Continuing their long awaited forray into North America, retailer Aesop shares with us images of its second New York store. Designed by Jeremy Barbour of Tacklebox with direction from Aesop creative manager Hiroko Shiratori the space is sleek, minimal and functional, allowing  for an airy zen-like experience. A look inside on the flip.

Upon recommendation of Jason Ascher from Barney’s NY, we had the opportunity to test out  Eve Lom Cream Cleanser.  Having super sensitive skin that literally reacts to everything, I was hesitant. Especially since I’ve been a devoted Khiel’s girl for years. Like a mini facial in a jar, the blend of chamomile, eucalyptus and cocoa cream, used with the provided muslin cloth, cleans without stripping your skin dry, leaving you with a fresh sensation of well being. Yes, I am now hooked. Available at Barneys.
