Physicians Formula Healthy Wear™ SPF 50 Powder Foundation from Ulta!

Now that the sun has upped its ante with the arrival of spring, I'm feeling the need to add some serious SPF power to my morning skincare routine! Roaming the aisles at Duane Reade, this powder foundation literally jumped out at me, in its cheery pink and orange package with the words "SPF 50" emblazoned on the front of the package. It has a riffle of attributes that really appealed to me, too: hypoallergenic, fragrance- and paraben-free, and non-comedogenic (since I'm acne-prone). $14.99 and a hop and a skip later, I was home trying it on in front of the bathroom mirror with my fave Buki brush (I'll leave the rubbery sponge for on-the-go touch-ups). The powder is a little chalky to the touch, which I guess is to be expected since it is oil-free. The color selection is on the light side for this line, but I picked Natural Beige for my complexion, which is medium/light with yellow undertones. The powder gives a little bit of coverage, but after application, I could barely notice that I was wearing powder at all. And best yet, since I have oily skin, the powder seems to prevent the midday oiliness that's so typical for me. I've been wearing this Powder Foundation for almost two weeks now, and I've noticed that my skin is clearer with fewer breakouts, so the non-comedogenic attribute is working in my favor! You can find Physicians Formula Healthy Wear™ SPF 50 Powder Foundation at your local drugstore, or online. It's $14.99 at Ulta. Get free shipping on orders of $25 or more at Ulta, just use coupon code 53558 at checkout!

TheFind: Emerging Designer Spotlight - Alyssa Nicole



During our recent visit to New York in February for Fashion week and the Chicktopia 10 Social Influence Summit, TheFind caught up with emerging designer, Alyssa Nicole. Alyssa was one of the featured designers at the Chictopia Summit who treated the audience of fashion bloggers, retailers and media to a preview of her Spring 2010 collection. Alyssa's romantic whimsical designs caught our eye and we wanted to share her most recent collection with you. Read on to learn more about this youthful and talented designer.

Alyssa Nicole knew at an early age that she would pursue a career as a fashion designer. She has been designing since she was 12 when she created her first line of handbags. Alyssa created her very first collection for Spring 2008 at age 16 when she primarily created custom designs and prom dresses. Alyssa's designs are available on her site AlyssaBird.com.

We interviewed Alyssa to find out a bit more about her most recent Spring 2010 collection and the inspiration behind it.

1. What inspired you to become a fashion designer?
Fashion design is my creative outlet. Every collection I have ever designed has a purpose or meaning behind it. When I realized that I could design a dresses from abstract concepts or emotions, I immediately became inspired to become a fashion designer.

2. What are your influences for this season's collection?
For this seasons collection my influences were Amanda Palmer and The Dresden Dolls, cupcakes, bike riding hipsters in SF, and punks.

3. Can you describe the collection for us?
My Spring 2010 collection is inspired by the evolution of my personal style. It is designed into 2 different segments. The "badass" segment is very edgy, with a punk flair to it and my "cupcake cute" segment is very romantic and sweet. The collection was inspired by two completely different concepts, but I used color to make the collection cohesive.

4. Describe the girl you are designing for.
The type of girl I imagine wearing my clothing is very outgoing and social,
fearless, open-minded, she would generally be interested many different genres of music and films, her passions would include art, vintage clothing, and classic films. I picture her having a very busy and upbeat lifestyle, like going out to lunch with girlfriends on her break from work, then going out for cocktails later that night. She has to be properly dressed for each occasion, so I try to design many different types of dresses to fit that lifestyle.

5. What do you love best about designing each collection?
The best part about designing collections is when a collection is completely finished and seeing how beautiful it all comes together after all the hard work I put into making it.

6. What is the worst thing about designing each collection?
There is nothing that I don't like about designing collections. I love every moment of it.

7. What is the one item every woman needs in the city?
One item every woman needs in the city is hand sanitizer. There are a lot of germs floating around public transportation.

8. What is the one item you can't live without?
One item I cannot live without is my cell phone, I have GPS on it. If it wasn't for having maps on my phone, I would be lost all the time.

9. Favorite shops in SF? LA? NY? or online?
My favorite shops are always Betsey Johnson, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and anywhere where I can find cute vintage clothing and hats!

10. What is in your handbag today?
Today in my handbag there is: A cell phone, keys, prescription glasses, vintage Raybans, ipod ear buds, a red pen, and black pen, hand sanitizer, lip gloss, lipsticks in 4 different shades of red, my business card holder, my wallet, receipts from Starbucks, and about 4 expired muni transfers.

Thank you to Alyssa Nicole for taking time to share her inspirations. You can see more from Alyssa Nicole at her website, AlyssaBird.com!

Garden Party Worthy Floral Dresses for Spring from TheFind!



It's hard resist the trend for floral prints this spring. With the buzz around the Liberty of London for Target collection and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland film, fashion is a bloom with floral styles. Just this past weekend I attended a lovely Alice in Wonderland themed tea party in the hills of Marin. The party was hosted for children but the parents had a fabulous time as well - devouring scones topped with Devonshire cream, madeline cookies and a samovar filled with the most delicious chai tea you can imagine! For the tea party, I picked up a couple of Liberty of London dresses for my daughter and myself and so I am on trend for florals this spring! Here are my picks for the most fabulous floral styles to set your wardrobe all a bloom this spring.

Go for florals prints that look modern, not matronly. Choose dresses with a modern silhouette in smaller floral patterns or larger abstract florals. A mix of two or three floral prints on a dress adds a unique twist. A feminine version of a pool-side worthy caftan is the Liberty of London Draped-Sleeve Caftan (upper left, at Neiman Marcus $330.00). Anna Sui is a master at combining florals for her signature boho chic look. Sui's Printed silk dress (upper right, at Net-a-Porter $475 ) touts a floral print silk with bow tied high neckline and drapey peplums at the waist. Stella McCartney's luxe ruffled wisteria print Strapless Ruffled Dress (lower right, at Bergdorf Goodman $1965). This ultra feminine a-line style has an empire waist, strapless neckline and ruffled hem. Floral accessories should be used with restraint with a maximum of one or two per outfit. How about this lovely handmade Multi-floral Lili clutch---Liberty of London cotton Medium clutch (bottom left - top, $69 at BagatellesAndCo's Etsy shop)? I love the pretty colors on this cheerful floral clutch handmade in England by the designer and lined with corn yellow satin lining. Dolce & Gabbana's Floral Print Patent Leather Sandal features narrow patent leather straps and is waterproof (bottom left - middle, at Nordstrom $495). Perfect for unexpected April rain showers! Kenneth Jay Lane's multi-colored enamel and metal flower bracelet is embellished with glass pearls, blue beads and multicolored diamanté and has a push-lock clasp to fasten on your wrist.
