When it comes to the science of skincare, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more knowledgable dermatologist than Dr. Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas. With her 3 Harvard degrees, over two decades experience of scientific research, and three years consulting work with L’Oreal to develop an acne skincare range, it’s fair to say that Dr. Macrene is at the top of her field. Credentials aside, Macrene has a serious love of her practice and a deep concern for every patient she treats, be it Elle Editor-in Chief Robbie Meyers (a longtime patient) or the woman who walks in with adult onset acne (a specialty of Macrene’s). …

Bryan Smith of Starworks Artists
April 2, 2012 / Comments (2)
Last week I brought you The Wall Group’s Kim Meyer (refresh your memory here), so I only thought it fair that this week I bring you Bryan Smith Director of Public Relations at Starworks Artists, the equally fabulous and renowned agency representing an elite crop of beauty and fashion experts (Tracey Cunningham, Kate Lee, Molly R. Stern, Mark Townsend, Adir Abergel, Mai Quynh, and fashion styling dream team Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, to name a few). And yes, this is a first for Beauty Banter as we’ve never featured a man in our Bathing Beauty section before (note the title change …

When news spread that Kim was leaving her post at Chanel for a job as Director of Public Relations for The Wall Group (a well-known and well respected agency that reps beauty pros from makeup artists to manicurists) in LA, my first thought was, “who leaves Chanel?” But since Kim’s move to The Wall Group (and Los Angeles), …

Laura Tremaine is a Hollywood Housewife
March 16, 2012 / Comments (3)
Laura Tremaine is a Hollywood Housewife, but there is no Bravo-esque drama taking place at Chez Tremaine. She’s simply living a creative life with her filmmaker husband and their two little ones. Plus the occasional camera crew in the living room.
I met Laura several years ago, when I hosted a photography workshop taught by our friend, Jules Bianchi. A talented photographer herself, Laura writes daily at Hollywood Housewife on everything from motherhood to makeup to movies. Her Friday Links never cease to provide some fabulous article (or three) I’ve missed online or in print.
There are lifestyle blogs, and then there …

Erica Chan and Lauren Kolodny of HonestlyWTF
February 7, 2012 / Comments (4)
If you haven’t bookmarked Honestly…WTF, do it now. Seriously. It may just be the best advice you take away all week. For those not yet in the know, the site, co-founded and written by the lovely Erica Chan and the equally lovely Lauren Kolodny, is seriously entertaining. The site explodes with personality, visually stimulating images, and a diverse range of need-to-know artist and art work, of-the-moment trends, and, my personal favorite, crafty DIY projects.
Like the site, started in May of 2010, good friends Erica and Lauren are full of great finds and random factoids. Note: Lauren is the one who introduced me …
