Yesterday was yet another weird day in what has been a rather unusual NYC spring. The day began with threats of crazy thunderstorms and ended with great temps and humidity. I turned to tights and my trusty Vintage Shoe Company boots to keep me rainproof. When a spot of sun came through the clouds, I happened to be near Madison Square Park with my friend Aly Walansky and my friend since high school, Katie, visiting from Tennessee. Sadly, as much as I am in absolute l-o-v-e with my look, it's all no longer available, but easy to recreate.

Last night, I attended a private screening of an episode of the hit show, All On The Line, led by charismatic fashion powerhouse, Joe Zee. The episode featured designer Dana Maxx, who I met one afternoon during a SoHo Starbucks run. After recognizing me from Twitter, she immediately came across the room and introduced herself. How could I not love a sassy redhead with good taste?

What I loved the most about last night's episode, aside from showcasing her gesign ability, was that it showed how much of a great-hearted person she is. After the show, I had a chance to catch up with Dana Maxx herself and get a feel for what it was like to have this opportunity.

Style IT: How did you get involved with All On The Line?

Dana Maxx: Authentic TV (the production company for All On The Line) found my website and reached out to me to be on the show.

Style IT: What was the process of filming the episode like?

Dana Maxx: Filming the episode was a lot of hard work, but so much fun. We filmed for about two months all over New York City; at our showroom, at our factory Couture Concepts, at my house etc.

Style IT: What was the best piece of advice that Joe Zee gave you?

Dana Maxx: The best piece of advice Joe gave me was to "work backwards." I was always working forwards; first came the inspiration, then I designed and did my fabric sourcing, developed the samples, and then priced out the collection. Instead, Joe taught me to price out the samples first then design the collection. It was definitely an adjustment at first, but with this new insight, I was able to lower my price points while maintain my creative voice.

Style IT: Since working with Joe Zee, what has been the biggest change in your business?

Dana Maxx: I have really learned what my company's signature look is. Although I always had a "unique signature look" as Joe Zee says, I was completely unaware at how influential architecture is to my line. I now see buildings and shapes in a whole new light.

Style IT: What's next for Dana Maxx?

Dana Maxx: I have and will continue to incorporate Joe Zee's advice into the growth and success of my company. We are in talks with the majors right now and we have some great press lined up. I am here for the long haul, so I always welcome positive opportunities with open arms!

For more on Joe's take on last night's epsisode, check out what he had to say:

A couple of weeks ago, when I was visiting my beloved Haven Spa in SoHo, i spotted an electric purpled pink amongst their impressive Zoya selection. For some reason, I chose to go with Dita (a deep magenta, for the record). Only a few days later, the lovely ladies from Zoya sent me a care package that just so happened to include Charisma. I took it as a sign.

When I hear the word "charisma", two things come to mind: A - it's always a quality that you would like to think that you posses (and want more of) and B: I immediately think of Charisma Carpenter from Buffy/Angel. How can either of those references be bad?

This shade of nail polish does, indeed, have a lot of charisma. when I applied the first coat (after removing a botched attempted matte mani, admittedly), the first coat dried with similar properties as a matte formula. I immediately became nervous. After convincing myself to move forward (it was a Monday, after all),I applied the second coat and finally the top coat.

Since I am admittedly unskilled when it comes to applying polish, I wasn't phased by the slightly uneven texture of the two coats that I applied (I belong to the school of "slap it on in a thick coat all around"), but the dulled finish and deeper color had me concerned. However, the moment I applied the top coat, the shade sprang to life (and mimicked the color in the bottle perfectly).

Charisma is a little complicated. In the sunlight, it is a vibrant neon purple infused pink. Indoors, it can appear to be a punchy purple. I am absolutely in love! i have a feeling Charisma might be transplanted to my toes during my next Haven visit.

Pick up Charisma for only $8 here.

Have you tried Charisma? What color is currently on your nails?

In case I've never mentioned it, the Schick Intuition is my absolute, 100% favorite razor of all time. Naturally, when I learned there was a new product being added to the line, I was all over it like a razor on my legs in the spring (ha, ha). The best part? It's good for you and the environment, too.

Meet Schick Intuition Naturals, a brand new formula designed specifically for sensitive skin with aloe & vitamin e, plus it's fragrance free. When I use the razor, I did notice the slightest hint of a fresh aloe scent. The packaging is made from recycled materials and is itself 100% recyclable. Don't you feel better now?

If you're like me, then your nose crinkles every time you check out with a package of refills for your beloved razors. Why is the total so high? Oh...right. My friends at Schick are so convinced that you'll fall in love with the new Naturals razor, that they're offering $3 off your Naturals purchase, plus the opportunity to win a weekend prize pack.

What are you waiting for? I know you have to remove somewhere.

Michael Kors Very Hollywood Gift Set

$65.00 by Michael Kors at Sephora

If you told me five years ago that I would have a moderate Michael Kors obsession, I'd have laughed you off the face of the planet (truly). I don't know if it's because my sensibilities have changed as I've aged or if it was the initial launch of the Very Hollywood scented pen, introduced to me by my friend Dina at Eye4Style, that made me sit up and take notice. Since then, my Michael Kors lust has evolved into clothing (hello, Lord & Taylor) right on through to the rose gold watch that I absolutely could not live without.

When it comes to fragrance, I'm not one to pick a scent for the season. Depending on the weather and my general mood, I'll scan my fragrance shelves for the one that will complement the way I'm feeling. On the few sunny, spring-like days that NYC has experienced this year, I've always reached for Michael Kors Very Hollywood.

Maybe it's the stunning faceted bottle or coral packaging (both very important), but it's likely the notes of madarin, gardenia and vetiver that keep this fragrance just right for spring. Fresh, light, floral and enchanting - just the way I like to feel on the most perfect of spring days.

Remember that scented pen that I mentioned? It was limited edition and extremely hard to find, but now it's back for (of course) a limited time. In true Very Hollywood style, the ink is blue and scented with the fragrance, encapsuled in a gorgeous gold and coral leather pen. Snag yours now for $25 and watch everyone's face light up every time you pull it from your purse. Trust - it'll make signing those credit card receipts a lot more fun.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of attending the performance taping of The Pretty Reckless for FUSE TV's Hoppus On Music. I've listened to the band's album, Light Me Up, several times and I must admit that I'm very impressed with frontwoman Taylor Momsen's vocal abilities. Say what you will about her wardrobe choices (or lack thereof), but the look translates perfectly on stages as she writhes around singing about love and loss.

Tune in to FUSE TV's Hoppus On Music tonight at 11pm EST (or the rebroadcast on Sunday at 11pm EST) to see Momsen and The Pretty Reckless perform "Make Me Wanna Die" and "Just Tonight".  If you like what you hear from Gossip Girl's Little J, I highly recommend checking out the track "You", where you get to hear what Momsen's vocals are really capable of. I promise that you wont be disappointed.

FUSE TV is on DirecTV channel 339; cable subscribers can check local listings at Fuse.tv.

(sigh) The jumpsuit. It has to be one of the most difficult pieces to pull off in the history of woman (or man, for that matter). Needless to say, when I received a last minute invite to catch The Pretty Reckless film their performance for Fuse TV's Hoppus on Music (airing Friday at 11pm EST), I immediately reached for my beloved Norma Kamali for Walmart jumpsuit and raced out the door. After seeing these photos, my feelings are a little mixed. To jumpsuit or not to jumpsuit?
