Gwyneth Paltrow has launched her own lifestyle website, GOOP by Gwyneth Paltrow. The email newsletter launched so signup if you want to get more scoop…

It’s a “collection of experiences [of] what makes life good” according to the site. Currently in its nascent stages, each of the sections (Make, Go, Get, Do, Be, See) link to an essay by Paltrow. Want to live like Gwyneth? Here’s a few tips. “Make your life good. Invest in what’s real. Cook a meal for someone you love. Pause before reacting. Clean out your space. Read something beautiful. Treat yourself to something. Go to a city you’ve never been to. Learn something new. Don’t be lazy. Workout and stick with it. GOOP. Make it great.” via Fashion Week Daily

Rockin’ the CLOT Round and Around Tee

I want to give a big shout out to EDC and Trish for inviting me to join the CLOT blog, I’ve know them for a hot min already so it’s great to join them! I’ll be invading the CLOT space with random thoughts, fashion related topics and everything else that intrigues me! Perhaps I’ll reach more Hong Kong and Asia readers there, swing over to check it out- there’s also a bunch of dope blogs on the blogroll so take a look as well. Big thanks for the dope CLOT tees, if you’re feelin’ them you can cop them on their online store- they offer women’s sizes.

*My birthday festivities got me a bit tied up to do my normal blogging, but posts will resume today! Got this new campaign in the email last Friday but haven’t had a chance to post it till today. Check it out!*

YSL Beauté has teamed up with Brickfish to launch the “Create Your Own YSL Rouge Volupté Masterpiece” campaign in celebration of their new signature lipstick, Rouge Volupté. The campaign calls on fashionistas and designers alike to create a fabulously chic masterpiece inspired by the glamorous allure of the YSL Rouge Volupté Collection.

The campaign allows participants to use any medium to create their masterpiece, ranging from painting to graphic art and many more. YSL Beauté is looking for unique gallery-worthy YSL lipstick-inspired pieces of art. The grand prize winner, selected by an expert panel from YSL Beauté, will receive a trip to NYC to have their makeup done by a YSL makeup artist. Prizes will also be awarded to one runner-up and one most viral entry. Too bad I live in NYC already, good luck to those that enter!

Introducing my newest baby, retrogurl.com! I’ve been spending a couple of months working on retrogurl.com and now I’m proud to announce it has official launched! I felt it was time to move my personal life over to a new site as nitro:licious has grown into more of a fashion site than a personal blog. From now on the Rockin’ Today and Eats categories will be posted over there, if that was of any interest to you please visit retrogurl.com. I have not fully updated all my outfit and restaurant review posts there yet but I’m slowly adding them in, I’m so happy it’s live now! I now have a place to get a bit more personal and include my friends and family, rant a bit and post anything that was irrelevant to nitro:licious! Check out retrogurl.com!
