Eva Longoria brought celebrities, influencers, and editors who all share a love for tequila to kick off the summer at her Hamptons beach house. Named after her luxe tequila brand Casa Del Sol, ‘House of Sun’ is set to be the place to be all summer 2022.

Of course, the beachside event was fueled with Casa Del Sol cocktails and DJ stylings of Rythm Benz, DJ Oli Benz, and DJ Riddy Beats. Whether they were dancing poolside or had walked down to the beach, each guest had the opportunity to sip on what is undoubtedly some of the smoothest tequila.

Restaurant Review: Badshah NYC

by Olympia Dalley
written by Olympia Dalley

Located in Hell’s Kitchen at 788 9th Ave, New York, NY, 10019; Badshah is the best place in NYC to experience the taste of Indian street food-inspired dishes. Head Chef and Owner, Abishek Sharma recently updated Badshah’s menu as a way to share his culture. The all-new Badshah menu is inspired by food street carts and vendors that are vital to Indian cuisine.

I recently had the opportunity to try our Badshahs’ latest menu and loved every moment of my experience. I was quite excited to try out their menu updates which included Kerala Fried Chicken, Kale & Moong Chaat, a Crispy Kale,  Chana Masala, and Truffle Ribs.

 

I started out by trying their “Sassy Lassi” Cocktail. This drink had all the creamy and sweet flavors of a traditional Mango Lassi but with rum added to give it the sass. I can definitely see myself indulging in this beverage in the upcoming warmer months.

First up on the menu was the Kale & Moong Chaat. The crispy kale and sprouted lentils mixed with tamarind-mint chutney are a traditional snack in India. This dish was served with a side of cumin yogurt to dip and had the perfect amount of spice. While the Kale & Moong Chaat can be served in different ways in India, I quite enjoyed this rendition of the traditional snack.

 

Next up, I was served Kerala Fried Chicken. I was in love with this dish and can’t wait to head back to have it again. The Kerala Fried Chicken was seasoned with an Indian dry rub and served with a spicy masala aioli. This is the perfect dish for anyone who wants to be introduced to India’s traditional spices and flavors. The chicken was fried to perfection, was very tender, boneless, and had the perfect amount of flavor.

 

For the main entree, I indulged in both the Chana Masala and the Truffle Ribs. The Chana Masala is a traditional Northern Indian dish consisting of fire-roasted tomato curry and served with chickpeas and basmati rice. The Chana Masala is the perfect dish for vegetarians/vegans.

Over time Mary developed a genuine love for fashion and decided she wanted to become a photographer. After much success throughout the fashion world as a photographer, Mary built her brand “CULTNAKED” on her desire to “reinvent going out clothes” that were comfortable, feminine, and inspired by the early 2000s aesthetic that fueled her love for fashion as a young girl. Not only did Mary create her brand to empower women but she is also an advocate for the “slow fashion movement”. The Ukrainian-based brand has begun following suit with other “slow fashion” brands and is hoping to reduce their environmental impact by doing monthly drops, as well as, using a “make-to-order production model.

While the brand has had a huge buzz surrounding their clothing seen on major celebrities like Megan Fox, Ariana Grande, and Kylie Jenner; Mary Furtas has recently used her platform to spread awareness on Russian attacks in Ukraine. When visiting the CULTNAKED website, the option to donate to help Ukrainians during this crisis is available.

quintessential, high fashion look”. There were two stunning looks, one was a sleek straight hairstyle going back and the second look was a delicate curly look for the models with textured hair. To achieve these runway-worthy looks, Nai’vasha shared which of TRESemme’s new ‘One-Step stylers” helped her achieve these edgy yet sophisticated looks; ” To create the straight look I used the ‘One-Step Smooth‘ to get the hair sleek and smooth. For the curly look, I used the ‘One-Step Wave’ because it gives the hair shine, definition, and control.”

NYFW Backstage Beauty Report: TRESemmé X LaQuan Smith

by Olympia Dalley
written by Olympia Dalley

For one of the most epic runway shows this past FW22 NYFW, it only made sense that Celebrity Hairstylist, Lacy Redway for TRESemmé create the “Icy Knot” look for LaQuan Smith’s FW 22 runway show.

LaQuan Smith’s runway collection drew inspiration from the ’70s and ’80s après ski glam, which inspired Redway’s sleek, high gloss,  and “icy” knot. With TRESemmé being a long-time NYFW sponsor, Redway had an arsenal of their latest and greatest hair styling products to create the iconic glam look for LaQuan Smith FW22.

“I wanted the hair to compliment the glamour that we know and love from LaQuan Smith. We kept it bold, sleek and frozen in place, without a single strand out of place.”

