Bobbi Brown and Winifred Grace take on Bandywood THIS WEEK.

Both Woo and The Perfect Pair have us overly excited this week. You need to hit both places before the predicted ICE storm rain hits MD TN on Thursday night. First, why you need to go to Woo:

Elizabeth talking: I don’t know about you, but this winter has wreaked havoc on my face and hands. As the temperatures dropped below 10 degrees, my reptilian hands continued to morph into monster-like appendages; my face wasn’t much better. The oodles and oodles of moisturizer and lotion I put on just didn’t sink in. With a predicted low of 2 (2?) on Saturday night, I need some serious help. Elizabeth, meet help:

Call Woo TODAY to make an appointment to meet Julie Beneke, Bobbi Brown’s premiere make up artist from Atlanta. She’ll knock the winter doldrums right out of you. She has worked directly with the diva, Bobbi herself, on runway shows and events. Her specialty is identifying your best natural features and enhancing them. Woo Cosmetics has coined this event Face Lift since we’re ALL ready for some reprieve from the winter blahs.

Part of the excitement about this Thursday’s event is the introduction of two new products, both for the eyes: a tinted eye brightener and extra eye repair cream.

Product #1: Tinted Eye Brightener

The tinted Eye Brightener is of particular interest to me as I find myself glancing in the rear-view mirror in the afternoons only to find a complete horror show. I guess the day’s trials and tribulations finally amass in two HUGE dark circles under my eyes with smudged eyeliner to boot. Usually, I grab a napkin from yesterday’s lunch for a quick repair job. Not a great result by the way. Bobbi Brown’s eye brightener is quick and easy and comes in a portable pen. It’s guaranteed to fix you up in the time it takes for the light to turn green! Plus, the pen continues to work over the long haul.

Product #2: Extra Eye Repair Cream

Bobbi’s new Extra Eye Repair Cream is a wonderful combination of restorative ingredients like peptides, natural plant oils and humectants that target fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness and dryness. It is a rich emollient cream which visibly revives the eyes.

For those readers who have never stepped into Woo’s (southeast corner of the Bandywood shopping center) you’re in for a treat. The shop is beautiful, tasteful and completely reflective of the style of its owner, Woo Caroland. There is such an understated elegance and simplicity that is quite disarming. I have always received wonderful service and advice from the staff.

Also, let’s applaud Bobbi Brown: her profile was in the business section of the New York Times this Sunday. The column Corner Office presents Bobbi Brown as a wonderfully savvy businesswomen and a great manager.

Here’s what you need to know:

Where: Woo Skincare & Cosmetics@ the Bandywood Shopping Center

When: Thursday, January 28th

What: Face Lift, a special event featuring Julie Beneke, Bobbi Brown’s premiere make-up artist

At The Perfect Pair: Winifred Grace is debuting her new Spring/Summer 2010 line this week from Jan 28- Jan 30th. I’ve said it before: not only does The Perfect Pair have incredible shoes, but I always find jewelry here that “is me.” We all have that place where we KNOW we’ll find something great. Well, one of the reasons I feel that way about The Perfect Pair is the Winifred Grace collection. Truly, this collection rocks so much more than my words can convey. I may raid the piggy bank after all. Eh hem, Jay- Valentine’s is coming!! Perfect Pair is near your work…hint hint. My mouth is actually salivating writing this post. How is that possible? This is jewelry, not food….it’s b/c the line is that good…..

Going to a cocktail party this month? Maybe The Mad Hatter? What to wear….

As T.V. series are returning to the air, (An overdue welcome back Mad Men and yippee The Office starts soon!) we are beginning our own series of weekly blogs on what to wear to specific Nashville social events. We get to talk about local charities and local fashion all wrapped together…our bliss. Each post will also feature an “If I walked into this store with only $100, what should I buy?” item. If you would like us to write about your event, don’t hesitate to let us know!

Real quick- why are we doing this? Because so many people email us asking about what they should wear! (We secretly love that, btw.) We have all been at a party with a nice cocktail dress on and seen some over-the-top rhinestones flash by secretly thinking, “Ooh, that’s just a little over the top for my taste.” Translation: “Honey, you’re waaay over-dressed and everyone in the place knows it!” Black-tie has lately been left for an even broader interpretation. I love to see a man in a tux and women in long dresses, but let’s face it, many opt for a short dress and the black-tie optional formal suit, saving lots of money and fashion headaches. The little black dress (LBD) is a fashion phenomenon because is it truly DOES go everywhere. Yes, it’s a little boring and terribly safe, but the embarrassment of the wrong outfit is a far greater fashion faux pas. But, unless it is STELLAR, we will try to step outside of the LBD box for this series of posts.

The Event: The Mad Hatter Ball at the Parthenon, September 12th @ 7PM

The Cause: The Rape & Sexual Abuse Center. For more information go to www.sacenter.org

The Chairs: Deana Day-Cartee & Nancy Benskin

Next, we asked the Cotton Mill Collection to select one item for $100 or less that is a MUST HAVE for your fall wardrobe. Since jackets of all kinds are a must, especially with lots of texture and tweed, and they are being tied up with belts, the Cotton Mill selected this Hobo belt for $94.
