  • Beauty How To: Runway Color Pop Eyeshadow

     
    Eye, yay, yay! In every color and every style, the bold and brightly-colored eye has been color-popping its way onto runways across the globe. We love the look, but can you actually wear that???
     
      
     
    This week we took our beauty inspiration from the looks of Dries Van Noten, Miu Miu, and Prabal Gurung (pictured above) and did a little modifying to create looks for the everyday girl. Check it out:
    On Olivia, we took inspiration from Miu Miu's red color-bars by applying Obsessive Compulsive's eye shadow in Burning just across the lid. Paired with turquoise or aqua (and perhaps a matching red nail lacquer) you've got a bright little experiment that's not too over-the-top.
    After falling in love with Dries Van Noten's up-to-the-eyebrow runway look, we went with a chartreuse/yellow shadow on Grace, and darkened the eyebrow. Add a soft pink lip and enjoy the shades of spring!
    Prabal Gurung's diagonal swipes of blue had such a bold space-age look that we decided to tone them down by working a modified cat-eye across the lid, and around the inner eye. Perfect for the medium to dark complexion!
     
    Obsessive Compulsive Loose Color Concentrates in Burning, Wasabi, and Saturate.

    Would YOU wear any of these looks?
  • Looks We ♥: Luxe

     
    Luxe. What, exactly, do I mean? I'm talking opulence, regality, excess, luxury. Gold, brocade, velvet, pearls, intricate embroidery, jewels; textures fit for a queen. Dolce & Gabbana got me started on this kick, then Balmain vied for my affection, and Valentino! Gorgeous! Now, I'm in love, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it!
     
     
    I mean, how gorgeous was Jessica Chastain at the Oscars in Alexander McQueen? The gold embroidery was to-die-for!

  • New York Fashion Week F/W 2012 Picks, Part One

     
    After just arriving back from New York after helping out with our NYFW event Style Studio, I still have fashion week fever. This year, like most every year, my Valentine is fashion, and I have anxiously awaiting the new shows from NYFW. Below are my picks of my favorite shows so far! Tune in Friday for Part Two of our favorite shows from NYFW!!
     
     
     
      
     
      
     
     
     
      
     
      
     
     
     
      
      
      
     
     
    Okay, so this isn't women's wear, but it wouldn't be Valentine's Day without some eye candy. Plus Michael Bastian's show was one of the highlights of NYFW's menswear. So enjoy. And yes, that is Tyson Beckford on the far right.

  • Store Haus: Constance Jablonski for Vogue Latin America

    Even if you don't enjoy grocery shopping, you're about to get swept down the aisle with model Constance Jablonski as she peruses over pineapples and carries on with the cabbages. Purple prints (like Dolce & Gabbana's eggplant dress) create a pastel frenzy that camouflages well within busy grocery aisles and produce stands. Jean Francois Campos photographs.
     
     
  • Best of Pre-Fall 2012

     
    Okay, so if you didn't know, we just finished the pre-fall season for 2012. Below I  highlighted my 10 favorite collections from the pre-fall season, in no particular order. You can agree with me or not, it's okay, it's what make the world turn, you know? You can always comment with your thoughts (wink wink, nudge nudge). 
     




     


     

     



     
    *So Chanel would totally make this list (it was one of my fav shows) but we already did a blog on it. So, don't freak out, k?
  • Miss Piggy: Supermodel Extraordinaire

    Who could possibly be a big enough star to have Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Brian Atwood, Suno, Opening Ceremony, and Giles & Brother clammering to design custom pieces for an eight page spread in November's issue of InStyle magazine??
     

     
    That's right, 'tis the Pig herself. She's been on hiatus for twelve years, but now Miss Piggy and her Muppet friends are back on the scene to promote their star-studded comeback on November 23 of this year. Check out her haute spread, below, and watch her exclusive interview on InStyle's Facebook (it's worth it to hear what she thought of GaGa's frog ensemble...).
     

     
    Brian Atwood really knows how to accentuate those gams! (Er, hams??? I kid!)
     


     
    Style is about expressing your inner self, capturing your personal ethos, and, most importantly, spending someone else’s money.”  To read more Piggy-isms, pick up the issue here!
