conformity & scooped up as many glossies as my part-time waitress salary afforded, and big secret: I was never really a fan.

I think it was my frizzy fly-aways sticking to my lips and to this day I still scout the aisles for ultra-sheer, very gloss-like lipsticks. (and I'm not talking about a tube of, cherry chapstick - which is always in my bag.)

Now, this summer, uber-girly brand, DuWop has finally solved my decade-long dilemma with their new: Icedteas.

Icedteas: a translucent lipstick that provides a touch of gloss, yet is packaged in a traditional lipstick tube.

To me, this is the selling point.

To you?

Maybe it'll be the fact that Icedteas come in 4 scrummy (scrummy as in scrumptious) mouthwatering flavors.

I'm not going to lie, the product *doesn't* last very long on your lips, so be prepared to go to town on that tube - reapplying every 1/2 hr. But, again, if you're like me & want a light sheeny gloss in a tube - than this is for you.

All 4 shades have built-in sunscreen.

The saying "forget the past" has always been taboo in fashion...yes.

And while King Tut is loong gone, his treasures have prompted fashions finest to reinvent the tribal trend with looks reminiscent of a most fashionable time.

DVF, Catherine Malandrino, and Halston are just some designers who are taking "The Golden Age" to the streets by creating clothing with wild ikat & African prints in shades of brown, red, and burnt orange. Play the look down -or up- with solid gladiator sandals (which have replaced flip flops as the go-to casual shoe for the past few summers).

And then there's the jewelry, ohh...the jewelry! Unfortunately for us, and unless you're Lady GaGa, gold masks and extravagant headpieces are difficult to pull off. So we're forced to settle for wooden bangles, earrings, and necklaces, in what else?

Gold, Gold, and MORE Gold! But sapphire, onyx, and ruby (OH MY!) are mixed into some pieces as well.

His awe-inspiring possessions, now on display at the Discovery Times-Square Exposition, make us want to trek through the desert (Barney's) and collect some treasures of our own!

Pharoah fever is sure to stimulate the economy, so, you're welcome Obama.

TOMS SHOES doesn't take clean water for granted --- or shoes, for that matter.

They have collaborated with charity: water and have taken steps (pun intended) to make a movement above and beyond: To build a clean water well in the village of Sekura, Ethiopia. (Sekura is home to 540 residents and among the largest Ethiopian villages to not have clean water.)

The two pairs of Toms shoes for charity: water styles will retail for $58 per pair and will have limited availability for as long as it takes to fund the well. The map shoe is a heather gray Classic made from sustainable fabric with a tonal map of Africa. Jerry lining and the water shoe is a blue classic made from sustainable fabric with a multi-tone water illustration.

With every air purchased, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.

We love Toms! (Especially these gold glitters - mee-ow. Yes, I realize the glitters are completely irrelevant to this charity post.)

It's hot and sunny (!)..

So of course that means it's time to turn in your vendor applications for the Grand Central Holiday Fair.

It may be early, but I know at least a few of you GC readers are designers, gift vendors or even just have a great product to sell. This is your chance to sign up for the only indoor Holiday market in the city!

For those of you who don't know the Grand Central Holiday Fair is held in the historic Vanderbilt Hall in midtown Manhattan. People from all over New York---the surrounding areas and even tourists---attend this fair annually for unique gifts, quirky crafts and one of a kind items. The booth rental fee comes to $13,050, but with foot traffic I'm sure it's a worthy investment. So get in the Holiday spirit early and apply, the deadline is June 10th so hurry up and get those apps in ASAP!

Where? HERE.

Best. Coats. Ever.

Which crimson colored Brooklyn-native beauty blogger has been MIA lately? We'll give you a hint her blog = Beauty Addict.

Glamourcow.com has learned that this very popular lady was dating her very married older boss for some time...

As predicted once he was divorced, he gave her the ol' boot. Sayonara Momma!

Now she is supposedly dating some Hawaiian engineer who lives across the world in f*ckin Hawaii.

Tragedy boo!

(In all seriousness, it's a damn shame b/c we absolutely ADORED her product reviews & her site had a huge following. If you're reading this, "Beauty Addict", get your shit together and come back.)

Watch sex and city, listen to beyonce, upgrade bitch fo real!

UPDATE: She has even abandoned her twitter account. WTF?

If you haven't already read it and built a shrine to it you need to go and buy Kelly Cutone's, "If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You".

Pure-Fucking-Genius!

Not as self-helpy as I imagined and more guru-inspired confessions of a small town girl.

I loved it, but then again I love Kelly Cutrone. Did you know she used to do meth? Did you know she still is madly in love with her baby daddy? Or that she used to tell fortunes in Cali?

All true.

Favorite quote: "We're all hookers in one way or another."

Go get this book now.

And while you're at it, get this Kelly Cutrone inspired Rick Owens jumper because its fab!
