Spooky Scents: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

2010

It's not even September yet, but I'm yearning for the arrival of fall and all its magic wonders. Fallen leaves, smoky air and maybe even a spooky scent or two.

If being a little out there and edgy is your game, then you need to give the range of perfumes by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lap a good sniff.

Based in North Hollywood, Black Phoenix was created by the magnificent mind of Beth Barrial.

Inspired by history, mythology and literature, Black Phoenix features hundres of unique scents from The Raven to Haunted to Jabberwocky. Each scent embodies a time, place and feeling to transport your mind and awaken your senses.

Watch the interview with Beth Barrial above to learn more, and if you adore the interviewer Katie Puckrik, like me, you must check out her website and YouTube page: KatiePuckrikSmells for her reviews on all kinds of perfumes!

Best Dressed at the Emmys!

Posted by: Siobhan Barrett

August

2010

Being the fashionista that I am, I am not opposed to the fact that award shows are not actually about who wins the awards but about the wonderful clothes the nominees are wearing!

So who's outfits were your favorites at the Emmys this year?

My personal and completely biased opinion was that Anna Paquin's Alexander McQueen gown was pure genius. Paquin stole the show completely. Not only did she honor the late designer, but chose something that represented her as a super sophisticated and strong woman.

As a die hard True Blood fan, I love everything that has do to with it (no matter how cheesy) I also enjoyed her choice of black...where the rest of the women chose soft feminine colors. I'm curious however if you think it hints towards her love for the dark vampire side?

Above, the ravishing and curvacious Christina Hendricks from Mad Men is wearing Zac Posen, with a Leiber clutch. Next to her Kyra Sedgwick in Monique Lhuillier, with a VBH clutch brings berry inspired colors out into the open for fall.

Here Emily Deschanel, in a tiered grape colored Max Azria Atelier gown topped off with Neil Lane jewels looks sweet while still commanding attention. Next to her, above, is the petite Nina Dobrev in a sparkling champagne one shoulder dress by Zuhair Murad that she paired with Brian Atwood shoes and Chopard jewels.

Morning Beauty: Jessica Stam by Steven Meisel

Posted by: Siobhan Barrett

2010

Have you ever wandered across a fashion editorial that took your breath away?

The first time this happened to me, I was flipping through a Vogue when I was about 14 and was caught breathless when I saw an editorial in the back of the magazine. From then on fashion has had my undivided attention.

As I perused Fashiongonerogue this morning I stumbled upon this editorial from Vogue Italia in 2003 done by the god of fashion photography Steven Meisel and modeled by none other than Jessica Stam.

Re-visiting Kathleen's blog on colored hair I have to say the look, styled here in 2003 by Brana Wolf was revolutionary. The way Jessica's hair glows in some of these pictures gives a whole new meaning to avant-garde.

Was your breath taken? Mine sure was!

Take a look at Tulle!

When I buy a piece of clothing, I like it to work for me. A well made garment goes a long way. This year Lulu*s has added more than a few new brands, and Tulle is easily one of my new favorites!

Believe me ladies, I get to handle these fantastic garments, and the craftsmanship is off the hook. I also bought the silk and cotton blend "Well Spotted" dress and I absolutely love it. I like that it's made from fine natural fibers, and the cut is flattering to the figure. I mean, what else can you really ask for. . .it even has pockets?!

Check out some of these cute looks from Tulle:

We have been getting so many fantastic new pieces by Tulle lately that I felt I should share.

I love the new Girl On the Moon Sweater, and these lacy legwarmers.

Cute autumn dresses.

Gorgeous coats that will get you through more than one winter.

Who is Jo Calderone?

Posted by: Kathleen McHatton

August

2010

Jo Calderone is a mechanic from Sicily. He hopes to own his own car shop and has never had his picture taken...until now.

You can find Jo on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, due to release early September.

With a slick, Elvis Presley hairdo and tough-boy expression, it's easy to glance over his similarities to a famous pop diva.

Any Gaga guesses who he could be?

Just in case my blatant hint didn't give it away, there is much speculation that this handsome Italian is the alter ego of Lady Gaga herself. What do you think?

Read Jo Calderone's Interview with Vogue at stylist Nicola Formichetti's blog.

The Shih Tzu Flag Collection

A few days ago my boyfriend walked into the house and he says, "You know I don't usually open your mail but. . ." and he hands me the offer of a lifetime!

And, oh yes, it could be yours too; the Shih Tzu Flag Collection!

It's true, I have a Shi Tzu puppy at home who looks something like this, and the inventive makers at Willabee & Ward know it. The real question is. . .

. . .do I get the snow globes too?

Back To School: Tips from a Veteran Schoolster

Posted by: Sienna Orlando

August

2010

It's that time again!

Whether you're loving it, or offering a faint sigh right now, going back to school always offers a tinge of excitement. New books, new classes, new subjects, maybe you're off to your first day of college!

Well ladies, let me tell you I've been through it, and I'd like to share a few of my best tips to help you ride out the semester!

1. Get a day planner! Especially if you are off to college. Organize your due dates, group meetings and extra-curricular activities. Take it out before the end of each class and jot down your homework assignment and due date! The fun part: Choose a planner with happy pictures or fun facts. Little Otsu publishes some of the cutest planners I've seen!

2. Don't Stress! Besides making your hair fall out, it's hard to be productive. When work starts piling up to no end, put your head down and start working. Then you can assure yourself that you are doing all you can, and soon those piles will shrink!

3. Don't Cut Class: Perfect attendance is one of the best ways to keep your grades up. You'll know what's going on, be able to get more work done during class, and also earn the respect of your teachers.

4. Get Some Rest: Reserve sometime during the week that is just for you, Sundays are a good time to get out and go to the park to let your brain breathe. Tip: Falling asleep writing that paper? Go to bed and wake up extra early to finish it. Your mind will be much clearer after a little shut-eye!

And now the fun part!!!

Back to School Fashion Tips:

5. Accessorize!: Extend your wardrobe on a budget by adding a new belt, cute hat or big focal necklace. (Check out "It Girls" Dree Hemingway and Isabel Lucas in their cute accessories, and below are few more ideas that simply sparkle!)

6. Make a Wish List: I have my sister make a wish list and email it to me, so when those birthdays and other special occasions come around I know what to get her.You don't have to be pushy, but if someone asks, why not!

Do you have any Back to School Tips?
