Diane Kendal for NARS created a beautiful make-up show for Thakoon (a Michelle-Obama fav)! Luminous skin and contoured cheeks (although it sorta helps when you’re a model to begin with, no?) fed off Thakoon’s “samurai-meets-surfer” inspiration of sharp edges and aqua blues, by the way, of which I love. Strength around the eyes and cheekbones, […]
Call me simple, but this green dress was about my favorite look of the Brian Reyes S/S collection. I usually go gaga over his stuff – along with Rachel Bilson, who sat front row with Becki Newton. Rachel wears Brian’s designs almost daily, I think!? In fact, when I interviewed her stylist Nicole Chavez last […]
Is it me, or did Marc Jacobs disappoint this season? I’m sorry, I totally heart Marc, but I wasn’t feeling his S/S 2010 collection. Uninspired? I give him credit for trying something new and out-of-the-box, always. Not too much black, which is nice for spring, and of the same flirty frocks and studs. But, I […]
Yesterday was the Rebecca Taylor show – and oh how I love thee. Every season there is at least something from her collection I lust over. And this year? It’s the cutesy polka-dot sheath and the amazing lilac hue she incorporated (huge fan of the cinched waist!). Celebs are always a show at this one, […]
Another show, another Aveda creation (this time by lead stylist Odile Gilbert). Aren’t they amazing? Jason Wu was Friday as well. You know Jason Wu from Michelle Obama’s inauguration dress, I’m sure. But did you know he’s been creating stunning apparel since his first doll clothing designs at 16? And the guy’s only 26! He […]
Edgy and punk rock was the name of the game at Yigal Azrouel‘s show this past Friday (yep, I’m still catching up from all the madness – so many shows, yikes!). Antoinette Beenders and the Aveda team took a sleek approach by using a straight-yet-messy knot at the nape of the neck. Do you like? […]
The Derek Lam runway show was yesterday and I am absolutely in awe of the make-up by NARS lead artist Tom Pecheux. So stunning! Think tribal-inspired eyes and doll-like lips – hello spring, I love you already! It went perfectly with the Lam collection of clothing inspired by fantasy getaways. Recreate this look for spring […]
Earlier I reported on the runway show from Christian Siriano – loved! Now, let me tell you about backstage beauty, created by Antoinette Beenders and the Aveda team. Honestly, not something I would recreate for myself at home (because I don’t think I would have the patience!), but it worked for the show, nonetheless. I’m […]
If you’ve been reading my blog long, you know I heart Alice + Olivia. I’m one of Stacey Bendet’s biggest cheerleaders because she makes fabulous designs that are chic and push the limit. They’re not too safe, but still completely wearable. City chic, I might say. This season’s collection, “the power of the female,” was […]
So, K. of Fab Over Forty had planned to cover Christian Siriano for me yesterday, but turns out it was the hottest ticket of the season. Hundreds of chicettes were rejected at the door because of overbooking, and celebs filled the front row (Tori Spelling, Kelly Rowland, Mena Suvari). And judging by all of the […]