I was especially excited to chat with Redway backstage following TRESemmé’s 2021 second annual Future Stylists Fund, which awarded 10 black female stylists $10,000 scholarships to a cosmetology school of their choice.  With

Redway being one of the members of TRESemmé’s FSF committee I was sure to ask her about the excitement of being the lead hairstylist for a major black designer, LaQuan Smith, during Black History Month. Redway shared not only how important it is for her to create opportunities for women of color in the hair industry but also why “It’s important for me to know that there’s enough people backstage that understands all hair types and hair textures.” Redway also shared “As a hairstylist, my partnership with TRESemmé is so important because we make sure to take care of all the models backstage so no one feels like they have come with their hair already styled because there won’t be someone backstage with the knowledge to style a variety of hair textures.”

As for the gorgeous makeup, Celebrity Makeup Artist, Sheika Daley created a striking eye look against glowing skin that was prepped using 111 Skin’s Sub-Zero De-Eye Puffing Mask.

Along with Julia Fox, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Chloe Cherry, and Frida Assen all walked for LaQuan Smith’s FW 22 runway show. Look below for a breakdown of how you can achieve the LaQuan Smith “Icy Knot” using TRESemmé’s runway-worthy hair styling products.

The Breakdown:

Step 1: Begin with TRESemmé One Step Smooth and work it through the hair so there is moisture from roots to ends before creating the style.

Step 2: Apply TRESemmé TRES TWO Mega Control Gel throughout before brushing hair back using a boar bristle brush to smooth out any texture to the crown of the head. Once hair is completely smooth, secure with a hair tie and split the ponytail in half.

Step 3: Wrap the two parts into themselves, creating a knot. Secure the knot with hairpins and freeze the style in place with TRESemmé TRES TWO Freeze Hold Hair Spray.

Step 4: Complete the look with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum to create the icy effect.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: ONIRO TAVERNA & LOUNGE

by Olympia Dalley
written by Olympia Dalley

Oniro Taverna & Lounge, the authentic Greek restaurant that has been a favorite in the Long Island community co-owned by the Spyropoulos family (co-owners of Limani in Long Island and New York), brings guests a beautiful menu of re-imagined Greek staples by Executive Chef Peter Spyropoulos. Like their sister restaurant, Limani, the experience transports you through Chef Spyropoulos culinary expertise. 

 

 

To kick off the evening, I opted for their Cucumber Cosmo. This was such a refreshing drink and the blend of cucumber and cranberry flavors is perfect for anyone who enjoys a mildly sweet cocktail.

 

 

For my first course, I had to try their fried calamari. This lightly fried calamari surpassed my incredibly high expectations, set by their sister Limani’s rendition of the classic Mediterranean dish.  The calamari was served alongside tartar and marinara sauce. They also offered grilled calamari for anyone who is not a fan of fried foods.

For dinner, I had the privilege of tasting trying their Astakomakaronada Lobster Pasta and, the Filet Mignon.

The Astakomakaronada Lobster Pasta was my favorite dish of the evening. The dish was a combination of two of my favorite foods, Lobster and Pasta, and I didn’t think I could love them anymore until I tried this dish. The Astakomakaronada was served in a tomato sauce and had over a pound of lobster in the pasta. I couldn’t have been happier with the portion.

The 10 oz filet mignon served with lemon potatoes and string beans were equally as amazing as the Astakomakaronada. This is definitely one of the options on the menu that is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the beautiful ambiance that Oniro has to offer but isn’t a seafood lover. I opted to have my filet prepared medium and it melted in my mouth like butter.

For dessert, I chose a classic, Greek Yogurt. I love authentic Greek Yogurt with a little honey and fresh fruit so I can’t refuse any opportunity I get to have some. The Yogurt itself wasn’t too tart, had the perfect texture and, was very fresh. I would say without hesitation that this was some of the best Greek Yogurt I’ve had and was the perfect way to end the evening.

If you’re looking for a place to eat on Long Island, Oniro Taverna & Lounge is absolutely a place I would recommend trying! The restaurant is the perfect place for a family dinner and special occasions. Something I really loved about their menu is that you don’t have to only be a fan of Mediterranean food to enjoy one of their incredible dishes because their dinner menu has an excellent variety. The service was absolutely incredible and everyone was incredibly welcoming. I can not wait to head back and try out more of Chef Skyropoulos’s creations!

.I love Christmas just as much as I love a good-themed party and I must say, walking into the Pink Metal bar was like walking into another world. Everything from the Black Hexmas themed drinks to the gothic Killstar photo booth, was all an exciting experience. As someone who wouldn’t describe my style as, gothic, I can still appreciate a good piece from any fashion brand. The ‘Doom Vegan Leather Vest‘ worn by Lindsay Hubbard is one of my favorite pieces from the brand because it’s so versatile and can be styled in a multitude of ways.

See how Lindsay styled her ‘Doom Vegan Leather Vest’ Black Hexmas Killstar look below!
